Were you born and raised there?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Yeah, I was born and still live in Pardubice, Czech Republic. It's not too far from Prague, which is a lot more famous. We have a pretty cool culture scene in Pardubice, from folk to indie bands, hard-core, and even electronic music parties. I've also lived in Prague and Sheffield, UK, but I always end up back here. Though, Portugal's been catching my eye recently, not sure why yet :)</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>So you are a DJ too? Tell us more?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Well, I actually started DJing because of my music production. I've always been into live music and I play bass. I love messing around with sound on the computer, so I naturally started playing with synths and totally fell in love with them. DJing is super satisfying because it's awesome to see people happy and dancing. Plus, it's a lot easier to get people to dance as a DJ than with a live band.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Where do you reside for your DJ sessions?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> I don't have a regular place yet, my DJing schedule is pretty random. Usually, we plan an event with other DJs and I'll play there. I do have plans to DJ more regularly though.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>What style of music do you play out?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Mainly techno, everything from Berlin-style to acid to dark. I love a good techno bassline and a touch of classy darkness. I've also got some liquid funk and drum’n’bass in my collection that I plan to use for my gigs with 2Enough, that's a live duo I play bass and synths in.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Sounds exciting! How long have you been producing for?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> I started making tracks influenced by Leftfield and Depeche Mode about six or seven years ago when I had more time from my live gigs. Those tracks are still waiting to be released :) Since then, I've been moving more towards techno, which is what I'm really into now. I love exploring different aspects of the genre. It’s like an endless journey of discovery.</p><p>I also produce tracks for 2Enough. Hanka Venclova, the singer and songwriter there, comes up with a vocal line and some chords on guitar or piano, and I fill in the rest with synths and beats.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Man that's fantastic, you really are multi-talented. What do you feel you want listeners to experience when they listen to your work?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> When people listen to my music, I want them to feel the same thing I feel when I'm dancing to a good techno track. To get totally lost in the rhythm and weird echoed sounds. There's something deeply spiritual about it, like dancing around a fire to drums with a shaman thousands of years ago.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Agreed, this is why this genre has so many loyal fans.<strong> </strong>So tell us about ‘Echo Alchemy’? How did this EP come to be, what is your story behind it?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> When I first started making my own techno tracks, I wasn't happy with the results. They lacked something, like a good groove or tension and release. But then in just a couple of months, I managed to create four tracks that I was happy with. Not sure how that happened :) I experimented with using unexpected samples for techno, like hardcore guitars or string orchestra parts, and I think it all ended up working well together.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>That's for sure, definitely a unique sound. How many tracks are on the EP and what can we expect?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Well the EP consists of four tracks in total. The first of which, ‘Techynko’, starts with a steady kick drum and a melodic bass sequence. Then it picks up some acid techno vibes as it goes on. There's this aggressive synth in the middle that's straight out of a cyber world. The tension gets released by this soothing string harmony at the end.</p><p>The second track on the EP is ‘3AM Odyssey’. This one's inspired by an early morning in the city when you're trying to get home but end up at another party. The unique part is the heavy guitar riffs that hit during the peak.</p><p>'Dawnbreaker' comes up next and that's about a night at a rave. It starts calm but builds up to a crazy high before calming down to a fresh morning - hence the name of the track. It has some unexpected surprises and a deep sub bass line, mixed with digital synths and unique sci-fi sounds.</p><p>Last but not least, ‘Steampunk’. This one has a Japanese twist and pays tribute to the cyberpunk literature genre. The bass line is like a steam engine with some weird percussive synth noises. Dark melodies and fast arpeggios help complete the track.</p><p>I did all the mixing myself but I had S7 x Beatlab Ru44 do the final masters. They sound in line with the rest of the labels releases and really make things sound great!</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Is it out soon, where can we get it?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> The EP releases the 13th July 2023 but we've also prepared a bit of a surprise with the release of an accompanying mixed version which Sean Sever was kind enough to put together for us. You can pre-order both of these already! You should also come to our free listening session the 12th July. We'll be there to listen to the mixed version of the EP</p><div style="margin:0 auto;width:800px;"><figure class="table"><table style="border:1px dashed #ff781f;">

I sent demos to five or six labels that were accepting them, and I got two positive replies. S7 really stood out because they gave very detailed feedback on each track. I was so impressed, I didn't even think about the other label. And let me tell you - It’s been fantastic so far.</p><p>The label has helped me get the tracks onto all platforms, made great visuals, and handled the promo. We keep in touch regularly, and they always keep me updated.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Thank you for the kind words, we love what we do. So do you have any other unreleased works/productions we haven't heard yet?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Yeah, I've got a few new techno tracks that are pretty much ready. I tried to explore different techno sub-genres like tech house or hard techno. They might be better off as singles rather than an EP, but we'll see. </p><p>Maybe some of my next tracks will match well with them.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>Keep experimenting with different sounds and continue to tell your story. Can we catch you at a party anywhere this summer?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> I'm keeping this summer kind of free for travel and spending time with my kids. I'm planning to play some stuff in Pardubice in the middle of summer, alongside a 2Enough gig. I might also hit a couple of outdoor electronic festivals. We're planning more regular parties with my DJ friends, so hopefully we'll figure out a good format by Autumn.</p><p><strong>A&R ~ </strong>What's next for you on your musical journey?</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> I really want to get more hardware synths, especially some analog ones. I think my next thing might be a live synths setup. My friend Sandy (Monostop) does something like that, and it's really interesting. I also like Saytek Live and other acts like them.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Thank you for taking the time to catch-up with us today. Looking forward to hearing more from you.</p><p><strong>Wattikan ~</strong> Well you won't need to wait too long! I'd like to have something ready by September.

It's a pleasure to be here.</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> Thank you for having us. We're excited to discuss Sean's unique style and contributions to the techno genre.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Sean, let's start by exploring your journey in the electronic music industry. How did you first get involved, and what drew you to the techno genre specifically?</p><p><strong>Sean Sever ~</strong> My journey into the electronic music industry began during my teenage years when I discovered my passion for experimenting with different sounds and creating my own music. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the possibilities that electronic music offered, and I found myself naturally drawn to the energy and complexity of techno. I mean I started way back in the fast / impulse tracker days (google it!)</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> Sean's dedication to his craft was apparent from the very beginning. We noticed his raw talent and unique approach to blending different elements within the techno genre. It was this distinctiveness that caught our attention and made us want to work with him.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Sean, could you tell us more about your process of building up your unique sets? What are the key elements you consider, and how do you ensure that your performances leave a lasting impact on the audience?</p><p><strong>Sean Sever ~</strong> For me, building a set is like constructing a sonic journey - heavily inspired by my own experiences. I aim to take listeners on a captivating and immersive experience by carefully selecting tracks that complement each other in terms of mood, energy, and progression. It's crucial to create a flow that keeps the audience engaged while surprising them with unexpected twists and turns along the way. I keep it authentic though, I never play sounds that aren't genuinely me.</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> Sean's sets are truly a work of art. He has an innate ability to connect with the crowd and create a unique atmosphere on the dance floor. His attention to detail, seamless transitions, and well-crafted track selection are what set him apart and leave a lasting impact on the audience.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Sean, your style within the techno genre has been described as unique. Can you elaborate on what makes your style stand out, and how do you believe you've contributed to the techno genre as a whole?</p><p><strong>Sean Sever ~</strong> I believe my style stands out due to my willingness to experiment and push boundaries within the techno genre. I'm constantly exploring new sounds and incorporating diverse influences into my music, which allows me to create a distinct sonic signature. I strive to strike a balance between driving rhythms, intricate melodies, and atmospheric textures, creating a rich and immersive experience for the listener. There's always a bit of cyber / hacker culture influence in my tracks and implore you to listen out for it.</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> Sean's contributions to the techno genre have been significant. His innovative approach has we're sure inspired both new and established artists alike. Through his releases and selective performances, he has managed to inject fresh energy into the genre from his perspective while respecting its roots, earning him a small but dedicated following and the respect of his peers.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> It's clear that you've made strides in the techno scene and I'm sure you've got a lot more to contribute to it. As we wrap up, what can we expect from Sean Sever and the S7 Independent Record Label in the future?</p><p><strong>Sean Sever ~</strong> In the future, I plan to continue refining my sound and exploring new sonic territories. I have some exciting collaborations in the works, with fellow producers, which will add new dimensions to my music. Additionally, I'm looking forward to releasing more original tracks and connecting with fans through underground performances.</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> As a label, we're committed to supporting Sean's artistic vision and providing a platform for his growth. We have a line-up of releases scheduled, featuring both Sean's solo work and collaborations with other talented artists. We're excited about the future and can't wait to share our upcoming projects with the world.</p><p><strong>A&R ~</strong> Thank you to both of you for taking the time to speak with me today. We wish you all the best in your future endeavours and look forward to witnessing your continued success in the electronic music industry.</p><p><strong>Sean Sever ~</strong> Thank you for having us. It's been a pleasure.</p><p><strong>Label Manager ~</strong> Thank you for the opportunity.

<p>With that said here are five tips to help keep you motivated to create music</p>
<ul> <li>First the foundation - Set specific, achievable goals for yourself, such as completing a new song or learning a new skill. Having a clear objective can help keep you focused and motivated to see your project through to the end. <br> </li> <li>We all have busy lives but music - music is important to you. Make time for music-making every day, even if it's just for a few minutes. Consistency can help keep your creative juices flowing and original thought processes alive. <br> </li> <li>Surround yourself with other musicians and artists. In this day and age, there really is no limit to collaboration online. Collaborating with others and being part of a creative community can help inspire and motivate you.<br> </li> <li>Creative burn-out is a thing. So take breaks when you need them - it's your judgement call when the time is right. It's important to rest and recharge so that you can come back to your music with fresh energy and ideas.<br> </li> <li>If there's nothing else you take away from this article, take this point away. Celebrate your accomplishments, no matter how small. Recognizing your progress can help keep you motivated and encourage you to keep on going.</li>

Secondly, all the professional artwork and materials are handled for you. Then there's the question of the release schedule and co-ordinating an effective worldwide release that hits the right notes ]</p><p>[ The bottom line is, unless you've got the time to handle the entire process end-to-end yourself, you should rather focus on getting your demo's out to labels so that they can help you grow or at the very least offer you some critical feedback to improve your productions ]</p><p>[ If you'd like to keep up to date on these types of articles and our label releases you should be <a class="no-pjax" href="/newsletter" data-link-type="page" data-link-label="Newsletter" contents="signing up to our newsletter">signing up to our newsletter</a> ]</p>S7 Independent Record Labeltag:s7records.com,2005:Post/70859022022-10-22T00:39:51+11:002022-10-22T07:48:01+11:00Label Releases on Spotify<p>[ We've added our label releases playlist showcasing our release catalogue on Spotify.

Sean Sever and Motikko of the duo +one are working on releasing three new versions of this track and plan to release them as singles as well as part of an EP / mini album soon. Soon as in 1 November 2022 🔥 ]</p><!-- more -->
<p>[ Two remixes, one for pre/post peak time and another to slot in your peak time sets, are nearing completion alongside an original remaster aiming to improve audio fidelity of the original live performance ]</p>
<p>[ +one has been incredibly resourceful in getting out these two remixes without having any access to an original project or stems 🤯 ]</p>
<p>[ The source material that they worked off of was a previous master of the original recording. It was somewhat bass heavy with indistinct vocals and presented with audio artefacts 😱 ]</p>
<p>[ These new tracks were sent over to beatlab RU⁴⁴ for mixing and mastering and from what we've been able to listen to so far internally sounds great! Great job to both +one and beatlab RU⁴⁴ for getting this sounding so good! ]</p>S7 Independent Record Labeltag:s7records.com,2005:Post/70286112022-08-02T08:57:19+10:002022-08-02T09:00:12+10:00Fallout<p>[ It's here! "Fallout", the second release by Sean Sever and Motikko (of +one).

<p>[ The track has plenty of sonic ear candy to offer. Once the gas has entered the room and the sirens go - all bets are off the table as to what happens next ]</p>
