Larse joins from Dortmund, Germany, bringing his soulful and emotive take on house music to the conversation. Fresh from a trip to Ibiza, he reflects on playing at Six Senses, a sunset performance that coincided with the launch of his new single and his label, VASH Recordings. For him, music is about creating vibes that capture a moment, whether through deep house grooves, soulful vocals, or downtempo textures. He describes his journey from sampling vinyl as a teenager to producing on an Atari with Cubase in the early 90s, highlighting how limitations pushed his creativity. Today, with decades of experience and millions of streams behind him, his perspective balances artistry with the realities of modern streaming and promotion. While the industry has shifted from downloads to streams, he believes longevity and authenticity remain the real measures of success. Family plays a central role in his life, with his kids often reminding him of balance between studio time and personal time. He admits that staying fit and managing health is a challenge, but one made easier by the energy of parenthood. His children may prefer hip-hop, but they occasionally peek into his world, bringing a new layer of inspiration. Looking ahead, Larse is focused on growing VASH Recordings, building it first with his own tracks and eventually expanding to artists he believes in. His advice for upcoming producers is simple: finish your tracks, trust your instincts, and release music you fully stand behind. With new reworks like Chicane’s Offshore on the way, he shows no sign of slowing down.
