In the world of EDM, there is a constant influx of new and exciting artists to discover each and every day. With so much music to choose from and explore, it can be hard from up and coming artists to make their personal marks on the scene. This, however, has not seemed to be a challenge for bass wizard and up-and-coming producer Maroc. Today, we have the absolute pleasure of premiering his latest track “Public Enemy” which takes listeners back to the root of his project with its heavier sound design. Featuring booming basslines, nasty drops, and wubby melodies, “Public Enemy” is not a track to be missed and will definitely be rinsed out far and wide for the foreseeable future. Let’s take a deeper dive into why we are calling “Public Enemy”, a certified bop.
“This track leans more towards the heavy side, With its heavy metal riffs and dark growls it’s sure to get you going. I wanted to get back to my roots with this one, My favorite pastime is creating and listening to angry dubstep.”
Diving Deep w/ Maroc
1. How did you decide to get into making music? Was there a certain event in your childhood/life that made you stop and realize that you wanted to pursue a career in music?
Beats have always been a huge part of my life. The first thing I always keep an eye out for are drums and hi hats. If the drums aren’t hitting then I immediately skip the track. As a young child I would always make beats by banging on stuff or just making noises with my mouth to form a beat. After discovering dubstep and electronic music when I was about 18 years old, It changed everything. I now had an even bigger appreciation for music production. It took me a few years but when I was about 24 years old I finally took the next step in creating my own music and alas, The Maroc project was born.
2. What has been a personal career struggle that you have battled with the most and how has it helped mold your character for the better good presently?
When I first started getting into this part of the industry I would often compare myself to other artists and question why I wasn’t having as much success as I thought I should be having. This is the absolute WRONG way to think and you should never compare yourself to others. First off, everyone has their own path and things happen at different rates for people. Second, All that energy I was using to compare myself I could have been putting into my own project to develop new ideas to make myself grow. At this point in my career I try not to worry about what my peers are doing and focus solely on the Maroc project
3. What has been the biggest lesson you’ve learned since you started making music? Do you have any words of wisdom for aspiring producers hoping to follow in your footsteps?
The biggest lesson of them all is NEVER STOP LEARNING. I feel like if you continue to forever be a student of the game then there is always room to grow. If you think you know it all then go back and do some more digging to find something you’ve never seen or heard before.
4. What’s next for your project? What plans do you have in the near future that you hope to accomplish as “Maroc“?
My plan is to flood the streets with new music! I’ve been a little quiet recently but I have been creating like a mad man and this is just the tip of the iceberg. I hope to get my music to more ears this year and hopefully get the opportunity to perform at some bucket list festivals. Other than that I plan on creating my own music label at some point to give up and coming artists an outlet to share their art just as you all do over here at Headbang Society but again, This will be later down the road.
