Although you are most known for your solid techno sets, from time to time you surprise the audience with some deeper tracks in your mixes. Is techno your one true love, or are there really no barriers for you?
There is a lot of great deep and trippy techno around so ill play everything I like. Deeper stuff to build up the night and more full on stuff later on at night. If its fits my vibe I’ll play it!
Over the years you’ve probably seen quite a few DJ’s rise and fall quicker than the sun on a dark winter day. What do you think sets you apart from others?
It’s up to the crowd to decide if you are in demand. Furthermore I just focus on delivering good sets and spent a lot of time in the studio making music. I very happy and thankful I can still follow my passion, its my biggest drive!
Over the past, you’ve worked with the likes of Joris Voorn, Adam Beyer, Kaiserdisco and Kolektiv Turmstrasse. So who’s next on your wish list?
Since two years I only realease music for Drumcode. I have a very nice work relation with Adam and he supports me a lot with the music I make. So all the track I make I sent to him and later on we decide which ones will be on the next EP.
What are your plans for the coming year? Any releases we should definitely set our alarms to?
My next Drumcode will be out soon and had 4 tracks on it so very much looking forward to this release. It’s a summer bomb!
How about your side project with Anton Pieete, District One? Any future plans?
We spent time as friends together but not much in the studio so no future releases planned for us so far.
Old-school, jackin’ house and disco seems to be making a steady comeback lately, being heard more frequently on dancefloors throughout the country. Techno seems much less susceptible to these kinds of trends, why do you think that’s the case?
Techno has been there for ages and it’s not a hipster sound. You have years of trends were techno goes deeper, and in other years after that it’s going more solid and uptempo. But the basics are there and that won’t change. Techno is here to stay!
