After years behind the decks and a period increasingly devoted to studio work, he is entering a new stage that brings DJing and production closer together. Recent material includes ‘The Way’, released via Curiosity Music, while ‘Moïta’ is set to receive an official release later this month.
In this conversation, ANDAMERA discusses his contribution to the EG MINML series, his changing approach to production, the collaborations behind ‘The Way’, the response to ‘Moïta’, and how he is balancing his vinyl roots with a broader artistic direction.
EG: Hi ANDAMERA, welcome to Electronic Groove. It’s great to have you with us. How have you been lately? What have you been up to recently?
ANDAMERA: Hello, first of all, I’d like to thank you for your interest in my project and for the invitation. A big thank you to the whole Electronic Groove team.
I’m doing very well. I feel inspired, focused, and extremely motivated to produce and develop new music.
Right now, I’m working on several productions, including many collaborations scheduled for release soon. This year, production has become one of my main priorities. I want to dedicate more time to creating music and to shaping the ANDAMERA universe with more precision.
EG: First of all, thank you very much for your contribution to our EG MINML Series! We really enjoyed this one. How do you usually approach these mixes? Is there a concept driving this one?
ANDAMERA: I built this mix with a lot of intention and attention to detail. The idea was to introduce the direction we are developing around organic house and melodic house, while also bringing in influences from tech house and Afro tech.
Above all, I wanted it to feel like a journey. I like to create a clear progression, with different levels of energy, rather than simply putting tracks together. The goal was to bring listeners into the ANDAMERA universe and take them somewhere musically.
I also want to thank Electronic Groove for the trust and exposure around EG MINML.008. The response has already been very encouraging. For a project that is still developing its audience, seeing people connect with the mix so quickly is a strong sign and a real motivation for what comes next.
EG: Now… You’re entering a particularly active studio chapter, with several collaborations and releases taking shape. What has changed in your approach to production recently, and what are you discovering about your sound through this process?
ANDAMERA: Today, I see production as a way to express myself without any real limits. The musical world is huge, and I feel that the ANDAMERA universe is gradually finding its own place and identity.
My rhythm in the studio has changed a lot now that I’m able to dedicate more time to it. As an entrepreneur for many years, I often had to divide my energy between different projects, and I did not always have the time to develop this creative side as deeply as I wanted.
Having my own studio at home changes everything. I can work when an idea arrives, experiment more freely, and take the time to search for my own sound. It is a real privilege, and it allows me to discover another side of my artistic identity.
EG: Your upcoming release ‘The Way’, alongside M4RIN, Cebow M, Swann Decamme and LOFT 93, brings together artists from different backgrounds. How did that collaboration come together, and what did each contributor bring to the record?
ANDAMERA: This collaboration came together very naturally. When passionate people with different backgrounds share the same desire to create, certain things start to happen almost by themselves.
After conversations and studio sessions, the arrangements and production of ‘The Way’ gradually took shape. M4RIN and Cebow M brought the foundations of the composition, while M4RIN, Swann Decamme and I worked on shaping the arrangement and overall direction of the record. LOFT 93’s vocal then gave the track its emotional and international dimension.
For me, what makes the collaboration interesting is that the different worlds come together without anyone losing their own personality. ‘The Way’ has an international feel, a vocal Afro House energy, and a strong club dimension.
‘The Way’ will be released on September 4 via Curiosity Music.
“Today, I see production as a way to express myself without any real limits”
EG: ‘Moïta’ has already built a strong response as a free download and is now making the transition to an official release across streaming and digital platforms. What did the reaction to the track tell you, and why did it feel like the right moment to give it a wider life?
ANDAMERA: ‘Moïta’ is a particularly personal track. It has an organic dimension, but it is also connected to my roots, my Corsican identity, and a more intimate part of the ANDAMERA project.
When I produced it, I did not imagine that a track made in such a personal way, initially shared as a free download, would create such a reaction. The response quickly went beyond what I expected.
On SoundCloud and YouTube, listeners connected with it very quickly. On Instagram, the content around the track also traveled widely and helped introduce ANDAMERA to a much larger audience.
One of the most meaningful reactions came from international artists I deeply respect. Black Coffee downloaded ‘Moïta’ through Curiosity Music, added it to his favorites, and later played the track. Joseph Capriati also listened to and downloaded the record, which was another very encouraging sign.
When you make a track in your own studio without knowing how far it might go, and then a few weeks later you see it being played, shared, and supported by artists of that caliber, it is a very special feeling.
Beyond the numbers, ‘Moïta’ showed me that sincere music can find its own path naturally. That is what convinced us to give it a proper official release across streaming and download platforms on September 25.
EG: There seems to be a shift from ANDAMERA primarily being understood through your DJ and vinyl identity towards something much broader, encompassing original music, collaborations, live dates and a more defined artistic vision. How do you see that transition yourself?
ANDAMERA: I come from a culture that is deeply connected to vinyl, from a time when a large part of the musical construction happened live. You had to create your story in the moment, read the room, feel the crowd, and constantly adapt.
Returning to that philosophy today gives me a huge amount of energy. Over the years, I had lost part of that dimension, mostly because I did not have enough time to fully develop it.
Technology and equipment have evolved enormously, and they offer incredible possibilities. Digital tools are now essential, and I see that as a natural evolution. You have to move with your time without being trapped by nostalgia.
At the same time, I want to preserve spontaneity. I like creating live, responding to the audience, and building a moment that will not exist in exactly the same way again.
For me, a set should leave an impression. I want people to feel they experienced something unique, not something they could hear anywhere else in the same form.
EG: Vinyl has clearly played an important role in your musical identity. As you move further into production and your own artist project, what elements of that culture do you want to preserve, and what are you looking to leave behind?
ANDAMERA: What I want to keep from vinyl culture is the discipline and the high standards. Vinyl forces you to know your music, to take risks, to listen carefully, and to build a set with real intention.
There was also a special relationship with discovery. Finding records took time, curiosity, and patience. That gave a different value to every track you selected.
This is the mindset I want to preserve in ANDAMERA: selection, discovery, spontaneity, and a direct connection with the audience.
But I don’t want nostalgia to become a limit. Tools evolve, and artists have to evolve with them. I want to keep the values that vinyl gave me while fully embracing the possibilities of modern production and technology.
EG: Afro House is an important part of the current direction, but your collaborations suggest you’re interested in a much wider palette. How do you decide which influences belong inside the ANDAMERA sound without losing its identity?
ANDAMERA: I don’t want to confine ANDAMERA to one category. Afro House has an important place in my current universe, because of its energy, its rhythms, and the organic dimension it can bring, but my influences are much broader.
I can be inspired by organic house, melodic house, Afro tech, tech house, or even by sounds from completely different musical worlds.
For me, the question is not only about genre. It is about what an influence brings emotionally to a track. If it reflects my sensitivity and can naturally become part of the ANDAMERA universe, then it has a place.
The identity needs to remain recognizable, but it should never become a cage. I would rather build a signature through energy, emotion, and a particular way of telling a musical story than through a single label.
“Every track needs a reason to exist and should bring something new to the story”
EG: With ‘The Way’, ‘Moïta’ and more music already in the pipeline, how are you thinking about the sequence of releases? Are you building toward a larger body of work, or allowing the project to develop organically one record at a time?
ANDAMERA: For now, I want ANDAMERA to evolve organically while keeping a real sense of coherence between the releases.
‘The Way’ and ‘Moïta’ reveal two different sides of the project, and I like the idea of showing that diversity step by step. Several productions and collaborations are already in progress. Some move in different directions, but they all remain connected by the same underlying identity.
I don’t want to release music just to be constantly present. Every track needs a reason to exist and should bring something new to the story.
Eventually, this may naturally lead to a larger project, such as an EP or an extended format. But I don’t want to force it.
Right now, my priority is to produce, experiment, collaborate, and build a catalog that truly represents ANDAMERA.
EG: Looking at the next twelve months, what would you most like people to understand about where ANDAMERA is heading, and what are you hoping to achieve with this next chapter?
ANDAMERA: Above all, I would like people to understand that ANDAMERA is a project in motion, and that it is not limited to one musical aesthetic.
The next twelve months will be important to establish this identity through productions, collaborations, and performances. I want people discovering the music to gradually recognize a signature and understand the story I am building.
My goal is to release more music, collaborate with artists I respect, and bring these productions to stages in different countries and in front of new audiences.
But beyond numbers or specific targets, what matters most is building something that can last.
I want to keep enjoying the process, remain curious, and never lose the feeling I had behind my vinyl decks: the feeling that I could surprise the audience, but also surprise myself.
I feel this new chapter is only just beginning.
EG: Thank you so much for your time. We wish you all the best with ‘The Way’, ‘Moïta’, and everything coming next. Take care!
ANDAMERA: Thank you very much to the entire Electronic Groove team for the invitation, for listening, and for the interest you have shown in the project.
It has been a real pleasure to share this new stage of the ANDAMERA project with you.
I hope ‘The Way’, ‘Moïta’, and the upcoming productions will find their audience. There are many new things in the works, and I genuinely cannot wait to share them.
See you very soon, and once again, thank you for your support.
