An interview, it looks like something from the 90s. Reading was cool and well… most people could do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have this (short) interview for people who can draw their attention to something for longer than 5 seconds. In case you can’t focus your attention on text for so long we have the following message: Scroll on facebook for 5 years, have fun and realize that your time was spent usefully! (sarcasm, you gotta love it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. How has Covid affected your routine?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Covid hit like a bomb, but that’s for any artist (and of course for all the people). I have become used to the \u201csuddenly not being able to play anymore\u201d feeling, but on the other hand there is also a positive side because there is more time to work on music, and I do use that time\u2026 to work on Music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Who or what is a source of inspiration for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My biggest source of inspiration is undoubtedly \u201cAngerfist\u201d & \u201cTha Playah\u201d their style and productions are in my eyes the top of the scene and I also get a lot of inspiration from films & series, and of course from other styles of music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. How much influence does music have on your life?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My life consists of working, girlfriend, eating (laughs) and making music, I spend almost every day in the studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. What is \/ was your ultimate high?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Undoubtedly my remix for \u201cAngerfist\u201d and the remix I made for \u201cTha Playah\u201d. My heart and soul are in these songs. Also starting my own record label, New World Order Records, is a dream come true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. What do you have in store for the coming months in the field of music?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, the coming soon part is: 3 songs with “Bass” from “Danger Hardcore Team”, a remix of my “Studio Gangstaz” with “Para Italia”, a Solo Ep and of alot more, but I can\u2019t tell you everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. How much influence does your environment have on your taste?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It often happens that I\u2019m watching a film or series and think “I can work with that vocal”, but that\u2019s something that can happen with any random sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. What is perfection for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perfection for me is: working on a song for 8 months, because I am simply not easily satisfied and I always try to raise the bar a litte bit higher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Suppose you were obliged to forbid something, what would that be?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coronavirus, just ban it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. To apply what we call \u201cdivide and conquer\u201d: Android or Apple?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Android rules!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. Describe the Hardcore scene in the year 2020. And what would you change to that year with today’s information?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 is a year to forget, no events is a low point for that year. If I could change it all discos would be open again, and events would continue as usual!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Suppose you had an unlimited budget, what would you do?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then (in better times) I would organize a big event, everything included, build a club 20 meters underground, and all that without a noise limit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. What did you think of the 90’s \u201cgabber\u201d concept?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I grew up with early hardcore and later millennium (we called it hardcore back then), my very first party was a dance \/ hardcore event in Flanders Expo in 98 when Rotterdam Terror Corps and Danger Hardcore Team performed there, I brainwashed to gabber and that\u2019s what I am till this day (inside).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
