Can you tell us the story behind your Submerge collaboration? How did you guys prepare for this track? 

BLR and Truetone started the idea for this track using some of my samples that we had already used in our previous collaboration. I suggested they work together on this one, and that’s how ‘Submerge’ was born.

How did your relationship with Drumcode begin, and what has it been like collaborating with such an iconic label?

I’ve been talking with Adam for about 10 years, always trying to release on DC, but I never had the right sound. I was always more aligned with Truesoul. But this time, we finally found the perfect track. Never give up!

Drumcode has a distinct reputation for pushing boundaries in techno. How has working with them influenced your style or approach to music?

Indeed, I needed to incorporate elements into my sound that I don’t usually use in my productions. In fact, BLR was the perfect choice to help evolve the track. He comes from a trance music background, and I believe peak-time techno has been heavily influenced by classic trance sounds.

How do you balance experimenting with new sounds while maintaining your signature style?

I’m always trying to do my best to maintain my signature sound by incorporating my samples that define me, especially when collaborating with someone.

How do you stay inspired and push through creative blocks during the production process?

Honestly, it’s getting harder and harder. I’m always trying to find the perfect sample that nobody has used before, but with so much music being released every week, you have to be both creative and quick to release your track—because someone else might release something similar before you.

What do you have planned for 2025?

I have a lot of tracks ready, but we haven’t found the right home for them yet. I do have one track coming out on Expert Only, which will set the direction for my future releases—something faster that combines tech house, techno, and urban vibes 🙂

You can stream Submerge on all streaming platforms!
