Read the RXXX Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
I'm RXXX!
I'm an 18 year old producer from germany, I actually stick to Trap & Dubstep the most, but i do all kinds of music, literally depends on my mood, my feels and my inspiration!
I´d describe my style as modern, with a touch of the good old days!
One of my songs, which is more modern than old-ish is this: https://soundcloud.com/rxxxmusic/rxxx-poltergeist
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
Most of my style comes from people like: Skrillex, Aevi (This dude's killing it), Virtual Riot, and Zomboy. But mostly the old stuff they did. My gf, is also a huge influence for me!
As you see, i most likely stick to the old-dubstep style. Because of skrillex, i actually started producing music.
Sounds weird, but i was listening to a Skrillex-Growl in his song "Syndicate" and i was like "Holy shiet, how does he do that, i wanna do that too!" and thats when i firstly started off with FL Studio, before i switched to Ableton 2 years later, i still use both, but Ableton is defintely bae!
What´s new right now?
Nothing much atm, i'm working on a few songs, and it may be an EP-Release i´ll do in a couple of months, depends on my motivation in the next days/weeks, i'm definitely hyped for what i´ll come up with.

What is your number one tip to improve your music production or songwriting skills?
Keep doing what you want, don't stop ´cause theres something you "messed up". I had that situation too often, but you can make everything out of everything. Just keep going.
