EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
In an electronic music industry driven by speed, algorithms, and ephemeral aesthetics, few voices resonate as powerfully and authentically as SUPERGLOSS. A producer whose path defies easy categorization, she is
being part of the hype cycle and more focused on cultivating a sound that reflects inner clarity rather than outer noise. With a debut EP, Space Office, released on the legendary Noom Records, SUPERGLOSS has crafted a statement of intent: nostalgic yet forward-thinking, rooted in trance yet unbound by it. In this conversation, we explore not only the sonic DNA of her music but the personal philosophies that fuel her craft.
If I had to describe SUPERGLOSS in my own words, I’d call her a sonic existentialist—an artist who finds transcendence not in mimicry, but in the radical act of honest creation. Her voice isn’t just articulate; it’s textured, full of nuance, alive with both vulnerability and a fierce sense of conviction. This isn’t someone chasing stages or algorithms.
This is someone brave enough to ask the harder questions: Who am I, musically? What’s the cost of staying true to yourself? And what does trance mean in a world where everything—our feeds, our thoughts, our bodies—is accelerating?
“The changes I see in DJing and techno culture, musically and beyond, are more noticeable than ever, because they often feel extremely blatant and predictable. Whether it’s a certain mixing technique or visual aesthetic, the constant repetition of that often feels more like imitation than influence.”
SUPERGLOSS begins our
addressing the elephant in the room: the industry’s growing obsession with trends. For her, resisting these superficial shifts is not an act of rebellion, but one of preservation.
conversation by less interested in Her refusal to bend toward expectation is bold.
“Pushing boundaries or true innovation often sounds horrible and uncomfortable at first because our ears are not used to it.”
Instead, she embraces discomfort as a birthplace of originality.
“My approach is to have a sense of direction, knowing where I want the track to go musically, but without trying to reach the widest audience possible. For me, sounding generic is my worst nightmare.”
The result? A fiercely individual voice in a sea of sameness.
I think SUPERGLOSS’s opinions are, quite frankly, a breath of fresh air in a space increasingly fogged up by sameness and surface. What strikes me is not just what she’s saying, but how, with a clarity and calm that cuts through the noise. She’s neither whining about the scene’s state nor
razor-sharp in her self-awareness, and that’s rare.
Her decision to resist trend cycles isn’t framed as some punkish rebellion. It’s deeper—almost spiritual. A kind of preservation, not just of her sound, but of her sense of self. That inward turn, the questioning—“Do I connect with this, or am I just absorbing it?”—that’s the real work. It’s a level of honesty many artists never reach because the noise outside is just too loud.
“It’s easy to get caught up in this, especially when algorithms flood your timeline and streaming platforms reinforce what’s trending. But placing too much weight on external shifts can make it difficult to stay grounded artistically.”
Instead of turning her gaze outward, she chooses to turn inward.
“I ask myself: Do I truly connect with this, or am I just absorbing it through constant exposure? Does this feel like me?”
It is in this act of self-inquiry that SUPERGLOSS finds her compass. Trends, for her, are not blue- prints but gentle whispers to be interpreted.
She carries that ethos into her creative process.
“There is a huge difference between making music to be liked and making music to solely create and produce.”
So many people shy away from anything that doesn’t get immediate applause or algorithmic validation, but SUPERGLOSS leans in. She invites the awkward, the abrasive, the uncertain—be- cause she knows that’s where something real might live. That kind of thinking doesn’t just push genres forward; it protects her soul from dilution. Bottom line? SUPERGLOSS isn’t here to be liked. She’s here to be heard. And that makes all the difference.
This individuality is not without its pressures. In a world where metrics often eclipse music, comparison can be a brutal reality. SUPERGLOSS shares a moment of clarity: “I
‘Comparison is the thief of joy.’ At the beginning of my journey as a touring DJ, I was always looking at what was happening left and right, thinking that this was the blueprint for success.”
But as her career evolved, so did her mindset.
“One of the most important realisations for me was that this path is highly individual, shaped first and foremost by how you define success for yourself.”
