DJ Kristian Nairn Featured on Music Feeds

DJ Kristian Nairn has been keeping busy since is departure from HBO‘s hit series Game of Thrones. Nairn has been bringing his renowned tour Rave of Thrones to cities around the world. Nairn recently brought Rave of Thrones to Australia, where he made time to chat with Australia’s Music Feed. Check out some of the exclusive interview below, but be sure to head over to MusicFeeds.com.au for more!

MF: Since Rave Of Thrones was announced, you’ve taken it all around the world. How have the shows gone down in other countries? I feel it’s something that transcends language and culture barriers…
KN: Yeah, it’s been a big indicator to me, of the global reach that the show has attained.  It’s gone far beyond what any of us ever expected I think. It’s crazy to turn up at a place SO far away from home and still be recognised!

MF: Now that your profile as an artist has grown separately to your work as an actor, what sort of crowds do you see at your shows now? Mainly GoT fans? Or Kristian Nairn fans?
KN: It’s truly a mix. The shows go out either as a Rave of Thrones show, which is more themed with dancers and props and the roads tends to dress up more, and also just my DJ set. As I said though, we get a mixture of both at both types of event and I really think that’s what gives it its special atmosphere.

MF: It would be interesting to know, once you started your DJ career during ‘Thrones’, did you inspire any other cast members to pursue their musical dreams?
KN: I’m always encouraging to anyone who wants to branch out, as long as it’s done with integrity, and for the right reasons. The GoT cast is just such a multi-talented bunch anyway, I think they have it covered!

MF: Earlier in the year, you featured our own The Aston Shuffle during one of your Soundcloud sessions, how well versed are you on Australian electronic music?
KN: I always find the Australian music scene is a little ahead of the curve compared to most parts of the world, so it’s nice to get a sneak peak at what’s coming. The guys (Aston Shuffle) are superb, and I’m so glad to see them doing so well!

MF: Can we expect an album in the near future from your good self?
KN: I go back into the studio very shortly actually when the touring winds down a little bit. I’ve never been more excited about the material we are at a very early stage of putting together. Whether it’s an album or series of EPs, I don’t know yet. 2017 will tell that story!
