We’ve had the pleasure to have a chat with Nuri to get some insight about his latest single ‘Right Back’ and get to know the whole story behind it.

Hi Nuri, thanks for finding the time to have a chat with us. How are you today and what’s going on in your world right now?

It’s great to chat with you. I’m doing very well, thank you. There’s a whole bunch of stuff going on in my world, it’s crazy.

You’ve recently released a new single by the name of ‘Right Back’. How did this project come about?

Well this was my second production after ‘Blue Lagoon’. I wanted to try a new sound, and that’s what brought about ‘Right Back’.

How would you describe this single in terms of sound and style?

It’s the generic Big Room track, very loud synths, lots of bass and vocal shouts for energy.

What got you inspired for this one?

Myself - I always compete with myself to try and take each track a step higher than my previous releases.

How long did it take to finalise ‘Right Back’?

About one or two weeks.

Could you walk us through the production process behind this project?

It was hard for me to produce this one because I did not quite understand the dynamics of the Big Room drops, so it took time to learn. Once that was through. I added synths to get nice melodies whilst the bass sounds in the track were all done using Massive. There’s also a lot of white noise which I used to fill the track up. The track really came out during mix down, as I added a lot of compression to it.

This is your second release after ‘Blue Lagoon’. What kind of development did you see in terms of how you approach productions?

There’s a big difference from when I started out with ‘Blue Lagoon’ to this release, and my upcoming tracks. I’ve learned a lot and continue to do so.

Which plug-ins and sounds shaped the end result of this single?

Sylenth1, Nexus and Massive. I used the standard multi-band compressor that comes with Ableton for compression.

‘Right Back’ got signed by N&R Records. How did you spark a relationship with this label?

I sent my demos to them, not one but three. They liked it and I felt it was a nice deal. Honestly I wouldn’t have been able to get my tracks out individually and give the amount of exposure they have, all by myself. It’s extremely difficult for new artists to get labels to give your tracks a second listen, let alone a chance to sign with them. So I’m very grateful to them for this opportunity.

Where would you imagine this single being played?

Festival, and clubs.

Describe ‘Right Back’ in one word.

Loud

Why should people listen to ‘Right Back’?

I can’t think of a reason not to, if you like the Big Room sound, you will like ‘Right Back’.

Do you have any other projects in the pipeline this year?

I have a lot of projects lined up this year. Coming up soon though is a remix I’m doing for Steve Aoki & Linkin Park’s new track ‘Darker Than Blood’.

Thanks Nuri!
