Slovenian producer and artist Anti Sucksess is a captivating force operating at the sharp intersection of experimental electronic, digital trap, and internet-driven aesthetics. Building a distinct musical identity with cold atmospheric environments, heavy rhythmic structures, and distorted Y2K-inspired visuals, his work prioritises authenticity and a clear, long-term artistic vision. He’s an underground pioneer, fusing ambient, club, and contemporary trap elements into a cohesive and engaging world that’s all his own.
We recently caught up with the artist to discuss the origins of his sound, the experimentation behind his latest release, the genre-defying track ‘Baby Scumbag’, and what the future holds for his unique artistic journey. From finding inspiration in the underground to pushing boundaries on his new project, we dive deep into the mind of a producer determined to forge his own path.
Thanks so much for joining us today! You work at the intersection of several unique genres. When did you first start making music, and what inspired you to find your specific sound?
“I started making music in high school, around eight years ago. I was always drawn to creating sounds, and producing felt natural from the beginning. What inspired me most were underground artists — the ones experimenting outside the mainstream and building their own worlds. That energy made me want to develop my own style.”
Can you tell us a bit about your latest release, ‘Baby Scumbag’, and what it means to you?
“My latest release, ‘Baby Scumbag’, is a fusion of rage beats and signaltrap. This project is really important to me because it represents a moment of experimentation and growth—I wanted to see what was possible when I pushed the boundaries and combined two genres. Creating it taught me a lot about my own creative potential and gave me a clearer vision of the sound I want to explore moving forward.”
What artists or experiences specifically influenced you when putting the new release together?
“The biggest inspiration for this release was actually Ken Carson, who’s my favourite rapper. His energy and fearless approach to rage music really resonated with me. I’ve always wanted to create rage tracks, but I wanted to do it in my own way—taking that raw energy and blending it with my personal style, experimenting with sound design and genre fusion. Certain moments from his tracks, the intensity and flow, pushed me to challenge myself creatively and explore what I could achieve on my own.”
“How would you describe the unique sound on ‘Baby Scumbag’, and your music in general? Has there been a change or evolution in your style since you first began making music?
“I would describe my sound as unique and not directly comparable to other artists. Looking back from when I first started making signaltrap to now, I can see a significant evolution in my style. It’s hard to put into words, but I think each song I release reflects that growth and shows the progression of my creative journey.”
Was there a central message or theme you were trying to convey in the release, or was it primarily an experimental project?
“To be honest, there isn’t a specific message or theme in the release. If anything, the theme is dark in a simple, abstract way. I really wanted to keep it experimental and let the music speak for itself, exploring sounds and emotions without being tied to a defined concept.”
What has the reception been like for the release, and are there any memorable moments that stand out?
“The response to my latest release has been really positive. It’s been amazing to see fans connect with the energy and experimentation in my music—it’s always rewarding to see my work resonate with others.”
What are your aspirations as an artist, and where do you see yourself in the next few years?
“Looking ahead, I want to continue pushing the boundaries of my sound and exploring new, experimental directions in music. My goal is to create a body of work that’s both innovative and authentic, something that stands out and resonates with people on a deeper level. Personally, I see myself growing as an artist and as a person—learning, evolving, and building a legacy that reflects my vision and dedication. In the next few years, I hope to expand my reach, collaborate with like-minded creators, and keep challenging myself creatively.”
What’s next after this release? Do you have any new releases or shows on the horizon?
“Next, I’m thinking about experimenting with combining pluggnb and signaltrap to see how it all comes together. If it sounds right, I might release it as my next project. It’s still in the experimental phase, but I’m excited to explore this new direction and see where it takes my sound.”
Finally, is there anything you would like to say to our audience, and how can they connect with you and help support you?
“To all the readers and my fans, I’d say: stay curious, follow what inspires you, and don’t let anyone limit your creativity. Keep focused on your own path and trust the process. You can connect with me on Instagram and support my music on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, and YouTube.”
