INTERVIEW

Why did you choose to become an artist?
"I never really choose it. I just love making music. I could sit seven days a week in my studio making music, that's just how everything went."

What do you do to get into a creative state?
"I try to get up early. Having enough sleep and a fresh mind is super important for me to be creative. And knowing my equipment and my tools is essential to get into a creative state. I don’t want to be distracted by searching for any functions or checking signal paths during the creative process, this would kill my creativity and workflow. I always have a certain time window where I’m most creative and when I can handle my equipment without thinking (e.g. shorcuts etc.) I can fully focus on the music. When the window gets closed I can take care about the technical stuff, like getting deeper into plugins, reading manuals or mixing (which I also really enjoy doing). I also noticed that I’m most creative when I can twist real knobs and faders instead of sitting in front of a computer with a mouse. Thats why I want to use more hardware in the future."  

Where do you get your inspiration from?
"Usually i get inspired by just jamming around with my keyboard, trying out new synths and sounds or just making a groove that leads me further. And of course I also get inspired by a lot of great musicians and their sounds, not only four to the floor."

What do you love most about being an artist?
"To be independent."

What do you want to express with your music?
"It is really important for me to make music not only „functional“ for the dancefloor. I also have an artistic demand to create emotions and catch the listener."

You in 11 years?
"Hopefully making a living as an artist, making music and playing live."

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.
