Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. Your new EP \u201cBreathe\u201d is out on SNOE these days, what was your inspiration behind it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No problem, It\u2019s my pleasure, been a fan of the label for a while!<\/p>\n<p>It was different for each track, for the Breathe track I was trying to implement Arabic sounds and bring a bit of a Arabic Vibe to a house track and for \u2018They Love me\u2019 I wanted to make a track with a driving 808 bassline and a catchy hook, really happy with how both came out and super excited for this EP!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard you before?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fun House Music! Always Groovy, Always Funky and most importantly always FUN!<\/p>\n<p><strong>And can you tell us a bit about your musical background and where you are from?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m originally from Honduras, but been living in Miami, FL almost my whole life and I\u2019ve been making music for about 4 years now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How much time do you spend in the studio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Short answer would be A LOT, just about everyday, work at least a bit everyday and stay consistent.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favourite toy for making music?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Honestly most of my tracks are made with samples I manipulate, chop, pitch, stretch and make my own, the only Synth I use regularly is probably Rob Pappen\u2019s Sub Boom Bass.<\/p>\n<p><strong>With whom would you like to spend time in the studio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He doesn\u2019t do House Music but Timbaland is my all time favorite producer, his sounds and melodies and drums are just on another level, I\u2019d love to be in the studio with him and watch him work.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-3244\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"555\" height=\"370\" srcset=\"https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-510x340.jpg 510w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/snoemusic.com\/wordpress\/snoe-staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/22459553_1744574652505984_9147418744399645802_o-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><strong>What is the one thing you can\u2019t be without in the studio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My Sample library haha!<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what is the one thing you do not want in your studio?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Clutter\u2026 A bunch of studio equipment I never use that just takes up space.
