Son of Son Shares Vision Behind Hit Collab With Anyma and Argy, Voices In My Head

Published on Friday, 14 February 2025 05:30

When two Afterlife powerhouses join forces with Son of Son, or "The Great Blondino," the result is pure magic.

The surging melodic techno producer has teamed up with Anyma and Argy, two of the genre's biggest stars, to release "Voices In My Head." The transformative track is a pure adrenaline rush, with a vocal hook that captivates and hypnotizes in equal measure.

After many viral appearances in Anyma's historic Vegas Sphere residency, the hotly anticipated track hit streaming platforms today ahead of a tour for Son of Son, who is primed for a sweeping February tour of India. Meanwhile, Anyma is preparing for his final shows in the record-breaking Sphere, which he recently called "the future of live experiences."

EDM.com caught up with Son of Son to discuss his creative vision, artistic goals and the story behind "Voices In My Head."

EDM.com: What was it like working with Anyma and Argy to produce "Voices In My Head" and how has your relationship with each artist blossomed?

Son of Son: All I can say is that, despite the industry being a bit shitty sometimes, I just feel total gratitude for everything. Both Anyma and Argy are a huge part of this track. It really was a collaborative team effort. Anyma is the undisputed champion and Argy changed my life forever, man.

We each bring our own perspectives, which makes the process even more dynamic, and I will always be thankful for what he has done for me. It took 13 years for someone to finally give Son of Son a chance, and Argy was the first guy to do it. No one else ever did.

EDM.com: Where did the concept for the track's vocal sample come from?

Son of Son: I was up late night working as usual and I got the idea to make a track about the creative voices keeping me awake. I had the concept ready in my mind so I started writing a few different phrases about not being able to sleep, or being awake, or hearing voices.

Eventually I came up with the final phrase and used AI to create the voice. Basically the first time I wrote lyrics myself.

EDM.com: Tell us about your affinity for jazz and how your interest pivoted into producing electronic music.

Son of Son: I heard Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" for the first time when I was a kid and that song made 12-year-old me go, ”Damn, these guys smashing the drums are super cool." After some successful nagging, my mom helped me buy a drum set.

The only problem with being a 12-year-old jazz drummer is that you have no one to play with. A few years later I snuck into a deadmau5 show with fake passes and from that point on, I knew exactly what I was going to do with my life—I sold the drum set and bought a computer instead to make electronic music.

EDM.com: How did your nickname, "The Great Blondino," come about?

Son of Son: A friend of mine commented "The Great Blondino" on one of my posts. She’s as blonde as you can get too. People loved it and it became big. All of a sudden everyone started saying it.

It originally comes from a song by Stakka Bo, the guy who directed HBO’s Chernobyl. Who knows, maybe I’ll sample his song and release it some day.

EDM.com: How does your interest in fashion play into your music?

Son of Son: I was the strange kid in high school who drew sketches of clothes in my math books. The interest was always there—I even made some of my own clothes because I couldn’t afford the stuff I wanted. It’s a form of expression for me and it’s all very natural to me. The way I dress, the humor, the way I move on stage, the way I make content… it's a very well-curated package.

I feel like almost every other DJ still doesn’t understand the importance of having flavor. Some character. We already have guys wearing the same black t-shirts onstage and that’s totally fine, but it’s not me. I’m happy to give people a part of myself—something different, something they’re not used to. I know that’s what they’re craving right now.

EDM.com: What has been your most fun live performance to-date and why?

Son of Son: I’ve had so many outstanding shows but I’ll give you the top three. The "X" show in Cartagena was perhaps the greatest night of my life. There was a flood in the city—my set was paused for 30 minutes due to thunder and rain—but we still had a great time with the crowd. I met a lot of amazing people and great new friends, and I danced with Adriatique and a wonderful group of beautiful girls all night. Thank you Adriatique.

My Cairo show was chaotic—loved it. There were like five or six fights, it was probably 35° Celsius in the club, I had a great time with this beautiful girl there, some really good tea, some hardcore Egyptian gangsters wanted to take photos with me after the show… it was just wild, man. Punk concert!

My show in Tunisia with the Alees World crew was probably the show with the most positive and loving atmosphere I’ve ever done. They also surprised me with a birthday cake, which was nice.

EDM.com: What are some of your top goals, both musical and personal, for 2025?

Son of Son: My biggest personal goal is always to take care of my mom, and to make sure I stay healthy and love every second of my work.

Musical goal? I’m going to keep throwing curveballs all the time, both in my sets and in my releases. Don’t expect me to do what everyone else is doing.
