‘Elements Of Africa’ distills the continent’s soul into nine evocative Afro-electronic tracks inspired by the core values of African identity.

Globally celebrated South African DJ and producer THEMBA today proudly unveiled his highly anticipated second studio album, ‘Elements Of Africa’, out now on Armada Music. A deeply personal body of work that pays tribute to his home continent, ‘Elements Of Africa’ sees THEMBA venture into a broader Afro-electronic sound—blending intricate arrangements, diverse instrumentation, and cross-cultural vocal textures.




Rooted in his upbringing on the outskirts of Johannesburg, and crafted primarily in South Africa with further development while touring the globe, ‘Elements Of Africa’ distills the soul of a continent into nine meticulously composed tracks. Each is a personal interpretation by THEMBA of a core facet of African identity—celebrating the human spirit, humility and strength, the power of love, teamwork, wisdom, hope and faith, creativity, God’s presence, and respect.

“The concept of ‘elements’ is something I’ve deeply connected with throughout the making of this album,” says THEMBA. “Each track is linked to a value or emotion that to me makes up the African spirit. For me, those “elements” can be translated into rhythms, tones, and textures that best reflect that element—so I let that guide the creative process. Africa is not just a place—it’s a feeling, a rhythm, and above all, a way of being.”

Sonically, ‘Elements Of Africa’ spans several diverse layers of the Afro-electronic spectrum—from melodic, piano-led tracks such as ‘Akasha’ (feat. Double Touch) and ‘Vuthelani’ with Benchek (feat. Bukeka), to powerful dancefloor anthems such as ‘Cantando’ (feat. Nicinha) and ‘Kumbuka’ (with IDQ) that weave in vocal storytelling in multiple South African languages—including Zulu and Xhosa. Rich in collaboration, the album sees THEMBA work alongside vocalists, producers, and instrumentalists from across the African continent and beyond.
THEMBA adds: "This album is filled with voices that bring spiritual depth, poetry, and ancestral resonance. Some are close collaborators; others are artists I’ve long admired. Each brought their own essence to the music. In creating it, I wanted to explore more corners of Afro-electronic, pushing into melodic and experimental spaces.”




‘Elements Of Africa’ Tracklist:
THEMBA feat. Double Touch – Akasha
THEMBA x LEZ – Spine
THEMBA x Citizen Deep feat. Jessica LM – Diadora
THEMBA feat. Nicinha – Cantando
THEMBA x Niraj Naik feat. Nicolle Rochelle – Sorofe

[item value="10"] Themba - Elements of Africa[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Elements of Africa is a masterfully crafted album that showcases THEMBA's signature blend of deep house infused with authentic African rhythms, intricate melodies, and collaborations with diverse artists. Each track weaves its own story, offering a unique sonic experience that resonates with both emotional depth and technical prowess. Akasha (feat. Double Touch) Opening with ethereal synths and a hypnotic groove, "Akasha" sets the tone of the album. Double Touch's organic instrumentation adds warmth, while THEMBA’s production layers atmospheric pads and subtle percussions to create a transcendent listening journey. Spine (with LEZ)"Spine" is anchored by a deep, pulsating bassline complemented by LEZ’s crisp percussive accents. The track’s minimalistic approach highlights rhythmic complexity, with subtle tempo shifts and evolving synth textures that keep the listener engaged. Diadora (with Citizen Deep feat. Jessica LM) Jessica LM’s soulful vocals are the heart of "Diadora." THEMBA and Citizen Deep craft a lush soundscape with rich chord progressions, delicate arpeggios, and a deep, resonant kick that anchors the emotive intensity of the track. Cantando (feat. Nicinha) "Cantando" blends Afro-Latin influences with deep house grooves. Nicinha’s vibrant vocals dance over syncopated beats and layered hand percussion. THEMBA’s use of melodic marimba tones adds a bright, rhythmic flair that’s both uplifting and dance-inducing. Sorofe (with Niraj Naik feat. Nicolle Rochelle) A meditative track, "Sorofe" features Nicolle Rochelle’s haunting vocals interwoven with Niraj Naik’s ambient soundscapes. The track’s production is immaculate—subtle reverb, spacious synth pads, and a steady, grounding beat create a serene, introspective vibe. Alegria (with DJ Kent) True to its name, "Alegria" radiates joy. THEMBA and DJ Kent deliver a vibrant, upbeat rhythm with infectious hooks and bright synth melodies. The percussion is crisp, complemented by warm basslines that make this track a dancefloor favorite. Lucid Dreams (with Khenya & ABEL) An immersive auditory experience, "Lucid Dreams" features dreamy pads and ethereal vocal snippets from Khenya. ABEL’s touch is evident in the atmospheric build-ups and intricate beat patterns, creating a dynamic journey through sound. Kumbuka (with IDQ) "Kumbuka" stands out with its percussive intensity and hypnotic chants that pay homage to African tribal roots. THEMBA and IDQ’s synergy shines through with layered rhythms, deep basslines, and an evolving melodic structure that keeps the energy flowing. Vuthelani (with Benchek feat. Bukeka) Closing the album, "Vuthelani" is a powerful fusion of deep house and traditional African sounds. Bukeka’s commanding vocals are supported by rich harmonics, dynamic drum patterns, and melodic synth layers that leave a lasting impression. Elements of Africa is a testament to THEMBA’s ability to merge traditional African elements with contemporary electronic music seamlessly. Each track is meticulously produced, offering a balance of emotional resonance and technical sophistication. This album not only showcases THEMBA’s versatility as a producer but also celebrates the rich tapestry of African musical heritage. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

[item value="10"]Newman (I Love), Three Drives On A Vinyl & Three Drives - Greece 2000[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]‘Greece 2000’, the timeless classic from Three Drives, re-emerges in a captivating new form with Newman (I Love)’s vocal-infused rework. This fresh iteration retains the essence of the original while employing advanced production techniques to elevate its sonic landscape, making it a standout in the organic house genre. At a tempo of 126 BPM, this emotionally charged version features meticulously crafted deep basslines that provide a rich, resonant foundation. The thumping drums and pounding kick are precisely engineered using layered samples and dynamic processing techniques, ensuring a powerful rhythm section that drives the track forward without overpowering the melodic elements. Central to the rework is the iconic sun-soaked pluck melody, now enhanced with lush new synth layers that add depth and texture. These synths are crafted using state-of-the-art virtual analog synthesizers, with carefully modulated filters and envelopes to create an ethereal, atmospheric quality. The introduction of an ethereal vocal line adds a fresh dimension, processed with reverb and delay effects to blend seamlessly with the instrumental backdrop. The breakdown section showcases masterful arrangement skills, providing a smooth, relaxing interlude. Newman skillfully employs gradual automation of reverb tails and filter sweeps to build tension subtly. As the track progresses towards its climax, dreamy Balearic elements emerge, characterized by cascading pads and shimmering arpeggios, evoking a serene yet uplifting vibe. A highlight of this rework is the addition of epic strings, arranged to complement both the melody and the new vocals. These strings are layered with orchestral samples and synthesized string patches, meticulously EQed and spatially positioned using stereo imaging techniques to create a wide, immersive soundstage. In summary, Newman (I Love)’s rework of ‘Greece 2000’ is not just a remix but a thoughtful reimagining that leverages advanced production processes and techniques. It preserves the beloved elements of the original while introducing innovative sounds and textures, resulting in a track that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

The lead up to the debut album from Rezident 'Feeling Fades’ continues with his euphoric single 'Hold On' featuring Von Boch and Elissa Mielke.

Berlin-based producer, live act, and DJ Rezident has been steadily carving out his place in the electronic music landscape. At just 26, his signature blend of emotive melodies and intricate production has already marked him out as a future star. Now, this bright young talent announces his debut album ‘Feeling Fades’, out May 9 on Anjunadeep.

Written over the past 18 months, ‘Feeling Fades’ showcases David’s artistic range, spanning introspective warmth to dark intensity. Featuring standout tracks like ‘Muse’ and ‘It’s All On You’, plus new collaborations with Von Boch, and LIAS, the album is a breakthrough body of work from the young producer.
"Feeling Fades” is a collection of moments - songs that came together over the past few years, each tied to a specific time in my life. For a long time, making music was something I did every day without thinking, just following whatever felt exciting in the moment. Over the years, sometimes that feeling has come and gone, and there were times when I wasn’t sure where to go next.

This album is made up of the tracks that stuck with me, the ones that still felt right when I put everything together. Some remind me of places I’ve been, others of people or certain feelings that are hard to put into words. Even as things change, the music is a reminder of where I’ve been - and in a way, where I’m going next.” - Rezident

 



Originally born in Karlsruhe in Southern Germany, David’s parents may have studied classical music, but his artistic side didn’t start showing itself until he heard deadmau5, bought FL Studio and started making beats. The rest is history, and his releases started coming thick and fast.

In 2020, he debuted on Anjunadeep Explorations 13. His remix of Ben Böhmer's ‘Erase’, released in 2022, was the most-played track on SiriusXM Chill that year and received incredible support on BBC Radio 1. Last year, ‘Only For A Moment’ and ‘Muse’ became dancefloor highlights across the Anjunadeep label tour, from London’s Roundhouse to Red Rocks and Mexico City.

His talent has caught the attention of artists like Elderbrook, Diplo, and AlunaGeorge whilst earning praise from BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Pete Tong, Sian Eleri, and Jaguar.

In the coming months, Rezident will be performing on key stages worldwide, with shows in Berlin, Basel, Albania for Anjunadeep Explorations, and London, where he’ll play Anjunadeep’s biggest label showcase to date at Royal Naval College, Greenwich.

To mark the album’s release, Rezident  debuted his live show at an intimate launch event on May 15th at The Social, London.

Rezident’s debut album ‘Feeling Fades’ is out now on Anjunadeep.

Release date: 9 May 2025 



Tracklist:
[00:00] - Rezident - Intro
[01:28] - Rezident Feat. ALLKNIGHT - Miracle
[05:30] - Rezident feat. Elmar - Our World
[09:04] - Rezident feat. Malou - It’s All On You

[item value="10"]Rezident - Feeling Fades [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Rezident's latest offering, Feeling Fades, out on Anjunadeep, is a masterclass in melodic house and deep electronic artistry. This album showcases not only Rezident's evolving sound but also his technical prowess within the studio, blending intricate sound design with emotionally resonant melodies.1. Intro The opening track sets a contemplative tone with atmospheric pads and subtle field recordings. The production features minimal percussive elements, allowing for the layered textures and evolving synths to create an immersive listening experience. 2. Miracle (feat. ALLKNIGHT) "Miracle" introduces ALLKNIGHT’s soulful vocals, perfectly complemented by crisp hi-hats and a pulsating bassline. The track employs sidechain compression effectively, giving it a rhythmic breathing effect that meshes with the vocal overlays and melodic arpeggios. 3. Our World (feat. Elmar)  This track leans into deep house grooves with Elmar’s ethereal voice floating over warm synth pads. The production shines with its reverb-drenched claps and smooth low-end frequencies, creating a space that feels both expansive and intimate. 4. It’s All On You (feat. Malou) A standout, "It’s All On You" blends organic instrumentation with electronic finesse. Malou’s heartfelt vocals are layered with subtle delay effects, while the track’s structure builds dynamically with syncopated percussion and melodic stabs. 5. Only For A Moment (feat. Ekko) Here, Rezident explores downtempo vibes and lush soundscapes. Ekko’s haunting vocals are supported by granular synthesis techniques, adding a textured feel that complements the evolving chord progressions. 6. Muse (feat. Kate Morgan) "Muse" showcases a sophisticated blend of deep house and indie electronic elements. The track uses stereo imaging to create a vivid sound field, with Kate Morgan’s vocals weaving through shimmering synth leads and tight rhythmic patterns. 7. We Can Make It : An instrumental gem, "We Can Make It" focuses on hypnotic loops and intricate modulation. Rezident manipulates filter sweeps and delay tails for a mesmerizing effect, showcasing his skill in creating dynamic movement without vocal anchors. 8. Bristol : Named perhaps after the city known for its electronic roots, "Bristol" integrates breakbeat elements with melodic house. The track features chopped vocal samples, layered over a driving bassline and reverb-heavy snares that evoke a nostalgic yet fresh feel. 9. Feeling Fades (feat. LIAS): The title track encapsulates the album’s emotional core. LIAS’s vocals are drenched in reverb and subtle pitch modulation, while the production layers atmospheric pads with syncopated percussion, driving the song’s melancholic yet danceable aesthetic. 10. Moving In (feat. Elmar): Returning with Elmar, this track offers a lighter, more uplifting atmosphere. Delicate plucks and airy pads dominate, with intricate drum programming that demonstrates Rezident’s attention to percussive detail and groove. 11. Hold On (feat. Von Boch & Elissa Mielke): Closing the album on a powerful note, "Hold On" features Von Boch’s subtle production nuances alongside Rezident's signature style. Elissa Mielke’s emotive delivery is supported by a lush arrangement of layered synths, dynamic basslines, and intricate reverb treatments, leaving listeners with a resonant, lasting impression. Rezident’s Feeling Fades is a testament to meticulous production. Techniques such as sidechain compression, granular synthesis, and dynamic EQ are employed throughout the album. The mixdown balances clarity with warmth, and the mastering ensures each track retains its dynamic range while achieving a polished finish. Additionally, Rezident’s use of space and stereo imaging enhances the immersive quality of the album, making it a standout in the melodic house genre. Feeling Fades is more than just an album; it’s an auditory journey through emotive landscapes and technical brilliance. Rezident continues to push the boundaries of melodic house with sophisticated production techniques and heartfelt collaborations. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"] Sonatine - Falling Out Of Time / True [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Sonatine emerges as an avant-garde initiative in the realm of deep melodic house and electronica, capturing the attention of enthusiasts with its sophisticated soundscapes and innovative production techniques. The project’s latest tracks, "Falling Out Of Time" and "True," embody a masterful blend of technical prowess and artistic expression, each delivering a unique auditory experience. Falling Out Of Time: This track is a quintessential example of how meticulous attention to detail in production can transform sound into an emotive experience. The composition makes use of a warm, analog-style melodic deep house foundation, characterized by its lush, chunky grooves and intricately woven basslines. The use of organic percussion elements adds a layer of authenticity and depth, creating a tactile auditory texture. Notably, the melancholic strings and cinematic themes are expertly layered to complement the male vocal, which is processed with reverb and subtle delay to enhance its emotive resonance. This track seamlessly integrates digital and acoustic elements to create a rich, immersive sonic tapestry that captivates both the heart and mind. True: Following in the footsteps of "Falling Out Of Time," "True" pushes the boundaries by merging ambient electronica with deep house in an innovative way. The production employs a variety of synthesizers and sound design techniques to craft a soundscape that is both dreamy and moody. Subtle use of filters and modulation effects on synth pads and melodic lines create a sense of movement and space within the track. The incorporation of ambient sound elements and strategically placed vocal snippets adds an ethereal quality, inviting listeners into its sonic microworld. The track’s progression maintains a delicate balance between lethargy and playfulness, ensuring an engaging experience from start to finish. Both tracks exemplify Sonatine’s commitment to forward-thinking ideas and heartfelt emotional expression, characterized by a well-calibrated mix that maintains clarity and depth across the frequency spectrum. The emotional vocals, performed and recorded with precision, are woven seamlessly into the intricate production, showcasing the transformative power of music. These tracks stand out not only for their technical excellence but also for their ability to evoke powerful emotions, making them a perfect addition to any deep house or electronica enthusiast’s playlist.

The final product is sure to take you on an epic emotional journey. Inspiration taken from many legends in the Progressive House, Melodic House, Melodic Techno, and Trance genres. Music supported by Armin Van Buuren, Tiesto, Ver:West, Paul Thomas, Dylhen, Fuenka, Luccio, Kristina Sky, Suzy Solar, Andretta, Deestopia, Jordan Gill, Whoriskey, Cosmic Gate, Jope, Aly & Fila, OzzyXPM, and many more.

His latest EP including the tracks Eternity/For You is out now on Pattern, the label curated by DJ Dylhen. We are very glad that Van Dope has found some time to answer to our interview about his new EP and talk about the past, present and future of his music journey. Enjoy his brilliant answers. 

1-Dimitris: It would be nice to start by telling us your 3 most important achievements or goals fulfilled  in your career so far that you very are proud of.

Van Dope: 1) My favorite achievement by far is getting my tracks played by DJs that I admired and love

2) Being able to write music and produce tracks that are having an impact on somebody anywhere in the world is special to me. It really is an honor to be able to do this. I really don't care much about being famous, but I do care about creating music and sharing it, and hopefully people like what they hear. 

3) Remixing an artist that is one of my inspirations. Special thanks to Paul Thomas for the opportunity and support. He has always given me advice when needed on making music, and the industry. One of the nicest people I have met in the industry for sure. My remix for his track "Remember" will be released on February 16th

2-Dimitris: Why and under which circumstances did you took the decision to start DJing or producing electronic dance music?

Van Dope: The first time I fell in love with the impact a DJ can have on people was witnessing Paul Van Dyk perform his Politics Of Dancing Vol.2 tour in Lebanon in 2005. That performance left me in awe and paved the way for me to get interested in the scene. I think proceeded to listen to more and more DJs, and going to more events like Tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, John Digweed, Deep Dish, Steve Lawler,  and kept getting more and more interested. As far as producing a friend of mine used to play around on a software called Reason, and I used to sit with him and watch him, so my initial journey in production started there, and I got more and more interested and kept diving deeper and learning more about it. To me personally I always enjoyed the journey of learning music production and creating and improving every year.

3-Dimitris: Can you note down the top 3 producers that have influenced your decision to get involved in the electronic dance music scene and you admire and respect them very much?

Van Dope: From when I first started it in 2005 to 2010 it was these guys: 

Paul Van Dyk

Tiesto

Paul Thomas 

4-Dimitris: Can you tell us the top 3 tracks from the past that have influenced your sound the most and why?

Van Dope: Very tough question and I would not be able to answer it. This answer always changes and music always evolves. 

5-Dimitris: It would be fantastic to talk about your latest EP on Pattern. Please tell us how these tracks came about and what was the idea behind them.

Van Dope: My latest EP on Pattern has two tracks! 

"Eternity" is an uplifting Progressive type track that combines the groove of modern progressive with the anthemic style trance vibes that we all love. 

"For You" is also similar, but a bit more deep and dreamy in general thanks to the lovely vocal that I found on splice that fits in. Also there are layers of Guitar segments layered in behind the synths that add an Organic element to the track.

 

I kept both these productions tempo at 120BPM to be able to cater to different genres. I look at these two as bridges that can help with a DJ stepping up and changing genres upwards, or slowing down at the end of a set, but the story telling is there in these two for sure.

The idea was to create something epic and captivating, but to be honest when I write music it just flows out of me, and I don't really plan for it unless its a remix or something specific that was requested of me. My original tracks are usually all from the heart and in the moment. 

6-Dimitris: How long it took you to produce them and can u describe the production process in simple steps?

Van Dope: When I produce music I work backwards. I usually start with the most interesting part of the track and see if there is potential for it. I start but writing the main idea and take it from there if I am loving the track. Sometimes I can finish a track in a day, but sometimes it takes weeks or even months.

So for me it's always write the main idea down, add the elements, create different sections, and variations, and then start arranging at the end and extending the song. Get some feedback when I need to rest my ears, and then continue with the same version, or a different version of the song. Always save different versions on your work station :) 

7-Dimitris: Did you had any particular difficulties accomplishing these particular tracks or any specific technical challenges or obstacles that you had to overcome during its production.

Van Dope: I would say the main difficulty was trying to fit them into one package as an EP, as one was a bit faster paced than the other, but I was able to find common ground and fine tune things. Getting the write sounds across both tracks so they fit in one package was a bit challenging at first but once fixed it was smooth. 

8-Dimitris: If you would have the opportunity to change something in your tracks and maybe to do a new remix what elements are you unhappy with and you are going to change? Is there any artist that you feel would be fantastic to remix these tracks and why?

Van Dope: I would not change anything personally about them, but for remixers :) I would love to have A.M.R. , Paul Thomas , Fuenka, Dylhen, Blake Jarrell, Nihil Young as remixers for this EP if I had to choose. I think they would re-create something fantastic. 

9- 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?

Van Dope: Personally I use Ableton Live 100% of the time. I also have Logic Pro but I don't really use it much. I just find Ableton the easiest and fastest to write my ideas down and make them bigger. As far as plugins I use Diva, Omnisphere, Sylenth1, Native Instruments, and Ableton plugins, but I also have Waves plugins that I use. For my signature sounding Arpeggiators that I used on a lot of my tracks I always tend to use Sylenth1 for them. Fantastic plugin and I just use it very well and am comfortable with it.

I don't own any analog gear, but I know a lot of producers that do. 

It doesn't matter to me. The important thing is the idea and musical content. 

I know producers who can write amazing stuff with a laptop and headphones, and I know some who have so much expensive hardware/analog stuff that can't seem to write decent music. 

It's all about the idea and music content. As a producer you need to find what works for you, and the important thing is to get into the creative flow state. You can do that with Analog gear, or without any. It just depends on the person, but it is important to keep an open mind and be open to learning new things and learning from others. 

10-Dimitris: Do you prefer vocal or instrumental tracks? If there are vocals on the track we discuss about tell us about the singer you work with?

Van Dope: I like both, but I tend to pick my find my vocal samples at the end just to make them easier to fit around the instrumentation and emotional feeling of the track. They usually add that extra harmony, emotional depth, and textures that are needed to take the track up to where it needs to be. 

11-Dimitris: Are there any vocalists/singers on electronic dance music you aspire to work with?

Van Dope: Yes !! Definitely Diana Miro, JES, and I would love to work with Jeremiah McKnight again. 

12-Dimitris: Please choose the most powerful lyrics ever included in a dance track and why these lyrics have touched you so deeply and have a special meaning for you?

Van Dope: Paul Van Dyk feat. Wayne Jackson - The Other Side 

That song was stuck in my head for 6 months after I first heard it, and it still holds till today. Fantastic vocals and it would be a dream to officially remix this track one day and put my own spin on it. 

13-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?

Van Dope: Artwork is important, but the music is definitely more important.

From my own tracks I love the artwork for a collaboration I did with Egyptian artist "Amru"

The artwork for the track named "Sic Mundus" was created by a graphic designer in the Netherlands.

She also did my personal branding and some other artwork for releases.

You can check her portfolio here: https://www.synaesthesik.com/portfolio

14-Dimitris: Can you pick your favorite top 3 record labels including the one released the track that we discuss in this interview and give us a short comment about why these labels are important to you and the music scene too?

Van Dope: 1) UV: Great evolving record label and always pushing the boundaries of Progressive House

2) Pattern: Has been home to my recent releases and future ones, and it fits my current sound like no other label has.

3) Settlement Recordings and Vandit Alternative (TIED for third): I love the type of tracks they are releasing and I will challenge myself in the future to get some work signed with them. 

15-Dimitris: Do you have your own record label? if yes tell us when did you set it up, the reasons behind this decision and your top 3 releases on the label so far plus 2 or 3 releases that we should look after from your label.

Van Dope: I did own one called Odd Olive Records, but I decided to slow down last year, and I will not be releasing on it anytime soon again. Maybe in the future, but for now I just don't really have time to work on it and give it the attention it deserves.

The best 3 releases on the label to me were:

1) Dark Night : an original track by me with remixes by Stan Kolev, Ucros, and Paul Hamilton 

2) Moe Turk: Orchid  

3) Horizone (Ucros Remix) 

16-Dimitris: Are you planning to complete an album or mix compilation soon? if yes please give us all the details about regarding tracks and how will look and sound like? 

Van Dope: I would like to create a 10-12 track album as a one time thing and see how it goes, but Its something I will look at in the next couple of years. For now I am happy releasing singles, EP's, and remixes.

17-Dimitris:How much time do you spend promoting yourself in your social media and you see this as essential tool for self promotion and getting bookings too? Which social media is the one that seems to work better for you?

Van Dope: This is the part of the industry that I am not so talented at, nor do I enjoy it :)

Honestly speaking I prefer the music making part of things and I do not enjoy the social media aspect. I understand that it is essential and needed, but I do feel like it brought a narcissistic spin on things in the industry. For me I like to let the music do the talking.

Instagram is definitely my favorite platform for promoting music and I find it the easiest to use, but I think the biggest potential is with YouTube after recently having an artist channel on there.

18-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?

Van Dope: I do have one on YouTube called Odd Sessions that I should be starting again soon and putting out a mix once or twice a month. You can check out my new releases and mixes on there.

19-Do you post videos on tiktok? If yes please reference for us your favourite? What is your opinion about the power of tiktok to promote music releases?Is there any tiktok video created by fans of you with your music worth mentioning?

Van Dope: I did a few times and I have been advised to do so more often, but like I said earlier Social media is not something I enjoy. 

20-Dimitris: Do you have any  gigs/festival performances confirmed so far for 2024 in which ones are you most excited to perform and why?

Van Dope: I was offered a few gigs in Miami for Miami Music Week, but I politely declined as I am on a different journey right now and am traveling and have other responsibilities. Gigs will come on my travels for sure, but It has not been my focus recently. Sometimes life just happens. 

21-Dimitris:  Can you describe your music  as certain music genre such as trance, house, techno  or your music exempts these categorizations? What is your opinion about hybrid styles and artists who are attempting to mix influences from various genres in their tracks? 

Van Dope: I definitely think my music mixes a couple of these genres together. I don't think artists should limit themselves to one specific genre. The point is to create. Not every creation will be great, but the creative process is important for every artist. 

Dimitris: Your message & wishes  for Flux Bpm Online readers.

Van Dope: Thank you all for checking out the interview :) I hope you can find inspiration and joy from my music.  Have a wonderful 2024. Peace and Love! 

Thanks so much to Van Dope for his time to answer this interview.

Thanks so much to Stuart and Paul at FSOE for organising this interview.
