Optics

Nature, architecture, and art are Optics' most prominent sources of inspiration. The fact that the symmetrical structures within architecture and the pureness of nature, when consciously observed, can be of such an impact on the mind never ceases to amaze him. Both can be calming and thought to provoke at the same time. At the age of sixteen, Optics got interested in producing electronic music. Being influenced by various subgenres within electronic music, he developed an interest in both dancefloor orientated and experimental electronic music. During this phase, he started collecting vinyl records and began to increasingly attend techno events. This caused him to get in touch with some of his most admired labels and artists nowadays. Tresor, Ostgut Ton, MDR, Semantica, Arcing Seas, Token, Mote-Evolver, Blueprint, and Modularz are some of the labels that inspire most of his productions and DJ-picks.

Collecting and discovering music, be it new or old, digital or vinyl is an essential part of the passion for music. The buzz of finding a relatively unknown track, which is absolutely killer, or coming across an unknown artist with a large and dope discography keeps the drive to discover and collect alive. Also having a piece of music ready for any given moment on the dancefloor is very important to him as a DJ.
