The saying “good things come to those who wait” rings true when it comes to Mathew Walker. More commonly known as Julio Bashmore, the Bristol-born artist\u00a0burst onto the house music scene six years ago and his base-heavy anthems have proved to be mainstay dance-floor fillers the world over since \u2013 there isn’t a single nightclub (good or bad) the UK over that isn’t guilty of blasting out “Au Seve” or “Battle Middle for You” at heart palpitating volume on a Saturday night and who could blame them?<\/p>\n

Bashmore’s meteoric rise from obscurity is unsurprising, though. With the diverse diet of music the beatmsith grew up on (everything from\u00a0Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, to Pink Ffloyd and Emerson, Lake & Palmer) thanks to his father,\u00a0and the American sounds he became drawn to, thanks to his brother \u2013 Bashmore has managed to carve himself a desirable niche within an industry saturated with throwaway tracks that are surface deep.<\/p>\n

What is surprising, is that Bashmore is yet to release an album. Until now, that is. Charted for release 7 August, Bashmore’s long-awaited debut \u2013 Knockin \u00a0Boots <\/em>\u2013 is causing quite a stir. Having recorded a large part of his debut in London’s Redbull Studios \u2013 who have kindly given us a preview of the album with their short film about Bashmore<\/a> \u2013 there will also be an album exhibition at the studios from 27-31 July. Here, we catch up with Bashmore to talk erotic novels and dropping unforgettable beats.<\/p>\n
