INTERVIEW
1. How would you describe your sound?

“I think my sound bears my own distinctive character, which is hard to describe. It is all about groove and swing. Also I'm addicted to Hi-Hats. Principally I don't need more than reduced loops to try to build up a mesmerizing tension.”

2. How did you learn producing?

“In the end of the 90’s I got in touch with drum machines and stuff like that for the first time. The only thing I’ve understood was the principle of a sequencer. Everything else was all Greek to me. Later I tried first steps with propeller head software, Cubase and a Yamaha rm1-x but in the end I’ve been everything but a pioneer these days. In 2008 I’ve got to know Ableton live and found some lads who let me take a look over their shoulders patiently. From these days on I try to improve myself.”

3. What keeps you going?

“Well, that's pretty complex. After over 20 years of true love for electronic music it became so much more than just listening to some sounds. Over the years I’ve met very nice people which became close friends, while spending time with soulmates or even working with some is my spice of life. On the other hand I’m damn sure about never losing that childish joy of discovering a special tune or an inspiring artist - its magic!”

4. What makes you laugh?

“Sarcasm, good imitations and people who don't take themselves too serious.”

5. Dream collab?

“Bugge Wesseltoft or Sidsel Endresen.”

6. Next release?

“I did a few remixes lately. The next one should be for Paul Manns on Yoruba Grooves Hq and for Salva Stigler on Lowroom Recordings.”

7. You in 10 years?

“Hopefully a healthy ol'bastard dropping the coolest tunes!”

The art of music has touched the hearts of human beings around the planet for thousands of years. It's a universal language with the ability to express what can't be expressed through words or thought. It can induce strong emotions, alter our states of consciousness and let us experience reality in a different way. It can draw us into the present moment, where just the music exists - unfolding through time, moment by moment. When we let go and merge into the auditory sensations, it takes us on an inner journey. Using this not to escape, but to fully embrace reality as it is, music can help us release tensions and bring balance to our everyday life. 
Especially dance music allows us to unify with the flow of the music. When we express the energy it releases within us, by just giving ourselves to it and following the spontaneous and authentic movements of our bodies, we can experience a state of connection, peace and joy. Doing this collectively, synchronously moving to the same rhythm and sharing this special experience, we feel a connection that resonates within.

With DIT KLINGT JUT we want to express our love for music and manifest the meaning it can have for all of us. We do this by providing a thoughtfully curated space for artists and labels to share their music, organizing events & live-streams and serving as a platform to share ideas on music and the creative process.
