About Dragan Usović AKA Sub4sax

I am from Slovenia. I am 24 years old. I've been on Audiotool since 2017. My favorite style is Future House, Bass House, Deep House. My favorite pizza is "Kebab Pizza".

Describe the style of music you produce

I create a fusion of Future House, Bass House, and EDM that's all about energy, groove, and powerful drops. My music is designed to get people moving, blending uplifting melodies with deep, gritty basslines and dynamic rhythms. I love crafting tracks that bring great melodies and intensity — whether it's festival type tracks with soaring leads or darker, club-focused bangers that hit hard. My goal is to push the boundaries of these genres, always experimenting with fresh sounds while keeping that high-energy, dancefloor-driven vibe alive.

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

I grew up in Slovenia in a family where music was always present — my father taught me basic music theory at a young age. As I got older, I became fascinated by electronic music, especially the sounds of Tchami and Malaa. In 2017, when I was 16, my elementary schoolmate Glitchyrichy introduced me to Audiotool, which was my first step into music production. Not long after, Vulkron helped me learn the basics of producing on the platform and guided me through the early stages of developing my sound. His support and mentorship were crucial in shaping my style.

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

I've been using Audiotool for 8 years now. I discovered it through a friend of mine from elementary school. His name is Glitchyrichy.

What is your favorite Audiotool device and why?

If I had to choose a favorite, it would be the Heisenberg because it allows me to shape my own sound with a lot of depth and precision. I also really love using the Pulverisateur for designing my own bass sounds.

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

My favorite trick in Audiotool is definitely using automation to add movement and dynamics to my tracks. I love automating things like filter cutoff, reverb, and delay to make transitions smoother or create more impact during drops. Another technique I always use is layering sounds — layering is key to making a track sound fuller and more interesting.

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

Yes, I've definitely experienced writer's block. There was a period of about 2-3 years where I really struggled to create any tracks. What helped me get through it was stepping away for a bit and focusing on other creative outlets or listening to music outside my usual genres. I also recommend trying to work on smaller ideas or experimenting with new techniques — don't worry too much about making a perfect track right away.

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

What has helped me the most is definitely the ability to experiment freely with different devices and sounds. Additionally, I've learned a lot from the Audiotool community. Interacting with other users, sharing feedback, and hearing how they approach music production has given me new perspectives and fresh ideas.

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

What I like most about Audiotool is the user-friendly interface and the ability to create music directly in the browser without the need for expensive software. I also appreciate the cloud-based feature — it makes it easy to work on projects from anywhere, and collaborating with others is super seamless.

I just wanted to take a moment to say how grateful I am to be part of this amazing community. The creativity, support, and shared knowledge here have been such an inspiration throughout my journey. I'm constantly amazed by the talent and innovation that surrounds me, and I encourage everyone to keep exploring, experimenting, and sharing ideas.
