Hi, Sander! Congrats on the release of ‘Timewarp’! How are you doing?

Hey there, nice to meet you! Thank you for your nice words. Doing great here, hope the best for you as well.

We would love to hear about the inspiration and concept behind this track, ‘Timewarp.’

The initial direction of the track was actually different, I was experimenting with some different elements, even specific for other sub-styles, and simply at some point, there was a creative spark which gave this direction to the track.

What is your favourite stand-out moment in this piece?

The melodic/vocal breakdown which evolves into the main section of the track where the snare roll and piano kick in, I consider this the most intense part of the track for me.

How would you describe ‘Timewarp’ to a first-time listener?

Immersive, melodic, and atmospheric, taking the listener on a journey.

Were there any musical influences you pulled from to create the sounds in this track?

The track has a blend between Melodic Techno, Future Rave and a touch of Trance flavour – basically, I wanted a track with a higher level of energy but at the same time I really wanted to keep a deepness and an atmospheric presence in it.

Did you collaborate with a vocalist on this track? And were there new instruments or sounds you experimented with in this piece?

The vocal is adapted from an existing sounds library, I simply felt that the vocal approach was a good fit for my track. There are a few new sounds that I’ve experimented with, as I’ve bought in World music elements (this can be felt mostly at the breakdown).

What about this track is different compared to your previous releases, such as ‘Into The Abyss’?

The energy and deepness are much higher and more intense, and, besides this, the vocals are what give the track a new direction. Speaking about the vocal, another difference is having two mixes, a vocal one and a Dub Mix for those listeners who don’t want lyrics and simply want to enjoy the melodic playfulness and deepness of the breakdown.

What about ‘Timewarp’ defines your distinct Melodic House and Techno sound?

Blending between melodies, energy-sustaining synths, the atmosphere and the evolving groove throughout the track are the defining ‘ingredients’ of my sound.

Did you learn something new while producing this track?

Every production of mine has new knowledge attached to it. Specifically, in this track, it was to find a better approach for balancing multiple vocal atmospheric elements around the main vocal element.

What is next for Sander Wilder? Any more releases coming up soon? Thank you for sharing more with us about ‘Timewarp’!

Yes, actually, I have a very good period coming up from a Producer perspective – there are another 2 tracks locked up for release, you’ll find out more on my social media about release dates. Thank you – happy to share insights with you about the ‘Timewarp’ release.
