Can we start with a brief look at the beginning of your career. What was your introduction to electronic music and do you recall the defining moment that you chose it as a career path? 

My first steps in electronic music began when I was around 14 or 15 years old. Like every younger brother I used to do everything that the older one had done before me, like, for example, listening to this kind of music. The moment where I decided to dedicate myself to make music was after I left two university careers, in that moment I felt that I was in the wrong path, I was not doing what I really liked and enjoyed.

 

How are you dealing with the current Covid situation? Has it been possible to focus on making new music during this time? It has a huge impact on travelling DJs obviously.

Honestly this situation has hit me very hard, financially and mentally, I think we all are at some point in this position. But luckily I have a escape from reality which has been always music, and if I have this, I can concentrate and do several things. When I’m at the studio, I feel like is the only moment where my problems disappear, it’s just me and the music (at least for a while).

 

Tell us about your label Or Two Strangers. What was the main reason you wanted to start your own label, your initial vision for it and how has it evolved to where are you today?

The main reason why I created my project “Or Two Strangers” was because this label had been one of the factors (among others) that finished creating my musical identity, also I was able to show my way of seeing music and to could share it. With this labeI I was giving a chance to new talents. Nowadays the label has grown much more than I has expected, like having many top artists on board, reaching the top in sales. By the way, always conserving the main idea.

In 2013. Nick Warren selected yours ,,Blow your mind” production for his latest Renaissance compilation. How much has that affected to your career? In that moment, it must have been a huge achievement for you. 

It was definitely a huge achievement. I had just been into progressive house music, and the fact that Nick had selected that track marked me a lot, because we all know what he means for the scene. At that moment I realised that I could produce and create really good things, and that everything you.

Which labels or producers you think that have pushed the musical boundaries to create unique records, could you name some?

Sudbeat was definitely one of the main ones, also Plattenbank, Replug, Balance. And artists like Sebastien Leger, Eelke Kleijn, Guy J…
