Similarly, invitations from IIWII, Relate Radio and Zeven to become a resident DJ, F_ake to play a closing set underscored the trust and belief that others had in Moxes’ artistic vision. These gestures of support not only validated his creative endeavors but also provided him with the platform to showcase his talents to a wider audience.
OVERCOMING CHALLENGES
Yet, the path to artistic growth is seldom smoo- th, and Moxes’ journey was no exception. One par- ticularly tumultuous period came during Moxes’ participation in Hit the North—a talent program ai- med at nurturing emerging artists.
“During coaching sessions with Darko Esser who is a well-known (inter)national DJ/Producer who goes by the name Tripeo, I struggled with the pressure to conform to a specific genre at some point. I felt trapped, unsure of where I belonged in the musical landscape”.
Amidst the challenges and uncertainties, there were moments of profound breakthrough instances where Moxes’ perseverance and passion for music shone brightest. The realization that he need not adhere to any predefined notions of genre opened the floodgates of creativity, allowing him to explore new sonic territories and embrace the full spectrum of electronic music.
“Through the support of my peers and mentors, I discovered the freedom to follow my instincts and pursue what truly makes me happy. It was a transformative journey; one that ultimately led me to embrace the fluidity of house music and find my own unique voice as an artist”.
Embracing the fluidity and versatility of house music, Moxes discovered a genre that resonated deeply with his eclectic sensibilities. The realization that house music transcends genre boundaries and embraces diversity dawned upon him through hours of honing his craft within various musical realms.
“With all the hours I made, within the respective genres, I learned to read the dance floor pretty well. It’s all about giving them what they need at that moment. It’s about the dance floor, not me”.
This mindset of prioritizing the audience’s experien- ce over rigid genre constraints has fundamentally shaped his creative process and approach to music. Now, He encourages aspiring DJs and producers to step outside their comfort zones, emphasizing the importance of exploration and growth.
“See it like going to school. You might be switching buildings, getting new information, and evolving how you think, but you are still you. Just with more content”.
For Moxes, the evolution of sound is not just about experimentation but also about staying true to one’s artistic vision. He believes that continuous evolution and experimentation are essential for artists to remain relevant and inspired.
“Don’t keep yourself from seeing what the world has to offer. Open up, and let it all in. And most impor- tantly; don’t be afraid to share your thoughts and ideas”.
