I think it was sometime in December when I got the idea to create a Hardstyle remix of the song Upír Dex. I remember spending hours browsing different platforms to see if anyone had already done something similar. Eventually, I came across a remix by Terror Basslines and TranzistorZ on SoundCloud. I immediately fell in love with the atmosphere of the track. I wanted to create something inspired by it, but with my own twist - something that would carry my personal style.
I decided to message Terror Basslines and ask if he could send me the MIDI file, since I assumed he had already worked with it. Later that same day, I received an Instagram notification. At the time, I had no idea that this message would mark the beginning of a completely new chapter in my life.
Terror Basslines replied in a friendly and supportive way and was kind enough to send me the MIDI file. Some time later, after finishing my remix, I decided to send it to him for feedback. Looking back, I still don't know exactly why, especially since I was only at the beginning of my production journey, but his response changed everything.
He told me that the track had many mistakes and a lot of room for improvement. However, he also said something I will never forget: that I was producing Hardstyle in a way nobody else was and that I already had a unique style with real potential.
From that point on, we started spending countless hours producing music, analyzing tracks, and learning together. Terror Basslines became my mentor and teacher. He showed me the foundations of music production and taught me lessons that would shape my future as an artist.
One day, he suggested that I stop focusing on remixes and try creating an original track instead. Honestly, I was intimidated by the idea. It was a completely different process. I had to learn how to write melodies, build atmospheres, structure tracks, and understand many aspects of production that I had never explored before.
And to be completely honest - the result was a disaster.
Together, we went through every mistake, every weakness, and every strength of that first track. Yet despite all its flaws, something caught his attention. It was my sound, the unusual atmosphere, and the energy that naturally found its way into my music. We refined the track, fixed the problems, and slowly turned it into something meaningful.
I expected that finishing my first original production would bring a huge sense of accomplishment. Instead, I felt the opposite. Just like today, I never felt that it was good enough. There was always something to improve, something to learn, something to do better.
Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. I kept producing, learning, and pushing myself forward. Eventually, I released my first two singles on Spotify. At the time, that felt like a massive achievement, but I had no idea what was waiting for me next.
Together with my friend Neyadel, I started working on a collaboration called When It All Falls Down. Since both of us had jobs outside of music, progress was slower than we would have liked. Eventually, we completed the intro and the first drop and sent it to Terror Basslines for feedback.
I was expecting criticism.
Instead, he replied that he loved the idea and wanted to join the collaboration himself.
Without hesitation, I accepted.
What started as a simple collab quickly became something much bigger. Along with the project came an opportunity to release the track through The MasterBeat Project.
The feeling was incredible.
It was only my third official release, yet suddenly I found myself joining a label that would later become my second home.
After signing with the label, I officially became a The MasterBeat Project artist and have continued releasing music through the label ever since. As time went on, Terror Basslines and I spent more and more time discussing not only music but also the future of the label. Together, we explored ideas, opportunities, and ways to help The MasterBeat Project grow.
At the same time, I had the opportunity to perform tracks released through the label at events and continue building my journey as an artist. Later on, I was offered the position of label manager-a role I accepted with great gratitude. It felt like recognition for all the time, effort, and passion I had invested into The MasterBeat Project.
Today, in 2026, I can confidently say that The MasterBeat Project is the best thing that has happened to me in the music industry.
If someone asked me today what The MasterBeat Project means to me, my answer would be simple:
Family. Label. Euphoria. Hardstyle.
The MasterBeat Project is more than just a record label. It is a community of passionate people who support one another, share the same love for Hardstyle, and work together to create something special.
Today, I can honestly say that without The MasterBeat Project and Terror Basslines, I would not be where I am now. For that, I will always be grateful.
And if there is one thing I would like to say to future artists, it is this:
Work hard. Create from the heart. Stay patient, keep learning, and never be afraid to be different.
Trends come and go, but originality is what makes people remember you. The biggest opportunities often come when you stay true to yourself and focus on improving rather than chasing success.
Every artist starts somewhere. Keep pushing forward, trust the process, and never stop believing in your own sound. One day, that unique sound might be exactly what sets you apart from everyone else.
