Your remix of "Drifting" feat. Jyll for Pretty Pink was recently released on Deep Woods. Can you talk about the creative process behind this track and what inspired you to take it on?

Working on the remix of "Drifting" feat. Jyll for Pretty Pink was an exciting journey. I wanted to preserve the dreamy atmosphere of the original while adding a more driving energy that works on the dancefloor. Jyll's soulful vocals were a big inspiration, leading me to experiment with subtle melodies and atmospheric pads. My goal was to create a balance between melancholy and euphoria, drawing the listener deep into the track. Collaborating with Pretty Pink and having the trust in my creative vision gave me a lot of freedom. In the end, the remix turned out to be both intimate and powerful – exactly what I envisioned.

Your music blends majestic and powerful sounds, typical of melodic techno. How would you describe your musical style, and how do your live performances evolve to reflect your sonic vision?

My musical style is a fusion of melodic techno with a cinematic and emotive touch, characterized by soaring melodies, deep basslines, and intricate soundscapes. I aim to create a journey that resonates both on an emotional and energetic level, allowing listeners to feel immersed in a story. In live performances, I adapt this vision by blending my productions with carefully selected tracks that complement the atmosphere I want to build. Each set evolves dynamically, starting with a moody and introspective vibe before building toward powerful, euphoric peaks. Improvisation plays a key role, as I tailor the energy of the performance to the crowd's response in real time. Ultimately, my goal is to bridge the intimate and the grand, crafting an unforgettable sonic experience.

"DREAM WORLD", your radio show, has gained an international following. How do you choose the tracks and atmospheres to feature in the show, and what kind of emotion do you hope to evoke in your listeners?

For my radio show "DREAM WORLD", I carefully select tracks that align with its overarching theme of emotive and immersive storytelling. I focus on music that balances melodic depth with an energetic flow, curating a journey that feels both introspective and uplifting. The atmospheres I feature often explore contrasting emotions, from serene and dreamy moments to driving and powerful peaks. My goal is to evoke a sense of escape, where listeners can lose themselves in the music and connect with their own thoughts and feelings. I also enjoy including exclusive tracks and unreleased material to keep the show fresh and exciting. Ultimately, I want each episode to feel like a personal invitation into a world of sound that inspires, soothes, and energizes.

You've gained a lot of attention as one of Leipzig’s rising stars. How do you think the city has influenced your music and career, and what are your roots in the German electronic scene?

Leipzig has shaped my music and career in a very special way, especially through the support of the local scene. My mother has always believed in me and encouraged me to follow my passion from the very beginning, which gave me a lot of strength. Some event organizers in Leipzig also gave me a platform early on and helped me take my first steps into the electronic music scene. The city itself, with its vibrant underground culture and creative energy, inspired me to develop my own style. At the same time, the events and people who supported me showed me how important community and mutual support are. Without these roots and the backing I received, I wouldn’t have been able to pursue my path with such confidence.

Throughout your musical journey, you've collaborated with various artists and producers. Is there anyone you dream of working with in the future or a project you’d like to pursue, perhaps exploring new genres or collaborations?

In the future, I would love to collaborate with artists like Pretty Pink, Einmusik, Jan Bloomqvist, or Rebūke. Their creative vision and unique approach to music production inspire me a lot. I imagine how exciting it would be to combine electronic music with different styles and create new soundscapes. It would be especially thrilling to blend deeper emotional layers with driving beats, creating a completely new atmosphere. I could also see myself experimenting with genre fusions in a project. This year, a new single will be released, and I’m really looking forward to taking this next step.
