Haamid Rahim, better known as Dynoman, an electronic producer originally from Karachi and co-founder of the music collective Forever South (FXS) with Bilal Nasir Khan (Rudoh), has strong credentials. Among them are the releases that FXS has unveiled under its label. They include FXS Collections Vol ume 1, 2, 3 and Volume 4, as well as Hot Cues by FXS, Art As Reason by Eridu and Pink Passport EP by Tollcrane (Talha Asim Wynne), among others.
Having performed in NYC alongside Smax (Amman Mushtaq) and Ziyad (Ziyad Habib) and taken Karachi underground to NYC last month, Dynoman spoke to Border Movement in an extensive interview this month.
He noted: “I have had to teach myself everything I know,” adding, “I may not be good at everything I do but I would like to think that I have evolved over time, and have gained enough knowledge to express myself accurately through my music. In Karachi, I collaborated with the most unique artists. I got to know my capabilities, limits and my musical story. I soon realised that I was an artist who evolves and is not limited to a genre or sound.”
Dynoman also spoke about an upcoming show that will take place later this October. “The show on October 18 is a collaboration with an NYC crew, Tesseract. Titled ‘//data_cache’, it is primarily focused on community building and will also give producers the chance to hear their tunes on a club system. The roster will include Deisen, NelSone and I.”
He also spoke of what the future has in store. “I’m excited for what the future has in store with Blank Music,” noted the piece. “As for an update on FXS, TMPST and Abdullah Siddiqui have their albums lined up. We also plan on doing another Hot Cues and Collections series. Stay tuned!”
