Timelock // FAEX OPTIM // January 2021

Welcome to the fifth episode of Timelock, a podcast from Gated where guests choose the records they’d like to be placed in a time capsule to represent their lives. This episode features critically acclaimed producer Faex Optim, or Wes to his friends. With several dreamlike downtempo albums under his belt, Wes has also remixed many an artist including PBS'73, 4T Thieves, and Krystian Shek. Wes and our host AMC delve into the origin of his moniker, the importance of live music in your teens, and finding inspiration from failed projects. This version includes the music Wes chose, but there is also an extended cut of the chat on our Anchor channel. You can find his Bandcamp here https://faexoptim.bandcamp.com/ And his SC here >>> https://soundcloud.com/faexoptim
