Deckard - Video Exclusive

Deckard has been slowly but steadily honing his craft, following his debut in 2003. With a trickle of releases and remixes over the years, he's seen support from the likes of DJ Food and De:bug magazine. December 2011 saw the release of his debut album For A Better Tomorrow. Pulse is able to bring you the exclusive viewing of new track, Günesim.

Marie Chatard was able to catch up with the Munich resident to discuss his plans following the release of For A Better Tomorrow.

What moves you to do music? There’s something in my inside that drives me to do it – it’s some kind of self therapy. If I wouldn’t have my music, I definitely would have gone crazy. However, it’s not easy sometimes – since I’ve been doing music since 1998, it becomes more and more difficult to achieve a satisfying result. I’ve already tried many things, but I still want to stay creative and want to accomplish something special.

What will come after your current album “For A Better Tomorrow”? The next weeks, I will do some sound engineering and mixing for the upcoming 2econd Class Citizen album, who’s lately been doing some work together with DJ Food. His solo album will be on Equinox Records which I will try to support with my work as an engineer as well. I also had some ideas about future projects. There will new stuff by Deckard but also a new project called State 75. This will be a more dancefloor and more electronic oriented project. Since my current album is quite dark I feel like it’s time to make some music for the clubs now. [Laughs]

Are there colaborations planned for this? No, not yet. But I am definitely interested in working with other people on exciting new things.

What other things are important to you right now? My child, which will be born in April. My wonderful woman. Otherwise, reliability and respect for one another are important for me.

What type of person are you? More of the digital or more of the analogue type? Since quite a while I have been concentrating more on analogue techniques – it just sounds very beautiful. Even the facts that you are more restricted and have less comfort than in a digital surrounding were reasons for my decision. I think that too many options and possibilities can rather limit your creativity instead of supporting it. On the other hand, analog does not work without the digital so I try to combine the best out of both worlds as best as I can.
