We had the opportunity to talk to the talented duo Weekend Heroes, formed by producers Felix Nagorsky (known in the PsyTrance scene as Timelock) and Eli Baltsan (known in the Deep House scene as DJ Zombi), who have been making history in the Progressive House scene in recent years with powerful releases by labels such as Siona Records, Zerothree Music, EIN2 Recordings, Anjunabeats and many others.
In conversation with them we talk about the present and future of electronic music, in addition to hearing very interesting things from the guys themselves about new music and future projects.

Since 2021 I’ve been seeing Weekend Heroes dropping a lot of awesome tracks. Could I say that this is the best moment for this project?
Weekend Heroes: Well, we had noticeable highlight around 2010 – 2012. But yes, now we are full time into the project and things looks (and sounds) good at the moment. Thanks! 🙂
Your recent ‘Dragonfly’ EP is a really Progressive House banger with two killer tracks. Could you guys tell us about the EP and what the idea it came from?
Weekend Heroes: Dragonfly EP made as mixture between Prog House, Melodic Techno and high energies. We just wanted to make real “banger” for the right moments, when party needs that.

About EIN2 – no. But we have signed an EP to their mothership label Einmusika!
Among the artists of the new generation of electronic music, is there anyone that catches your attention?
Weekend Heroes: There is many, as we open for different kind of sounds. There is great producers such Argy, Kevin De Vries and on other hand great “deeper” acts such Sebastian Leger and Lost Desert for example. We like tight and professional sounding music, so this aspect is important to us.
Do you have a “Dream collab” in the Progressive House or Melodic Techno scene?
Weekend Heroes: Sasha! Or Han Zimmer! Would be so lovely to share studio time with them. 🙂
In your opinion what is the most exciting thing happening in dance music currently?
Weekend Heroes: There are many exciting things going on. We like the Organic House movement for its vibes and really cool crowd. We also done some tunes in that direction.
And now looking ahead, how do you guys see the electronic music future in the next 10 years?
Weekend Heroes: Hopefully growing into mature scene with beautiful events and crowds. Less commercial, more soulful and with meaning. We live Electronic Music over two decades now and easily can say – Music is our life and our life is Music.
