TNA: Welcome, Jimeno! We’re thrilled to have you here. Let’s dive right in. When you’re in the flow of creating, what’s the sensation like? How do you know when you’ve tapped into something truly unique?
Jimeno: When I’m in the flow, I feel deeply connected to the moment. It’s a rush of adrenaline and happiness that keeps me going. That’s when I know I’ve found something special.
TNA: Can you share a moment when you felt profoundly inspired by something unexpected? How did it shape your work?
Jimeno: Sure! I once prepared a DJ set for a festival in Poland, but had to play something completely different on the spot. It was an incredible experience that taught me to embrace the unexpected and flow with it. Now, I avoid imagining how these moments will be before they happen.
TNA: Your style is distinct and captivating. What elements do you intentionally weave into your creations, and how do they reflect who you are?
Jimeno: I draw inspiration from the sounds of the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This influences my sound, my thinking, and even how I dress. I love blending these vintage influences with modern house grooves.
TNA: What do you find yourself drawn to repeatedly, whether it’s a particular sound, visual, or emotion? Why do you think that resonates so deeply with you?
Jimeno: I’m drawn to the places and people that music has brought into my life. Music and travel are my passions, and they deeply resonate with me because they are what I love most.
TNA: If you could collaborate with any artist, past or present, who would it be and why? What do you think that partnership would bring out in your work?
Jimeno: I’d love to collaborate with my son in the future. He’s only three but already has a keen interest in music. I believe it would be an incredible experience for both of us.
