My mate Zal (who masterminded the video) thought of it, and I really liked how it sounded.  To me, the name isn&#8217;t too important in the long run, the music you make sets the tone. It&#8217;s like you have to grow into the name.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who are your influences?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m inspired by being around creative people. Its generally not specific songs or artists, but if I had to pick its people like Alby Daniels, 123MRK, Alphabets Heaven. Also the early Jurassic period is a BIG inspiration\u2026 <\/p>\n<p><strong>We know you&#8217;re from Brighton &#8211; what&#8217;s the music scene like over there? Has it influenced your music in any way?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The scene here seems to be growing bigger and bigger, everyone&#8217;s in a band,  DJing or doing something creative. Brighton&#8217;s always been a very liberal place, and I think this open-minded quality&#8217;s reflected in its music. People aren&#8217;t afraid to explore new areas, and develop new styles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>There&#8217;s a whole bunch of electronic musicians coming up right now in the UK &#8211; do you think the scene&#8217;s kind of hit maximum saturation now? How does King Dinosaur stand out?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All it means is that musicians are having to think outside the box more than before. For the scene to hit maximum saturation, there would have to be a massive decline in the creativity of people, which hopefully will never happen! My aim is to create something that can&#8217;t be pigeonholed easily within a genre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You&#8217;ve done <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mixcloud.com\/Kingdinosaur\/\">podcasts<\/a> before as King Dinosaur &#8211; what made you take the leap towards producing your own stuff?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The diversity of the music I&#8217;ve come across has pushed me to find my own sound. I was producing a little bit before I did the podcasts, but it kind of got the ball rolling. It helped me to experiment with sounds in new and initiative ways.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So who&#8217;s your king of dinosaurs, King Dinosaur? T-Rex or raptor? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It changes everyday, but at the moment I&#8217;m rating the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Utahraptor\">Utahraptor<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/soundcloud.com\/king_dinosaur\">soundcloud.com\/king_dinosaur<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thekingdinosaur\">facebook.com\/thekingdinosaur<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Words: Zing Tsjeng<\/em><br \/>\n<\/em> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When he&#8217;s not stomping with Utahraptors, King Dinosaur is carving out a place for himself in the bubbling Brighton electronic scene.
