Interviewer: How did you find each other as a duo, and what inspires you in your collaboration?

 

Re:elected: We first connected during a joint performance at an underground event. It was one of those rare moments where you instantly feel a synergy. Our shared love for techno, combined with the way we complement each other’s energy on stage, pushed us to explore this collaboration further. The more we worked together, the more we realized how naturally our creative instincts aligned.

Interviewer: What musical influences shape your sound?

 

Re:elected: Our sound draws from a broad spectrum, but we’re particularly inspired by pioneers like Ben Klock, Chris Liebing, and Rødhåd. Beyond just their production techniques, we admire how they push boundaries and continuously evolve the genre. We also look to older techno influences, and sometimes even genres like ambient or industrial, to bring something fresh into our sets.

Interviewer: How do you choose your tracks for your sets?

 

Re:elected: It's all about creating a journey. We don't just pick tracks we love; we consider how each song contributes to the overall narrative of the set. Whether it's building tension or offering release, every track has to serve a purpose. We also leave some room for spontaneity—feeling the energy of the crowd sometimes inspires us to shift directions mid-set.

​

Interviewer: How do you deal with unexpected technical problems during a performance?

 

Re:elected: Technical issues are inevitable, but we see them as part of the live experience. We always carry backup equipment and make sure we're familiar with the venue’s setup. If something does go wrong, we adapt quickly, whether it's shifting to an alternative setup or even playing an impromptu live jam. It's all about staying calm and turning a challenge into an opportunity.

​​

Interviewer: What are your goals and plans for the future?

 

Re:elected: We want to expand beyond just performing. Producing original music is a big part of our next steps, but we’re also focused on curating our own events and maybe even starting a label. Long-term, we aim to bring more innovation to the techno scene, collaborating with visual artists and other musicians to create immersive experiences that go beyond just the music.

​​

Interviewer: How do you define the term "techno" in your own style?

 

Re:elected: To us, techno is much more than a genre—it's a framework for expression. We see it as an evolving conversation between rhythm and atmosphere, always pushing forward but still rooted in a kind of primal energy. Our style is about balancing the hypnotic and the intense, crafting a space where people can lose themselves and find something deeper within the sound.

​​

Interviewer: Can you give us an insight into your creative process when producing your own tracks?

 

Re:elected: We usually begin with an idea or sound that sparks something. It could be a synth line, a drum pattern, or even a field recording. From there, we dive into experimentation, layering textures, and playing with effects until the track begins to take shape. A lot of our process is about letting the sound lead us, rather than forcing it in a certain direction. Sometimes we’ll revisit an idea months later with fresh ears, and that’s when the magic happens.

​​

Interviewer: What role does the audience play for you, and how do you adapt your sets to the mood?

 

Re:elected: The audience is crucial. They’re like the third member of the duo—constantly feeding us energy. We read their responses throughout the set and make adjustments based on that feedback. Sometimes a crowd is ready for something deep and hypnotic, other times they want pure, high-octane energy. We aim to find that balance and keep them on their toes, all while staying true to our sound.

​​

Interviewer: What do you want to convey to your fans through your music?

 

Re:elected: We want our fans to feel a sense of liberation when they listen to our sets or tracks. Techno, for us, is about freedom freedom of movement, freedom of thought. We hope to create a space where people can let go of everything, be present in the moment, and connect with something deeper, both in themselves and in the music.

​​

Interviewer: How do you deal with song requests that don't fit your set?

 

Re:elected: It’s rare that we get direct song requests, but when it happens, we try to engage respectfully while staying true to our flow. If a request aligns with where the set is heading, we might incorporate something similar, but our main priority is curating an experience that feels cohesive. Often, people trust us to take them on a journey, and that means sticking to the narrative we've built.
