You’ve drawn inspiration from various cultures, including Egyptian mythology, and even named your label after Hekate. How do these cultural influences manifest in your artistic style and creative process?

I’ve always been quite spiritual, and I create spiritual experiences with my music. I love tarot and hypnotherapy. These cultural influences and spiritual practices influence almost everything I do, music and beyond. The first track of “Spiritual Driveby” features my hypnotherapist friend – it really opens you up for the rest of the album. I also did a pop-up in LA around tarot late last year; it was incredible to pull tarot for my fans. It really made me feel connected to them on a deeper level, I think those are really concrete examples of how these cultural influences play into my creative process and style. My label, Hekate, is named after the Greek goddess of I’m very drawn to female deities and was really inspired by Hekate. In Greek mythology, she is the goddess of witchcraft and wild places and in the myth of the seasons she saved Persephone from the underworld. I related to her experience deeply and was very inspired by her.

Do you see music as a medium that connects us to frequencies or energies from other worlds or unseen dimensions? Do you think that sound can serve as a conduit for exploring realms beyond the physical?

Yes – music is reiki; everything is vibrational and every piece of music has a wave and a frequency. There is definitely a spiritual energy with all music, I’ve always felt quite attuned to higher spiritual energies and frequencies. Sound and experiencing music with high frequencies can absolutely serve as a conduit for transformations, and I try to give that type of spiritual experience to my listeners through my music.

Music has long been tied to ritual and spiritual practices, often creating a trance-like state. Do you think techno shares this connection, leading to a feeling of catharsis for those involved? As the one setting the tempo, how do you see your role in guiding this collective experience?

I definitely feel that hard techno shares this connection. Being able to create music at the highest of frequencies and push it to people is so powerful and uplifting – watching a crowd’s energy shift while I’m playing is so unmatched. I truly believe that I am here to offer true out-of-body experiences to my audiences and listeners – . Most of my tracks have subliminal frequency messaging, and I meticulously structure my sets to bring positive energy to the crowd. I tend to play harder in the beginning of a set to rinse out the darkness in the crowd and I get lighter and more spiritual the longer I play. A lot of people believe that techno, hard techno especially, is dark or demonic and I aim to be an anecdote to that way of thinking.

What’s on the horizon for you? Are there any exciting projects or new directions you’re heading in that we should be on the lookout for?

I have so many exciting things coming up this year. I’m kicking off my ETERNALISM tour on Friday, January 31 in Amsterdam at AFAS Live. I’ve always wanted to create a touring impact which would have a big impact – and ETERNALISM is just that, it’s my offering for an everlasting spiritual moment in music. It really takes hard techno to a completely new height and truly represents me and my artistry. I’m also so excited to be playing at Coachella this year. It’ll be my debut at the festival, and I can’t wait to unleash my unique vision and energy to the crowd there. It’s going to be EPIC.
