Interview

About João Eira AKA BioL!nk

I'm a 22-year-old music producer from a small village in the north of Portugal. I've been on Audiotool for 7 years now, and it's been a huge part of my creative journey. My favorite genres to produce and listen to are Drum & Bass, Dubstep, House, and Techno. When it comes to pizza, nothing beats a classic Margherita for me.

Describe the style of music you produce

I produce a bit of everything, but my main focus is definitely on Drum & Bass. I love crafting energetic, dynamic tracks that blend fast-paced rhythms with deep basslines. Beyond DnB, I also enjoy exploring Dubstep, House, and Techno, bringing different influences into my sound to keep things fresh and versatile.

What is your musical background and when did you start making music?

I started producing music about 7 years ago, but I never really took it seriously until around 2 years ago when I began setting real goals for myself. Music has always been a big part of my life — my mom was a music teacher, my brother is a well-known guitarist, and there's even a band in my family. But what really inspired me to make music was watching old DJ sets on YouTube from some of the greats.

How long have you been using Audiotool, and how did you discover it?

I've been using Audiotool for about 7 years now. I actually discovered it by chance while I was looking for a way to produce music for free. It turned out to be the perfect platform for me to learn and experiment without any barriers.

What is your favorite Audiotool device and why?

If I had to pick just one, it would be the Pulverisateur. This device is a powerhouse for crafting deep basslines and intricate textures, making it indispensable for my Drum & Bass productions. Its extensive modulation capabilities and filter section allow for endless experimentation.

What is your favourite trick in AT/What technique do you always use?

One of my favorite tricks in Audiotool is using automation creatively to bring life and movement to my tracks. Whether it's automating filter sweeps, volume changes, or effects parameters, it adds dynamics that keep the listener engaged. I also love layering different sounds to create unique textures.

Have you ever had a writer's block? If so, how did you deal with it and what do you recommend to your colleagues?

I struggle with writer's block pretty often. When it hits, I try to step away from the music for a bit. My advice is to not stress too much about it — sometimes the best ideas come when you least expect them. Keep experimenting and stay patient. Creativity will come back.

What has helped you the most on Audiotool to improve and widen your musical horizon?

What's helped me the most is the community and the ability to explore other producers' projects. Being able to see how others build their tracks, experiment with different styles, and share tips has been invaluable. It constantly pushes me to try new things and refine my own sound.

What do you like most about Audiotool? Is there anything you would like to suggest?

What I like most about Audiotool is the way it brings together music creation and community. Being able to collaborate, share projects, and learn directly from other users in real time is something really special. I'd love to see more advanced sample manipulation tools, like pitch-shifting, directly in the main workspace.

Your message to the community:

Whether you've been here for a week or a decade — just a reminder that we're all constantly learning. Don't be afraid to take risks or mess things up — that's how some of the most creative ideas are born. Keep pushing your boundaries, keep supporting each other, and most of all, keep having fun.
