Hi Joanna, now you are at the peak of your career, how can you describe your 2024?
First of all, thank you for having me, Techno Mood. In retrospective, 2024 was an incredible year with a handful of releases, events and overall career development, cant wait for what’s to come this year!
You are producing a lot of tracks right now, how do you manage to be so productive? And what are your keys when you are in the studio?
I feel like every morning I gotta hit the studio otherwise I get anxious. It has always been like this but I perceive that now I spend more hours producing than playing, I don’t know if this is a good thing *laughs*
Another interesting fact is that you are experimenting with psytrance melodies and kicks together with hard techno stuff, when was it that this inspiration came?
I feel like its clearly a trend. Sometimes people see trends as nocive or toxic and of course if they are taken to the extreme they can be. However trends are also reflexions of society and to me that’s very interesting. This generation seems to carry a feeling of urgency, agony and “fast-life” that in my opinion hardcore fills, Psy bass and the screeches seem to reflect. Above all, I let inspiration guide me and keep experimenting with a multitude of sounds apart from those as you can hear in my discography..
In 2025 you begin to “destroying” your creative boundaries including your own voice in your tracks? What do you think is the plus that this fact adds to your tracks?
I really like to experiment with my voice so although it took time and courage, it happened naturally. Vocal timbre is something very specific so I think somehow this will imprint my identity onto my work.
Regarding this fact of growing and experimenting with Sound and new resources, what do we have to expect about Joanna’s 2025?
This year I want to experiment more the blend of completely different musical genres with rave sounds. You can expect soon releases including Brazilian Funk, Trap and Metalcore
Thanks for All Joanna, hope you keep your energy and continúe growing this year!
