上海Trap、Hip Hop 实力女王A$UKA 自制新曲上线！PYRO音乐首发！

（scroll down for English）

说起在上海实力的Trap和Hip Hop曲风的女DJ，A$UKA 这个名字绝对会被提及。PYRO音乐也曾邀请她来到Live Stream 的直播间为大家展示过她现场的实力。之前她也参加了2016年的先锋全国DJ大赛，取得了华东地区第三名，全国第六的优异成绩。不过她不单单只是实力女DJ那么简单，她对于制作也有非常大的兴趣，最近她也有不少作品在PRYO音乐上出现，就让我们和她聊聊关于制作的一些事情吧！

Q：这次是你第一次开始制作歌曲？

A：也不是第一次，之前就做了些，小样也有，只是现在逐渐完善一些感觉还可以的歌。

Q：开始成为制作人有什么想法？

A：就想好好做歌，做歌挺有意思的，虽然不容易甚至有时候还会有挫败感，但还是觉得如果做好了会很欣慰很有成就感。

Q：作曲的过程有什么困难？

A：最大的困难就是头一天做出来的东西第二天再听就觉得好难听，这样的事情反复发生，有时候恨不得把之前的工程全给扔了从头来过，现在很多制作人都是自学自己琢磨，所以难免走进死胡同，我也不例外，一首歌做不好几天都精神不振。

Q：你是否满意自己的制作？

A：谈不上满意，只能说积累经验和练习，同时把自己不同阶段的学习成果做一个记录，至少每一次出来的东西都比上一次有进步就好，一步一步脚踏实地会让我觉得更有信心做好这件事。

Q：制作时从哪里获得灵感？

A：灵感就是一瞬间的事，过了可能下回就不是这种感觉了，有时候是听到一些歌收到的启发，有时候是想事情的时候突然来的灵感，也有跟朋友聊音乐聊出来的灵感，总之灵感还是一直都有的，只是要马上记录下来，否则就过了不一定还找的回来。

Q：制作人和DJ你认为之间的不同点和共通点在哪里？

A：共同点就是都在分享和传播音乐，而且都是兼技术和体力的活儿。不同点就多了，DJ一定要有丰富的现场经验和临场应变能力，因为你是气氛的总控制师嘛，即使音乐提前准备的再好，不同现场不用人群都要不同对待的，除非你是很有名气的大牌DJ，但也还是要看场合的。制作人就更加幕后，做一首歌也是把握和表达情绪的工作，但是你可以花长的时间把要表达的东西逐渐清晰的体现在你做的音乐上，也可以抓住即时的灵感一气呵成，时间上还是相对宽广一些，如果有不满意还可以再斟酌在改版，所以DJ跟制作人差别还是很大的，所以才会有一句话“好的DJ不一定是优秀的制作人，好的制作人也不一定是棒的DJ”。

Q：最后关于你下一步的计划                

A：下一步计划做好自己的首个EP，是骡子是马都拉出来遛遛，只有拿出来放在大众面前看到大众的评论我才能更清楚看到自己不足的地方，做歌很容易“当局者迷”的，一首歌做到后面经常会听的没有感觉了，不知道好是不好，所以需要听取大家的意见，毕竟我现在做歌不是做给自己听的，我还是渴望得到认可的。我觉得只有当自己足够优秀的时候才有资格和更优秀的音乐人交流合作。

最新单曲'Get Me'

A$UKA PYRO主页

When you talk about to trap or hip-hop female DJs in Shanghai, A$UKA's name is sure to come up. PYRO Music invited her to live stream to show off her skills a few months ago. Before that, she also participated in the 2016 Pioneer DJ competition, placing in third in the country. But she is not only a DJ, she is also a great producer, and has given PYRO her newest songs. Let's talk with her a bit about producing!

Q：Is this the first time you have made your own songs?

A：It is not the first time; before I did some things, like the samples and demos. Now I'm working gradually improving the feeling I want my songs to have.

Q：What are your thoughts about becoming a producer?

A：I just want to make good music, it’s interesting, although it is not easy and sometimes there is frustration. Still, if I make a good song, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

Q：What are some difficulties when producing music?

A：The biggest difficulty is when you make something on the first day, then the next day you don't like the way it sounds; things like this happen repeatedly. Sometimes I want to throw everything out and start from the beginning. Now many producers are self-taught, so its hard to avoid dead ends. I am no exception, and some days the songs don't come out the way you want.

Q：Are you satisfied with your own productions?

A：I'm not completely satisfied, I can only say that I am accumulating experience and practice, and at the same time my learning results in a record. Each time it is good to have progress from the last time, and this down-to-earth feeling makes me more confident to do it well.

Q：Where do you get your inspiration from?

A：Inspiration is an instant thing, and you don't get the feeling all the time. Sometimes I hear a song and get some inspiration, sometimes I just think of something all of the sudden. Talking with friends can also give me some ideas. Anyhow, inspiration should always be recorded instantly, rather than looking back at it.

Q：What's the difference between a producer and a DJ?

A：What they have in common is the sharing and dissemination of music, all the technical and physical work that goes into it. But the differences are many; DJs must have rich experience in the field and the ability to adjust what they're doing on the fly, so they can control the atmosphere. Even if your set list is ready, different sites and groups will use different songs, unless you are a very famous DJ. Producing is more behind the scenes, making a song to express your emotions. You can take a long time to express things that will become clear in your music, at the same can also catch the instant inspiration, apply more free time. If you have are satisfied, you can also change, this way a DJ's and producer's difference is big. So a good DJ is not necessarily a good producer, and a good producer is also not necessarily a great DJ.

Q：What are your plans for the future? 

A：After I make this first EP, I will see the feedback from it so I can more clearly find my shortcomings. When you're the one making songs, it's hard to see the bigger picture. Once the song is finished, I may not know whether it's good or not, so I need to listen to the opinions of other people, I don't make songs just for me to listen to, I am eager to get recognition.I hope I am good enough to do some collaborations with other excellent musicians
