The Art of Patience: Crafting 'Just A Feeling'

Inspired by his own emotions and stories, 'Just A Feeling' is a sonic journey. But how did this captivating EP come to life? JackRock shares that it took approximately 8 months to fully shape the project. “The thing is, I don’t focus on one track from start to finish,” he explains. “Usually I work on about 10 tracks simultaneously, jumping between them depending on which one excites me at the moment. That way, I keep my mind fresh all the time and come up with new ideas to add to each track.”

This unique approach allows for a deeper, more refined sound. “In my experience, when you focus on one track and the main idea is ready, you usually rush to finish it in a more cliché way. But if you give it time, you can always add some extra magic later.” Yet, in a fascinating twist, the EP's title track, 'Just A Feeling,' defied this method, coming together in a single day! Some tracks, as JackRock puts it, simply “lead the way and make themselves.”

A Resonant Partnership: JackRock and KNTXT

While 'Just A Feeling' marks his solo debut, this is JackRock's third electrifying release on RPM by KNTXT. So, how did this powerful alliance with Charlotte de Witte begin? “With Enrico, we’ve known each other for ages, and whenever I finish some new music, I send it to him to see if something fits his vibe to spin,” JackRock reveals. “So 'In The Dark' was one of those tracks. Charlotte heard it from him and got in touch.”

The connection was instantaneous. “It feels like we resonate on the same frequency, intertwining techno and trance with that initial vibe from the time when that emotional sound was born. Charlotte is an absolute sweetheart. She’s truly one of the most amazing personalities the scene has introduced me to, and she inspired me to embrace and dive deeper into my sound.”

Beyond the Decks: A Global Journey

With millions of streams and countless iconic club and festival performances under his belt, what moments truly stand out for JackRock after three decades in the scene? He shares a profound perspective: “After three decades of clubs and stages, what becomes truly special lies elsewhere – exploring the places and cultures around those clubs, meeting people on different continents who have their own memories and moments with your music as the soundtrack. I always make sure to take some extra time to feel and explore what’s around me.”

Blurring Worlds: The Unstoppable Force of Techno-Trance

JackRock is celebrated for his masterful genre-blurring, where the driving force of Techno meets the soaring melodies of Trance. What draws him to these two powerful genres? “Techno at its core is a dark, driving, raw and energetic force, while trance lifts you up – its melodies bring goosebumps and ecstasy,” he articulates. His philosophy is simple yet impactful: “Why limit yourself? Why not have the best of all worlds together?”

The Secret to Longevity: Curiosity, Boredom, and Passion

As a respected name for decades, JackRock offers invaluable wisdom on staying relevant in an ever-evolving scene. His secret? “Curiosity… what new emotion can be achieved through music? A pinch of boredom, like why limiting yourself to one sound? And of course, passion, but that kind of passion that blinds you to any outcome and constantly sparks ideas and the curiosity of ‘What’s next?’”
