What’s your earliest musical memory? 

When it comes to electronic music my earliest musical memory was the short live video clip from Daft Punk’s Alive 2007. I got into DJ culture immediately after watching that and went on to discover artists like The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Digitalism, Boys Noize and so on. 

How did you first get into DJing and production? 

I got into DJing when I was 14. I was just surfing the net and I found a little portable DJ device, ‘Pacemaker’ by Tonium which was able to mix two channels with several types of FXs with a fundamental 3-band EQ. So, I saved up and eventually got it and started to learn how to mix songs properly (still have it to reminisce about those early days!) Many of the producers whose music I was interested in back in those days were using Ableton to make tracks, so I started watching tutorials and started to learn the program and that’s how I got started in production. 

What is your favourite piece of equipment or software to produce music with?

Honestly, I haven’t used a lot of hardware or many other production softwares apart from Ableton so far.  Ableton is my super core tool for making music with my handy controller ‘Ableton Push 2’ and I’ve recently been using the  ’Octatrack MKII’ performance sampler from Elektron – it’s my main brain kit for a DAWless set up with my other synthesisers and drum machines. Using this gear helps me to create happy accidents which usually doesn’t happen when using my computer to produce.
