element . We went through the tedious process of going back and forth to fix the little snags that were not sounding perfect .
Can you tell us about the significance of the track ’ s title , ‘ Dua ’, and the emotions or stories it conveys through its music ?
The track is a story about the despair that the lover goes through . If you listen closely , you can faintly hear her ending her phrase with the word ‘ Dua ’. It has a heartbroken mood and the electronic arrangement that follows after amplifies her melancholic feelings with intensity .
You ’ ve mentioned that your core music style is fusion and experimental . How important is it for you as artists to keep pushing the boundaries and exploring new musical territories ?
We feel we will get bored as artists quite soon if we do not keep stepping outside our comfort zones . In our opinion , if an artist has the ability to pleasantly surprise his / her listeners with a new style of music , the artist will be able to stay motivated to produce a lot of great music for years to come . Musical territories are diminishing at a very fast pace in today ’ s world . You can hear musical fusions and collaborations you would ’ ve never imagined 10 years ago .
Talk to us about your production set up and the equipment you use .
We use Adam A7V monitors with the Adam T10s Subwoofer together with the Apogee Symphony Desktop to hear all the frequencies we were missing out on earlier . We were quite old school earlier , sticking to older model equipment for years but it is very important to keep investing in new studio equipment from time to time in order to keep up with the evolving music scenario .
What can fans expect from Tech Panda x Kenzani in the future ?
Are there more surprises or genre explorations on the horizon ? Oh definitely ! A lot more surprises ( pleasant for you hopefully !) are on the way before this year ends . We shouldn ’ t say anymore but the next few weeks will see new music !
You ’ re set to perform at DGTL India alongside renowned techno artists . How does it feel to be part of such a lineup , and what can attendees anticipate from your live performance ?
We are ecstatic to be playing DGTL India this year alongside a stunning international lineup . Our set at DGTL will be totally different from what anyone can expect from Tech Panda & Kenzani . The set we are curating for DGTL will showcase our high-octane side . In fact a lot of unreleased dynamic tracks will be dropped for the first time .
In the ever-evolving electronic music scene , what advice would you give to emerging producers and artists looking to find their unique sound and make an impact ?
Stick to your gut-feeling when making music . Otherwise the game will be a short one . There is a lot of noise when you look around but you have to divert your attention to your creations . A lot of producers today have lost their way due to the lack of discipline and going with the flow . We remember the initial tracks didn ’ t work as we hoped they would . Nonetheless , we took multiple steps forward instead of backing up and in time it showed the result . A little determination can go a long way .
