    "I Feel More Musician Than Producer" ft. AN5 | Episode 3

    In this episode of The Human Behind The Artist, Larissa sits down with Ángel, the DJ and producer behind An5, at Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona, the city he moved to when he decided to go all in on music. He grew up in Vigo, in Galicia, and draws his tracks from the places and figures of his childhood there: the goblins of Galician folklore, the Celtic culture, and the nature that surrounded him. He calls himself more a musician than a producer, someone who finds melodies by ear rather than by theory. But that instinct meets resistance: labels want music that works, and some of his own tracks never leave the studio because he doesn't think they're ready. We talk about that tension, about why he creates spaces like Savia Sonora and Andanzas, where other artists can be completely free and what matters most to him: making music he actually feels. — Subscribe to the series and leave a review – on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 🎙️ Connect with me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@larissa.aries

    "I Would Never Go Back" ft. Anna Viresha | Episode 2

    In the second episode of The Human Behind The Artist, Larissa sits down with Anna Viresha – DJ, producer and author from Sweden – at Marina Botafoch in Ibiza, with the old town across the water. From a hair studio and a raw food bar to writing a book and finally stepping behind the decks at 46, Anna traces the path that took her from the life she thought she wanted to the one she's living now. We talk about trusting the universe, about telling intuition apart from other people's expectations, about starting over later in life, being a woman in the music industry, and the message she wants people to leave the dancefloor with: "be the true you." — Subscribe to the series and leave a review – on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 🎙️ Connect with me: ⁠⁠⁠⁠@larissa.aries

    "I'm an Artist Too" ft. JRynecki | Episode 1

    In the very first episode of The Human Behind The Artist, Larissa sits down with John Rynecki – aka JRynecki – DJ, producer and event host from Chicago, at Belmont Harbor with the skyline in view. From growing up between Panama, Puerto Rico and Germany to discovering electronic music in Europe, John traces the path that led him to finally call himself an artist. We talk about finding your own sound, the harsh inner voice behind the music, why vulnerability is a strength, and the idea that "everyone is an artist." — Subscribe to the series and leave a review – on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Youtube, ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. 🎙️ Connect with me: ⁠⁠⁠@larissa.aries
