We at SNOE are happy to have Ucha back on another great SNOEflakes. His sound is all around groovy and the Georgian DJ and producer keeps pushing musical boundaries, showcasing why Tiblisi is an electronic music city packed with talent which is not to be overlooked.
Ucha’s striking new track “Carpediem” is just as expected coming from his studio. The track is packed with heaps of energy radiating through the insatiable groove, creating a powerful frame for the dirty synth pumping it’s way throughout the track. We had a little chat with him ahead of the release this Monday, check out the exclusive pre-listen of “Carpediem and what news he had for us below.
Hei Ucha. Thanks for taking the time to chat with us. How would you describe your music to someone who has never heard you before?

The essence of ‘Carpediem’ is the groove!

If I have any free time from the djing, I’m always in the studio, sometimes I sleep there too…

My favourite toy is still: KORG MS-20. I have been working with it for 3 years already.
With whom would you like to spend time in the studio?
If I’m not alone in my studio (which is called Depot6 Recs), it is usually my brother and friends that are there. It is always a great pleasure to drink coffee or tea with your friends and show them what I have been working on.
