"The SUBPAC is a game changer. Another dimension has been created for experiencing sound vibration."
Q&A with Shivarasa about the SUBPAC:
What role does “feeling” play in the music you make and love?
Feeling is everything for me. Music is pure vibration that can manipulate how we feel in any given moment. I believe it is the most powerful art form that exists for that reason. I love being able to shift the vibration of a room when I DJ, and even more than that, I love being able to create the sounds that help me express how I feel.
Has the SUBPAC changed the way you create, produce or mix music?
SUBPAC has opened up another portal in how I create music. I no longer have to depend on just my ears to decipher the low end frequencies, I can feel them. I can feel if a high hat has a low end in it that I normally couldn’t hear. I can feel if my kick and bass are muddied up together. Sometimes I even use it to prepare for my live sets.
