What were the highlights?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">As for 2023, it was a bit of a roller coaster. We made a big decision to move to Malta and revamped our music studio. We had some standout releases, played at festivals like Dour and Fuse Club, and joined a new agency, 7Rituals. Musically, we delved deeper into crafting a unique sound for Senses Of Mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How did you guys come to meet and form Senses Of Mind? What\u2019s the story there?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">We actually met in high school and have been sharing music and giving feedback on each other&#8217;s productions for years. About five years ago, we decided to form Senses Of Mind and embark on this journey together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>How would you describe your sound and what led you to your particular niche?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Our sound is best described as an ethereal, melodic techno experience. We aim to create an atmospheric and emotive journey that resonates with listeners and makes a lasting impact on the electronic music scene.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5t9qXMgvcm4?si=_AqXhRb-F5Y-In7k\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>What advice would you give to young producers wishing to start a label of their own?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">For young producers wanting to start their own label, our advice is to see it as a beautiful adventure, embracing both good and challenging times.
