In this months spotlight we interview label artists Diarent, Lee Hanlon,  Jodie Poye & RIXSON on their musical influences, inspiration, motivation & creative processes into music production!

Since I was a child, I have always had a deep passion for music. One day, while listening to music on YouTube, I came across a track by Giuseppe Ottaviani. That moment sparked my love for trance music and inspired me to start producing it myself.

One day, while working on a project at my computer, I started playing around with my MIDI keyboard. Almost spontaneously, the melody for "Explosion" was born.

I mainly work with Ableton as my DAW using Sylenth and Spire to craft the sound!

 

I usually start by creating the foundation with MIDI, then gradually build on it by adding uplifting elements and refining the structure until the track feels complete.

When I create my tracks, I’m the first to be swept away by the emotions, almost as if escaping from reality. My hope is that these feelings translate to my listeners, allowing them to experience the same sense of euphoria and freedom!

We had worked on a few tracks together and really understand the emotions we are trying to portray on previous tracks. We had done some tracks based on love and losing people close to you and thought we need to try something different and that’s where Hope came about. It was a tough one to write as we had to draw on emotions around optimism for our children. It was chicken and egg with this one as I laid down the breakdown, Jodie came out with the vocals and we was like - wow, this is really got the vibe we wanted and the words are so powerful. Then I did the remainder of the track using Jodie’s vocals and emotions as inspiration on the energy and vibe we were trying to create. 

We spoke a lot on the phone and we are very similar in how we think and see things. The key here is that whilst we may not live in a perfect world and we live through so much pain, we all want the best and in our hearts, we all have it within us to build a better future for our children and beyond.

I love to write layers of melodies in the tracks I produce but this one was different and there was a lot of instruments such as different harps which gives the track and authentic feel that makes it feel worldly. Life isn’t one dimensional so the intertwining of these instruments and melodies reflects life itself on that it’s always changing and evolving. We wanted optimism as the energetic element and tried to get this through with the leads but dramatic parts reflective with the harps coming through. 

We really hope this connects with people and it can have some inspiration on how they feel when they hear it. That we are all human, we all want the same thing and hopefully this track can all least create ‘a moment’ in the listeners mind that they can imagine and reflect on!

My journey into music began in the late 90s, during a time when Trance was really flourishing as a genre. I was drawn to its euphoric melodies, driving rhythms, and the ability to create a sense of escape and emotional release. It felt like a world where sound transcended reality, and I knew I wanted to be a part of that. I started experimenting with Fruity Loops, teaching myself the basics of music production, and despite its limitations, it sparked a passion in me. The process of turning ideas in my head into actual tracks was magical, and over the years, my connection to Trance has only deepened. For me, it’s more than just a genre—it’s an emotional language that speaks to my soul and, I hope, to my listeners as well.

Your new release, ‘Spirit,’ is a beautifully uplifting piece. What inspired this track, and how does it reflect your signature sound? 
‘Spirit’ is a track that came from a very personal place. It’s inspired by the universal human experience of seeking connection—whether it’s with people, nature, or something greater than ourselves. I wanted to create something that could uplift and transport listeners, offering them a sense of freedom and positivity. The track reflects my signature sound through its lush, uplifting melodies and emotionally charged arrangements. I’m always drawn to crafting music that balances energy and emotion, and ‘Spirit’ is no exception. From the soaring breakdowns to the euphoric drops, it captures the essence of what I love most about Trance.

Your previous release on LK Records, ‘Angels Are Calling,’ hit #1 on the Beatport Trance Hype Chart! How did that success influence your creative process for ‘Spirit’? 
The success of ‘Angels Are Calling’ was a huge milestone for me and a moment of validation for my music. Knowing that it resonated with so many listeners and reached #1 on the Beatport Trance Hype Chart inspired me to aim even higher with ‘Spirit.’ It gave me the confidence to trust my creative instincts and take bold steps in my production process. At the same time, I felt a responsibility to deliver something that could match or even surpass the emotional impact of my previous work. That experience taught me to embrace the pressure and use it as fuel for creativity. For ‘Spirit,’ I focused on refining my sound while staying true to the emotional depth that fans appreciated in ‘Angels Are Calling.’

Can you take us through your production process? How do you typically approach making music, and how long does it usually take you to complete a track? 
My production process usually begins with an idea that sparks inspiration, often a melody or chord progression I come up with while playing around in Logic Pro. From there, I focus on building the emotional core of the track, layering pads, arpeggios, and basslines to create a sense of depth and movement. I’m meticulous about transitions and energy flow, as they’re key to keeping the listener engaged and immersed in the journey. The creative process isn’t always linear—sometimes I’ll spend hours perfecting a single element, while other times everything falls into place quickly. Typically, it takes a few weeks to a month to complete a track, but that depends on how clearly I can visualise the final result. For me, the most satisfying part is when all the pieces come together to create something cohesive and powerful.

Your music is known for its deep emotion and transcendence. What feelings or messages do you hope listeners take away from ‘Spirit’? 
With ‘Spirit,’ I hope listeners feel a sense of freedom and positivity. It’s a track that’s meant to lift people up and remind them of the beauty that exists in the world, even during challenging times. For me, music has always been about creating emotional connections, and I want ‘Spirit’ to serve as a moment of escape for anyone who listens. Whether it inspires hope, introspection, or just pure joy, my goal is to give listeners a transformative experience. I believe music has the power to heal and connect us, and I hope ‘Spirit’ offers that to those who hear it.

What’s next for RIXSON? Can we expect more celestial journeys, or do you have new directions in mind for future projects? 
The journey is just beginning, and there’s so much more to come! I’ll definitely continue creating the celestial and uplifting Trance journeys that fans have come to expect, as it’s such a core part of my artistic identity. However, I’m also exploring new directions, incorporating influences from other electronic subgenres to evolve my sound. I’ve been experimenting with deeper, more progressive vibes as well as some high-energy elements, which could lead to some exciting surprises in my future releases. There are a few collaborations in the works and even plans for a concept EP or album that tells a more cohesive story. 

2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, and I can’t wait to share what’s next!
