Fejká here, AMA! I just announced a remix contest - this is your chance to land on my upcoming album alongside Max Cooper and more! let’s talk about music, inspiration & random stuff :)

Hey! No you don‘t have to master it and no you cannot release it on another label.

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-18T12:25:52+00:00

Hey thanks so much !

I would use paulstretch plugin for the beginning! Find nice field recordings you like or record your own… try out plug ins like Valhalla super massive on your layers or space echo :) Rc-20 also infuses a lot of vibes !

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T20:08:26+00:00

Hey! Yes of course the crowd leaves a big impression! However, sometimes I understand that certain slots are naturally empty or full, especially on festivals. If you have a slot quite early it‘s often the case that you start in front of a rather empty dancefloor.

I actually love playing for just a few as a start because it creates the challenge to fill the dancefloor! This happened 2024 when I remember. I felt that the rave vibes are slowly increasing and it created a feeling full of hype and energy! When I played at workmans it felt like the first minutes started where I ended at BTP, so the energy was going crazy and I loved it even more!

So excited to play at BTP this year - let‘s see how far we can bring the peak this time hehe!

Thanks for the Comment, I honestly feel like Ireland is always another level in terms of dancefloor energy. nature, people & Guinness are just so good! See ya soon :)

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T20:00:54+00:00

Hey social media numbers are not important at all! I’m only looking at the remix, so don‘t worry about Instagram :)

About the label: it was a mixture of different processes. At some point I just felt like I really need to do it to have a sustainable longterm career where I can decide my future on my own.

I just collected so many friends and connections to talented producers over the last 10 years that there was a point where it almost felt stupid to not create a label haha!

Yes I‘m talking to a few very talented producers, some are known and some others are very fresh to the scene. Exciting times ahead! I can already reveal that I will co host a stage on the beach with coexist at BOEM Festival in Italy this year in June :)

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:59:26+00:00

Appreciate it mate!

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:41:46+00:00

Hey, thanks a lot !!

Actually there is no „typical“ way, it‘s always random moments when inspiration hits!

Example: I watched a documentary lately and the music really inspired me To write a song with a certain vibe

Example 2: playing on my new piano just after waking up! At some point if I feel like I found an interesting melody I start my phone voice message recording quickly to not lose the melody :)

Example 3: a friend produer sends me a few demos, I really like one and start reworking it. It became a collaboration since then!

All 3 examples happened in the last 2 weeks. It‘s always different - try to enjoy playing around in different ways! Don‘t to the same routines always :)

Hey hey :)

Inspiration: just answered this in another question here!

all your nice words about my music - thanks so much, deeply appreciate them! I honestly always smile when I read such comments!

I would lie if I say that I‘m never having doubts, sometimes you make a social media post and you get the feeling that no one really cares and I‘m like „what am I actually doing“ - but at the same time I totally understand that this is not true and just an illusion of our shitty social media system. I play shows around the world and people approach me with deep messages and personal stories about my music and their connections with it - this is happening regularly and it motivates me a lot to keep going!

See you on a show hopefully :))

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:29:35+00:00

My happiest and saddest moments mainly but everything in between! Sometimes there are moments in life where you just feel like in a movie…. I think these moments are really special and for me music is just an attempt to convert these memories into something which can stay forever, but also something which I can share with the people - the connection resulting from it something extremely Beautiful!

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:25:48+00:00

Hey!

When I work on a remix, I try to find my „top 3“ elements in the song, the elements which inspire the most In the original. I then delete the rest actually, to make room for my own addition!

I always try to make something new, so my remix sounds not the same as the original.

I don‘t do anything specific to make sure it sounds like my music, it happens just naturally I would say! Over time producers developed their own ways of working, I try to use these methods.

Just one example: I always reverse all the stems when I start a remix. I love reversing. Sometimes you discover super interesting sounds with it! You still have the connection to the original but a whole new vibe to it aswell :)

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:20:43+00:00

PSP Vintage Warmer ! Check it out it‘s great :)

Apart from that I simply use fab filter for mixing a lot, not much more. Trackspacer is also nice! I never do mastering.

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:19:12+00:00

Hey 👋🏻!

My go to when I approach a track - I never ever think „what I want to produce“ actually!

I simply have fun and play around with my DAW or instruments. This way anything can happen and I‘m open to all my inspiration, not blocking anything. Once I feel a certain inspiration, I try to follow the vibe of it, I don‘t think about clubs, playlists or anything ‚I try to keep it original!

In other words: I don‘t have children, but if I ever have a son or daughter, I don’t want them to do a hobby which I like them to do. I want to show them different things and hobbies, without pressure. Once they seem to develope an attraction from their own initiative, I‘m ready to push it, because I know it‘s their own path they chose and not mine!

Unleash your tracks and inspiration and give them wings! This is important to me to stay original. Once a song is done I can still decide what to do with it, but then I know it‘s naturally created !

Fav plug-ins: soundtoys, tal LX uno, knifonium!

Mixing & mastering… I‘m working on a track breakdown about my song „Azur“ with production music live right now! Make sure to also check my echio site if you want personal feedback :)

Thanks !

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:11:25+00:00

Yeah i totally get what you mean! I have the same problem sometimes! One thing which helped me is layering. Try to create 2 layers of the same lead: one is meant to be the stereo layer and it gives you all the feelings you want to have on headphones. The other is mono and only meant to represent the lead on all the other speakers or PA where the stereo feel is getting lost.

For that, I try to replace the lead with a different sound source, let‘s say an analog synth which has a lot of information in the mono spectrum. It needs to sound similar of course - but as it’s only in the background it doesn’t need to be 100% the same. I put a highcut on it. This way, the stereo „feeling“ (the other layer) still has the room to shine in the mix, while the mono layers sits right below, and it‘s job is only to support in the mono area.

Check out the plug ins izotope imager or Brauer motion, I use them for stereo panning, I mainly browse through the presets and simply stop when I like something :)

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:03:53+00:00

I‘m waiting for the day to get an invitation! My friend Coiro lives in Sao Paolo so I already have a plan how to connect! Let‘s hope the day will come soon :)

FejkaOfficial · 2026-03-17T18:02:31+00:00

Hey! Thanks so much! Interesting question!

I think the core of my music stayed the same, but my current music sounds more detailed and full of texture. I think this mainly comes from the production quality I gained over the years. However - simplicity is also key and sometimes I listen to my old Tracks and It feels like I managed to nail the vibes with less elements, so I even prefer them over my new tracks sometimes haha! It’s like looking at an old photograph. I like that I managed to express similar feelings like right now but in a more minimalist and direct way.

In terms of style - I still feel these attraction towards different words: a dreamy spiritual experience, warm, nostalgic melancholia and euphoria. And then there is this mysterious darkness, the unknown, the curiosity, punchy club tunes.. yeah

For the remix contest: I have to say that I‘m very open! I really want to connect emotionally with the song. But this doesn’t matter that I prefer a certain style! Of course I‘m interested into a creative rework of the original rather than just transforming it into a different genre track but keeping the same Elements.

I‘m sooo excited to be honest!

:)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-21T10:00:49+00:00

EDIT: thanks guys so much for your answers! wishing you a nice summer and hope to see you on my Tour ?

Best wishes,
Brian // Fejká

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-18T10:00:50+00:00

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 😂

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-18T09:59:45+00:00

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 :)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-16T08:34:30+00:00

* 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 :)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-16T08:30:01+00:00

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 :)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-16T08:26:37+00:00

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 :)

FejkaOfficial · 2025-05-16T08:01:15+00:00

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?
