An interview, it looks like something from the 90s. Reading was cool and well… most people could do it.
We have this (short) interview for people who can draw their attention to something for longer than 5 seconds. In case you can’t focus your attention on text for so long we have the following message: Scroll on facebook for 5 years, have fun and realize that your time was spent usefully! (sarcasm, you gotta love it)
1. How has Covid affected your routine?
Covid hit like a bomb, but that’s for any artist (and of course for all the people). I have become used to the “suddenly not being able to play anymore” feeling, but on the other hand there is also a positive side because there is more time to work on music, and I do use that time… to work on Music.
2. Who or what is a source of inspiration for you?
My biggest source of inspiration is undoubtedly “Angerfist” & “Tha Playah” their style and productions are in my eyes the top of the scene and I also get a lot of inspiration from films & series, and of course from other styles of music.
3. How much influence does music have on your life?
My life consists of working, girlfriend, eating (laughs) and making music, I spend almost every day in the studio.
4. What is / was your ultimate high?
Undoubtedly my remix for “Angerfist” and the remix I made for “Tha Playah”. My heart and soul are in these songs. Also starting my own record label, New World Order Records, is a dream come true.
5. What do you have in store for the coming months in the field of music?
Well, the coming soon part is: 3 songs with “Bass” from “Danger Hardcore Team”, a remix of my “Studio Gangstaz” with “Para Italia”, a Solo Ep and of alot more, but I can’t tell you everything.
6. How much influence does your environment have on your taste?
It often happens that I’m watching a film or series and think “I can work with that vocal”, but that’s something that can happen with any random sound.
7. What is perfection for you?
Perfection for me is: working on a song for 8 months, because I am simply not easily satisfied and I always try to raise the bar a litte bit higher.
8. Suppose you were obliged to forbid something, what would that be?
Coronavirus, just ban it!
9. To apply what we call “divide and conquer”: Android or Apple?
Android rules!
10. Describe the Hardcore scene in the year 2020. And what would you change to that year with today’s information?
2020 is a year to forget, no events is a low point for that year. If I could change it all discos would be open again, and events would continue as usual!
11. Suppose you had an unlimited budget, what would you do?
Then (in better times) I would organize a big event, everything included, build a club 20 meters underground, and all that without a noise limit!
12. What did you think of the 90’s “gabber” concept?
I grew up with early hardcore and later millennium (we called it hardcore back then), my very first party was a dance / hardcore event in Flanders Expo in 98 when Rotterdam Terror Corps and Danger Hardcore Team performed there, I brainwashed to gabber and that’s what I am till this day (inside).
