From Tuscany, Italy, rising DJ and producer HAXHIA joins to share his story of passion, discipline, and musical heritage. At just 23 years old, he has already carved out a unique sound that blends disco, funk, and tech house influences while staying true to his Albanian and Greek roots. His journey began at age 13 when he discovered his uncle’s old CDJs, sparking a fascination that quickly grew into a lifelong pursuit. What started as curiosity became a deep creative calling, driven by emotion and the desire to connect through rhythm. HAXHIA describes music as a universal language—an emotional exchange between artist and audience. Onstage, he transforms from a reserved personality into an expressive performer, channeling pure energy to craft an experience rather than a setlist. Influenced by Bob Sinclar and the timeless Defected Records sound, he aims to bring melody and heart back to the dance floor, reminding listeners that authenticity matters more than hype. He speaks on the challenges of today’s fast-paced release culture, where pressure to produce weekly tracks often overshadows quality. HAXHIA believes in slowing down to refine his craft, working closely with Origami Management on both production and artistry. His recent track RM merges Balkan flutes with tech house grooves, showcasing his ability to blend cultural tradition with modern innovation. For HAXHIA, success is simple: emotional connection, creative honesty, and the joy of seeing a crowd move as one.

Toronto-based producer and label owner Peter Mac shares his story of transformation from a live event promoter to an acclaimed figure in soulful and deep house. When the pandemic hit in 2020 and his events agency came to a halt, Peter used the time to learn music production from scratch, watching hundreds of tutorials and applying his background in musical theory to his new craft. His passion led to releases across multiple labels, culminating in the creation of his own imprint, Barking Mad Music. The label, inspired by Peter’s love for deep and Latin house, showcases both his own tracks and collaborations with emerging artists, particularly from Mexico. His dedication to high-quality house music reflects a lifelong love for the genre’s roots, from Chicago’s 90s era to its current global resurgence. Peter recounts promoting early house legends such as Frankie Knuckles, David Morales, and Carl Cox, describing the thrill of helping shape dance culture during its formative years in Europe. The discussion dives deep into the modern state of the music industry, exploring social media burnout, inflated egos, and how commercialism has diluted artistic authenticity. Peter and Darran agree that while technology has transformed accessibility, it has also diminished attention spans and organic connection on the dance floor. Despite these challenges, Peter remains optimistic that true house music endures through its passion-driven community. He closes with a heartfelt message to fans: seek quality music, dig deeper, and reconnect with the underground roots that made dance culture so powerful in the first place.

His musical background arises from years of experience as an owner-operator of his independently owned music agency as a promoter and booker for house music DJs and events. Additionally, Peter attended Berklee College of Music in Boston, which served as a foundation for his musical education and training. In 2020 when Covid erupted, his agency came to a sudden halt. This disruption turned out to be a significant turning point for Peter and this is when he found his light to follow his dream and begin making music of his own. Admiring his new found career (at 55 years of age), Peter invested in the musical software and hardware so he could quickly get his new profession off the ground. With this anticipation, he was eager to start using his musical imagination and could not wait to get his creative juices flowing in order to start flourishing in his new profession. In the learning of how to create and advance as a music producer and dj, Peter found it fun to figure out all the buttons and knobs required in order for him to develop and progress. With his heart finally in the right place, the music just seemed to flow rather effortlessly and suddenly everything finally fell into place to be able to launch into his new found career. Time travel to 2023, Peter has already launched his own record label that’s quickly gaining high recognition, called Barking Mad Music. He was swiftly sorted by numerous labels and signed in the first few months of making his own productions.

Broadcasting live from Spinnin’ Records Studios in Amsterdam, Martin Jensen reconnects to discuss innovation, passion, and the evolving music landscape. Known for his hit singles and global reach, Martin opens up about Me Myself Online, his ongoing creative project that began during lockdown on Twitch and has now evolved into a high-quality YouTube series. The first episode, filmed aboard one of the world’s largest container ships, the Mary Mærsk, symbolizes his ambition to blend music with unique global experiences. He talks candidly about the hidden costs and complexity of live streaming, referencing how production logistics can reach tens of thousands of dollars just to go live—a challenge that helped him appreciate in-person performances even more. Despite his hectic schedule, Martin admits to having little routine or structure, joking about surviving on little sleep and a love for red wine over kale salads. The discussion turns toward creativity and mental balance. When facing creative blocks, he shares that spontaneity—and occasionally a strong vodka Red Bull—helps break through stagnation. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the process over chasing perfection, viewing each show as both a performance and a test of endurance. Touching on AI, Dolby Atmos, and streaming economics, Martin sees technology as both opportunity and caution. He values authenticity and artistry over shortcuts, preferring hands-on creation. For him, success isn’t measured in numbers or fame but in fun, passion, and staying inspired. His advice to rising artists: do what feels right, stay true, and never forget why you started.
