The love for electronic dance music made this 21-year old student get involved in producing music. Moreover, this inevitable desire to create music allowed him to spend hours experimenting and tweaking knobs that finally gave way to Kaspar perfecting his production ability.
In just two years, this Latvian wonder, with the help of his good friend Viktor Fox, soared sky-high with his new-found talent.
Kaspar's innovative shifting of genres can be heard through his tunes on Nellie Recordings like the deep and funky "Let's Funk Together" and the upbeat "
Hey! I feel really great, now that more people are enjoying my music! For me, this is very important because it gives me more inspiration to innovate my sound.
I like to experiment with sound. Sometimes, I’m into funky melodies, sometimes, deep, and even techy. You can really hear it in my tracks. For me, I can’t simply stay on one kind of sound, it has to evolve. I also love taking elements from disco and jazz music, and the way I see it, people appreciate them. Aside from that, I do have a tendency to make sound influenced by filtered house music.
My first inspiration was Mr. Eric Prydz, and then followed by Junior Jack, Kid Crème, and Electricano. Their musical styles simply inspire me to keep innovating my sound.
Honestly, I have not been to many countries, but if I had the chance, I would visit
Summer is near and surely, I will be enjoying more free time fishing and living in the countryside, but for now, I need to finish some stuff for university.
I really don’t know. Everything started with music improvisation… It’s quite weird, but I like it.
Be unique in your music! Regardless of how crazy your ideas are, just do them, but the most important thing is that you must love what you are doing.

Music brings ecstasy to people! I mean look at all the happy people dancing and getting along because of the music. It’s brilliant what music can do for people.
It would be having some gigs around
Cheese and milk.
Hmm… that is a tricky question, but it would be exciting if the DJ was a girl.
Of course, a lot of new releases soon! For events, I can’t say anything for now because I have a lot of University work. We’ll see what will happen.
I, Miguel Hizon Libre, would personally like to thank you for your time and patience in accomplishing this interview. I wish you all the best in your career (and studies), and I will always be here supporting you and your music!
Cheers!
Thank you to you too! I’m happy that you have interviewed me! Love, peace and more house music!

Hey Miguel! It's been all right. Lots of new music and lots of new artists. I'm excited!
Matti & Erkka, the guys behind Michael Cassette. I think they are outstanding and the music they give out under Michael Cassette is just incredible. Melodies to die for! Very inspiring music. It would be a dream come true to work with them.
Lots of movies and tv-shows like Dexter, House M.D. etc. I spend way too much time watching them I think. But hey, I love it!
No matter what genre I'm listening to, melodies or a couple of nice chord changes have been the only thing I care about. I used to listen to a lot of hiphop back in the day and I didn't even care about the lyrics, I was all about the melodics. Anyway, this brought me to the progressive and guys like Claes Rosen, Paul Keeley, Michael Cassette, Dinka and so on.
Worldwide brother! There's always room for Nellie. All jokes aside, I don't really know. Music is such a universal language and taste is individual so, I can't really say a specific country!
I don't even dare to think three to five years ahead, haha! I'm getting anxious already. I know the dream is to have a steady income obviously and live fully from it. But it takes a lot of hard work and good connections to make it and there's a lot of good competition out there for a relatively narrow style as "melodic prog music" or what we should call it. There's only a few who's really into it and I haven't even been into it as much as I've wanted. I don't know if that answers your question? Hehe
To be honest, I barely listen to anything these days. Since I got into the house music scene I've been so focused and especially on progressive house. It's a shame really. A few weeks ago I got a little emotional because I realized I've missed out on so much music. I had no idea what was going on in the music world outside house.
However, I used to listen to a lot of hiphop but not that gangster rap shit, bling bling bullshit. I grew up listening to EPMD, Gang Starr and Das EFX. That's the stuff! I also had a period where I was very down in Nirvana and I still enjoy it. Another favourite is Katie Melua. She might be my dream girl as well! So I have to say my taste is (at least was) widely spread.
Be prepared, show a lot of energy and enthusiasm and be happy. Motivated and enthusiastic people are very inspiring to me. So, well, I guess that's what I want.
Except being good producers I think I've managed to gather a bunch of really nice, humble and grateful people. Even though I might be an asshole sometimes it's important for me to have nice and respectful people on the team. I will not tolerate a bad attitude and especially not towards fans. Manners! So, if you feel you've been treated wrong by any of my boys - rat them out! I will punish them. ;)
I don't have a studio since I'm not a producer per say. But my new Yamaha HS80M is very nice. Though I think my neighbors beg to differ! Other than that it must be my headphones because I have them on me like 15 hours a day, even if I'm not listening to music. Very strange. I'm so used to having them on me it feels weird to take them off when I sit in front of my computer. Feels like I'm about to go somewhere.
Beer! Oh gosh, now you got me thinking about beer. My favourite one is
Well, a lot of new music obviously. I got stuff coming up with Alandanat, Invisible Sounds, Playton and a lot more. EDU just finished a new EP for me as well + a remix actually on a new Magnetic Brothers single. This is just a little bit. More nice tracks coming up!
In terms of events and stuff, nothing special really. But if you live in
I, Miguel Hizon Libre, would like to thank you for your time and patience in answering my questions. I hope this would be an efficient tool for spreading the name of your music. Best regards and cheers!
Well thank you for always writing such nice reviews on our tracks. We appreciate it very much, trust me mate! Also I would like to thank everyone who listens to our music!
