Imagine a world in which the term “EDM” had absolutely zero cringe connotations. A world where Electronic Dance Music was free of its associations with glow sticks, frat bros, and hula-hooping tweakers. This is the reality that DRAIN GANG member THAIBOY DIGITAL has been dreaming of—and manifesting—as his alternate musical persona DJ BILLYBOOL, whose first feature-length album, DYR, is out today. In a new interview with @elitewaste on 📲032c.com, he opens up about merging the influence of Swedish nostalgia with Thai nightlife, running his own label, and everything you should know about DYR (It is an acronym for “dream your reality,” but also means “expensive” in Swedish.) CG: What would be the most ideal setting for people to hear DYR for the first time? TD: I think on a fjord on a cold, dark, misty morning—or maybe on top of a mountain. A serene place where you can breathe clean oxygen and get into a meditative state. ty @varg2tm
