1-Dimitris: 2023 just started but it will be cool to let us know how was 2022 for your career. Let us know about achievements or goals achieved that you are proud of.
Aidream: Last year was quite good, I managed to play at a few events I also signed some tracks on interesting labels where I always wanted to release
2-Dimitris: Do you have already some concrete plans for 2023 and if you are allowed to announce them to our readers please tell us what you are preparing for us in the coming months regarding releases and performances in gigs/festivals.
Aidream: At the moment I have signed 2 tracks that will be released in the near future
3-Dimitris: It would be fantastic to talk about your track Confusion with Calvin O'Commor on Heavens Gate. Please tell us how this track came about and what was the idea behind it.
Aidream: The idea was as always Calvin to sent me some melodies I made the arrangement and final mixdown. Later he did Mastering that's it ;-) We just know our capabilities and we often collaborate
together.
4-Dimitris: How long it took you to produce it and can u describe the production process in simple steps?
Aidream: I got midi files with melodies so basically it's similar to making a remix, I can change everything freely Of course, everything is overwritten as different versions. Production time also varies depending on free time and inspiration.
5-Dimitris: Did you had any particular difficulties accomplishing that particular track or any specific production challenges.
Aidream: There were no problems The hardest part is always coming up with a title and finding the right label ;-)
6- Dimitris: Which music composition software or hardware you prefer and why? What is your opinion of the latest movement to produce music with more analogue equipment and with less or without any digital software?
Aidream: I work digitally, unfortunately I don't have analog devices. I like their sound but unfortunately I have to get around with the taste.
7-Dimitris: Do you prefer instrumental dance tracks or you adore vocals? Please explain to us your position and if in your latest production you have vocals tell us how did you choose the specific singer and if it was great to work with her/him?
Aidream: My productions are instrumental. Of course I like songs with vocals though I'm very picky about it. I've already made some steps to finally record a track with vocals
8-Dimitris: If you really like to produce vocal tracks which vocalist/singer or lyricist on electronic dance music you aspire to work with?
Aidream: I don't attach myself to names, besides that, I'm considering myself to be at the beginning of my career so I can not be picky.
9-Dimitris: Do you believe that artwork on your latest track is good and do you believe that artwork can attract listeners or record buyers? Can you mention the best artwork of a track ever released?

12-Dimitris: Do you have your own radio show/podcast/twitch stream or Vlog(video blog)? If yes please give us a comment about it and how long it take you to prepare for it and if you are always excited to produce it?
