In this episode of INSIGHTS, we have the privilege of being joined by a true stalwart of the UK bass music scene. If you’ve been paying even the slightest bit of attention over the years to that signature strain of wonky, skewed, bass driven techno, as purveyed by seminal labels such as Hessle Audio, Timedance, Livity Sound, Hemlock and Idle Hands, you will certainly be familiar with Bruce, who boasts a slew of landmark releases on all of the aforementioned imprints. We look back over his incredible career as well as discussing some extremely exciting new projects, most notably his new party TURN ’23 which debuts at Strange Brew in Bristol on the Saturday 28th January with an absolutely ludicrous cast of greats from across the electronic music spectrum - DJ Marcelle, Nazar, Shelley Parker, Biped, Sybil, Aura Tekh and of course, Bruce himself.

Over the course of this interview, we begin by discussing Larry’s early years and formative experiences, meeting Ploy and Batu whilst studying at Bath Uni, moving to Bristol, the city's club culture and how two emails from Ben UFO and Peverelist in 2014 springboard his production career. We then discuss some of his career-highlights, both as a producer and DJ before moving onto his current projects - XRA with fellow Timedance and Hessle Audio heavyweight, Lurka, as well as his new solo live set. We conclude by talking about his Get Loose parties, before previewing his tantalising forthcoming event TURN ’23!

We are giving away three tickets for TURN ’23 to one lucky winner! Head over to www.instagram.com/awake.allhours/ for details.
