Hello Raw Ideology! How were you?
Hi guys – thanks! Thanks for having me.
Reflecting on your career in Electronic Music, how have your experiences shaped the music and sounds you create now?
100%! Everything I've seen over the years has made my vision really clear about what I want to hear and put out there. I was able to trust my instincts and see good reactions from various crowds.
Can you share with us which of your releases you're proud of so far this year?
Yes, I have new songs that I really like. I put them in a guest mix for you to check out, but they will be released in the coming months. The tracks are 'Arrakis', 'Opio' and 'Spectron'.
As the Electronic Music landscape evolves, what new sounds or genres are you experimenting with in your current and upcoming projects? Do you plan to infuse other genres with your signature Techno sound?
I wouldn't say infusing other genres, but I'm definitely free to experiment with different sounds and styles. Nowadays it's all a big twisted salad. I saw a video of a song that combined Trance, Hard Techno, Gabber and Dubstep. I don't really enjoy it. I think each genre should stand on its own, especially since other genres don't do that with Techno. So why is Nu-Techno trying to mix it up? On the other hand, it also gives you creative freedom to try new sounds and not be stuck with labels.
Do you plan to collaborate with other artists, singers or producers in the future?
Yes definitely. I plan to add singers and instrumentalists to the mix.
Do you have any upcoming shows and sets in the works for this year?
Not yet as I'm recovering from surgery and tending to some things around the house. However, I am taking some of my event brands like Spot to Brazil to do cool shows.
How do you currently engage with your fans and navigate social media to expose your music?
Lately, I've definitely been lacking in that area. It has not been an easy year and creating content has been difficult due to commuting issues. But I have some good ideas for visual content.
Where do you see your sound going as you continue to find new influences and inspirations?
Good question. I feel like it's getting harder and harder to find fresh stuff for everyone. That's why people try these unusual mixes like Dubstep + Gabber. But I've found my groove and I really think my sound is different than others, so I'll continue to trust my formula and enjoy what comes from it.
Can you give us a sneak peek at some of your upcoming releases?
Yes, the ones I mentioned before will be played in my guest mix for When We Dip!
Looking ahead, are there any major goals or milestones you're aiming to achieve in the next year in your music career?
Absolutely. I want to get back to the shows regularly, release a good amount of music and enjoy this lifestyle.
