Aenera, purveyor of deep, melodic and ethereal progressive/techno.
Our next guest comes from the US. Not that often we get requests from across the ocean but we are very pleased with this sublime work.
Just like us, he is given talents and passionate artists a stage to express themselves. Richard Hosea, as he goes in real life, runs a house & techno event called Tensity in San Diego. We can only encourage things like this. Young talents deserve a platform.

Where are you from and what do you find inspirational about where you’re living?
I’m originally from San Diego, California. Inspiration comes from many places and in terms of where I live, being close to the ocean, listening to the waves, watching the sunsets and the sunrises.
When did you start DJing/producing – and what or who were your early passions and influences?
I began getting involved in DJing and production in 2013. I remember growing up and being exposed to a variety of genres of music from classical to metal. Some of my first electronic influences came from the likes of Prodigy and Tiesto and evolved from there.
How would you describe your sound and style?
I predominately play progressive house but my style is ethereal and atmospheric, delicate and tumultuous. The weaving of textures and sounds with a progressive groove.
What can we expect from the mix you made?
It is a sonic journey, filled with intention and purpose. Meant to stir the emotions and take you to another place if you close your eyes. A story that is whatever you want it to be the moment that you hear it.
What is one thing that would make your musical career more successful? Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Releasing my own productions as well as a booking agent. In 5 years ill be traveling regularly around the world, playing at all my favorite venues and building a legacy.
What is your absolute favourite track of the moment?
Roger Martinez – Deep (Stas Drive Remix)
