Next Saturday, 20th of January brings goa trance lovers once again in Sound Factory’s program “Parallel Dimension”. This time Kris Kylen is in charge of interdimensional journey, which gave us the opportunity to get to know him better. At his early ages Kris began his musical path..at first he was programming drum machines and then he was a singer in a cold wave band called Dead End. As the years were passing by Kris moved deeper into electronic music in 1992. Today Kris is a well known figure, a goa trance pioneer, bringing ‘outside of the box’ music therapy. His most famous projects/collaborations are Ultimate Experience, Juno Reactor, Element over Nature and the most recent one are: Zero Dawn Apocalypse and Third Eye Channel Recs. His music expression variates from industrial, psy, trance, chillout and even rock music. UES: Can you recall and describe us the first time you got yourself in contact with music? KK: I was around 5 years old one my uncle had a serious sound system and a great collection of records some that I associated with and liked the most at the time, which was sci-fi movies or TV series with bands like Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze , Pink Floyd ect. UES: You are a drummer, producer, singer, DJ… what do you prefer the most? KK: All ’cause they are all a part of my inner self. To feel complete I need it all and it feels good to take a holiday from the Drummer, Producer and so on.. I am also a graphic designer that relaxes me from the bunch of my personality sides too. UES: You’ve made quite an impact with UXs album Lasarus rising in 2016., and people are still awaiting the announced The Realm of A New Dawn album… any time soon? KK: Thank you, yes it was quite a challenge to come back and start fresh after not making any trance related projects since the end of the 90’s, so I came with a new formula, influenced from my closed relationship with Juno Reactor. I am glad that the first chapter of the album was well received with more than 22.000 downloads in few months . The complete 2 cd-set will hopefully come out mid 2018. on Neogoa Records, 3 songs are still missing for a full lenght cd 2. UES: You are (and were) collaborating with various projects.. could you name few that influenced you the most? KK: Juno Reactor, Killing joke, The 69 Eyes (Johnny Lee Michaels/producer), Amorphis (Jan Rechberger/Drummer – Producer) and Kloq (ex Empirion) influenced me the most as I was growing and progressing through my productions. UES: Could you tell us more about your recent collaboration: Third Eye Channel Records? KK: It’s more Stevos Goa Trance label and project. I designed the logo, I help out and occasionally play drums live with him… we are talking about future releases.. too early yet to tell… UES: As we know you are now staying in Zagreb.. is this your new homebase now or just a temporary ground? KK: Time will tell, but I’ve always been more a nomad of modern times (Tunisian / Corsican heritage), the fact that also got my daughter Kylie Jolie based in Slovenia was a good choice too… UES: Is it difficult to get used to a new way of life, new people, new mentality? KK: Not really, when you have been touring for 22 years, you are used to it and it is exciting and vital for my art in general to meet new people and cultures. UES: Any new stuff you would like to share with us? KK: Yes I did start my new solo Techno/Electro, Producer/DJ project called “The Dark Prince”; did a remix for rising DJane/Producer Mila Dietrich coming soon on her new EP plus working on a 2 tracks release. The Ultimate Xperience album should be finished this year and numerous projects like my band “Zero Dawn Apocalypse” in the pipeline too.. UES: Thank you for the answers Kris, and for you readers we are revealing Kris’s top 5 releases from 2017. of his choice, which are presented throughout the interview. Also we are inviting you to Sound Factory where Kris will be playing DJ set, on 20th January, 2018. For all infos follow the link.

Program “Parallel dimension” zove ljubitelje goe na ponovno okupljanje u Sound Factory iduću subotu 20. siječnja, 2018. Za interdimenzionalno putovanje je ovoga puta zadužen Kris Kylven. Krisovo glazbeno putovanje započinje već u ranoj dobi kada započinje s programiranjem ritam mašina, a zatim pjevanjem u bandu Dead End. 1992. godine Kris se sve dublje uvlači u elektronsku glazbu. Današnji pionir goa trancea stvara glazbu izvan granica. Njegovi najpoznatiji projekti/suradnje su Ultimate Xperience, Juno Reactor, Element over Nature te jedan od najnovijih: Zero Dawn Apocalypse i Third Eye Channel Recs. Njegov glazbeni stil varira od industriala, psya, trancea, chillouta pa sve do rocka. U ovome intervjuu iskapamo njegovu prošlost i otkrivamo buduće planove. UES: Možeš li se prisjetiti i opisati svoj prvi kontakt s muzikom? KK: Imao sam oko 5 godina i tada sam jako volio sci-fi filmove i TV serije. Moj ujak je tada već imao ozbiljan sound system i odličnu kolekciju ploča čija me glazba podsjećala na te filmove i s kojom sam povezivao bandove kao što su Tangerine Dream, Kraftwerk, Vangelis, Klaus Schulze, Pink Floyd itd. UES: Ti si bubnjar, producent, pjevač, DJ… što od toga najviše preferiraš? KK: Sve, jer su one sve dio mene. Kako bih se osjećao potpuno sve ih trebam i osjećam se dobro kada mogu uzeti odmor od Bubnjara, Producenta itd.. Također sam i grafički dizajner što me opušta od mnoštva mojih ličnosti. UES: Sa UX-ovim albumom Lasarus Rising iz 2016. ostavili ste velik utisak, te ljudi još uvijek čekaju najavljeni dvostruki album The Realm of A New Dawn.. hoće li izaći uskoro? KK: Hvala, da, bio je velik izazov vratiti se i započeti iznova s goa trance projektima koje nisam imao od kraja 90-ih, ali sam se vratio s novom formulom, inspiriran završenom suradnjom s Juno Reactorom. Drago mi je da je prvi dio poglavlja (albuma) dobro prihvaćen s više od 22.000 downloada u nekoliko mjeseci. Potpuni dvostruki CD će nadam se izaći sredinom 2018. na Neogoa Records labelu. Tri stvari još nedostaju za drugi CD. UES: Surađuješ (i surađivao si) u raznim projektima.. možeš li navesti one koji su najviše utjecali na tebe? KK: Juno Reactor, Killing joke, The 69 Eyes (Johnny Lee Michaels/producer), Amorphis (Jan Rechberger/Drummer – Producer) i Kloq (ex. Empirion) su na mene najviše utjecali jer sam uz njih rastao i napredovao u vlastitoj produkciji. UES: Možeš li nam reći nešto više o tvojoj nedavnoj suradnji na projektu: Third Eye Channel Records? KK: To je Stevin label i projekt, ja sam dizajnirao logo, pomažem mu i ponekad bubnjam live… razgovaramo o budućim zajedničkim izdanjima.. ali prerano je za reći… UES: Nedavno si se doselio u Zagreb.. je li to sad tvoj stalni dom ili samo privremeno stajalište? KK: Vrijeme će reći, ali oduvijek sam više bio nomad suvremenog svijeta (nasljeđe Tunisa/Korzike), činjenica da i moja kćer Kylie Jolie živi u Sloveniji, pa se to čini dobrim izborom. UES: Je li teško priviknuti se na nov način života, nove ljude, mentalitet? KK: Ne baš, kada putuješ već 22 godine, naviknut si na to, a za moju je umjetnost ključno i uzbudljivo upoznavati nove ljude i kulture. UES: Imaš li neke nove projekte na kojima radiš? KK: Započeo sam svoj samostalni Techno/Electro, producentski/DJ projekt nazvan “The Dark Prince”, napravio sam remix producentice/DJice u usponu Mile Dietrich koji izlazi uskoro na njezinom novom EP-u te radim na još dva izdanja. The Ultimate Xperience album će biti gotov ove godine te nekolicina projekata na kojima radim kao što je Zero Dawn Apocalypse. UES: Hvala ti na odgovorima Kris. A za vas čitatelje otkrivamo i Krisovih top 5 izdanja iz 2017. godine, po njegovom izboru, koja se nalaze upravo u ovom intervjuu.
