How has summer 2025 been for you? What has stood out?
Summer 2025 has been really nice. I’ve been working, traveling, and also taking some time for myself. It felt balanced,a mix of inspiration, rest, and new ideas for what’s coming next.
How do you craft a DJ set?
I always start with a feeling, not a plan. I like to read the crowd and build the journey live. Sometimes I know one or two tracks I want to play or end with, but most of the time it’s about following the vibe in the moment.
I love when the mix takes its own direction.
And what about your production style?
What DJs did you see in your early clubbing years that had the most impact on you?
I’ve been inspired by many DJs over the years, but mostly by those who play with emotion and create a real atmosphere. I love when a set feels natural and unexpected when you can feel the DJ’s personality through the music!
Tell us about your mix the aim you had with it, and what you wanted it to say.
The mix is full of melodies and emotions. I wanted it to be energetic but also emotional, something that makes people feel and move at the same time. It’s about creating a vibe that’s immersive, fun, and full of feeling!
What gear did you use? Is that important to you?
Yes is important for me!
I use Pioneer CDJs and a DJM mixer!
What are you working on for the rest of the year?
I’m finishing new music and ges I just want to keep growing, experimenting, and sharing new sounds with people!
