NT89 Interview
POSTED BY Sam ON December 13th IN On The Radar, Tracks.
Why did you choose the name NT89 (1989 I presume?)
I chose this name because it’s the web-alias that I’ve used all my life, it contains my initials: Nima Tahmasebi and my year of birth, 1989. You prenounce NT89: Nineteen Eighty Nine, it’s important for me because I feel to be one of the latest sons of the 80s 
When did you first start producing and why?
I think it was around 2004, I grew up listening to Daft Punk and I had always loved electronic music, and I had ideas that I wanted to represent through an audio wave 
Who inspires your music?
The crowds, the clubs, artist-wise; I’d say my Italian buddies like Congorock, Cécile, and of course The Bloody Beetroots.
