Interview with WNDRLST:
Virtual Underground: How have you discovered Techno music?
WNDRLST: I think I'm going to give a very common answer and say that one of my friends dragged me into it about 3 years ago (and still super glad he did today). I've always been interested in Electronic music but eventually got convinced to attend a techno festival in summer 2015 and pretty much fell in love with it since then. It wasn’t a hard techno party but it didn’t take me long to attend the more darker scene too which definitely is the scene I love the most. I’ve been DJ’ing and producing as a hobby for roughly 10 years now (on and off) and eventually started messing around creating my first techno loops. After 2 years of experimenting trying to create my own sounds I finally found the confidence to release tracks and sets as I am a perfectionist kind of guy and wish to show nothing less than the best I can possibly deliver.
VU: What motivates you to do your music?
WNDRLST: The strive to learn to create new sounds every time I open my producing software. I’ve definitely got artists that inspire me and as much as I love their sound I do want to develop my own style and have people recognise it eventually and sort of ‘claim’ my own role in the scene. As of currently I am definitely more confident with producing than I am with DJ’ing so I suppose the ultimate motivation at this point would be to have one of my tracks played by a big artist on some massive event/gig.
VU Any artists that inspire your work?
WNDRLST: Rebekah, Paula Temple, Dax J, Ansome, Perc, Ghost in the Machine - there are too many to list here, as long as its dark and industrial I’ll find bits and pieces in their tracks that draw my attention.
VU: How do you find your tracks?
WNDRLST: Some of my friends DJ/Produce, we share tracks quite often and if not that, I’d plan in an evening to browse Soundcloud and usually end up with a good tracklist by the end of the evening.
VU: What software/hardware do you use?
WNDRLST: Currently FL Studio 20 - picking up my first hardware piece soon, so after that a mixture of Ableton Live/FL Studio.
VU: Anything to add?
WNDRLST:Firstly, thanks for the opportunity and a thank you to whoever have listened to the mix - greatly appreciated. I’ve also just released my first EP named “Path of Destruction” including 4 dark techno tracks which you’ll be able to find on my Soundcloud profile. Currently no gigs planned although I am attending a couple of competitions which could potentially lead to claiming a spot in a line-up somewhere, therefore I would like to ask for any of you to give me a follow or drop me some feedback in general - constantly willing to improve.
Thanks WNDRLST for this amazing set!
