How would you describe the evolution of your sound in the new single "The Future" compared to your previous productions?
With 'The Future,' I feel my sound is evolving toward a much more versatile landscape. I’ve moved away from sticking to a single genre and started focusing on blending diverse sonic elements into a cohesive style. It’s all about breaking boundaries.
Vermaya’s remix brings a different atmosphere to the original track. How did you collaborate to create this version?
It was a very easy call to make. Vermaya was the first artist I thought of because I knew he’d bring a unique energy to the track. We moved quickly on it, and I’m really happy with how he transformed the atmosphere while staying true to the core of the original.
You’ve had the chance to perform alongside some major artists. Is there a particular experience or moment behind the decks that left a strong impression on you?
Sharing the booth with Reinier Zonneveld was a major highlight. His live sets are a masterclass in energy and originality. Seeing him build that atmosphere from scratch was inspiring and reminded me why I love this industry.
Your music is known for its dark and intense atmosphere. How important are personal emotions in your production process?
Personal emotions are the foundation of everything I create, it’s a way to channel feelings that are hard to put into words. I find that the studio is the best place to process those heavier emotions, and turning them into something powerful and rhythmic is how I connect with myself and my audience.
What are your next goals or musical experiments you’re planning for the future of your career?
The goal for this year is to bridge different eras and regions. I’m currently producing several EPs, including some remixes where I’ve been sampling 80s and 90s gems to see how they resonate with today’s club sound. It’s been a rewarding experiment so far. Beyond the studio, I’m putting a lot of work into an upcoming tour schedule in the MENA and Europe region.
