Bad Boombox<\/strong> nimbly blends the irrepressible energy of Berlin with the flamboyant spirit of the early rave movement. The charismatic DJ, producer, and internet personality has earned praise from peers and industry luminaries for his blistering beats, warehouse rattling DJ sets, and penchant for the absurd. Bad Boombox is just as much a performance artist as he is a dynamic musician. His 90s Eurodance meets Berlin techno aesthetic and hilarious dance moves were a light in the darkness of nearly two years without dance floors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bad Boombox brilliantly harnesses the power of social media to further his agenda. His viral videos, memes, and DJ sets garnered millions of views and billions of indirect streams. The success of his Badass Bootlegs series and original releases on Farris Wheel Recordings and Fantastic Voyage have landed in the Rekordboxes of Will Clarke, Patrick Topping, Stella Bossi, Justin Jay, Gene Farris, Born Dirty and more.

Some descriptions in Resident Advisor characterizes you as DJ and new kid on the block but old school raver, Bad Boombox’s combination of house and techno, dance and viral memes, east and west vibes, are set to make waves in the electronic scene. Can you tell us, how did you get to it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was born in Bulgaria, raised in the US, but I’ve always been a Balkan euroboi at heart. My dad played dance tapes in the house on an old boombox and it made me love dance music, in general, but I was always searching for more. This made me enjoy making other people dance \u2013 so I DJed in college and for a few years after, but it was also missing something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago I took a two-year long backpacking trip around Europe, settling in a few cities including Kiev, Barcelona, and finally Berlin for some time, to continue my dance music education. That\u2019s when my taste really developed, and it allowed me to dive really deep into the particular genres and influences I was fond of. I finally saw the cultural differences in dancing, and how each genre developed in regions similar to how languages develop over time. I grew up listening to French house and Eurodance, but my time in Berlin and central Europe helped me really dive into the darker side of dance. Hedonic techno meets fun house music and hip-shaking disco. However, I also saw that a lot of the techno scene has matured too much and lost its fun edge – so one of my goals is to bring the fun and humor back into it. My goals for 2022 are to break into the European techno community in a positive and humorous way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do you form your tracklists?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00abI love going into a deep Bandcamp rabbit-hole. I love the way the platform easily allows me to dive through people’s taste and find hidden gems, and how it directly supports the artist\/label. For example I get a recommendation from another fellow DJ’s set, then I look up the track on bandcamp, click on a random person who bought it, and scroll all the way through their profile. This can be done an infinite number of levels deep. Everything is then organized on rekordbox, grouping each energy\/genre into specific playlists, that way I can easily find the right track for the right mood on the dancefloor\u00bb.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When forming a tracklist, the process involves a deliberate selection of songs to create a certain mood or convey a narrative. The initial step usually begins with identifying the theme or purpose of the playlist. Are you aiming to energize listeners, soothe them, or take them on a thematic journey? Understanding the intention behind the playlist can guide the selection of tracks that best fit the desired outcome.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
