- Can you share the inspiration behind your upcoming release “Dark Blue” and how the collaboration with Asi Vidal came about?
The inspiration for ‘Dark Blue’ comes from our love for electronic dance music and its evolution over time. I got in touch with Asi by sending him a demo of the song. We started working together on the idea and structure of the song from there.
- What unique elements or influences does “Dark Blue” bring to your discography, and how does it stand out from your previous releases?
I think the vocals in this song are the element that is very different from all my other songs. I still need to figure out what makes this vocal fit but it sounds so good and gives a unique vibe to the whole song.
- How did the creative process unfold during the collaboration with Asi Vidal?
The creative process of the song started with me coming up with the main idea and structure and evolved a lot from Asi’s ability to create flow in music. When you write dance music you have to make the music flow otherwise it will be challenging for people on the dance floor to connect to the song or start dancing.
- Were there specific roles each of you played in the production of the track? Were there any challenges you encountered while working on “Dark Blue,” and how did you overcome them?
In the production of ‘Dark Blue’ as in the other songs we wrote together, there were never clear roles. We just like to kick things off with an idea and build from there. Being DJs, we’ve got a good understanding of how to approach dance music production, creating a kind of common ground that helps us when we’re working together on a track.
- Can you give us a sneak peek into the sound and mood of “Dark Blue”? What can listeners expect from this upcoming track?
The song ‘Dark Blue’ is a combination of electro-house and techno. The old and familiar sound of electro house received an addition of an innovative and modern sound that you hear a lot in techno music today. In addition to that, we also made sure to incorporate the characteristic features of pop music, which are the simplicity and rhythms that we cherish and love.
- In what ways do you believe the collaboration with Asi Vidal enhanced or influenced the outcome of the track compared to working on solo projects?
It’s not a secret that Asi helped me a lot in my development as an artist. The song received a significant improvement in its flow and in its ability to convey the message clearly with his contribution.
- Are there any specific themes or messages conveyed through “Dark Blue,” and how important is storytelling through music for you as an artist?
The message we tried to convey in the song ‘Dark Blue’ is to show the enormous dynamics in everything in life and the situations we encounter.
- As both a DJ and music producer, how do you balance your creative vision with the expectations of your audience when working on a collaboration like “Dark Blue”?
Telling a story through music has always been something I wanted to do. Sometimes, it takes me a while to understand what the story or message is, and I don’t always know from the beginning what the song is about. I constantly write music, and only after I have many songs, do I start to choose which ones will fit my vision as a DJ and music producer.
- How has your musical journey and past experiences shaped the direction of “Dark Blue,” and do you see any significant evolution in your style with this release?
I like the song ‘Dark Blue’ because it’s got elements and techniques I truly dig. It took me a while to figure out how they work, but in this song, I can see how much I’ve improved as an artist
- Lastly, what are your hopes and aspirations for “Dark Blue”? How do you envision it resonating with your fans and the broader EDM community?
I hope that people who listen to this song will enjoy it and that it will be of value to them.
