There are legends, and there are legends, and when it comes to progressive house music, EDX blows them all out of the park. An absolute icon and musical sensation, this year’s Miami Music Week allowed us to catch up with the man who’s been keeping us all on the dance floor for decades and find out what we can expect next up in the pipeline.
If you’ve yet to listen to EDX, you’re missing out. Since his earliest debut in 1994, his music has been pushing the boundaries of the house genre and gaining international acclaim. As the #1 Swiss artist on Spotify, it’s hardly surprising that fans are clamoring for new music, and here at Nexus Radio, we were only too excited to find out what could be coming next.
"I've been producing a lot of music over the last months, and there's a lot of stuff lying around. There are some collaborations down that I'm aiming for and some stuff ready to go in the box, but I'm still undecided about which will be the next single".
EDM has changed a lot over the years, and who better to ask about the genre’s evolution than a man who’s been active in the scene since the ’90s? In his words, genres are “a turning wheel” that comes and goes, but technology changes, and as technology changes, new opportunities open up for musicians.
"But, connected to electronic music, you have a kind of subculture developed in the early '90s in combination with these house raves. People from all over the place got together, and no matter who you were or where you were from, this was just something new that you could experience. Every weekend you went to one of the events, and you could see the same people. Even if you didn't know their names, you recognized them."
Thirty years on, he says that the internet and digital distribution have changed so much about the music world, but trends keep coming and going as they always have.
Wrapping things up, EDX reflected that it was not our first and certainly wouldn’t be our last get-together. But, of course, for us at Nexus Radio, it’s always a pleasure to speak with someone so integral to the genre, and we can’t wait to find out what’s next for this iconic artist.
