Teocino is a DJ and producer from Basel whose love for electronic music began in childhood, inspired by the sounds his mother played. After exploring piano and guitar, he found his passion for Electronic production, influenced by artists like Avicii, Martin Garrix, and Swedish House Mafia. In 2021, he bought his first DJ console and immersed himself in tech house and melodic techno and in 2024, he decided to pursue music professionally.

Hi Teocino! How are you?

I’m doing amazing, and I’m truly honored to be part of this interview. I’ve been a big fan of EDMHouseNetwork for a long time, so this means a lot to me.

How would you describe who you are as an artist?

I’m a young festival lover who decided to channel that same passion for music into creating it myself. As an artist, I try to blend all the Electronic genres I’m inspired by into one cohesive sound, expressing the energy and emotion I feel whenever I’m at a festival.

What first drew you into electronic music? Was there a defining moment or  experience?

My first introduction to Electronic Music was as a little kid — I remember my mom doing housework while listening to Trance and Progressive House. Later, when I had an iPod, I would spend hours on YouTube watching music videos from Avicii, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, Armin van Buuren, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Hardwell, and many more. The biggest turning point was discovering Tomorrowland. Watching those videos felt surreal, like a different world. I dreamed of being there even as a child — first as a guest, and one day as a performer. Playing at Tomorrowland is still my biggest dream.

How would you describe your sonic identity to someone who has never heard your music?

If you look at my Spotify, you’ll notice that I released five tracks in 2025 and the last one in June 2025. Those releases reflect a lot of experimentation, since I only began producing in April 2024.

One genre I hesitated to approach at first — because I was still learning — was Mainstage Techno and Trance, but after diving into newer tracks from Hardwell and Maddix, I fell completely in love. My upcoming music defines my sound much better: Mainstage Techno and Trance. My tracks usually feature two Techno drops, an uplifting trance break, sometimes a Trance drop, and then a powerful Techno drop again — all infused with Trance elements and driven by emotional, beautiful vocals.

What does your typical studio workflow look like?

I’m still building my proper studio, so for now I am producing music in my bedroom only with my laptop. Since I still work part-time, my days usually look like this: after work I hit the gym, then I come home and start producing. When I begin a new track, I often draw inspiration from the music I’m currently listening to and use it as a reference point.

I always start with creating a beautiful melody or chord progression. I produce for a few hours, take breaks, then continue. On my days off, I start earlier and take gym or walking breaks to reset my mind and stay fresh.

What’s your biggest challenge during the creative process and how do you overcome it?

The hardest moment is when I think a track is finished, but when I listen again, it still sounds raw. When that happens, I go back to my references, gather new inspiration, and keep polishing the track until it feels complete and powerful.

What are you currently working on — an EP, album, live show, or something new?

Right now, I’m working on an EP that showcases my new signature sound. I’m fully focused on the creative process, and you can expect a lot of new music very soon.

What do you hope listeners feel or experience when they hear your work?

I want listeners to feel the same love and emotion I put into my melodies and vocals — and I want them to completely lose themselves when the drops hit, especially when they hear my music live.

How would you describe the energy you aim to bring to your live sets?

I aim to bring the exact same energy I have when I go to festivals as a fan: screaming, jumping, dancing, feeling the passion, and experiencing how music unites us. I want the crowd to feel that same emotional and explosive energy.

What’s something exciting your fans don’t know is coming yet?

I’ll just say: stay tuned on my socials — I’ll be announcing something very soon!

What do you hope people take away from this introduction to who you are?

I hope people can feel my passion for this dream, and I hope that this interview inspires them to check out my new music and follow me on Instagram for all the exciting things coming in the near future.
