Interview :
Virtual Underground : How has this Neo Sapiens story started ?
Neo Sapiens : I have always been passionate about music. I have been writing songs since chilhood hoping one day I would form a band. However, since I was not so open about my dreams and wasn’t surrounded by musicians, I could never find enough people with the same taste in music to form a band. Finding out about DAW’s was a game changer for me. I started experimenting every night without anything in mind till sunrise. I learned and started DJ-ing at Sintetik club in Baku and soon became a resident of the club. I came up with the name “Neo Sapiens” while I was drunk and complaining about my communication problems to my close friend. Neo Sapiens is a new species of primates that communicates through music rather than verbal language :)
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
Neo Sapiens : Inspiration can come from everything but usually it comes from the inside when there are no distractions around me. There is almost always some music playing inside my head. The less mental or physical distractions there are, the more connected I feel to music. That is why I like being alone and doing nothing, staying up late with my music.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?
Neo Sapiens : I would consider my mixing style dynamic. I like sudden changes and surprises during my sets. I like to mix different sounds and genres and make it fit the set. For me, the art of DJ-ing is about taking a trip to different dimensions of music without making listeners uncomfortable.
VU : What are you working on right now ?
Neo Sapiens : I am currently working on music production. I already have some tracks ready and will be released soon. At the same time I am a member and a resident of @taflab which is an event organizing team in Baku and we are currently in the process of starting a label for Titanium event and podcast series which represents the heavier side of tafLAB.

Interview
Virtual Underground : How has this NGC 21 story started ?
NGC 21 : It all started with my passion for music creation, audio and electronic music. Me and a friend of mine decided to make a summer tour in Europe on 2018 and I ended up living in Berlin. I just started absorbing the most I could from the music scene here and this set is a result from these last 2 years.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
NGC 21 : Listening to good music with nice people around - going to clubs
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process ?
NGC 21 : I like to select tracks that grab my feeling and attention, and try to play them in a very free way when I'm performing, trying to act as a passage between the music and the people.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?
NGC 21 : For this set I used Rekordbox with a DDJ-RB mixer
VU : What are you working on right now ?
NGC 21 : Right now Im working on some new tracks I've been producing over this last year. Some more hard Techno, some with more atmospheric moods.

My story is just beginning. I started by falling in love with a fast pace with all my dark soul. Music is always with me. I listened to a lot of interesting information and mixes and studied each of their steps. Then I experimented with mixing 3-4 tracks at once, and I take only what I like into a set of tracks. I think that you should always work at the DJ's desk. I'm not afraid to experiment with periuding performances on stage. The constant creative process in extreme conditions is a new good experience. Inspiration is always with me, you can draw it all the time wherever I am.

Interview with the artist :
Virtual Underground : How has this SRVNT story started?
SRVNT : My love for music and djing started a long time ago influenced by my older brother, who had his equipment at home, and who taught me how to mix using turntables. The learning process with the beauty of the vinyl made me feel a strong connection with the idea of mixing different tracks and make them sound cool together. Years later, I attended a techno party and, although I already knew a little about techno, that night I felt a strong connection with it and with the environment, and I felt the need to start playing it.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from?
SRVNT : As a DJ, it mainly comes from listening and discovering music continuously, -either techno or other genres in electronic music- following my favorite artists, their sets, their releases…
Also, my closest friends who feel music the same way as me can inspire me too.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process?
SRVNT : I made a playlist with around 40-50 tracks based on the kind of sound I like the most, and how I wanted the set to be, but this can change as they are influenced by my mood in that period too, it depends, sometimes I feel better playing more kind of deep techno in lower bpms or vice versa.
Generally, I like to start with some dark ambient to get into the mood and little by little playing heavier tracks, mixed as I felt they should be in that moment, and finishing with a tune that could stay in your head afterwards.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set?
SRVNT : I recorded the set at Pirate Studios in Manchester equipped with 3x CDJs 2000nxs2 and DJM900nxs.
VU : What are you working on right now?
SRVNT : I have started to produce recently, and I feel motivated with it, but it is too soon to talk about results.

Interview:
Virtual Underground : How has this RAMKKA story started ?
RAMKKA : I have been djing now for about 15 years but when I started producing at the beginning of this year I decided I finally needed to create an alias for myself
as my own name isn't one that is going to stick out or be memorable. I chose a few different names and I kept coming back to RAMKKA so I ended up sticking with that one.
VU : Where do you generally draw your inspiration from ?
RAMKKA : From listening to some of my favourites DJs live sets, podcasts and their new releases. I find DJs that play the same brand of techno as myself and I work my way through their
mixes to find new tracks and to find new ways of making my sets more unique each time I turn on the decks. I find watching Oscar Mulero play to be my biggest inspiration at the minute.
VU : Could you describe your music selection and mixing process?
RAMKKA : When recording a mix I generally create a set of around 20 - 25 tracks, choose a track I want to start the set with and then start recording. After that I just decide while playing
which track I feel is going to fit the mix best next.
VU : Which software/hardware did you use for this set ?
RAMKKA : For this mix I used a Pioneer DDJ-400 and Rekordbox. I am uprgading my controller soon but I will be sticking with Rekordbox as I find it the most intuitive software for djing.
VU : What are you working on right now ?
RAMKKA : I'm currently working on my third EP with my first already out on Truc Records and my second to release on Nomad Species in October. I also have a number of podcasts lined up
for the coming months so I'm keeping myself busy but I'm always looking for new and interesting projects.
