Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
„Individualist“ is a Deep House production duo based in Germany. Wayne from South Africa and Rob from Canada, met coincidentally in front of Rob’s studio and from that day on, started their journey making music together. Wayne and Rob have now been producing their own music for several years for various labels in Germany, Switzerland and the USA and have released songs on all digital platforms. We try to cross the electronic world of Synthesizers with live instruments such as guitars, bass, pianos and even the harmonica. Our musical journey has changed over the years and now we believe we are starting to find our unique style. We are now bringing elements from Africa such as vocals and drums to add a unique touch to our music and this will be our direction for the next coming years.We believe that music is an expression of freedom, freedom of mind, body and soul and music allows us to express ourselves as individuals.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Our influences, and inspirations have been changing since we started making electronic music. When we started producing, I don’t think we really had a plan or a goal and now over the years this has all changed. I mean, in the beginning we just loved to sit down and make something, whatever it was, was a great feeling. But was it what we really wanted to express. We had to look deep down into ourselves and needed to create an identity and it has taken us nearly three years to find our true sound. As a music producer there are many situations where sometimes you feel lost and really don’t know which direction to take. This has been the hardest obstacle for us, but we have finally realised that we need to create music that comes from home, where we grew up and therefore we can express our feelings truly through our music. So now we try to incorporate elements from South Africa and Canada, whatever they may be.

What´s new right now?
So at the moment we are working on a new EP. It will be called WA WA NE and will be our first experiment with mixing live instruments and vocals with electronic beats and melodies. We will be releasing three new songs with remixes coming out of South Africa. We are very excited about this release as we feel we have found our true sound. We are hoping that we will be releasing in January 2018. We will also be playing a gig in Würzburg in January on the boat so get ready for the new beats.
