No bullshit talk with Matija

Interview by AKA TONY

– You mentioned the other day that the pandemic and what it has done has changed your life as a DJ and producer quite a bit, can you tell us a little more about that?

The pandemic is not a happy state, but a very instructive one, if you let it and make something out of it. In the meantime I’ve built up a second mainstay that I’ve wanted to tackle for a long time anyway, but never had the time or the drive to do so. Through this standstill I came really close to myself, could devote myself fully to me, my loved ones and thus my future. Music remains of course there and is much produced or podcasted. Of course not the same as playing at an event, but that’s just not possible right now. Have patience it will come back …

– Since you were an established act in Berlin before Zurich, you are surely in a great position to compare the two scenes for us. Will you do us this favor?

Honestly, I don’t like to do that, the beat beats in all hearts (of course in different versions, but it beats) and makes us a unity that should not be compared (because unity), music connects;

– What is the most beautiful experience that was given to you by the music?

Music really gives me every day anew beautiful moments and experiences. Therefore, this is a continuous state for me, which I really enjoy.

– Which recent musical developments inspire you?

I’m honestly never specifically looking for something new, because there is always something new to discover in the old. I like the fusion of genres very much and am always surprised that there are still new combinations of notes despite soooooo much written music …

– What do you wish for the time after the pandemic in general and what will be the first thing you do when all the restrictions are over?

I always focus on the here and now as much as possible. I don’t want to live in the future or the past. Every moment is one of the most important and should be enjoyed to the fullest. Of course I’m looking forward to playing in front of an audience again, but that will come when it comes …

Patience that will come back …
