Congratulations on your new release \”Drop!\” on CHLORE! Can you tell us about the inspiration behind this track and what you hope listeners will take away from it?

Hey, thank you so much! It\’s all about the Drop 🙂 The drop is the most important part of all the tracks in electronic music. This song will remind us about it.

You’ve been described as one of the most exciting talents in the European techno scene. How did you first get into techno, and what drew you to this genre specifically?

I have been listening to electronic music since I was a teenager. My first contact with the real Techno was at the Polish edition of Mayday in Katowice. It\’s a legendary event, and there for the first time in my life, I was able to listen to pure Techno, Schranz, and all the harder genres.

Your career began in the early 2000s in the underground clubs of 4. Poland’s Silesia region. How did this environment shape your musical style and approach as a DJ?

In the period 2010-2012, we had many great clubs in southern Poland. Almost every weekend you were able to listen to the best worlds Artists. After the Mayday, I was surrounded by Hard Techno and Schranz, which were very popular in our country. This kind of Techno was my first love, and it is still in the first place for me.

Moving from Poland to Germany was a significant step in your career. What motivated you to make this move, and how has it impacted your music and career trajectory?

Yes, it was a big step, but also not an easy one. I had the opportunity to play at some major clubs and events in Poland, but to grow I was forced to make this step. Germany was and still is well known as \”Technoland\” so it was just one choice. After a few years I can only say, that it was one of the best moves in my life. It helped me a lot as a DJ and Music Producer. I met wonderful people, they helped me to push forward my career. I\’m very grateful for the time I spent in Germany.

As a female artist in the techno scene, have you faced any unique challenges or experiences, and how have you navigated them?

The worst part of being a female DJ is endless hate on social media. Many older DJs (mostly sofa DJs) still can\’t accept, that a girl can mix and that she is doing that better than he does. As a young DJ, it was not so easy to read those comments or messages, but now they are bringing only a smile to my face. I see, that many female DJs are still fighting with that problem, which is very sad.

Techno is known for its driving rhythms and deep, immersive soundscapes. How do you ensure your music stands out in such a dynamic and competitive genre?

I\’m checking the trends, trying to deliver to people what they want at the moment. But I\’m still true to my motto \”straight and forward Techno\”. It\’s my credo and I\’ll never forget about it.

How do you stay motivated and inspired to continuously produce new music and perform at such a high level?

I still have some goals to achieve. But the most important are my fans. When I see them dancing and smiling to my music… It\’s the best motivation for me to do what I do, and try to do it better.

8When you’re not in the studio or performing, what are some of your favorite ways to relax and recharge?

I\’m a nature freak, and I love to spend my free time outside. I love to ride on a bicycle or do some mountain trails. It\’s a form of meditation for me. It\’s the best way to recharge my batteries after a heavy weekend.

The techno scene has evolved significantly over the years. How do you see the future of techno, and where do you see your place within it?

That\’s true, Techno speeded up and started to become mainstream music, which is good in my opinion. It is great to see, how the young generation gets infected by the Techno sound. It\’s a prime time for this music, and we all need to keep the fire alive. I\’ll do my best to stay on the top for the next few years! I don\’t have enough.

With a busy schedule of performances and studio work, how do you maintain a work-life balance, and what strategies do you use to manage your time effectively?

Work-life balance… I don\’t like this term. For me my \”work\” is my life, it\’s my passion, it\’s my everything. After every weekend I don\’t have enough, I want more. \”If you are doing what you love, you will never spend a second in a work.\” This sentence describes perfectly the place, where I\’m now.

Lastly, what message would you like to send to your fans with your new release \”Drop!\” and your future work?

I hope you will like my new Track, and you will enjoy \”Drop!\” as I do. Be ready for more music from me. Stay tuned! 🙂
