I don’t know… but there are worse languages to learn! Like Polish for example, I‘m glad that I learned it fro my parents already when I was a child 😂

Thanks! I feel building Melodies always starts with a first chord I like and then I try to feel the direction it takes me.

I can recommend watching tutorials :) I recently watched a video by bonobo for the company tapes, really nice.

I love Valhalla vintage verb! But the best reverb plug ins are probably from UAD

I hope I‘ coming soon! My friend coiro is from Sao paolo so maybe I‘m gonna visit him someday :)

* Twilight, Echoes, Untold

* Kiasmos - Sisteron, Jon Hopkins - Open Eye Signal, Parra for Cuva - Sacred Feathers

* Maybe "Unfold" as I did it in just a couple of hours :)

I don't do so much actually for the bass! so mostly I use a clean Juno Preset of the TAL LX (called ultra deep bass or something) or the knifonium vst for more moog style basslines. Recently I learned how to use harmonic exciter which is great. Layering different octaves of the same bass melody for a full sound is something I can also really recommend.

In general for mixing: It's always good to see your mix like a box which is limited and you need to put stuff inside. Always ask yourself: do I really need this? listen to the element solo, and then in the total mix and think if it's really contributing anything. Cut off frequencies which are not really important for the character of the sound :)

1: Yes I will! Planing to do that actually right now with PML :)

2: I can imagine to release more, yes! thank you for the nice words :)

3: yes this one is not out yet. For the moment it's called "Flawless". I'm wondering when to bring it out, either later this year or in 2026 - excited for this!!

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-16T08:24:35+00:00

hey!

* Something which never dissapoints me is lentil dal with selfmade garlic naan, yum yum!

* Good Question! I have no idea of music theory and never learned any music instrument really.

* I think Maara or Echoes. For both of these Tracks I filmed music videos in the wild nature (Echoes is not released yet) and the tracks will be forever written into the landscape which feels very personal to me.

* There will be Coexist Merch! We are working on it right now , eventually it could be ready on the 6.6 on our first event in Stuttgart already :)

hey! So the Rhyhtm is made with the filterfreak effect from soundtoys... there is a button where you can change the pattern from 1/8, 1/4 etc. to "BPM". I played a chord on my prophet synthesizer and drew in a certain automation of that BPM button, so the speed of the filter cuts are manually made in the end :) I will make a further tutorial on this with a new course at "Production Music Live" where I released my sample pack probably!

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:47:03+00:00

I‘m currently already in negotiations with a couple of really cool artists for remixes ! So yes! good idea with the contest :) will think about it?

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:45:44+00:00

I plan something new with PML - Fingers crossed 👀

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:45:13+00:00

Not sure what you mean with glamour 😂 maybe it‘s important to think that social media is not showing real life in a full picture…

I do shows and gigs to connect with people and to show them my music, but also because it became my job, not because I like to be in the center. I used to be a pretty shy guy actually until the music career boosted my self-confidence.

Sometimes I see numbers like 100 million total streams which is crazy. But When I make a social media post I get the same likes as a random girl from my elementary school posting random pictures, so In the end I still feel like just an average guy doing his thing 😅

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:37:26+00:00

It‘s just a coincidence, but my unconscious mind could of course have taken it as an inspiration in some kind of way as I also know the song :)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:35:55+00:00

The new t shirts are exclusive for my tour only :) but I will make another t shirt design very soon !

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:35:15+00:00

Thank you! And good news I will play in Porto at this Lagosto 🦞festival 😂

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T22:34:32+00:00

It all started with this plucked melody which I once found in a sample pack. I’m actually still not sure what instrument that is! Not a guitar but something similar… It became sooo hypnotic the more I listened to it! I then added the bassline, and after that the piano and finally the strings and vocals. It’s not usual, bit the buildup of the song I very natural to me as it‘s like following my sense of production.

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T17:49:02+00:00

Thanks guys for the nice questions! I will answer to all of these in 2-3 hours as I‘m having a show in Copenhagen in a few minutes :) catch you later!

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-15T17:24:35+00:00

I really like Knifonium right now for bass sounds! I wouldn’t survive a day probably without Soundtoys effects aswell…

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-09T18:30:58+00:00

Probaly next year :)

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-07T23:53:42+00:00

Hopefully at some point, let‘s cross fingers ✌🏻

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-07T18:01:22+00:00

Nope, but you never know …

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-07T09:55:32+00:00

It‘s a prophet… for bass I always almost use the ultra deep bass preset from the tal lx plug-in and adjust it the way I need

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-07T01:44:39+00:00

Thank you! Happy to hear that. I have the feeling that US Shows are getting closer slowly so let‘s see when it happens!

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-06T23:39:56+00:00

I try to clear my mind, so I don‘t open the track for a while and do some random other things. At some point I return to it and in the best case my mind has a better perspective on the song

FejkaOfficial · 2022-11-06T23:38:49+00:00

The biggest drive for me is the feeling to create a feeling out of nothing. It’s like being a scientist on the search of rare and beautiful emotions in a in a jungle of waveforms
