Interviewing Digibilly

Eclectic, experimental, and hard hitting are just few words to describe the artist Digibilly (Joshua Pearson). He’s a Drum & Bass producer out of Philadelphia, PA. His music encapsulates the root essence of Drum & Bass while bringing a new twist to the genre by including Metal and Hip-Hop in each composition.

Digibilly’s music is driven by his eclectic love of many genres. He sees Drum & Bass as a versatile canvas that is waiting to be painted and manipulated. Overall, his music has a tendency to be dark and heavy, but all of it has a momentum that will move your feet. The fusion of sounds and beats from different genres is what makes what he is. This fusion of the new with the old is the true definition of the word, “Digibilly”.

Driven by sound design and engineering, he finds beauty in complexed compositions as much as the simple. In doing this, he follows a similar technique to his inspirations. Noisia, one of his main inspirations, has been very influencial in the sound that he creates. He also loves the energy and sounds of bands like Prodigy. You can hear this inspiration in a lot of his heavier tracks. He is not only inspired by other electronic music, but by classical and cinematic compositions.
