Hope all is well in these strange times?

Thank you very much for your asking and for the interview! I am doing well and I am making the best of the situation.

Keeping yourself busy in a lockdown?

Yes, indeed. I have now slightly shifted my focus and invest more time in my own label Wanderlust. I use the free time on the weekends for more work in the studio and to listen to new demos. I started streaming live on Twitch very early in the crisis phase. I was missing this direct contact with the fans in the club and this way I now have a possibility to stay in contact and communicate with them.

What effect does the Coronavirus have on you on a negative and a positive way?

The negative aspect is, of course, a very human one: you worry about friends and family. The cancelled events also play an enormous role, of course, since I was out having gigs every weekend before. The positive aspect is that I take more time and enjoy things more consciously.  And now new ideas like the live stream are coming up.

How do you see the future of DJ’ing?

I do not believe that anything will change significantly. Of course, apps and streaming services will be expanded, but I think the digital experience can’t replace the real experience in a club or at a festival by far. But how the development will actually be, we will probably only see in the future.

You released a new track called Move it with an AKA AKA Remix on board. Tell us all about it from idea to production.

I had the idea for the track in my drawer for a long time. I still remember the first steps of the production in the studio, which came very quickly. Sometimes you sit for a long time on single parts or sequences, but this one was a bit different and everything worked very well right away. The goal was to have a very rich groove from the beginning to the end. And according to the reactions so far, it seems to have worked out. While I was testing the track live AKA AKA loved it and ask me if they can remix ‚ Move It‘, their remix is very special it is your bouncing and perfect add on to my original! You should check it out!


How do you approach production – do you have a routine or wait for inspiration to come?

Yes, of course, I have a few procedures and steps in the studio that are always similar. So let’s call it a certain basis to go into production. But at a specific point, it becomes very detached from this routine and I go on an excursion. You have to maintain a kind of dynamic during the production so that it always becomes a little adventure in the studio.

What do you see yourself as most… a DJ or producer?

At the end of the day, I don’t really split that up. I’m a DJ, a producer and also a label owner. And it’s exactly this combination of the individual parts that gives me so much fun and pleasure in the music and the music industry itself. I started out as a DJ and the work in the studio and the work with the label came later, but in the meantime, I have grown very close to everything and don’t want to miss anything.

What gives you inspiration these days?
I have to admit that I really enjoyed travelling and discovering new cultures, places and people. I have drawn a lot of inspiration from this. Of course, that’s what I miss at the moment. On the other hand, I am now very much reflecting on the here and now, experiencing moments more consciously and also appreciating the little things of everyday life very much. From this, I gain a lot of positive energy, which I can release in the studio or during my live sets on Twitch.

Thank you.
