Why we choose Agus Zack’s track

Listen to the winning track below, and check out a Q&A with him to dive into their creative process, inspirations, and what it takes to craft an award-winning track.
Q: Tell us a bit about yourself and your journey into music production. When did things start getting serious for you?
A: I started producing music when I was 16 years old. Things became more serious for me once I decided to start releasing my own tracks through record labels and sharing my music with the world. That was the moment I realized I wanted to fully commit myself to this path.
Q: What originally pulled you into producing electronic music, and what kept you going when things got difficult?
A: At that time, I was already working as a DJ, and I became really curious about creating my own music and developing my sound. I started producing inspired by artists like Tiësto, David Guetta, and many others who introduced me to electronic music and shaped my vision early on.
Q: How would you describe your sound right now? What artists, scenes, or
influences shaped it?
A: Right now, my sound is based on blending different genres like Techno, Bigroom, and Trance. Artists such as Hardwell had a huge influence on me while developing this style. I think this combination works especially well in live performances because of the energy and euphoric atmosphere it creates on the dancefloor.
Q: Walk us through the making of your winning track. What was the original idea and how did the track evolve while you were producing it?
A: The idea for the winning track started with the vocal. I decided to build the entire atmosphere around it and use it as the main element of the track. From there, I created the drops and breaks, aiming for a darker vibe while still keeping enough energy to make it powerful for clubs and festivals.
Q: What part of producing still excites you the most when you open your DAW?
A: What still excites me the most when opening the DAW is the creative side of production. I always try to create something fresh and different. I like keeping my own identity while constantly experimenting and evolving my sound.
Q: What are you currently working on? Any upcoming releases or goals for the next year?
A: Currently, I’m working on some new tracks, including both solo projects and collaborations. I don’t have any official releases scheduled yet, but one of my biggest goals for this year is to expand internationally as a DJ and start performing in different countries around the world.
Q: For producers thinking about entering Make It next year: what would you tell them after going through the process yourself?
A: I would tell every producer entering Make It to focus on building a strong and unique idea. Try to create something that truly represents you and stands out from the rest instead of following trends too closely.
Q: Quick one: what’s your current DAW and one plugin you couldn’t live without?
A: My current DAW is FL Studio, and one plugin I definitely couldn’t live without is Nexus.
