LAB is a portuguese producer that takes dark music into the realm of sci-fi and experimentalism. He is the latest addition to our exciting Boom Radio podcast series!
Who are you and when did you start making music?
I started producing back in 1998, first in genres like house, lounge and breakbeat, and only a few years after in 2004 i started with Psytrance.
How do you describe the LAB sound?
LAB sound is atmospheric , hypnotic and strong , with some glimpses of light . Every track has a different story, that is something mandatory in the production !
What are your main influences to produce your music?
I am influenced by many things, but i would say sci-fi movies and roleplaying games have great impact on my music. Of course i am also influenced by many artists i like, some of them are not Psytrance but they still influence how the production goes.
What is your favorite equipment to create the LAB sound?
The favorite equipment would definitely be the Nord-Modular, a monster machine that can achieve amazing and infinite results, although i use many more, like Korg Ms-2000r, Roland Sonic Cell, Yamaha TG-33 and every piece of hardware i can put my hands on!!
What is your dream in life?
My dream in life… is to live only for the music. Unfortunately that is not possible yet, but i’m a positive person and i believe i’ll get there someday, i’ll never stop trying!
Playing one day at Boom Festival is of course a part of this dream, and it could definitely help to achieve the ultimate goal.
