Locals: EAUB Interview
Who are you? How old are you?
My name is Eaub and I am a 20 year old from Gozo.
How many months/ years have you been Djing / producing?
I have been Djing for the past 9 months and I just started experimenting with producing these last 2 months.
Mention an artist that inspired you to become a DJ/producer?
There are a lot of great artists that I have been following including Brutalismus 3000, AnD, Sara Landry, Dlv, Carv, etc… and recently I have also been listening to artists that focus more on the groovy side of techno such as Beau Didier, Flits, Zisko, Chlär, etc…
Is there a local artist that you look up to and love to see play at events?
In Malta I mostly look up to INVERTED who has been constantly supporting me in my Djing journey from day 1. I have always admired his amazing productions and energetic sets. As for artists in Gozo, Damz and Nikky have been in the techno scene for a very long time and both of them are extremely talented artists.
What skills do you think DJs need to be successful?
Personally, I would say it is the ability to beat match 2 or more tracks without looking at any waveforms and using just your ears. To be a good DJ, you need to love the music and do it with passion, and not just look for profits and income or consider it as just a weekend job.
How do you stay up to date with the latest music trends?
I usually browse through Spotify or listen to the latest SoundCloud sets/releases from my favourite artists.
What would you say is the most rewarding part of being a DJ?
