Welcome to Techno Mood Hollen! How are you today?
Hey everyone, I’m really grateful for this platform to share my excitement with you all. My new release has just come out, so it’s a good day!

Congratulations on the release of your new EP ‘Timeless’. W are some of the clubs and events where you’ve been road-testing the two-tracker and how has the feedback been?
I had the opportunity to personally test the EP at several parties where I performed, receiving excellent feedback from the dance floors. Some venues where I showcased the tracks include Odonien in Germany for the Double Impact event, JAM party at Extra Extra in Italy, LOOP’N’BEAT Festival in Switzerland, Union Club in London, and Connect in France, among others. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

Are there any themes or narratives behind ‘Timeless’?
“Timeless” was conceived to blend house and techno influences into a single track. The idea emerged during a period when I was immersed in music with Detroit nuances.

Are there any specific elements or sounds within the EP that you feel particularly proud of?
I like the track’s composition: The vocal part exudes a warm vibe, while the synth chord delivers engaging and atmospheric sensations.

What are some of the key influences, both musical and non-musical, that shape your creativity in the studio?
I don’t have specific influences because I prefer to produce based on what I’m feeling in the moment. However, my tracks always feature a rhythmic and engaging groove that compels you to dance.

The EP is out via your own Prospect Records. Can you talk about any specific challenges you’ve faced while running the imprint and how you overcame them?
I recall the early years of establishing Prospect Records as quite demanding and confusing. As a beginner with limited management skills, I needed help to organize everything. However, I overcame these challenges by gaining experience and finding supportive team partners.

How do you stay current with trends in electronic music while maintaining your unique style?
I keep myself updated by listening to and exploring new music among the countless promos I receive weekly. Additionally, I stay tuned to major download and streaming platforms. I find inspiration in fresh and innovative sounds, though I’m careful not to stray too far from my musical identity.

What advice would you give to aspiring DJs and producers looking to make their mark in the industry?
Always strive to be authentic and avoid copying others excessively. Drawing inspiration from others is valuable but must evolve into something uniquely yours. Following your heart and emotions in creating music will ultimately set you apart.

If you could perform ‘Timeless’ live anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
I don’t have particular preferences because each place has unique charm and vibes. ‘Timeless’ could always do its job, from intimate venues to big festivals, rocking the dancefloor.

Are there any upcoming projects or shows that you can share with us?
There will be more releases before the end of the year, spanning various techno styles and involving different labels beyond Prospect. Additionally, I’ll be traveling for shows worldwide, pushing my sound and the label with the showcases.

Any final words for our readers?
Yes, of course. Thanks for your time and continuous support. It gives me the strength to push my boundaries further and further.
