COVER INTERVIEW > BELOCCA: THE TECHNO BUDDHA

Hi Belocca, thank you for joining us. In your career so far, you have
achieved massive things. Bearing this in mind, what are your current
goals and how do they align with where you want your career to go in
the future?
First of all, thank you so much for asking me!
My music gave me so much over the years; producing a variety of
tunes, remixes and sample packs, playing music as a DJ, on the radio, in
my podcasts, on my own events and releasing tunes on internationally
acclaimed labels and starting my own imprint Mainground Music. This
has been and still is an absolute joy, as music will always be my first
love. This creative output gives me the ability and freedom to explore ME
in this great adventure. Sharing one’s creativity and emotions with an
audience and them giving you positive vibes back on work you created
is simply magical. Any creative person will tell you this. My main goal
is to better myself where I can on all of these levels, help others, and
inspire the people that I work with and my fans. I always have strong
ideas and visions of what I want to achieve in music and life and find
people to help me do that. They empower me, but also tire, frustrate
and sadden me sometimes.
There’s still a long and challenging road ahead to where I want to go,
but I am ready for it. I do however take it one step at a time and let small
steps forward lead to my one big goal; have my fans grade me at the
same level as fellow electronic music producers and DJ’s who master
their craft and inspired and helped me on my journey. People like Carl
Cox, Kraftwerk, Daft Punk and Roger Sanchez all have steadily built their
careers, maxed their potential and are still evolving and inspiring. That’s
where I want to be in my own unique way.

You’ve also received support from some of the greats in the techno
scene with past releases of yours. When you see these big names
supporting you, how does it make you feel? Does it inspire you to grow
even further as an artist?
Oh yes.... I am still a small kid shouting “YES,YES, YES” every time respect-
ed artists support me. I am really grateful for this, as they encourage
and strengthen me. One of my first and fondest memories was when I
was a young ambitious 16 year old kid hearing my song being played at
the Parade in Budapest, whilst being amongst the party crowd. Goose-
bumps! I felt the same way when Carl Cox, Adam Beyer and Joris Voorn
started playing my records for the first time. Actually, I am grateful for
any support and respect towards my work from anyone, big and small.
This really drives me!
