Buenos Aires-based producer and DJ Fede Spamer is carving his own lane in Electronic music, blending emotional depth with dancefloor energy. Rooted in classical training and inspired by Melodic Techno and Tech House, his music invites listeners into a world of introspection, freedom, and connection.

Hi Fede! How are you?

Hi! I’m doing really well. Thank you for having me.

What was the original spark or emotion that inspired this song?

The song came out of a moment of transition for me, both personally and musically. I had just finished ‘Wait’ and ‘C’est Toi’, which felt like my first really polished tracks and one of the starting points for what would become my Love Mission EP. Around that time, I went to Kuala Lumpur for a few months, and that change of environment had a really positive effect on me. I wasn’t having a great time in Buenos Aires, so stepping away helped me reset and gain perspective.

Musically, I was also questioning myself. My first DJ gigs were warm-ups, and in the Buenos Aires club scene slower House and Tech House are more common, so that’s what I adapted to at first. Over time, though, I realized it didn’t fully represent what I wanted to express. While I was in Kuala Lumpur, I started listening to darker, harder, faster Electronic music. It began as curiosity, not knowing if it was really my style, but it quickly felt right.

The track comes from that realization, when I understood that I wanted to make and play something more intense and dynamic, and stop shaping my sound around expectations.

How does ‘Free’ differ from your previous releases, both sonically and emotionally?

‘Free’ differs a lot from my previous releases, both sonically and emotionally. The inspiration came from a very different place. Emotionally, it was about feeling genuinely free after stepping away from an environment that had become somehow toxic for me at that time. It also expresses the freedom I felt when I fully committed myself to music, which is what I’ve always felt I was meant to do.

Sonically, the track is much more complex than anything I had done before. I constantly push myself further in terms of production and experiment with many new techniques. That process naturally gives my tracks a more personal and unique character.

In that sense, ‘Free’ embodies a lot of new ideas for me, both musically and technically, and marks a clear step forward from my earlier work.

The title ‘Free’ suggests release or liberation; what does “freedom” mean to you in the context of this track?

For me, freedom in the context of this track is about honesty and commitment. It’s the feeling of releasing myself from situations, expectations, and environments that weren’t aligned with who I am. Stepping away from something that felt restrictive or toxic gave me a sense of clarity and relief, and that emotional release is a big part of the track.

At the same time, as I mentioned before, ‘Free’ also represents the freedom I felt when I fully committed myself to music without compromise. Choosing to trust my instincts, my sound, and my process, and letting go of external pressure was incredibly liberating. The track is really about that moment of alignment, when personal freedom and creative freedom become the same thing.

Can you walk us through your production process, how did you start building the track, and what elements evolved over time?

This is a track I revisited many times before bringing it to the final version. I actually started it almost a year before releasing it, and over that time, I kept coming back to it, making changes and refinements as my ideas evolved. From the beginning, I wanted it to be rich in elements and melodies, so a lot of the process was about finding the right balance without losing the core energy.

The bassline and kick were definitely the starting point, as they set the groove and foundation. From there, I came across the vocals and instantly connected with them on a personal level, especially considering what I was going through at the time.

As the track developed, different melodic ideas, textures, and layers were added, removed, and reshaped. Some elements only made sense later in the process, and others were simplified or stripped back. Overall, it was a very iterative process that took time and multiple revisions before the track finally felt polished.

The robotic vocals and pulsating synth lines stand out, how did you decide on those textures, and what tools or techniques brought them to life?

I wanted the track to have a powerful melodic Techno bassline that really rumbles and stands out. To achieve that, the bass is made up of three separate layers, all created in Serum, which come together as a single sound. I mix and master at the same time as I’m composing, so the sound design, processing, and balance all evolve together rather than being treated as separate stages.

For this track, I mainly used Serum along with tools like Saturn 2, EQ Eight, Drum Buss, Compressor, Utility, and LFO Tool to shape the low end and give it weight and movement.

When it comes to the vocals, creating a spatial, almost 3D feel is a big part of my style. I use Utility a lot to play with mono and stereo placement, layering different settings to add depth. On top of that, I use multiple layers of Replika XT and Ableton’s Delay, combined with EQ Eight, TRS Mic Room, and my go-to Saturn 2 to help the vocals cut through the mix while still feeling wide and immersive.

How has your background from Buenos Aires’ vibrant music culture to your experiences with different Electronic styles — shaped the way you approached this track?

Buenos Aires has had a strong influence on the way I approach music, even though I didn’t grow up there. Living in the city for many years and being part of its music and club culture exposed me to a wide range of sounds and scenes, which directly shaped how I approached this track.

In Argentina, Rock music has always been very present, and going to many Indie Rock concerts influenced the way I think about melody, emotion, and energy. That mindset is carried over into my Electronic productions, including this track. At the same time, the Electronic scene in Buenos Aires has its own character. Melodic Techno began to have a strong impact, while Techno in general remains more niche, usually experienced at specific parties or larger DJ events rather than mainstream clubs.

I was also exposed to harder and more rhythmic styles like cachengue and cumbia through live shows, parties, and nightclubs. Those environments are very direct and energetic, and they influenced how I think about groove and intensity on a physical level.

What do you hope listeners take away from ‘Free’ on the dancefloor or through their headphones?

I hope listeners connect with the feeling of truly finding your way. On a more personal level, especially through headphones, the track reflects my own realization that many people don’t actually love what they do and often feel stuck. ‘Free’ comes from the moment I decided to take the leap of faith and fully commit to following my dreams, and I hope it can inspire others to do the same, if they haven’t already taken that step. It’s not easy, and it’s definitely not instant, but I believe that to truly feel happy, you eventually have to make that choice.

On the dancefloor, I want it to be about pure energy. I want people to feel driven by the rhythm, let go, and just dance without overthinking. Whether it’s an emotional connection or a physical one, I hope the track gives listeners a sense of release in both spaces.

What’s next for you creatively? How does this track lead into your upcoming projects or musical direction?

I’m definitely preparing new material behind the scenes. ‘Free’ is a major inspiration for what’s coming next and really sets the tone for my upcoming releases. My sound has become more polished, and I’m finding new ways to express what I want to say musically.

Moving forward, I’m focused on continuing to refine my sound while keeping the energy, intensity, and character that truly represent me. It’s about finding a stronger balance between clarity and identity, and building on the direction that ‘Free’ has established.

What can fans expect from you next, and how are you thinking about future releases at this stage of your journey?

What’s coming next is heavily inspired by ‘Free’, especially in terms of energy, sound, and direction, but it also carries an emotional depth similar to ‘Love Mission’. I’m really focused on blending intensity with feeling, so the music still hits on the dancefloor while having something more personal behind it.

I know my sound will keep evolving and improving over time, and I’m comfortable with that process. Right now, I have a lot of ideas, not just musically but also around other aspects of the music industry. I’m thinking more broadly about how everything connects, and future releases will reflect that ongoing growth and exploration.

With a sound that bridges emotion and movement, Fede Spamer continues to push beyond genre boundaries, using music as a space for connection and self-exploration. As his journey unfolds, one thing remains clear: his work isn’t just meant to be heard, but to be felt long after the beat ends.
