Are you an abelton / reason / logic or<br />
analog guy?<br />
I actually use FL Studio. I started on it back when it<br />
was called Fruity Loops. Almost every producer I work with for<br />
my label uses Ableton. So, I am starting to explore that as well.<br />
The truth is, almost any DAW (digital audio workstation) will do<br />
the job and is compatible with any virtual instrument or plugin<br />
you might want to use. So, pick the one you know best and go<br />
deep in it!<br />
important as the sound itself. You need space, room to breathe.<br />
My tracks definitely follow that ethos. Less is sometimes more!<br />

I am entirely ‘in the box’. No analog gear. FL Studio is<br />
my DAW. I have a broad array of virtual synths and far too<br />
many plugins. I have an external soundcard, nearfield monitors<br />
for great, clean sound and a variety of MIDI controllers. I also<br />

one of the reasons why I use FL Studio: It is great for building<br />
groove loops. So, I always start with that. I build the drum<br />
programming, layer on a bassline and see where the mood<br />
takes me.<br />
Next releases?<br />
My main focus right now is growing Deep Down. My<br />
next production work will be remixing some upcoming Deep<br />
Down releases. We work with some of the best names around.<br />
So, it will be a real challenge for me to release alongside them.<br />
We have a track coming out in February where Dowden and I<br />
are doing remixes. He is such an accomplished producer. So,<br />
this is a nice challenge for me.<br />
My label is focused on deep progressive house music.<br />
What you might hear Hernan Cattaneo or Nick Warren play early<br />
in the night. With deeper tracks the absence of sound is as
