Follow him:
PM: Hi there. Let’s start from the basics for
anyone who do not know you: Who you are
and where are you from?
MS: Hello, my name is Kostas Denegris. I
have a project called Mr. Suspect, from 2011. I’m
from Athens, Greece and now I live in the UK.
PM: Tell us about yourself and how you
started with prog/psytrance?
MS: I started to discover music at the age of 5,
when I started to play the piano and soon after
the guitar for 9 years. The psychedelic virus got
me around 1999. At first, I had two other projects
at other kinds of Trance Music, where I released
many tracks at labels such as Discobole, Turbo
Trance, Shivlink, Mechanic records. After these
two projects, I went to university to study Music
Technology & Sound Engineering for four years,
where, finally at 2011 I started my third and my
gem project “Mr. Suspect”.
PM: Your album ‘Archetype’ was reached
high on charts on March of 2014 how this
made you feel?
MS: Well It’s hard for me to describe it in words,
but I felt really honored and thrilled to find my
project on charts, even though I didn’t expect to
be so high on charts, amongst great artists like
Electric Universe, Talamasca, Aerospace, Burn In
Noise. It’s all about good vibes!
PM: Is there any festival that you would like
to play?
MS: Well, until now I’ve played only on venues
and clubs and not in many Festivals. My first gig
in a festival with this project was this summer in
Greece at Plur Festival, from which I have great
memories and I will always remember. As far
as the festivals I dream myself playing at Boom,
Ozora , Universo Parallelo and probably many
more which I’m forgetting right now.
PM: Which is your favorite Daw, Vst’s and
what’s the gear you are using inside your
studio?
MS: Well the main program that I make music
with now, is Logic X and favorite vst’s are Spire,
Massive and Omnisphere. My gear is: Dynaudio Monitors, Motu Ultralite Mk3 Hybrid,
Dangerous D-box, UAD Satellite Quad, Slate
digital Vbc&Vcc Plugins, Oxygen 61 Midi Keyboard, One beast MacBook pro, one old but
gold iMac and my recently added acoustic
treatment by Vicoustics.
PM: Finally what you are up to these days?
MS: I have already made a remix to Ovnimoon - Quiet My Mind, one new track called
No More and a collaboration with Reverse
called “Partners in crime”. The last two are
about to be released on Yellow Sunshine Explosion records. I’ve got some new
tracks in progress and also preparing a new
EP. I’m so excited and I can’t wait to share it
with all of you. Stay tuned!!
