"ACID WARRIOR" marks a new chapter in your production. What was the concept behind this EP, and what did you aim to communicate through these tracks?

This EP came together gradually. I wrote the tracks during different periods of my life, but from the be-ginning, there was a clear foundation: acid, energy, atmosphere, and melody. As my inner states and moods shifted, I translated those changes into the music, which is reflected throughout the tracks. The sound moves between deeper, more melodic moments and more direct, intense energy, while staying within the same core identity. Each track represents a different phase of one continuous pro-cess. Eventually, I realized these weren't separate works anymore but parts of a single story, so releasing them together felt natural. ACID WARRIOR became the point where everything aligned and gave the EP its name. For me, this release is about movement and transformation, but it can also be experienced simply as a complete body of sound connecting different states.

Your sound is defined by a blend of fast-paced hard techno and raw acid textures. How did you develop this unique combination, and what were your main influences?

Actually, it all started before / even began making music. I just listened to all kinds of music and always noticed that I liked certain sounds-acidic ones, which I later understood as acid. At the time, i didn't really know what acid was; | just heard it and felt it resonated with me. Then I started going to parties, listening to how others played, and gradually began DJing myself. At first, I just collected tracks and played them, and over time I realized that I liked fast tempos and acid tracks in particular. This became the foundation of my sound-something close to my spirit and character, both for my sets and my productions. Of course, I listen to other styles too, and sometimes take inspiration from them—more metallic, dry sounds, different experiments. But at the core, it's always acid and high speed.

The underground scene often demands authenticity and direct connection. How do you maintain a real connection with the crowd during your intense, hi-gh-energy sets?

During my sets, I focus entirely on the moment-the flow of the music and the reactions of the crowd. Staying calm, confident, and present helps me connect naturally. A set becomes a shared experience when energy moves both ways, and I can feel the music resonating with the people around me.

Your releases have been played in some of the most intense club environments. How does testing your tracks on real dancefloors influence the way you refine your sound and structure your productions?

Playing tracks in clubs is essential for shaping my pro-ductions. I watch how people respond to different moments and use that to refine the track's structure, pacing, and dynamics. I focus on creating a journey-building tension, introducing shifts in mood, and maintaining energy throughout. This feedback loop helps me craft tracks that are engaging both on the dancefloor and at home.

How has your experience playing at underground warehouse parties shaped the way you produce and perform your music?

Underground warehouse parties taught me the value of intensity and raw energy. These environments shaped how build tension and release in my tracks, and how/ structure sets to keep listeners captivated. I apply these lessons in production and performance, making sure every moment has impact evolution, and emotion.

Many of your tracks balance melodic moments with acid-driven peaks. How do you manage these two sides in your productions and live performances?

lenjoy exploring different moods, and it all started with my performances. I realized I liked both melodic, deep parts and pure acid in all its forms and combinations.

When I started producing, I wanted to bring into my tracks. what / used on stage both melody and acid, sometimes together, sometimes separately, depending on the idea. In the end, I found a balance that / enjoy and can share with others.

You mention "pushing the boundaries" of hard techno. What do you see as the unexplored frontiers within this genre?

Every music style evolves, with trends changing and the genre itself developing. Hard techno today is very different from what it was 10 years ago—in speed, atmosphere, and overall approach. The world changes, we change, and all of this reflects in the music. For me, it's an exciting journey where progress and experimentation go hand in hand. New combinations of styles also appear, opening unexplored frontiers for hard techno.

Your music has reached a wider audience with thousands of streams. How do you navigate the balance between staying underground and attracting a broader listenership?

I just make the sound I like. It's great when it reaches more people, because music shouldn't have limits—it's for everyone. For some, it can be a bridge to the underground; for others, the opposite-and that's cool.

Can you share a memorable experience or story from one of your live shows that has had a lasting impact on you as an artist?

Every performance is unique and memorable. At different stages of my career, they brought different emotions and moments of growth as an artist. On stage, I feel a real rush-the crowd, the energy, the flow of the music—it all charges me in a way that nothing else can.

That's why I play—for those moments when the music and the people merge into one. That feeling gives meaning to everything / do.

What are the next steps for ETRONE? What can we expect from your upcoming productions and performances?

/ will continue developing my style and sound, and we'll see where it leads.
