— Iva Dive: My firsts steps as a producer , was with logic pro. With this Daw I released on labels like deeperfect, roush nervous.
But with the years I stepped into ableton. With that one I released on labels as Rim , Material series Wyld card and more, influenced by the UK sound.
Shitake: Since the beginnings of Happy Techno I has always been influenced by that sound. And over the years I was able to be more comfortable with it. Perfecting the style day by day and finding myself more comfortable.

— Congrats on your upcoming release! What can you tell about it? What was the inspiration behind the release?
— The trends are working well and that's why we made 'Al Fin Amanecio' latin vocal with hard percussions and classic synth stop.
Awochu it's a totally the UK sound, so much liked by Iva, and he is really influenced by it. Classic vicals and a great groove mixed with UK basslines that mades of Awochu a very british sound.
