▌I What’s your history with music in general and DJ-ing especially?
I come from a family where classical music was always played and listened to, and I played piano & harp during my childhood. I later discovered electronic music, then downtempo music from Germany, and immediately loved it. I started DJing in Berlin in the summer 2022 and it's been an incredible musical adventure since, which I can't wait to continue.

▌II How would you describe your style?
I like to mix different genres of downtempo & mid-tempo in my DJ-sets, driven by groovy bass lines and melodic moments, and I try my best to share a story with the people and take the public on a musical trip.

▌III Which artist influenced you a lot?
There are 2 electronic music artists who have had a particular impact on me, long before I started djing. The french producer Thylacine and the Leipzig-based band Wide Awake. There's often a track from one or the other in my DJ sets. For this United we Rise podcast, the closing track is one of my favourites by Thylacine: Memories from his album Transsiberian.

▌I How did you prepare this mix and what was your main inspiration?
Soooo...Getting ready for a set is like laying out a roadmap, sorting through 100-150 tracks a couple of days beforehand. But when I hit the stage and feel the crowd's energy, that's when the real fun starts. I dive into their vibe, see what they're feeling, and let it steer the ship. It's all about being in the moment, reading the room, and crafting a unique experience together. So I pick each track after another based on that. There's something special about that live connection—it's where the magic happens.

▌II How does "Babylon" reflect your musical journey thus far?
"Babylon" is more than just a track—it's a reflection of my personal and artistic evolution. It draws inspiration from the intricate tapestry of human emotions and experiences that shape us. Each note is a snapshot of where I am in my musical journey, capturing the essence of growth, exploration, and self-discovery. Through "Babylon," I aim to invite listeners into this journey, to resonate with the highs and lows, the twists and turns, and ultimately find solace in the shared human experience.

▌III "Babylon" seems to blend various genres seamlessly. How do you maintain this eclectic style while still staying true to your artistic vision?
The eclectic blend of genres within "Babylon" is a reflection of my belief in the fluidity of music and the power of genre-bending experimentation. While my sound is often associated with melodic techno and indie dance, I'm not one to be confined by labels or boundaries. Instead, I draw inspiration from a diverse array of musical influences, spanning across electronic, world, ambient, and experimental genres.This approach allows me to infuse each track with a unique flavor and texture, ensuring that every listening experience is fresh and exciting. Whether it's the pulsating rhythms of techno, the infectious melodies of indie dance, or the ethereal atmospheres of ambient music, I aim to create music that resonates with listeners on a deep and emotional level.
