Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name's Gergö Kászonyi, in my artist name AdrenAlin Studio. I'm a 23 years old multi-genre (mostly dirty dubstep and riddim) producer based in Budapest, Hungary (sry for my English :P). Next to producing, at the moment I'm learning mechatronics engineering at Óbuda University in Budapest. I've started my own record label Voltage Records EDM in the end of 2013 for upcoming talents and myself, in 2016 it was followed by dubstep (riddim, dirty) based sublabel, Monster Reloaded. If I don't produce dubstep, I do UK-style garage/bassline or drum & bass (mainly neurofunk). I've released lots of singles (in lots of genres), 3 notable EPs and an album over the 7 years: Total Speed EP (2013), The Dark Noises EP (2014), I Am The Music (2014) and RIDDIM WARS Part One EP (2017). I've started in 2017 a movement named RIDDIM WARS for promoting true riddim dubstep in Hungary. My latest EP is part of this movement. My main goal is to make classic riddim great again.

Right now, I work with FL Studio 11, using built-in plugins (practice makes perfect), the only one Native Instruments Massive, dBlue Glitch, Bitcrusher, iZotope Ozone 5, various samples and my own voice too. Need no more for a perfect track ?
Before Voltage Records EDM was launched late 2013, I've done a pure mellodic drum & bass remix for Hungarian rockband 30Y and they featured on an exclusive remix compilation. Unfortunately the label (CLS Music) where my remix has been released is not existing anymore, but seriously, for me it was one of the biggest milestones in my producer career.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
The first bass-heavy genre I've learned was drum & bass around 2008 or early 2009 from the incredible Pendulum. Next time I accidentally started doin dnb on my computer – no idea why. I'm producing dubstep since 2012 – it was seriously one of the best years of this genre, nothin' but pure exciting drops, no annoying memes inside, no Rick & Morty and another samples stolen from the Internet and no presets. One of the first inspiratons in the game I've got, was from Sonny Moore, a.k.a Skrillex, in 2012 I was trying to re-create that incredible drops with my lil tools. Well, can't tell you how many influences I've had over the years from UKF Dubstep tracks through Never Say Die Records' artists to my actual fav producers like Infekt, Bukez Finezt, Herobust, Moody Good from the legendary 16bit and many more. I've always got my inspirations from big producers but never tried to copy their styles, never used any presets downloaded from Cymatics, etc. I think I am a true rebel in the scene, and guess my followers like that.

What´s new right now?
I have nothin' but lots of new ideas on my lil FL Studio and can't wait to reveal them: I'm workin on a new neurofunk tune after releasing my latest one 3 years ago, new UK Garage track, and of course new riddim drop ideas for my next EP. AND I guess you're not ready for the next Voltage Records EDM release!
I'm also waitin for my next live gig in my hometown Budapest, but first of all, I should finish my university exams ?

Are you a superfan of anyone? How did you become a superfan? Do you remember how you become a fan and what turned you into super fan? Have you ever thought about why you´re such a fan?
The guys I was talkin about in the second question are my current favs, because they're not the 1 in a million producers, they do something different, something awesome and interesting. But first of all, to praise my fellow Hungarians, the best producers are based around here. For example Wubbaduck, who has several music featured on DubstepGutter over millions of views, SirMark, my new fav bois in the scene BARTA and D!SOB3Y. Theese guys are the next generation of today's dubstep, and I'm so glad to meet them.

What was the biggest mistake you made when you started making music and what would be the number one tip you could give to a newcomer musician?
When I've started producing as AdrenAlin Studio, I haven't learnt mastering, any of my tracks were made without proof sound quality compared to my new tracks. It was all about quantity, to make more and more tracks, I used previous projects for my next ideas. There are lots of tutorials for FL Studio, mixing, sound design, learning plugins, but I never tried any of them. As I've learnt mastering as well, I realized and surprised how my sound design and mixing quality improved in the last 7 years. So scary!
If I can give some wise words for the kids: quality is always the most important thing, never post sh*t on your Soundcloud stuck on WIP phase without proper mixing, do it private, and send to my Facebook PM. And never… so NEVER change your DAW from FL Studio to Ableton (Massive to Serum, etc.) until haven't learnt the tools properly.

Get lots of producer friends around your hometown – they can help the most – and never be fake.

What has been your biggest challenge right now? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?
Basicly (over years) to finish an idea coming from my head and put everything on my DAW, that's the hardest thing. It's harder when I should concentrate on university. No free time and sometimes it's very exacting, but worth it. I needed 3 years in the university to learn my limits.
