interviews
Gees: The most important is how music has the power to connect people.
Nova Sonora : Hi Gees, thanks for chatting with us today. What are your first electronic music
memories?
Gees : Hello! Thank you for having me! My first experience with electronic music was on 2010 when i
first listen to some EDM tunes , and Hardstyle music.
Nova Sonora : What was your upbringing like? Was music always at the forefront of your
childhood experiences? Please share with us some of those experiences that helped shape you as a
person and artist.
Gees: I was in music because my grandmother used to sing traditional
Cypriot music. I was always used to open cupboards and find cds and
cassettes from Dire Straits, Scorpions e.t.c.
And at the age of 8 i begun some guitar lessons for a few years. And then i
bought a drum set and use to play by my own.
At 18 i bought a dj equipment and start experimenting in my bedroom for
hours.
And these last 5 years i start to produce my own music.
Nova Sonora : How has growing up and living in Cyprus affected the music you make? Or
has it at all?
Gees : In Cyprus we have middle eastern culture, so mostly im inspired from
traditional and ethnic music.
We have great nature as well so if you stuck sometimes at the studio
session, you can go out to nature to relax.
Nova Sonora : Good to hear that the Cyprus scene is thriving. How do you feel about the
dynamics of the scene in general?
Gees: I feel it’s really good , but still room for improvement..
Nova Sonora : Iphone or Android?
Gees : Phone
Nova Sonora : How would you describe the music you make?
Gees: My music is mostly inspired by ancient or medieval cultures or ethnic music and i really like to
blend this with electronic touches from energetic synths.
Nova Sonora : And where do you make music? Do you have a nice studio?
Gees : I have a really basic home studio. With not extremely expensive equipment but i really enjoy
spending hours in it!
Nova Sonora : What’s a book you’ve read or film you watched that has left an impact on you, and
why?
Gees : It is a lot to be honest. It’s difficult to choose one.

so everyone will had great experience to remember
Nova Sonora : What are your two favorite tracks, to open and close a set with, and why?

producers out there that you might recommend on listening too?
