An exclusive chat with rising techno talent Amber Broos

Combining the vintage with the futuristic and the melodic with the banging, Belgian DJ/producer Amber Broos has proven to be a true master in creating unforgettable memories on the dance floor.

Having sold out her very first headline show at Antwerp’s Waagnatie last October, the youthful One World Radio presenter has slowly but surely become a force to be reckoned with.

Her closing set at Frozen Lotus, high up on the slopes this Friday at 16:00, is not to be missed for fans of house and techno alike. Let’s hear what she’s got to say.

The past few years saw you develop rapidly as a DJ/producer. What have been some of your personal highlights?

“Over the past few years, my journey as a DJ/producer has been incredibly rewarding, filled with memorable highlights that have fuelled my passion for music even further."

"One of the most unforgettable moments was undoubtedly playing the Mainstage of Tomorrowland last year. It was a surreal experience to perform in front of such an enthusiastic and energetic crowd."

"Another standout moment was hosting my own show at the Waagnatie in Antwerp. Being able to see it come to life was a dream come true. Seeing the crowd enjoying the music was particularly gratifying.”

When producing tracks, how do you work? Do you always have the dance floor in mind when you work on music?

“Whenever I'm producing tracks, my approach is rooted in both creativity and audience connection. I strive to strike a balance between staying true to my artistic vision and considering the dance floor experience.

"I make music that aligns with my own vibe and my style as an artist, but I also keep my audience in mind throughout the process. For me, it's essential that the tracks I create seamlessly integrate into my DJ sets. I want each track to enhance the overall atmosphere and energy of the dance floor, to create moments that resonate with the crowd.”

You have a monthly show on One World Radio. What is it you do during these radio shows?

“Hosting my monthly show ‘Sorry for the Noise’ on One World Radio is an incredible opportunity for me to connect with listeners and share my passion for music with them. "Sorry for the Noise" serves as an extension of my DJ sets.

"I strive to bring a mix of new releases alongside timeless classics, bridging the gap between past and present while keeping the energy high throughout the show. I also support up-and-coming talents within the electronic music scene and I feature their tracks during the show. I love surprising my listeners with tracks that I've discovered: a hidden gem from a lesser-known artist or a great remix that caught my ear.”

You love playing techno edits of famous chart hits during your sets. What has been one of your recent favorites and why?

“There have been quite a few techno edits that I've been playing recently, but one that stands out for me is The Subs’ remix of Push Up by Creeds. I loved playing this track during my set at Tomorrowland Brazil, it always delivers an incredible response from the crowd. The Subs’ most recent album is packed with extremely good edits.”

Tomorrowland Winter isn’t just about music, it’s also about skiing and snowboarding. Is this something you’re into yourself?

“For me, Tomorrowland Winter offers the perfect blend of two of my favourite things: music and skiing. Hitting the slopes during the day and then dancing the night away to incredible music is absolutely fantastic.

"Plus, the energy of the festival extends beyond the music stages and into the ski slopes, creating an incredibly fun experience. As for snowboarding, I've actually never tried it, but I'm definitely intrigued. Who knows, maybe this year will be the perfect opportunity to give it a shot!”
