In this exclusive interview, we delve into DJ Mosha‘s plans, goals, and aspirations for 2023, and get a glimpse into what makes him a rising Techno producer in the world of music.

1 — First of all, can you tell us about any new song you have been working on recently?

Of course… You could say that the style of music has changed a bit. The current sound is rather monotonous Techno + electronic sounds. You can find an example here!

That’s the sound that’s going through my head right now. I find it very refreshing to also break new ground as a producer because you get new ideas, and this is important!

2 — What about partnerships or collaborations?

A lot has happened there. During the pandemic, I teamed up with a label from Detroit… but that’s gone. I think that’s a pity, but times change sometimes.

At the moment I’m working with a small label from Kiel in Germany, L.A.U.T.H. Rec. There have already been releases and events! And I’m still working with Voltage Circus.

In this community, you can work together with other artists and organizers! It’s really a lot of fun and you get new insights! That is very cool!

3 — How do you stay current and up-to-date with the music industry trends?

That’s a good question! But difficult to answer. I think everyone works differently. Trends come and go. As a musician, you actually go your own way. But you also have to look right and left to see what else is new. I think it also depends on the people you work with. And then you move together in one direction!

I don’t know anyone who works alone in the music industry. And only by working together can you get an overview of the current trends. One tries to distinguish between what is new and what is repeated. Trends just happen…

4 — How has COVID-19 affected your work as a producer?

Compared to previous years, the production ratio has changed fundamentally. Especially in the Corona period, many producers have been busy producing and also publishing. I reduced my productions and releases here!

I would say that during this time I collected new sounds for the time after Corona. But I think every musician created their own work process during the Corona period! And I chose this path!

During this time I also sat down with other sound designers and talked about sound design and how to create or change new sounds directly and technically! It was also a lot of fun and broadened my horizons.


5 — In what ways have you adjusted your DJ performances in response to the ongoing pandemic?

My sense of the club culture is that it’s recovered.

I’ve been to different clubs in the last few months and here I discovered the audience as normal and as before the pandemic! I don’t think the attendance is quite up to pre-pandemic levels though… but it is a good way.

I won’t change much about the music style. It will continue to be Techno. And, of course, it’s fun to be in a club again and be in contact with different artists and also with the audience!

6 — How do you find a balance between pushing creative boundaries and ensuring your tracks resonate with a broad audience?

That’s a good question! Everyone has their own motivation when it comes to producing music! For example, as a counter-question. What kind of music would you produce? What music do you like? or What music others would like to hear?

I don’t worry about… how big the audience that listens to my music? Or do people like my music?

Music is versatile and there will always be people who like your music and those who don’t like your music. That is normal. Everything else is just pressure and I think such pressure can influence your creativity! This is not good!

In today’s world, everything has to be measured and promise maximum success. I think that’s the wrong motivation in music. It’s about being different!


From an entrepreneur’s point of view, it’s good that there is commercial music and that it’s very successful! But that also means that other styles of music (underground) will also be growing again. The audience wants to be entertained and experience something new and not hear the same songs that they have heard before or that sound the same!

Music is constantly changing and change only works when there are people dying to try different things. But as I said, it’s all about your own motivation! What do I want to achieve with my music? You should know your target audience.

My target group is rather small. I don’t want to appeal to the normal consumer who streams or is on YouTube.

My target group is called “DJ”. This is also the one who plays my songs at events.

7 — What kind of production techniques or technologies have you been incorporating in your recent jams?

I found a great enrichment and also beautiful creative technology and also transferred it to my studio. This is the “Erae Touch” of Embodiment. This is a polyphonic MIDI controller with sensitivity as well as a versatile interface.

You can design the surface freely and import drums yourself! I think that’s great and you have so many options! Just awesome! https://www.embodme.com/erae-touch

8 — What inspires you to keep creating music?

My inspiration or motivation is to create new sounds! And this process is what makes a musician or producer happy! To create something from his inspiration that sounds good and also makes other people dance.

9 — What are your future goals and how do you plan to achieve them?

I think the big goal is > to create Musk. There will always be projects that I want to implement! Own sounds, radio shows, cooperation with other producers, own events, everything that has to do with music!

In order to implement such projects, you have to work together with other institutes! I think that’s the nice thing about music, if you have the same interests, you can get to know new people and implement projects together, or bring them together.

In order to achieve such goals, you have to work together with other people

10 — Is there anything you would like to share or add with us?

Today’s time is very fast-moving! All current information on projects can be found here!

You can check out my releases and DJ sets on Beatport, Bandcamp, Mixcloud, and SoundCloud.

Mosha is fascinated by the extent to which electronic music connects people, regardless of ethnicity, nationality, language, or religion. He sees music as a means of communication. “Music is the answer.”
