YELLOW-STRIPE (YS) – What do you want to show with your music?
PROKET - Its all different. I used to represent some technogenic worlds, space technology in my tracks. These days i am more into universe energy if you want, the energy wich is around us, the one we consist of.

YS – You are certainly one of the innovators of Techno or Technoid Drum and Bass. Lately some producers have started to dislike the term, what about you?
PROKET - I do not dislike that term, because i see techno drum and bass in a different way. Most of producers dislike it cause that sound is changed, it got worse actually, its just all about stupid drum loop and stupid bleep on it. Everyone can do such a track in 5 min. Offkey used to make techno drum and bass in a proper way, in a way we can call it techno drum and bass.

YS – Tell us about your biggest influences and themes of your music.
PROKET - If you mean some artist, then its Konflict, Cause4Concern, Stakka&Skynet, Ed Rush&Optical, Dom&Roland. These guys are legends. Other inspiration is about my interests, wich is space, world, nature, people. When you making track, its like you building some new planet or star with its own unique world.

YS –Is the Prode collective definitely over or will we see its return?
PROKET - KGB is still watching you haha. I dont think we gonna make something again. Although me and Denix are working on some projects together. We all still good friends.

YS – If you could name a true revolutionary in Drum and Bass, who would it be?
PROKET - Ed Rush & Optical, Sinthetix

YS – What is the purpose of the PimpMyTechno podcasts?
PROKET - Whole idea of that site is to bring interesting techno music to people, to give a chance to upcoming producers to represent their own vision of techno. You are always welcome to contact us and send some stuff over.

YS – What is your true love, Techno or Drum and Bass?

Big up!
P.S. Dont expect me playing gabba :D

YS – Looking to the future, what projects do you have planned?
PROKET - Currently i dont spend a lot of time making music, because i do all other stuff in my life, like studying and working on some other projects. Hopefully soon you will hear some of my new tracks, they are gonna be different to what you are used to hear from me.

YS – Do you have any new releases coming out soon?
