This probably sounds like a boring question, but I always wonder with the people you interview - what's their production schedule like? Do they go into the studio 5 days a week? Do they keep regular hours? Work a different job to keep their career going? Just a thought, I'd love to know!
I doubt it. A DJ like Quelza is one of the most sought after Techno djs in the world, therefore he plays alot of gigs, up to 10 a month. In different countries and even continents. I think some artists in the scene are far more focused on production such as Peter van Hoesen, Hugo Rolan, Jay York. Perhaps these people spend more time in the studio. That being said, Quelza, Chlär, Alarico for example produce a lot of unreleased for their sets, so perhaps they can spend up to 5 days a week on it. But yes, it would be interesting to hear their perspectives on this.
check out the podcast "Trainwrecks" by Dustin Zahn, he's got Quelza in one episode, where he answers such questions:) would recommend this podcast in general. cause its dope.
and the most uncomfortable question of them all: how much of their production are they still doing themselves and how much is done by ghost producers / "studio partners" etc. with commercial touring djs one fame level above quelza the answer might be shocking to many lol
This dude is sick!! I'm out of the loop and have been living at the bottom of the sea -- first time hearing of this guy, since resurfacing for a breath of air! -- Thanks for hosting this -- this guy just opened up my eyes a bit!!
I think the way he approaches music production, is what is needed in a scene that in recent years has been saturated by snobbish conservatism. It's understandable that some people perceive themselves as “perfectionists” blah blah blah. “Perfect is the enemy of the good” said Voltaire and he was absolutely right. To the extent that more artists are encouraged to break the rules, the more possibilities there will be to break out of canons, which even if they work, become incredibly asphyxiating, determinant, boring. This is the only way we will see the birth of new constellations and we will stop being old and bitter.
i like to dish on the format sometimes. but it's always great that you give a platform to artists that still proudly defend their in the box workflow during the hardware synth renaissance. too many kids these days think they 'need' hardware or that it sounds better (lol) when they see the impressive studios of others.
Thank you very much for interview! Cool ! I am interesting about walls in studio - what is it ? I like to do the same. Wood? What is the sound treatment there?
Would love an id on that beautiful minimal dubby track that comes in around 7:00, assuming its Quelza but have never heard it before and would love to add to the library!
Thanks for sharing this video and these insights. I agree that the more you know, the less decisive or creative you can become. It’s like with kids, as they can really think outside the box, while adults tend to think that they think outside of the box while being inside another box 🙂 - Agree on his freebies for Reverb. SuperMassive is dope!
Hi Electronic Beats. Thank you for the new video. I've been a big fan of your videos since over a decade. Your videos have been like an encyclopedia for all of my electronic music knowledge. Even though I have nothing against newer artists, somehow the new videos don't seem to have much depth as compared to previous ones. Maybe it's the artists. Please focus on artists who're more experienced in their journey. Thank you. Please bring Rod Modell / Forest Drive West / Vainquier / Shinichi Atobe / Cignol / ERP / Artefakt / Calibre / Tim Reaper / DJ Stingray / PLO MAN / Federsen / Mike Schommer / Carrier / Bochum Welt / Biosphere etc.
Listen to Quelza for a while and check his mixes and you'll understand that in a few years he'll be on that list of yours. The electronic dance music scene is so conservative it's at risk of becoming stale. We need fresh young creative talent like this. I don't think we need another 50 plus year old dude talking about his 7000€ vintage SP1200.
@@alaeifR I'm not interested in getting into the whole old vs new debate. Some of the artists I mentioned are young too. His music just isn't for me, though I do appreciate his technical skills. Dance music feels stale, not because of the older people who are truly dedicated to what they do, but because of the clout-chasers who care more about their Instagram feed than the music itself. I don't care if an artist is old or young-I just want to hear artists who resonate with me more.
I think one of the big reasons why you think the videos from producers who are in the game for some time now are more in depth, is that they share more of their techniques, because they already established a sound, that everyone recognizes as their music. Producers who are upcoming might not share to much of their techniques yet, as they are still on the way to establishing their own sound
@@leonard.c That's a part of it too. It's different hearing someone you deeply revere. Part of it is trying to understand where something you love is coming from and what's fuelling their intensity.
I hate when people try and argue being in the Box. Hardware costs alot of money, I get it. But its deffinitly an upgrade to your sound when done right. Hybrid is the best way to go. The computer is recreating the real...adding a few 'real' components is always good.
that's 100% bullshit. no matter what you believe, you won't be able to double blind test the difference between hardware and a modern vst emulation. there's online tests you can do yourself if you don't believe others - but you probably won't because this will challenge your beliefs
Depends on what you call “the real thing”. It is absolutely not necessary to include analog sounds in a production, and there is no point in digital hardware being inherently better than a computer.

Incredible artist! Sound design is spot on.

Even tho his tracks are not always my cup of tea, he surely does have a great sound design. Great vid!
It was a very inspiring interview!Thank you Telekom Electronic Beats Tv.
Leo's masterclass on Seedj might be the best thing i've seen in my life regarding electronic music.

one of the best when it comes to producing and djing. can't wait to see him again soon
Go see him at open ground, Wuppertal. Unreal!

lots of great tips here! 🎉

Great interview. Hadn’t heard of Quelza before, loving the music! Cool philosophy too

There's no such thing anymore. If it sounds good it sounds good.
