Saintbull Interview: “Pattern", Moodyverse & His Melodic DNA
Saintbull on “Pattern”, Moodyverse and the Feeling Behind the Groove
Saintbull steps into the Melodic Deep universe with a new chapter that connects perfectly with our In-Depth Mix series: emotional intensity, progressive tension and a sound built for both the club and open-air moments.
His latest track, “Pattern”, is part of Cyklus 02 - Part II on Moodyverse, released on May 29, 2026, alongside music from Nairo and Villanø. The release continues Moodyverse’s curatorial path through melodic house, techno and indie dance, bringing together different artistic angles under one coherent sonic identity.
Saintbull explores the balance between chaos and melody, aggression and emotion, club energy and progressive storytelling. Built around a melody that stayed with him before ever reaching the studio, this track reflects many sides of his musical DNA: the power of rock and metal, the melodic influence of early trance, and the modern, driving synth work that defines his current sound.
Melodic Deep Interview with Saintbull
Following his guest mix for Melodic Deep In-Depth, we caught up with Saintbull to talk about the images behind “Pattern”, his creative process, his connection with Moodyverse and why feeling remains at the core of everything.
What’s the first image that comes to mind when you hear “Pattern”?
What’s the first image that comes to mind when I hear "Pattern"? I see myself making the track, trying to create a complex production while breaking out of that chaos to transform it into a melodic and progressive track.
Dark room or open air for this track?
Dark room or open air? Both. Since it’s an aggressive track, it can work great in a club, but it’s also melodic and progressive, so it fits perfectly open air.
You started with progressive rock and dance music influences. What’s one sound from your past that still secretly lives inside your music today?
You started with progressive rock and dance music influences. What’s one sound from your past that still secretly lives inside your music today? Yeah, I actually used to play drums as a kid and I also love metal. I keep that power and aggressiveness found in nu-metal, as well as the influences from listening to Tiësto back in 2003 or trance artists like Paul Oakenfold and Armin van Buuren. That's where I get that melodic DNA from progressive trance.
What came first with this track: the groove, the melody, the mood, or the weird little detail only you notice?
The groove, the melody, the mood, or the weird little detail only you notice? Particularly with "Pattern", I kept waking up with that melody stuck in my head. One day I said, "Okay, I need to lay this down." I sat down, the melody came out first, and then everything else followed.
Describe “Pattern” in three words, but one of them has to be a feeling, not a music word.
Journey, chaos, and nostalgia.
What’s the most “Saintbull” thing about this release?
I’d say the groove and the dynamic shifts. I really love using those aggressive, modern synths. The Saintbull sound is characterized by being dynamic without ever losing the groove and intensity.
What’s your weirdest studio habit?
I don’t think I have any in the studio. The strange part happens outside: I go for a walk around my neighborhood, always on the exact same street, pacing back and forth with my headphones on, writing down notes on what the track needs to be finished. So yeah, that happens outside.
When should a DJ play “Pattern”?
I think it can easily be played at the peak of a warm-up set—depending on who is playing next—or as a crucial turning point in a main set, like a bridge track.
What does Moodyverse mean to you in one sentence?
To me, Moodyverse is a massive label driven by people who truly love music, and that reflects in every single release. They have grown so much over the last few years, and I feel the label has no limits.
What matters more: dancing, feeling, or surprise?
Feeling. Because if you can make people truly feel the music, the dancing and the surprise come naturally together. So, I'd say feeling.
Thanks everyone, and I hope you enjoy my new track!
