EDM House Network catches up with the versatile producer on a boat between stages at Belgium’s premier electronic music festival

In an exclusive interview with EDM House Network, multi-genre electronic music producer Wuki shared insights about his creative process, recent collaborations, and first-time experience at Tomorrowland 2025. Speaking aboard one of the festival’s signature boats traveling between the Planaxis and Crystal Garden stages, the artist opened up about his genre-blending approach that has made him a standout name in electronic dance music.

From Remixer to Multi-Genre Pioneer

Wuki’s journey in electronic music began with remixing, a foundation that continues to influence his production style today. “I’ve always considered myself like a remixer,” Wuki explained during our boat conversation. “I try to use genres as like a tool instead of like a boundary. I’ll make drum and bass, I’ll make house, I’ll make techno – whatever makes that remix the best.”

This philosophy has led to releases across multiple prestigious labels, including OWSLA, and has established Wuki as an artist who refuses to be confined to a single genre. His biggest commercial success, “Sunshine,” showcases his tech house capabilities, though he admits categorizing himself remains challenging.

The Skrillex Effect: A Career-Defining Collaboration

One of the most significant developments in Wuki’s career came through his collaboration with dubstep legend Skrillex. “The biggest thing that happened to me this year is I have a collab with Skrillex on his album, which is like such a huge deal,” Wuki revealed, his excitement evident despite the boat’s ambient festival noise.

Working with Skrillex proved to be an inspiring experience for the multi-genre producer. “He works so hard, he’s just constantly on the computer, he can work so fast. He’s very inspiring,” Wuki shared, describing the electronic music icon’s legendary work ethic.

The collaboration represents more than just a career milestone – it’s validation from an artist Wuki credits with shaping the American electronic music landscape. “There’s a good argument that without Skrillex, a lot of us wouldn’t have careers in America. He’s like total pioneer, total inspiration.”

Tomorrowland Debut: Living Up to the Hype

For Wuki, Tomorrowland 2025 marked his first appearance at the world-renowned Belgian festival, and the experience exceeded his expectations. “This is my first Tomorrowland and I’ve always heard that this is such a great festival and it’s true,” he said, fresh off his performance. “Everything from the artist area to the crowd – it’s awesome.”

The festival’s unique atmosphere and production quality clearly resonated with the artist, who noted how the entire experience, including the boat transportation system, contributes to Tomorrowland’s legendary status in the electronic music world.

DJ Philosophy: Chaos Meets Control

When it comes to live performances, Wuki embraces a more spontaneous approach compared to his studio work. “My DJ set is way more chaotic than my production,” he admitted. “I can kind of keep things pretty dialed in in my studio, but then when I DJ it’s like whatever, I’ll go wherever.”

This freestyle approach extends to his set preparation, or lack thereof. Rather than meticulously planning every transition, Wuki relies on his deep knowledge of his music catalog and crowd reading skills. “I definitely learned not to plan out my sets because then you get too nervous and like you try too hard,” he explained.

Recent Releases and Future Projects

Beyond his Skrillex collaboration, Wuki has maintained a steady output of diverse releases. Recent highlights include a track with Lee Foss on his Repopulate Mars label and a remix of Paramore’s “Ain’t It Fun” – a project that held special personal significance for the producer.

Looking ahead, Wuki teased an ambitious fall project: “In the fall I’m gonna be dropping this big mixtape with all my remixes and I’m gonna do a tour around that.” This upcoming release promises to showcase the full spectrum of his remix capabilities across multiple genres.

Exploring New Territories

Despite his extensive discography spanning multiple electronic music styles, Wuki continues to push into unexplored territory. “I haven’t released any drum and bass, but I think I’m gonna try to do some drum and bass or jungle this year,” he revealed, hinting at yet another genre expansion for his already diverse catalog.
