![]() I think it was a very interesting period for music. I’m really into that 80’s/early 90’s shoegaze sound and the new romanticism movement. Is there any such actual influence on your work coming from these music genres? The thick, dream-like ambience of your music reminds me of shoegaze/dream pop bands such as Slowdive or My Bloody Valentine. I really respect both of these labels and we’re good mates so I’d like to continue to work with them in the future. It’s all about the music regardless how many fans you have on soundcloud or whatever. I really like the aesthetic of the label and the fact that it didn’t get recognition by signing big name producers to their roster. I’ve sent him a bunch of tracks and that’s how Raw Energy came together. Soon after my debut release on Farbwechsel Jimmy from Lobster Theremin contacted me if I’m interested doing an EP for them. I think it was a natural process that they decided to continue as a record label and me releasing my debut album with them. Everyone was sitting on tons of tracks waiting to be release and nobody was really sending them to labels. We were just a bunch of guys sending music to each other, hanging out and drinking beers (well, I guess we still are). ![]() Back than they were only functioning as a blog. It all started when I became friends with the guys from Farbwechsel. Which of these do you consider to be your home label, and how and why did you start working with them in the first place? Your music is put out mostly by the Hungarian record label Farbwechsel and the London-based Lobster Theremin, which I believe is where your debut EP Raw Energy was published, too. Also, I was born in Slovakia so it felt right to work with a label there. I liked the idea so I was happy to be involved. One day he hit me up and told me about his idea for the split release. He invited me to play before Laurel Halo in Bratislava and we kept in touch afterwards. Juraj from Exitab/Proto Sites liked the tape I did for Farbwechsel. How did you first start to collaborate with the Slovak label Proto Sites? Can you tell us a bit about the split release with Casi Cada Minuto? Were there any complications or disagreements? I think it’s a bit chunky and bass heavy these days (smiles). Hazy is the word I often hear from people. It is hard to describe your music in words. The following interview with Imre was conducted via e-mail. His work was noticed by Jimmy Asquith, head of the London-based Lobster Theremin, which led to release of the Raw Energy EP, while the Slovak label Proto Sites put out a vinyl split release with Casi Cada Minuto, A-Sites. In 2013, his debut record Midnight Wave was released on the Hungarian label Farbwechsel. Imre is part of the emerging new wave of Hungarian house/techno scene, along with producers like Route 8, Alpár or S. He then returned to Budapest, where he and his cousin founded Atelier Kiss. ![]() In 2008 he moved to Ireland where he stayed for a year before moving on to London, where he freelanced as a designer until 2013. He was born to Hungarian parents in Šamorín, Slovakia, but at the age of fourteen left to study in Budapest. Imre Kiss is a music producer and graphic designer based in Budapest, Hungary. ![]()
