DJ GROM ARTIST INTERVIEW
Tell us about a project you worked on that you are especially proud of?
- My biggest project is my mix show "Club Atmosphere." I started when I was student, I came up with the idea and started recording episodes featuring the latest releases. The project was broadcast for a long time on several FM stations and online radio stations. This year, I decided to refresh the project and continue recording with new energy.
What's the biggest misconception about DJing and producing?
- The biggest misconception is that being a DJ is easy, just as recording music is. It's quite a substantial and complex process that requires a lot of patience and concentration. However, if you truly love what you do, then you will succeed.
How would you describe your music production style and genre?
- I currently produce in the Progressive Trance style.
What styles of music do you usually DJ?
- For a long time, I played House music in nightclubs. Although, I also love Trance very much.
As a DJ, analog or digital and why?
- I try to combine both digital and analog. Even when I release mix-shows, I have a digital track on the left deck and a vinyl turntable on the right. A DJ should feel the rhythm, hear the beat, and catch it.
What do you like most about music production?
- I really love melodies. Beautiful melodies captivate me.
How long have you been producing and DJing?
- I wrote my first track in 2001, and since then I release music depending on my inspiration. I started playing professionally as a DJ a little later.
What's your typical work process when producing a new track?
- I come up with a melody, then chords, then search for the right synthesizer sound, and then I work on the rhythm and beat.
Tell us about your studio setup.
- I have a small home studio. For music production, I use FL Studio and the Axiom49 MIDI keyboard. For DJing, I use Pioneer DDJ800 equipment and an Audio-Technica AT-LP140XP turntable.
Can you share one DJ tip?
- Less hype, more music :)
What other musicians or music producers inspire you?
- I follow both top artists like Armin, Aly & Fila, Richard Durand, as well as new in the industry like Omnia and Ahmed Helmy.
What are some upcoming events or projects you are excited about?
- I'm always interested in various open-air events.
Where can we find out more about your music and DJ schedule?
- The internet is the largest resource available to everyone. Just search for DJ Grom on Google, and you can find everything.
