How Did you get into music production?

When I was 17, I discovered software, like reason and FL studio. My very first track was ready around that time. It was called “Summer in Obscurity”. I would like to add it to that I never learned music theory. I just simply, felt what’s good and what’s wrong. Until 2008 I created only hard trance, I was just unable to fit in into that scene. I think it’s a dead style now anyway; at least in my country. So in 2008 I created my very first electro house music “Cocaine Junkie” and two other tracks in September of 2008 “Apophis” and “Waiting for You”. Those two songs were my very first release by a label. So my music career really started in September 2008

Creative Influences:

Old hard trance/euro trance artists like CJ Stone, S.H.O.K.K.

Some progressive house/minimal-tech artists have had an effect on me.

Software/Hardware of Choice:

Hardware: Korg Nano Key, Korg Nano Kontrol and an old Roland Tr-909

Software: What I currently use it's FL Strudio 7 and my old reason 3 with some VSTs

Awards/Grants/Achievements:

I had a 3 hour long show in a local radio in my town and won the Pro Juice Remix Comp.

I have also released music through beatport.

Tell us about a piece of work you are particularly proud of and why?

I’m now working with my friend who lives in Lebanon, we used to work together on many songs. He has amazing ideas, and I’m very proud of him and the remixes that I’ve made for him.
