Ghost Production, Co-Creation, Collaboration, Remixing, Mixdown, Mastering. Genres: Techno (Peak Time / Driving / Hard), Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic), Melodic House & Techno, and Electro.

Hey guys! I'm a Brazilian electronic music DJ and producer, and I've been working on it since 2016. I have a lot of authorial stuff released, but now I'm engaging on ghost producing in order to earn a little bit more money, as the times are quite difficult.

My own releases have been out in labels like: IAMT (Spain), Autektone (Italy), Reload Records (Spain), Layer 909 (Netherlands), Trau-ma (Portugal), Black Square Recordings (Belarus) and Nin92wo (Brazil). To hear some of these works, please head to my Beatport profile: https://www.beatport.com/artist/luizfribs/625177.

I can help you producing the entire track, co-creating if you already have an existing idea but no time to do everything, collaborating if you need someone to help you finish that song you're stuck on, remixing another producer's track, and mixing and mastering the track(s) if you need so.

Interview with Odnanref Ziul

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: One of my biggest inspirations praised one of my latest EPs, that is yet to be out this year! <3
Q: What are you working on at the moment?
A: Producing, mixing and mastering.
Q: Is there anyone on SoundBetter you know and would recommend to your clients?
A: For now, I don't know. I'm a beginner here. But as soon as I know anyone, for sure I'll do! ;)
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Both! I think analog has all its warmth, color and charm, and also it sounds less perfect. Music should not be 100% perfect as a square, and some out-tunings and out-beats give a track more life and groove. On the other hand, digital equipment allows us to create synthesis that would never be possible in analog hardware. In addition, it's usually more practical to use and make it interact with your DAW.
Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: Good quality, premium communication.
Q: What do you like most about your job?
A: I love to express my feelings through my music. It makes me realized and full. Music is my life!
Q: What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A: What label this music fits on? A: Depends on the style, genre, etc
Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?
A: Producing a song is as simple as pressing a button.
Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?
A: What kind of music they're looking for, what emotions they'd like to transport into the music, and where they want to be with that music.
Q: What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?
A: Trust the provider!
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?
A: My macbook, one MIDI keyboard controller, my headphones, my tb-303 and some food, of course! :)
Q: What was your career path? How long have you been doing this?
A: I've been producing electronic music since 2014, but my first releases came out in 2016. I am also a violinist, and started studying this instrument when I was 4 years old.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Acid-driven and obscure Techno, full of aggressive/euphoric melodies, syncopated rhythms and heavy basslines.
Q: Which artist would you like to work with and why?
A: Kraftwerk. Despite their kind of electronic music is not what I produce and release commercially, I would love to spend some time in their studio learning with them, talking about music and producing some stuff together.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: If you are about to start music production, study music theory! It can helps a lot to do out-of-the-box things while composing/producing.
Q: What type of music do you usually work on?
A: Techno (Peaktime / Driving / Hard) and Techno (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic).
Q: What's your strongest skill?
A: Arrangements.
Q: What do you bring to a song?
A: Euphory, Emotion, Darkness, Happiness, Melancholy... It all depends on my mood of the day.
Q: What's your typical work process?
A: My typical process starts by the kick. As in Techno (and all its subgenres) this is the most important component of the track, I like to start creating my own kick drum (I love Sonic Academy KICK 2 for this purpose), processing it with equalizers, saturators, compressors and distorters. Then, my next step consists on complementing the low end part, sometimes with an ultra-processed Rumble, sometimes with a strong bass line. That done, I will put all my effort on some melodies or on the drums, depending on my mood of the day.
Q: Tell us about your studio setup.
A: Talking about hardware, I have on my disposition Focusrite Scarlett 6i6, Roland TR-8S, Roland TB-303, Korg Minilogue, Arturia Drumbrute, Akai APC-40 mkII, Arturia KeyLab, Yamaha SV-255 violin. About software, I have high-end plugins from top manufacturers like: Plugin Alliance (full pack), Softube (Volume 3), SSL (Native v6), Slate Digital (full pack), SoundToys (Bundle 5), u-He Diva, Arturia (V-Collection 7 and Pigments) and more. DAW used: Ableton Live 10.
Q: What other musicians or music production professionals inspire you?
A: Reinier Zonneveld, Charlotte de Witte, Amelie Lens, ANNA, Adam Beyer, Kraftwerk, Depeche Mode, Tale of Us, Gui Boratto, Mind Against, Stephan Bodzin, Fideles, Ben Klock, Fjaak, Chris Liebing, Marcel Dettmann, 999999999.
Q: Describe the most common type of work you do for your clients.
A: Techno (both Raw and Warehouse/Peak Time), House (classic, Chicago), Melodic House & Techno, Electro and Chill Out.
