Courses → https://edmprod.com/coursesThis week, UMEK sat down to chat on the EDM Prodcast.UMEK is a techno producer/DJ from Ljubljana, Slovenia who has been a scene staple for nearly 3 decades. Over the years he has moved from the classic techno sound, through to tech house, and then back to techno with a distinctly dark and melodic sound.We dive into how moving genres and selling out was a bad move for his career, and that having a core fanbase is important. As a result, UMEK has side projects such as Zeta Reticula which allows him to explore other sounds without compromising his main project.We talk about how he almost exclusively uses software for UMEK tracks, and why he got rid of over 20 synthesizers in favor of synths like Serum.UMEK discusses his writing process and that he doesn't overthink the story behind a track - he just writes music that he thinks will sound good in his sets. He also describes how his DJ sets are a sprint rather than a marathon.Cryptic Speech EP → https://www.beatport.com/release/cryptic-speech-ep/3337925The Thrillseekers - Synaesthesia (UMEK Remix) → https://www.beatport.com/track/synaesthesia/15399183Viberate → https://www.viberate.com/Show notes → https://edmprod.com/episode-155Connect with UMEK:Facebook → https://www.facebook.com/umek.siInstagram → https://www.instagram.com/umek_1605/Soundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/umekSpotify → https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Hini2nQyoglzpdKe41cZt?si=7hZEpRmbT4u2eoLOE5GJZw&dl_branch=1Timestamps:EDMProd:Website → https://edmprod.comInstagram → https://instagram.com/edmprodgramFacebook → https://www.facebook.com/EDMPsiteSoundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/edmprodSpotify → https://sptfy.com/edmprodAden Russell (Artsea):Instagram → https://instagram.com/iamartseaFacebook → https://facebook.com/iamartseaSpotify → https://sptfy.com/iamartseaSoundcloud → https://soundcloud.com/iamartsea
