This month Psychedelic Mag Is questioning Egorythmia!
PM: Hi there Boban. Let’s start from the basics,
who you are and where are you from?
ER: Hi PM. I’m a music producer from Macedonia,
small beautiful country from the south of the Balkans.
PM: How you started your journey in Psy-trance?
ER: First time I discovered Psy-trance was in the late
90’s in my hometown Skopje, where I visited some
of the underground parties from that period.I was
immediately hypnotised by the magical Goa Trance
music.
PM: How eventually you got involved with the
production of music?
ER: As I discovered the music I went a step further
and started discovering the way this music is produced. From there on, I started exploring and upgraded my knowledge. As years went by, my interest
grew and producing became my main preoccupation.
PM: It was a long ride till you come to the point
you are today?
ER: Yes. The ride was hard and demanded most of
my time. I am doing this 14 years till today, but from
2008 I am working on Egorythmia project.
PM: How you would describe your music style?
ER: My music style goes from deep dark technotrance to progressive psy-trance. But I also produce
other kinds of music like breaks, downtempo and
techno.
ER: Alone time with myself.
PM: Let’s talk about the production, what
DAW you use today?
ER: Mostly I use software DAW like Cubase.
PM: The eternal question, hardware or software?
ER: These days the VST’s are more and more
used because the quality is advancing everyday.
PM: Any specific favourite hardware and/or
software this days?
ER: My favourite VST’s are Native Instruments,
Sylenth and all of the spectrasonic collection. For
my live sets I also use Native Instruments controllers.
PM: You have any advice to give to the “young
guns” out there trying to produce their own
beats?
ER: Fall in love with your beat and give your new
lover all the time and attention it needs. Never
give up and you will be rewarded.
PM: What means to you to be member of IONO
family?
BOOKING: [email protected]
PM: How do you see our scene as of today?
ER: The fluid between me and IONO came naturally,
because my music style fits perfectly with the music style that IONO releases. We are together for 8
years. Also I must say that Matthias and I became
really good friends and our support is mutual.
ER: I think the scene is becoming way too commercial, but on the other hand it never was bigger. Never imagined that it will grow this much.
However I enjoy this period like never before, because we finally have the opportunity to perform
in front of so many people all around the world.
PM: Is there anything specific you draw inspiration from?
PM: Any new releases coming out of cooking?
ER: Of
course. At the moment I’m
working on
two singles which are going
to be released next month. I’m also working on
my third compilation for IONO music. But most
important, my debut album is in progress and I
hope to release it till the end of the year. Beside
all this, I’m working on my new project Time Travellers with E-Clip and soon we will have our first
release.
PM: What is your future plans?
ER: I plan to focus more on my album. Also continue travelling, performing, producing. You
know, the never ending story. I want to mention
that recently I started working with
