In a thoughtful conversation at the Nexus Lounge, Denmark-based DJ and producer Terry Golden sat down with Aron from Nexus Radio to discuss creativity, connection, and the realities of building a modern electronic music career. Having returned to Amsterdam year after year, Terry Golden spoke warmly about the city’s energy and the ever-growing circle of friends and collaborators that continue to inspire him.
The discussion touched on Terry Golden’s recent travels and his forward-looking focus: networking, sharing new music, and opening doors to more international gigs. With performances spanning from Portugal to Argentina, his momentum shows no signs of slowing. He also teased upcoming projects, including a collaboration with Alexander Pop, keeping details under wraps while hinting at exciting developments ahead.
One of the more candid moments came when Terry Golden addressed the challenges of social media. Sharing personal life moments doesn’t come naturally to him, yet he recognizes its importance in connecting with fans. While navigating that balance, he’s found encouragement in genuine feedback—proof that audiences value authenticity as much as the music itself.
When it comes to production, Terry Golden is clear about his creative compass: melody leads. He believes starting with a beat can box ideas in, while a strong melody gives a track emotional pull and longevity. That philosophy underpins his signature blend of melodic techno and progressive house, helping his tracks stand out on dance floors worldwide.
The interview’s lighthearted “Take Five” segment revealed Terry’s playful side. Asked what type of cheese his music would be, he chose “creamy,” and when offered a remix choice, he picked a fax machine over a crying baby. When imagining a life swap with another artist, he named The Chemical Brothers, admiring their genre-spanning versatility and unmistakable identity.
Closing the conversation, Terry Golden shared a hard-earned lesson: resilience matters. Rejection and setbacks are universal—even for top-tier artists—and persistence is the difference-maker. Staying committed to the craft, he emphasized, is how growth happens. Listen to the full interview below.
