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!
