Read the M4PEX Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
Hello guys, my name is Augustin Gozales, better known as M4PEX, I’m DJ and Producer from Argentina, and I have 17 years old.
I started producing music, when I was only 14 years old hahaha, in my house and with my laptop and FL Studio. This will be sounds crazy and I know, but doing that brought many changes to my life.
I produce EDM, and sometimes Trap; and I feel very proud of my work.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Omg good question… I think it was Deorro.
Because I asked myself that day: How this guy make this awesome music? How this guy is producing music? How is this from the sounds made with a laptop? And a lot of questions more. And I decided, to investigate on my own… investigate and investigate a lot, watching tutorial videos, search forums and blogs; and I decided to buy the license of “FL Studio”, and everything started out there.
And I release my first single “Titan”, something of Bass and Druss Bass and after the release I feeling so good and excited because was my first single and feeling so proud of my work, and I said to myself: I can. So you can listen my first single on Soundcloud!
I have made mistakes, and I have been able to learn from those mistakes too and yeah hahaha, I change my tastes a lot of times hahaha, from Drum Bass to Trap, to Trap to Drum Bass again, and from Drum Bass to House, that I’m working right now.
What´s new right now?
The latest year, I signed with ‘DANCE CLOUD RECORDS’, Ltd., an independent record label partnered with AWAL & Kobalt Music Group in the United States.
They have changed my life a lot, they are so kind and very professional; and I'm working with them on my next song that will be released next month.
“Universe” is an electronic – pop song, featuring Kelii, a singer and songwriter from France, and we work so hard with this song so much.
