Read the Voldex Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm Christine Sladek, further known as Voldex, and I'm a 17 year old producer from Hamburg, Germany. I started producing at the age of 12 in late 2012, mainly making Trap, Future Bass, Hardstyle, House and Chill. Throughout the years I've collected a lot of experience in the music industry and gained up to 6900 followers due to a lot of releases. Last year I've also started a label which is called "VXII Records" and over time I was able to release multiple tracks by producer friends and other really talented artists.
I've had collaborations (in tracks) with Ruby, Thomas, Thoby, Righten and many more. Also I've released tracks on labels such as MintTunes, JustTrap, Trap Network and Wolf Beats. My current DJ/Producer support contains Thomas Hayden, Shwann, Gio Nailati and SEPPIE.

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
While I started producing back in late 2012 my biggest influence was Skrillex, as for most young producers. After time I got to know the industry and figured out new sounds and new music genres that did suit me. I started listen to a lot of Monstercat artists in 2013 and was mainly working on House Music. In 2015 I've tried my luck on Trap and instantly fell in love with the genre that I used to hate the years before. I started listening to Lookas, Alexander Lewis, Instant Party and FLAGZ and slowly got to know more and more artists throughout social media. My music started getting uploaded on promotional channels on YouTube and I made one of my best friends to date which is Thomas (known as Lowkey). With him, I started producing Festival Trap Remixes and gained more publicity. To that date I'm mainly listening to Trap but also love making Hardstyle, thanks to my current idol, Atmozfears.
What´s new right now?
Recently, I've released a new Trap/Hardstyle Remix of Jochen Miller & Cuebrick's hit "In The Dark" together with Ruby and Thomas.
Also, I'll finally release an Euphoric Hardstyle track on a label called Exobolt for their "004 Compilation Album". Together with the producer and vocalist, Sekai, I've created my most emotional track up to date and I'm more than happy to finally release it the next few days. The track actually got a really emotional meaning because I made it shortly after my fiance broke up with me for private reasons. It destroyed my world and the only thing I could do was expressing my emotions making new music to free my thoughts.
I'm looking forward releasing way more tracks in the future and maybe even have my first gig next year after learning how to DJ professionally.
