“I had the honor to meet a few artists in person that I like and adore and had some chats with them about their music and life. To hear and mostly to feel their passion for the music on a personal level is really something I never thought would happen. I follow these artists wherever I can and always show my appreciation and loyalty to them. I always get rewarded with the biggest smile on their face and respect. One even told me I was being used as a measurement for the set; if I don’t smile and dance to the fullest, the set has failed for sure!
I love the darker, rougher and underground industrial techno. For a lot of people, it sounds angry, hard or hostile, but to me it’s a reflection of I see the world, how I live my life and have lived my life. It gives me energy to go on, to continue things, it makes me happy. Gives me hope. It’s like the underground industrial and dark techno understands me, with every mood I have.
Not everybody understands that kind of techno, just like not everybody understands me. I’m different, just like the underground techno. But the power and energy it gives me, I certainly give back to others surrounding me. I (can) make other people happy and energetic too, motivate them. Make them feel that there’s someone out there that understands them too with every mood they have. And sometimes that’s all you need to go (further) on and remain with a positive vibe.
It doesn’t matter if you are alone, you are always together with people who share your point of interest for art and music without words. Just one look, one smile and you totally understand each other in that particular moment”
