liquidfive Interview | Lifestyle Pocket Guide
Can you tell us more about your journey as an artist and how you developed your distinctive blend of dance-pop and electronic music?
I started as the drummer in a band called liquidfive in 2011. After the band dissolved in 2015, I transitioned to DJing and producing in 2017, focusing on danceable electro-pop music with strong hooks!
Tell us a little about your new single ‘Gimme That Love’.
‘Gimme That Love’ is an exhilarating track that blends deep house beats, tropical percussion, and funky synth lines, complemented by a silky-smooth female vocal. It’s designed to be an instant earworm for both dancefloors and radio listeners.
You’ve collaborated with international artists like Yves V, ENIGMA, and B Martin. How do you choose the artists you work with, and what makes a successful collaboration for you?
I select collaborators based on a shared musical vision and chemistry. A successful collaboration stems from mutual respect and the ability to blend our unique styles seamlessly.
Your track ‘Veins’ made it to the Top 10 of the US dance charts. What was the creative process behind this track, and how did it feel seeing it achieve such international success?
‘Veins’ was inspired by personal experiences of introspection and self-discovery. Working with B Martin was exceptional, and seeing the track reach the Top 10 of the US dance charts was immensely rewarding.
With your songs frequently being featured at major global events like Tomorrowland and Ushuaia Ibiza, do you create tracks with these large audiences in mind, or is your creative process more personal?
While my creative process is personal, I aim to produce tracks that resonate with both intimate listeners and large audiences at major events.
