Read the You Go SLAVIA! Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm You Go SLAVIA!, I come from Bosnia and I make synthwave. Synthwave is a cool mix of movie soundtracks and music from the 80's and French disco. It relies heavily on synths and drum machines to achieve it's 80's sound. One day my friend sent me a link to HOME – Resonance and I was simply blown away how cool it sounded. I had since then stopped listening the conventional EDM (dubstep, house,…) and started listening synthwave.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
When I first started doing this, I got inspiration from HOME. I wanted to make songs like him, but I never got close to making anything like him. Then I started listening to Com Truise, Tycho, Washed Out etc. I have listened to a bit of Pertubator and Carpenter Brut, too. I will still strive to get close to HOME and Tycho, but for now I will try to make my own style.
What´s new right now?
I am currently working on an album. It should come out in the summer, but I don't promise anything.
