Hello my name is Carl, im 27 and a UK based producer with my main focus on Progressive House style music, i started creating music from around the age of 14 so have been doing it for some time now, from the beginning i was only creating music for my pleasure as i was never confident that my music was of a high standard.
I then started to grow confidence in what i did and therefore starting to show close friends and family, with the positive feedback i received i decided to create a Soundcloud account – https://soundcloud.com/djequaleyes/eq-he-who-dares-played-on-bbc-radio
https://soundcloud.com/djequaleyes/eq-highway-12

After uploading only 3 tracks onto my account i also the decided to upload them to my local BBC radio station and to my amaze i was fortunate enough to have all 3 of the tracks played live on air at different times, this was indeed a 100% hit rate which was amazing.
I feel my music has progressed from what it used to be as i now take a lot more time time and care in what i do, not to mention furthering my knowledge in music production, whereas before it was purely a hobby. Now its more something i would love to take further and start a career out of.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Upon starting production i was heavily influenced by Hard House/Hard Trance/Trance/Hardstyle, i then came across Progressive House music which definitely was my preferred genre and have purely focused on this moving forwards.
I feel as though Progressive House music is the perfect genre for a nice chilled laid back style of music but can also be something that makes you want to get up and dance.
Definitely a euphoric genre!!
What´s new right now?
I am always working on new material but am very cautious as to what i put out, being quite a perfectionist it can become very hard for me to create what i feel to be the perfect track,
I am always inspired by my day to day events in which i can then incorporate into my newest track or an experience from my past in which the emotion can also be used – Being happy or a more relaxing style of track.
