Keep It Deep was lucky enough to converse with Re:Axis after the review we posted of his latest album. With a soundcloud profile that keeps on giving, he’s the ‘new wave’ of techno. Dark, progressive, and driving basslines coupled with organic percussion and atmospheric techno sounds have been his program since day one, and he is only getting better.

Having just released your newest work, and a full album at that, you are looking towards the tour and your live show. How do you formulate your live show? Do you go into each set differently or is it a somewhat similar set each time? Yes, I’m currently on Tour with my new album, “Paradigm Of Realities” which was released on my own label, Monocline Records on the last month. Also presenting new tracks and remixes that I’m still doing in a Live performance format. You can expect something very different in all my shows because what I usually do is playing samples from all my productions and mixing all together.

With a live show comprised of only your productions you have endless possibilities as each sound you have not only created but can manipulate as you wish. As a live artist you must always concentrated on raising your performance to the next level. What is the next step for your live show? I think that’s a very interesting challenge. When you start to play more and try to understand the audience you feel motivated to do better and better… It’s a kind of cyclic effect with all the feedback you got in that moment. I’m working on a new EP and I will start doing a new Setup to play Live with some instruments from iPad and new effects also in a few days. So, this will be probably my future now…

New instruments and a new EP? Cannot wait to hear what you’re making now. As you experiment with these new instruments in the studio, how are you approaching this new EP? Any obvious inspirations? I’m obviously feeling something more “stronger” now. Perhaps because of my recent performances with some big artists and crowd. Trying new instruments and ways to create what I most love to do has always been a great inspiration for me. Just go with the flow…

Experience and confidence through success is such a strong inspiration. As you grow as an artist and build a bigger audience you are no doubt travelling a lot more. What are the five things you always bring with you when travelling (not including your equipment)? To be honest I don’t have much more than my equipment and all the desire to play new stuff for different crowd and event… Sometimes I take some promotional merchandising from my own label, Monocline Records. Ok… I forgot: Sunglasses, passport, ear plugs, toothbrush and my photographic camera.
