Berlin-based DJ and producer Jaxomy is no stranger to crafting infectious dance hits. From his viral sensation Pedro to his latest collaboration with Conor Maynard on She’s So High, Jaxomy is carving out a distinct space in electronic music. In this exclusive interview, he shares his creative process, the influence of Berlin’s club scene, and why blending underground sounds with mainstream appeal keeps his music fresh.
How did the collaboration with Conor Maynard come about, and what was the creative process like in blending your signature future house sound with his vocals?
The collaboration with Conor came about thanks to my A&R at the label, who introduced us. While I didn’t specifically focus on my future house sound for this track, I concentrated on using the sounds that worked for me, similar to how I approached the production of ‘Pedro.’ I wanted to create a vibe that felt fresh and catchy, and Conor’s vocals brought that extra energy. The creative process was
really about finding the right balance between the vibe I wanted and the energy his voice brought to the track.
‘She’s So High’ is a dance-pop anthem with an infectious hook. What elements were most important to you in crafting a track that feels both radio-ready and festival-worthy?
For me, it’s all about finding that balance between catchy melodies and a strong, driving rhythm. With ‘She’s So High,’ I wanted to create something that could work both in the club and on the radio. The hook needed to be instantly recognizable, and I focused on making sure the production had that energy that would get people dancing at festivals.
At the same time, I wanted it to be accessible to a wider audience, so the structure and the vocal delivery had to be pop-friendly but with that house music edge.
Your track ‘Pedro’ became a viral sensation, amassing over 350 million streams. How has that success shaped your approach to producing new music, and did it influence ‘She’s So High’ in any way?
Yes, the success of ‘Pedro’ definitely influenced my approach to producing new music. It showed me the importance of making music that resonates with listeners, and that keeping things catchy and simple can have a huge impact. While ‘She’s So High’ has its own unique vibe, the success of ‘Pedro’ gave me the confidence to experiment with more infectious hooks and high-energy production. It was very influenced by the reaction and the energy I saw from listeners, so I definitely carried that momentum into my next projects.
Berlin has a rich electronic music culture. How has the city’s energy and club scene influenced your production style and sound?
When I think of future house, I definitely see it as part of my past. Tracks like ‘Pedro’ and ‘ She’s So High’ are more influenced by techno, which is deeply rooted in Berlin’s music scene. Techno is the heartbeat of this city, and it’s something I absolutely love. Growing up here, I spent a lot of time in the clubs, soaking in that energy and sound. It’s shaped how I approach production, focusing on darker, driving rhythms, and deep basslines. Berlin’s club scene, with its raw energy, has played a huge role in my musical evolution, and I still love going out to experience it firsthand.
You’ve gained support from major industry names like Tiësto, Martin Garrix, and Don Diablo. What’s been the most memorable piece of advice or feedback you’ve received from these heavyweights?
One of the most memorable pieces of advice I’ve received in general is to “treat yourself good.” There were times when I was tired, frustrated, and not always happy—even though becoming a touring DJ was my dream. It can be tough, and sometimes the pressures of the industry can get overwhelming. This advice really stuck with me: that taking care of yourself, mentally and physically, is just as important as your work. It’s a reminder to balance the highs and lows and not neglect my well-being throughout the journey.
Your music fuses high-energy house beats with melodic hooks. What’s your secret to balancing underground club vibes with mainstream appeal?
Since techno is becoming more and more popular, it makes it easier for me to try blending those underground vibes with mainstream elements. The audience’s ears are more open to that sound now, and they’re embracing deeper, darker rhythms alongside catchy, melodic hooks. My approach is to keep the energy high while also experimenting with sounds that feel fresh and unique, which allows me to maintain that balance between the underground and mainstream. It’s all about staying true to myself while adapting to the evolution of the scene.
The dance music industry is constantly evolving. What trends are exciting you right now, and where do you see your sound heading in the future?
I don’t really care about genres—I’m all about exploring whatever excites me in the moment. I wouldn’t be surprised if my next single is a DnB track and then followed by an Afro House one! But right now, I’m really loving the merge between UK Garage and Groove Techno. It’s got that gritty, bass-driven energy combined with those smooth, hypnotic grooves that feel perfect for the dancefloor. In the future, I’ll keep pushing those boundaries and experimenting with sounds, no matter what genre they fall into. The most important thing is to keep evolving and staying true to what inspires me.
With ‘She’s So High’ now out, what’s next for Jaxomy? Any upcoming projects, dream collaborations, or live performances we should watch out for?
I’ve got a lot in the works! I’m always working on new music, and there are a few collaborations coming up that I’m really excited about. As for live performances, I’ve got some amazing shows lined up, including some big festival appearances. I’m really looking forward to sharing the new music with fans and experiencing those moments in front of the crowd. Also, I’m always open to dream collaborations, so who knows—maybe some big names will be joining me in the studio soon!
