Gonzalo F: I'm looking forward to express my emotions through music

— Hi! I'm really well, thanks for asking.

I'm Gonzalo F, a Techno DJ and producer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I am 22 years old.

— In 2015, because of a friend, I started to listen and to attend parties of Techno and Tech House, and I was hooked up from the beginning, and I bought my first controller that same year. After a couple of months later I started to play on underground parties with my friends, later on, I realized that only Djing wasn't enough, so in 2018 I introduced myself onto production in ARJAUS, a very known school of music production.

— Now I'm focusing on making a lot of music with the purpose to be signed on the labels that I admire since i started in this path, and also I'm looking forward to express my emotions and life through music, both on DJ sets and also my own productions.

— I realized that I wanted to make my own tracks when I was so amazed about Techno music, and I questioned myself how that sound was made, and also how the artists that I liked did that music. I found Ableton when i bought an AKAI APC40 mk2 and the program came on bundle. I didn't understand anything at the beginning so I went to a music school and I entered on that world step by step. After that, on 2020, I began to take personal classes with Martin Kinrus, which I'm still taking, and he turned to be a big mentor for me.

My style as a producer evolved from Minimal/Deep Tech to Cosmic Techno, being influentiated by artists like Spektre, UMEK, Mha Iri and Bolster. From my first track that I made to now, I noticed a huge evolution on my sound, which I am trying to master every day to reach a unique style that represents me on the future.

— Today, I found myself in a big moment of my career, making music for one of my favourite labels, also, receiving a lot of feedback of artists that I admire, and I'm really happy about that. This year, I entered on a booking agency called WAU Bookings, giving me the chance to play on more parties, and also sharing roster with big artists that I appreciate a lot.

— I have a lot of expectations about this release on SURO Records, since this EP was made of music that came from the bottom of myself. You should expect, melancholic melodies , a lot of groovy percussions that combine perfect with the synths that I made, giving place to big and heavy drops.

— I don't have a day-routine, but I produce almost every day. For the creation of new stuff I always start with the kick, which for me if a track has a good kick, it will be good. After that, I add percussions like hat, claps and more on a 8 bar loop till I found that the sounds are pretty accurate for what i want to do. Once finished the loop, I start to add synths and melodies that goes well with the stuff I did before and then I proceed to make drop and the mix as well.

— Techno scene in Argentina is really good in terms of producers, since there are plenty a lot of great producers that goes from Minimal Techno to Raw. Also, I believe that the scene isn't equal for everyone since the big clubs and big parties only choose a certain group of artists, and there are a lot of talents to be exploited.

— Thank you Suro Records for trust in my music, and also thanks to Radio Intense for this interview, besides this release I also have a remix that will see the light in February.

Stay tuned, because a lot of music is coming this year!
