We had the good fortune to grab hold of Mega Ran aka Random for a chat about his music past, present and future while trying to survive in a round of Left 4 Dead 2. It definitely wasn't an easy challenge but, bar a couple of teething problems playing the title on a Mac, we managed to get some extra exclusive snippets of info about future collaborations in the making as well as a sneak preview of the TRAP2 preview album available solely on his current tour.
Take a look below to see some of the action and to find out if he's coming to a city near you this time out:
Finally, it must be said that Mega Ran is easily one of the nicest and most down-to-earth people we've ever had the opportunity to talk to. He deserves to see you guys out in full force promoting his tour (dates as of posting will be listed below). Take a look at his Youtube channel also to hear a large chunk of his back catalogue for free as well as some extra tracks not sold, but given away via his bandcamp!
