INTERVIEW: T8PES

The kingdom of heaven resides within us.

The extraordinary vocal talent from Birmingham, UK, not only inspires us musically but also with his warm heart. ‘Flashback’ to 2018 when we first discovered the wonder of T8PES with this debut single. Feel a huge burst of positivity and motivation as you press play, and you’re taken back to the 90s rave.

I've always had quite an eclectic sound because I'm influenced by so many different artists and genres, so the musical style can be somewhat difficult to describe and pin down. The whole vibe of this debut T8PES project has been centred around old skool rave, garage and jungle with added elements of modern Hip Hop and Grime.

The sound of T8PES is a melange of optimism for life together with nostalgic inspiration. His lively flows sit atop fun garage-style beats with a bright energy in the air. T8PES has just released his debut album '<<'.

The album was inspired by a nostalgia driven vision I had to capture the feeling of rave culture back in the day and blend it with my other musical influences. In terms of content some of it was reminiscing, some recalling stories of misspent youth, love and heartbreak, social commentary, and a strong core of positivity and good energy.
