Electronic duo MOZA talk inspiration, electronica and learning curves

MOZA: We used to be in a 6 piece folk rock band which we used to pour our blood sweat and tears into until one day we decided to try our hand at making some different sounds after being inspired by the uprising Australian electronic music scene.

We loved the idea of coming into the industry as musicians and bring that live experience to the table. We released our debut single “On the Line” and the rest is history.

MOZA: Where do we start? hahaha. The live show is such a pit of the best kind of anxiety at times. We really take the time and effort to go through each and every part with a fine tooth comb to make sure we are bringing our audiences the best show possible. From our light show that we tour with occasionally to just making sure the show works the whole way through we spend hours upon hours problem solving and improvising.

Some of the biggest challenges are integrating new songs that we write into the set which involves a shit ton of programming and resampling. Adding drums into the show was a new challenge all together but was something we’ve always wanted to do. We pretty much had to strip back all the songs we were playing and build new versions of them to showcase the drums. It was so incredibly worth it though. We played our first show with our drummer Andy last month and we knew we couldn’t go back.

MOZA: Thats a super hard one as we’ve made our set super upbeat and dancey. Would have to say Gold or Empty Streets are the big ones that really get the floor moving. Andy drops these huge drum fills in the chorus of Empty Streets and it’s those moments where we’re so locked in that we got into music for. It’s indescribable.
