#snscrn

Hailing from Las Vegas, Nevada, 21 year old beat maker, SNSCRN has officially stolen my heart. Many music lovers spend quite some time looking for that perfect sound that they hear for the first time and know something magical is happening. That is how I felt when I first heard SNSCRN's funky tunes. 

SNSCRN's most recent release is his EP, Lips. The album is perfect in every which way. Sampling perfection, groovy beats, and outstanding uniqueness. The second track off the release, Ave. B, is the first SNSCRN song I heard and it was at that moment that I fell in love. Lips is SNSCRN's 4th release which also includes an amazing single called Miss You. Make sure to check this guy out and keep him on your radar! Chances are you will love him just as much as I do!

Hey man! Thanks so much for taking the time to chat! Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Hey, Corbin! I’m 21 years old, from Las Vegas, NV. I make music everyday when I’m not at school.

How long have you been making music and how did you start?

My mom bought me a Korg Electribe EM-1 when I was around ten years old. I would come home from school and go straight to it. I started rapping over the beats after a while. I eventually got in touch with someone at a local recording studio, and they let me record my songs for twenty bucks an hour. I recorded four songs with them at the expense of my folks. I still have the CD with the four songs but I will never show it to anybody because my ten year old rap voice was hilariously embarrassing.

Whats is your strongest musical belief?

I don’t know. I think a lot of people get discouraged from letting the world hear their music because of all the music being released everyday. It’s easy to get thrown under the dog pile of music, and musicians see that. But the music won’t ever get heard if you only allow yourself to hear it. So, let the world hear your stuff! If it’s good, it will find it’s way to the top of the dog pile.

Your newest EP, Lips was absolutely amazing! Can you tell us a little bit about it? 

Thanks, man! I really appreciate that. I was trying to release it for a year before I finally did. I had a bunch of songs I knew I wanted to release, but they just didn’t quite fit together. Eventually after making more and more songs, the EP started to take form.

Who are your biggest musical influences?

My friends. We all kind of influence each other. They’ll make a song and send it to me, I’ll make one and send it to them. They inspire me a lot.

You are from Las Vegas. Of course, everyone knows of the tales of love, wealth, and fame in the city, but how is the music scene?

Honestly, the music scene isn’t great. I remember when Myspace was king I would message my favorite artists asking them to come to Las Vegas and play shows. Only one ever responded. Their manager said there just wasn’t a big enough demand for independent music in Las Vegas. But, occasionally we’ll get some bands that play the Beauty Bar. I think Ty Segall is playing in March. Stoked for that.

You just recently joined Denver based label, Shoeboxx Recordings. Can you tell us about that relationship?

They’ve been really cool so far! One of my friends showed the guys at Shoeboxx my tunes and they dug it. So they shot me an email offering me a spot on their roster. I couldn’t say no! Paul and Eric have been super professional since day one. I’m super happy to be a part of Shoeboxx.

If you were an animal, what kind of animal would you be and why?

Probably a mouse. Because I’m quiet and I only come out for food.

What are a few of your musical goals?

I really just want to inspire people to be creative.

What can we expect from you in 2014?

More music! I have a couple of singles I’m working on. I plan on getting them released in the next month or two.

Thanks so much for the time! Best of luck with the new year ahead! 

Thanks, Corbin. You too!

Make sure to download Lips EP from SNSCRN's Bandcamp!

snscrn//miss you

it's the kind of beat that makes you feel things.. makes that missing of someone get pounded deep down inside of you until your heart wants to explode. 

SNSCRN - MISS YOU

Here is SNSCRN's incredible beat "Miss You", a short yet tasty jam we've been spinning for about a week now after we landed upon one of his newer singles. The mysterious beat-maker, apparently hailing from somewhere in the US, has got us drooling all over his Soundcloud page and with only a couple of tracks up there, that's mighty impressive. This track has particularly caught our attention with its great use of samples and thick hip-hop beats and we can't seem to get enough of it. Missing someone? Pick this up over at Bandcamp and throw it their way. Message received.
