Wasback Unleashes Creative Energy in New Single 'Be Loud'

Italian DJ and producer Wasback is rising rapidly in the hard techno scene, known for his unique blend of hardstyle and rave culture. With an impressive roster of support from industry heavyweights like Nico Moreno, Winson, Ben Nicky, and Coone, Wasback's music resonates on some of the world's largest festival stages including Tomorrowland, Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, and Ultra Music Festival. His performances have captivated audiences from the World Club Dome's Main Stage to iconic venues like Bootshaus and Ministry of Sound, solidifying his reputation as a formidable presence in the electronic dance music landscape.

In a recent interview with YourEDM, Wasback spoke about his latest single, ‘Be Loud’, released on June 26, emphasizing how it embodies his growth as an artist and his commitment to authenticity. He reflects on the challenges of defining his sound in today’s multifaceted musical environment, acknowledging that while he primarily identifies as a hard techno artist, his influences stem from a mix of genres including hardstyle and hardcore. He expresses, "It’s almost impossible to define an artist within a single genre...everything becomes a mix of influences."

Wasback's artistic journey began at a young age, drawing inspiration from the hard-hitting energy pivotal in hardstyle and early rave music. This early fascination with powerful beats and intense soundscapes has evolved and solidified into his current music, infusing his work with the same raw energy that first captured his attention. As he describes the creative process behind ‘Be Loud’, he explains that the collaboration with two German artists allowed him to inject his signature sound into an initial idea that was lacking his characteristic energy.

Production for Wasback isn’t limited to the studio; instead, his experiences on the road significantly shape his work. He recounts how traveling and performing at various events enable him to gauge the crowd’s reactions, influencing his music creation on the go. He notes, "Playing gigs helps me a lot because I can see what really works in the crowd, where I should create tension, or where it’s better to leave space."

Reflecting on his recent performances, Wasback highlights his experience at the World Club Dome, where he performed on a 360-degree main stage setup. The event provided him with a unique connection to the audience, enhancing his performance and overall creativity. As he moves forward in his career, he emphasizes the importance of remaining authentic in the changing landscape of hard techno, recognizing that staying true to his roots will be crucial for his growth as an artist.
