Your musical journey began in the neighbours garden! Were you interested in music before this, or did you initially want to follow another path?
Well, I have a musically family. My niece is the drummer for Daan, a popular band in Belgium and recently she started her own band Isolde et Les Bens. Next to this, Mátyás, my cousin, is also musically talented and he sang and made the lyrics for the Love At Breakfast song. But music was a common thing in our family, in fact it’s Isolde’s parents who gave me my first drum when I was 4 years old and learn to jam on it. When I turned 13 years, my backyard neighbour was producing and I went along to start drumming on his drumcomputer and from there on a love for electronic music and producing was formed. My old neighbour, Koen, contacted me a couple of weeks ago and we will produce again in the near future.
Tell us about your musical style with your releases.
The style can range from lounge music towards progressive all with a futuristic vision. We love to make music people will like now and in future. For example, Wavecatcher, is played by Armin van Buuren, Laurent Garnier, Danny Howells and lots of other worldstars around the globe, but this track keeps interesting people when they discover it now. That’s our vision in the whole producing process and also for the label and radioshow, El Futuro.
You're a bit of a one man band: producer, journalist, DJ, label manager.. what do you do to relax - if you do relax at all that is?
Josh: Not that much time to relax, and really don’t think it’s recommended to relax as dance music in general is a continuously evolving world. Nowadays, people are thinking that I have a new look but actually I didn’t had the time to go to the hairdresser yet.
