For me, the vibe I bring to the booth is the energy and excitement I feel deep inside of me when I am playing. It’s the excitement about the music that makes me dance and jump behind the booth. It’s like a fire is being lit in my legs.
IT’S ALL ABOUT MUSIC!
“I am interested in a lot of different sorts of vibes in the music I play. It’s mostly groovy, a bit dark, sometimes really powerful, and you can’t go wrong with some ghetto-house. The cha- llenge for me is to combine all these, seemingly random, kinds of tracks. It can be a bit technical at times but it’s mostly feeling the right vibe from your tracks and your audience. You have to be careful not to rush things and sometimes you need to play a few other tracks to get the track you want to play. These challenges make DJing extremely interesting and fun to do!”
“The most memorable moments of my career have been opening Awakenings in de Gashou- der last December and playing the Hammerha- lle in Sisyphos. Moments like these just give me so much excitement and energy. They are giving me a feeling of purpose in this world and I am grateful to be a part of this all”.
After something as special as Awakenings Locus continued her quest for sonic explora- tion. Locus Error embarked on a new frontier: music production. Collaborations with seaso- ned producers like Tripeo opened doors to new possibilities, propelling her towards her debut solo EP and international acclaim.
“I think music production has been a big
interest for me my whole life. As a child, I had a period where I composed my classical piano pieces. I was sitting behind the piano all day trying out and writing whatever came to me. Whilst growing up, I kind of lost track of it but when I got more acquainted with electronic music, I realized that becoming a producer is not something cryptical and non-accessible. I realized you don’t need a huge studio, like the ones you see on social media”.
“The challenge for me at this moment is to also get to this point as a producer. I’m learning and growing so much every day as a producer. If I listen to some tracks I made a couple of mon- ths ago, I can hear a lot of differences from the tracks I make now. This is a natural process of learning anything new I guess, but it’s been hard for me not feeling rushed in this process.
And her new remix is fire!
“My latest track is a remix of JSPR’s ‘Prospect Ave’. I was excited doing it but it was also a challenge. It was my first remix ever and also my first official track ever, so I felt some pressure to make something out of it. The first version of the remix I finished was a bit more straightforward. I played it a few times but I noticed something was missing. So… I decided to delete the who- le arrangement, add some groovy components, and start all over again with the arrangement. After I finished the new version, the track felt way more like myself, and I’m really happy I pressed the reset button on this occasion”.
LOOKING AHEAD
As she gazes towards the horizon, Locus Error’s aspirations burn bright. With dreams of playing at iconic venues like Berghain and Tresor, she remains steadfast in her commitment to pushing boundaries and challenging conven- tions.
“Currently, I’m working together a lot with Tripeo. We have been working on our collab EP for some time now and the plan is to release it on BALANS soon. We are both excited about some of the tracks we have been working on. I already had the opportunity to road-test it on some dance floors, which worked out amazing! I think it is a project where we both complement each other’s styles”. “My goals at the moment are to release my first solo EP and to travel more internationally for gigs. I would love to play more internationally to see all the different beautiful places my gigs would take me. I also really want to get back to Berlin because the time I played there was heartwarming, the open-minded people and the vibe in the club inspired me a lot. I have a long bucket list of places I want to play and labels I want to release on. This list is becoming longer and longer by the second. Dream gigs that spring to mind would be a Boiler Room set, playing Berghain and Tresor. There are so many more amazing places I want to play at, I can’t wait!”
