“In every set, I always experiment with something diffe- rent; I don’t like to tie myself to just one genre,” he says, underlining his commitment to evolution.
For Gabbs, each performance is a learning opportunity, a chance to test new ideas while staying true to his unique style. This open-minded approach has defined his sets, making them unpredictable and engaging for his audience.
“My vision has always remained the same. As I started playing more frequently, I only received confirmation of everything I had felt before. I enjoy playing everything, while always keeping my style and flow. I approach each event also like a learning opportunity, striving to improve and do better the next time”.
Future Perspectives and Aspirations
Looking ahead, Gabbs expresses excitement for upco- ming gigs, some of which remain under wraps for now.
“Looking back, some of these dates were once just big dreams,” he shares.
On social media’s role in his career, Gabbs is pragmatic, viewing it as a tool rather than a defining factor.
“I don’t think social media are an integral part of an ar- tist’s career,” he says, but they are definitely a huge tool that helps us get known and reach a large number of people globally. I still believe that the real integral part of an artist’s career are platforms like SoundCloud and Bandcamp, for example, where the actual music pro- ducts are uploaded.”
Reflecting on the current state of the scene, Gabbs observes an increasing preference for festivals over clubs, a shift that has changed club culture signifi- cantly.
“The rise of numerous festivals is something outs- tanding that can help to spread our music with more power and try to be more accessible to more people. I love playing at festivals, and I believe they have been very important for my career and a huge inspiration for my future.
Sadly, I note that the club culture is working less than before” he notes, but he remains optimistic that both can grow without eroding electronic music’s roots.
“The audience prefers to attend a festival full of peo- ple rather than visit smaller clubs every weekend, which have been struggling lately. I hope that both sectors will grow together, without forgetting the origins of elec- tronic music”.
Finally, Gabbs highlights the importance of connecting with fans, an essential part of his performance philo- sophy.
“If the crowd responds well, it means you’re doing your job right.”
As a co-founder of Jooice, Gabbs has projects with the record label and event series. Celebrating its ninth birthday in January, Jooice has played a pivotal role in his journey. Gabbs is already planning new releases and aspires to launch his first album soon, although he remains tight-lipped on specifics.
