In this interview with Rave Jungle, SkyDisc opens up about the deeply personal story behind his latest single “Coming Down,” the challenges that shaped his journey as an artist, receiving support from respected names in electronic music, and the creative vision driving the project forward.

Thank you for getting a chance to chat with us! Can you tell the readers a little bit about yourself?
My name is Davor, I’m originally from South Eastern Europe, but now living in DFW Texas, I love all things electronic music, especially drum & bass.
Your recent track “Coming Down” has a really emotional and meaningful story that reflects the loss of your mentor. We want to share our condolences, by the way. What was it like turning something so personal into a record people can connect with on a bigger level?
Thank you for the kind words. You know, when I first made the song, it wasn’t really about trying to reach a lot of people—it was honestly just me trying to process losing someone who meant everything to me.
It came from a really real and painful place. But I think that’s why people connect with it, because grief, love, and loss are things almost everybody understands in some way. Turning something that personal into a record was emotional, but seeing other people find comfort or see themselves relate makes it feel bigger than just my story now.
RIENK brought a huge emotional presence to the record. What made him the perfect fit for this collaboration?
His songwriting skills, production, and vocals have been inspiring me since I first heard him years ago; I just knew the vibe he brings would be a great combination of his style and mine.
You’ve shared stages with artists like Vini Vici, YDG, and Blanke’s AE:ON MODE project while also playing events like Lights All Night and Deadbeats’ Jamboree. What have those experiences taught you so far?
Sharing stages with artists like Vini Vici, YDG, and Blanke, while getting to perform at events like Lights All Night and Deadbeats’ Jamboree, has honestly been surreal. Every one of those moments reminded me why I fell in love with music in the first place.
What I’ve learned most is that the artists who truly leave an impact are the ones who stay authentic—no matter how big the stage gets. Watching how they connect with people, control energy, and pour emotion into every set showed me that this isn’t just about playing songs; it’s about creating a feeling people carry with them afterward.
You’ve spent over a decade DJing and years producing. Looking back, what were some of the biggest moments or challenges that shaped you as an artist?
Looking back, I think the biggest thing that shaped me as an artist was simply staying committed through all the years when nobody was really watching yet. Spending over a decade DJing and years producing taught me patience in a way nothing else could.
There were so many late nights, setbacks, self-doubt, and moments where it felt like progress was moving painfully slow, but those are honestly the moments that built me the most.
At the same time, the challenges taught me just as much as the successes did. Learning how to trust my own sound, not compare my journey to others, and continue creating even during periods where inspiration felt distant was a huge part of my growth.
I think every artist goes through moments where they question themselves, and I definitely had those moments too. But over time, I realized that the struggles, the uncertainty, and the years of grinding quietly are what give the music meaning in the end.
You’ve already earned support from names like Borgore, Natty Lou, and John Askew pretty early on. Has receiving that kind of recognition changed your confidence or motivation at all?
Getting support from artists like Borgore, Natty Lou, and John Askew, and now a lot more, definitely meant a lot to me, especially because these are artists I genuinely respected long before they ever knew who I was.
When you spend years creating music in your own world, you sometimes wonder if the things you’re making are truly connecting with people, so hearing support from artists at that level was a really emotional and validating moment for me.
At the same time, I think it motivated me even more than it boosted my confidence. It reminded me that the hard work, the long nights, and the years of staying consistent were actually leading somewhere. But it also made me realize there’s still so much room to grow creatively and personally.
Lastly, it feels like SkyDisc is building real momentum right now. What are some goals you’re focused on next — whether that’s festivals, collaborations, touring, or evolving the project creatively?
Right now, I’m just focused on continuing to grow SkyDisc in a way that feels genuine to who I am and to the people who have supported me from the beginning.
Seeing the project build momentum has been really emotional at times because there were so many moments early on where I questioned if any of this would actually become real. So now, every opportunity feels like something I never want to take for granted.
Of course, there are big goals—playing more festivals, touring in new cities, and collaborating with artists I’ve looked up to for years. But more than anything, I want to keep evolving creatively and pushing the project into new territory while still holding onto the emotion that made people connect with it in the first place.
I never want the music to feel empty or made just to follow trends. I want it to tell stories, capture feelings, and give people something they can truly connect to.
With “Coming Down,” SkyDisc proves that electronic music can be both emotionally vulnerable and sonically powerful at the same time.
As the project continues to evolve through new music, bigger performances, and deeper storytelling, it’s clear that SkyDisc is building something rooted in authenticity and genuine human connection.
From years of grinding behind the scenes to gaining recognition from major names in the industry, the journey is only just beginning. If this latest chapter is any indication, SkyDisc is a name electronic music fans will be hearing a lot more from in the near future.
