Interview: DJ Sunlight Release new single “Afterdark”
Q: Please introduce yourself to the readers and how you first got into this field of work –and who were some of your influences growing up?
I have been involved with electronic music since I was 14 years old, playing in clubs, but it wasn’t until 2 years ago that I started producing with the idea of transmitting sensations and feelings to the people who listen to my music. I have influences from various styles, from trance music to the most current melodic techno artists, always giving importance to the melody.
Q: What kind of training have you had, if any?
I was lucky enough to start training with great professionals already established on the international scene, and after that training, I have continued through daily practice and hard work.
Q: What has been your favourite project to work on so far?
I think this last project “Afterdark” is the one in which I have been able to transmit the most and maybe it is my favourite so far, although you get good things out of every project and have great memories.
Q: What were you looking to tell with your latest single “Afterdark”?
“Afterdark” talks about the times we live in. It is a journey from darkness to light. It starts from hell, and the song develops that struggle to get out of that darkness in which we are placed, finally coming out into the light. This song is very special to me because from the beginning I visualized it in my head and I wrote it as I felt it.
Q: What sports do you enjoy watching?
I like football and basketball above all, although I also like to watch tennis.
Q: What has been one of the biggest highlights/achievements of your career?
I think on my first release of the year “Sound of silence”, I’ve really managed to reach a large audience and it’s a song that’s doing really well on Spotify, much better than I could have initially imagined.
Q: If you had a chance to work alongside anybody who would that be?
I have a lot of artists that I look up to, and maybe in different styles I would like to collaborate with people with a unique sound like Paul Van Dyk, or in a genre more similar to what I do now, Stephan Jolk.
Q: What projects do you have coming up?
Right now I already have released in June and July to close the first half of the year, and I am still working to have three more launches before the end of the year, starting in September.
Q: Who is your inspiration?
I don’t have a specific inspiration. I’m inspired by both established artists and new artists like myself with whom we share knowledge and who I think have great ideas and a great desire to do different things. My inspiration is to be listening to music all day long. I think it’s a way to get inspiration from different places.
Q: What are your favorite venues to perform in?
I love performing outdoors, in the summer, and with people enjoying themselves. Now it’s impossible, and I try to keep doing sets on my youtube channel so I don’t lose the connection with the people and keep transmitting good vibes in these difficult times.
