If you follow the news of the label, you must know his name. He first appeared in the « Gearbox presents Lockdown 2.0 » compilation with his song « You Don’t Know », however it is especially thanks to « Shut Down » and his unique style that he started making a name for himself. But who is the person behind this alias? Well, many of you already know him under another name because is none other than Orian, a uptempo producer for Triple Six Records with DRS, MBK, R3T3P and Trespassed. So Juice agreed to answer a few questions for us to discuss a little bit more about himself and his next projects.
1- First of all, thank you very much for agreeing to do this interview. Could you tell us a little bit more about yourself for the readers who may not know you yet?
You’re welcome, thank you for contacting us. My name is Orian, I am 21 years old and I live in Lyon. I have been music for about three years under my pseudonym Orian and I started making music under the pseudonym So Juice six months ago.
2- How did you come up with the idea to produce Raw/Xtra Raw music?
It is a style that I have been wanting to experience with for a while but until recently I wasn’t really inspired.
3- What are your influences and inspirations for this style?
With raw nothing really original honestly, it’s mostly Gearbox. I love Rebelion and Malice circa 2017-2018. Apart from that I have a lot of house and bass-music influences, I mix it in most of my breaks under So Juice.
4- Could you tell us more about your next projects with your So Juice alias?
Well right now with Covid-19 ther’s nothing exciting unfortunately but a lot of releases planned.
5- How did you fall in love with music?
Well I used to draw a lot and one day I tried to compose and I really liked it. Since then it’s what take most of my time. But I’ve always needed some form of artistic expression.
6- Can you tell us more about your experience with Triple Six Records.
I did my very first collab with Nstinct (formerly known as Bass Instinct) in 2017 and he had contacts to release it on TSR. A few months later we were signing with them. Everything goes really well since then and I owe them a lot and particularly to Junot (DRS).
7- Do you have any other projects under your other pseudonym Orian?
For now Orian is on hold. I needed a break with hardcore (Covid-19 came along at just the right time in this instance). And it gives me time to develop So Juice.
8- What’s your best memory at an event?
Gearbox 10 years without a doubt, it was as just as incredible as a guest than as a professional.
9- Any last words for your fans?
Thank you for your support especially right now, without you, we as artists would be nothing. I hope to see you again very soon at parties !
