He has opened sets for Aly & Fila, Nucleya, Rubenderonde, Chris Shweizer, Fully Charged, Ministry Of Sound, Viktor Mora, Makasi, Debris, Mysique to name a few. Lately, he has started collaborating with Amrithesh AKA Drum Infection, a person who has mastered his craft in percussion. Having their forces combined, the local party people are getting a taste of unique digital sounds mashed with the analog ones.
1. When did your exciting journey start and when did you realize you have a talent for what you do?
We joined forces back in 2013 just for fun with a heart for electronic music after bypassing many roadblocks like the stereotypical genres of music in the local nightlife. We met through mutual friends and got together after discovering we share common interests, which then lead to a series of successful events and gigs around the city. It was until recently we had a chance to meet the lad with the drums and thought we would have a go collaborating our sounds. The verdict was satisfactory.
2. Who encourages you to venture into this field and who is your role model?
Major influences such as Eric Prydz, Carl Cox, Richie Hawtin Sven Vath, Deadmau5, and Daft Punk have influenced our desire to push the buttons and twist knobs.
3. In your opinion, what are the most common challenges in your field in general?
It would be the stereotypical music people are used to listening to nowadays. However, we are pleased to see the tides are changing and glad that we are steering into the right direction. Oman is an evolving market when it comes to the nightlife scenes and electronic music. Looking back, it has been quite a bumpy ride for us.
4. What do you normally do in your free time? What are your other passions in life?
Mostly brainstorming on future endeavors, ideas, and to eventually bag the tag of a producer. We are also passionate about traveling around the world, hiking & trekking, and touring music festivals in order to get inspired by the new sounds and techniques.
5. Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
Signed to a record label with a few tracks ready for release, play all around the world spread good vibes, and unite all the dance music lovers to a common ground. It is a long way to go but we remain ambitious in our journey.
