As long as there are some people interested in my music along with one or two who notice the small details I grind my gears on for hours, I am a happy man. I wouldn’t feel any better or worse about myself if I won or lost. Jonathan, who won the best newcomer award as Signal, and Josh, who won as Unglued, are great friends of mine, so it would just feel cool to join the gang. I think the only thing that it would add is a little sense of achievement. What difference would it make in yourself if you won any? Or is it important to win both? Which one counts more for you out of them? You have been nominated for DNB Arena Awards twice: as the Best Newcomer and for the Best Remix. Also just keeping your head in the game when tackling with such a huge project takes so much mental energy, so I felt really good when it was done. I spent countless hours on getting the harmony in the reese bass to feel right with all the distortion going on, I had many version for the big kick on the drop and I had a lot of other technical issues and creative decisions which I spent so much time on. Mostly because it was a huge struggle to get it the way it is right now. Which of your releases are you most proud of and why?Īt the moment, I am most proud of my remix for “The Wall” by ABIS, Signal and Tasha Baxter. At that point, I was only a couple of months into music production, but I remember thinking I didn’t want to do anything else anymore but being able to make music that good at the time. I remember it being around the time when “Outer Edges” was just released, and the first time I listened to that, my brain just melted. That friend (Ronald Dijks) was always talking about Noisia, Mefjus, Emperor, Phace and Misanthrop, and he showed me all their music for the first time. It was a combination of going to raves and hearing dnb in the environment of a club, and a friend introducing it into my life when I was discovering the basics of music production. When and how did drum and bass break into your life? What caught you in it? Generally speaking, people like if someone pushes the boundaries of a genre and displays something different from what everybody else does, so I hope for that reason people can appreciate what I am trying to do. Because I naturally don’t know a lot about these traditions, I mostly just tend to do with my music that fits the context or the idea the best to my knowledge, which usually turns out like something completely different from what people are used to. I guess when you gradually learn about the traditions of dnb by living in the production scene throughout the years by making music, you get so used to a lot of those traditions that it is hard to still go into every track with a completely open mind. Well, if I had to guess, I think it has to do with the exact fact that I know so little about dnb compared to these other big names. As a rising star, what do you think has helped you to make this exceptional career in such a short time, apart from your extremely hard work? Next year will be a crazy year for him ♥️” ( Abis) You are known for not having a long past in the genre. “In the relatively short time that I’ve been in DnB I’ve never ever come across a newcomer so talented as Ferry Mellegers – completely insane that any human can pick up such skills and quality so quickly. I hope it explains a bit more than I can put into words. But I guess if you really want to get a feel of what I do, you should just listen to the music. Since then I’ve gotten lots of cool opportunities, like doing my first remix for Noisia and Phace, working together with the titans of the scene, and playing a whole lot of cool shows. I released my first ever music in the form of an EP back in March this year, which became #1 on the Beatport Dnb Release charts. I produce under an alias called “Buunshin” where I make weird blends of drum and bass with other genres. How would you introduce yourself to those who have not heard about you yet? ![]() Ladies and gentlemen, let’s take a look behind the curtain - it is definitely going to give you much food for thought! ![]() ![]() Buunshin, the Dutch prodigy guy in drum and bass has a lot to tell us.
