Listening to "Last Night" is an experience of warmth and nostalgia. There's an intimacy to the sound that feels as if the artist is whispering secrets of a time gone by directly to your soul. It's the musical embodiment of a cherished photograph or a letter from a loved one.

INTERVIEW
1. Background and Inspiration
- I actually started making trap beats when I was in college, but I felt that it was an oversaturated market. I switched to house music, but I do not know the main reason. I think it just kind of happened.
- I don’t think I have a specific artist who influences me. I listen to a lot of different genres of music. I listen to rap, metal, country, ambient, and others. To me, good music is good music doesn’t matter the genre. So my influence is probably any of them. - The essence of chill vibes to me is a slower tempo, reverb, and a hypnotic beat.
2. Production and creativity
- I usually start with a sample, usually a vocal sample, or one I have created, then I go from there with the key of the song.
- I don’t specifically have rituals, but what i figured out is being consistent and disciplined to keep practicing is what works best. I go on walks frequently, I believe those are what keep me creative.
- Some samples I find through splice, tik tok, instagram, or remixing other songs. It just happens naturally.
- Some software I use is: Fl Studio, Serum, Splice, and that’s about it. I would love others, but music production is not cheap.
3. Technical Aspects
- I don’t think adding groove gets rid of the chill vibe in house music. The groove is what makes house music. So I wouldn’t sacrifice the groove.
- I prefer digital equipment because it’s all I have, but I have worked with analog equipment before.
- I approach sound design randomly. Sometimes I use a preset, sometimes I use samples, and sometimes I use my own sound production. Whatever I think fits the song the best.
4. Collaborations & Industry
- I’ve been listening to a lot of Mochakk lately so that is someone who I would like to collaborate with. Then some of the OG’s like chris lake, fisher, john summit, and some of those.
- I feel a lot of old school vibes are coming back to chill house and a lot of funk elements as of recently.
- I feel the only EDM hits that go viral are usually pop remixes or pop influenced songs. Not personally my type of vibe.
5. Live Shows & Performances
- The crowd is more important to a live show, if your set isn’t recorded, so it depends on the crowd that influences the atmosphere
- Considering I’ve only had one live performance, I’d say that is the most memorable - It’s the crowd. Watching the crowd is the best way to know what tracks to play and where to go with your next song.
6. Personal & Miscellaneous
- I do other things than music. I paint, draw, graphic design, and play a couple of instruments. It gives me a break from producing.
- It depends what mood I’m in. Not every track I make is going to be a chilled laid back track
- Being disciplined and consistent is the best way to get better at any craft, not just producing music.
7. Listening Recommendations
- As of recently it would be: Respirando by Mochakk (vip mix), Be Real by Kolter, and Untitled A - Sam Reshape by S.O.N
- Djibouti, Lemtom, and Me of course
