Andy Moor Interview

Even though I’ve been a fan of EDM since the mid 1990’s, thanks to the work of people like BT,Ferry Corsten,Paul Van Dyk, Rowan Blades and Sasha. It’s almost hard for me to remember a time in Electronic Music history, before that trademark Andy Moor sound influenced so much of what we now consider to be the modern sound of progressive dance music.

Tell us a bit more about Andy Moor, before every big name DJ in the world knew your name?

When I was young I was encouraged to play musical instruments, and started playing the piano, the recorder was compulsory at school, and then the Bassoon, so I developed an understanding of music theory from a young age. But my real passion was this electronic music that I was hearing, like Jean Michelle Jarre etc. I was desperate to know how to make those synth sounds and as I grew older was frustrated by an M1 keyboard at school that nobody knew how to use, so I started to sequence that from an atari. By this time I was into early Sasha sets and other EDM music I was managing to get tapes of, so I started djing using my friends equipment. I then went to sit in a local studio in any spare time I had and help out and learn how it was done. It all went from there...

While you’re sound has been a major influence on producers both old and new, I would imagine that you have been influenced by a couple of artists yourself, who would you consider to be some of your greatest influences musically?

As mentioned before, Jean Michelle Jarre was an influence, and other artists such as Vangelis. EDM artists such as Sasha& Digweed, Oakenfold etc all helped forge my musical tastes.

After releasing some of EDM’s most memorable tracks and remixes, you’re about to release your long awaited debut artist album “Zero Point One” on July 6th much to the joy of fans the world over, and having had the privilege to hear a promo copy myself, I cannot wait for it to be unleashed on a very expectant industry. Tell us a bit more about the album, what’s behind the name? Who you’ve worked with and why? And any other interesting facts about it?

I have worked with a variety of vocalists for this album. They were chosen due to the qualities they can bring. I saw it as a challenge to create an album with so many vocals from different vocalists yet still make it cohesive and flow. This was a challenge that I really enjoyed, as it was important for me to make it flow yet still take you on a journey through different styles and "areas" of the album.
The name was chosen for a variety of reasons, I have always been into maths, and music is at its basic form made from binary code, and I love the numbers zero and one, everything is made from them. It just sounded good to me I suppose.

For almost as long as there’s been a scene, the UK has been right on top of it… with DJ’s from the UK, like Carl Cox, Sasha, Digweed and Oakenfold ruling polls like the DJMAG top 100 for a very long time. And while most of the top spots these days are filled by the rest of Europe, DJ’s like yourself, Above & Beyond, Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge are making sure that the UK sound is standing strong, including an amazing label of your own “AVA” are there any up and coming DJ’s or artists you think might be the new big thing?

I think that it is going to be hard to be the next big thing in this genre, due to the way that other genre's now seem to dominate things. You need to do more than make + play good trance music to be the next big thing in my opinion, its a shame, but its reality. I like artists such as Rafael Frost, Tom Fall etc who are making some fantastic club tracks that work so well in a club environment yet still keep the foot in the trance genre.

You’ve collaborated with some amazing producers and singers in the past, anybody you’d love to work with in future?

There are quite a few amazing vocalists & musicians out there that I would love to work with. I also like a challenge, so to work with someone who has no idea what EDM is would be interesting for me, and see what we would come up with.

Your remixes are some of the most sought after in the world, what is your approach as far as remixing is concerned?

The main thing I do is analyze the original track, find which parts I want to use as they are, and then find other interesting ways to be creative with it, such as how to manipulate various parts in other ways. Also if there is a theme to the track, then find a creative way in which to be creative with the theme yet keeping it recognisable.

There is no doubt that you have one of the most unique sounds within EDM, are you a hardware or software man, and what specifically stands out for you from a technical point of view? Or is that something you’d have to kill us for?

I like a combination of hardware and software, but with products such as the UAD cards, Virus synths etc you can get the power of digital hardware and analogue emulations directly through software, making the workflow much better. I still miss using my analogue gear, and it is harder to get a sound that is similar to what I could get from using analogue gear, but I'm mostly in software now, its more practical for me personally and helps the creative workflow.

What is there to know about Andy Moor that we don’t know already? Any hidden talents or hobbies?

I try not to live my personal life in public, so there is probably lots, but I am into quite a lot of things. I study a lot of subjects (one of the perks of spending hours on planes is having time to read), I play a lot of sports, I love cars and I have an interest in nearly everything, other than reality tv.

What’s playing on your IPOD/Mp3 Player or Car Radio at the moment?

I'm strange like that, I like to have a bit of peace in the car, taking in the sounds around me. Other than that I listen to the radio, its nice not knowing what tune is about to come on. As for other times, I choose to listen to a vast range of music, from chillout to experimental rock, I even enjoy some of the pop music thats around at the moment, but thats probably because of the production quality, not necessarily the songs themselves.

What can we expect from Andy Moor and AVA in the near and distant future?

I'm constantly touring but like to get back straight as soon as possible to continue studio work. I'm already thinking about my second album and have a few remixes in the pipeline. I'm currently finishing off club mixes of Zero Point One and will be looking at remixers for that too. AVA Recordings has some great music signed, and I'm looking at developing some of the artists on the label to continually keep up front with our sound and sustain the standards that I hope we have set. As long as we keep the quality the future should take care of itself.

Super8 & Tab Interview

We catch up with the always impressive kings of Scandinavian EDM, Following the release of their incredibly brilliant "Black is Back" single.

Q: When it comes to high quality, innovative EDM, very few artists grab my attention as much as “Super8 & Tab”, but there used to be a time, where you both were solo artists… tell us more about how you guys met, where the names come from and how it happened that dance music crossed your individual paths?

Janne (Tab) -- We have both been into club music since the early 90's and we went to same clubs but really became friends when I moved to same studio over 10 years ago where Miika was working. We both had the same passion for music, so we decided to try to work together and we haven't look back ever since!

The story behind our name is that Miika (Super8) was watching documentary about the Super8 film type when an Anjunabeats label manager called him to say that they need a name for his remix. Miika thought Super8 was a funny name for it but he didn't realise that when Paul van Dyk played it for 2 years a row that there was no turning back to any other name!

I was first Djing with the alias Tapi but one of my promoter friends changed it Tab on the event flyer without asking--maybe he thought Tapi wasn’t cool enough or something? On next event Tab was listed again, so that’s way that got started.


Q: I remember quite a while back, about a year before the release of Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster “Super8”, a friend had a look through some music on my PC and discovered a folder on my laptop called “Super8 & Tab”, which he confused with the film “Super8”and got very excited and started listening to the music as a result, do you think that you guys got any accidental exposure due to the release of the film?

Janne (Tab) -- Yeah for sure! To be honest, it took awhile before we convinced Steven to do that film and if you haven't noticed we have Super8 motels chain in the US, Tab coke drinks, a Tab gambling company in Australia. You know, it’s all part of our product placement strategy! Hahaha ;)


Q: You’ve been an essential member of the Anjuna family from the earliest days, how did the meeting with Anjuna first come about?

Janne (Tab) -- Well, it was those things that was just meant to happen! Miika was working in the studio when Paavo and Jono just accidentally walked into our HelsinkiVibe studio basement. They were looking at some studios and producers in the Helsinki area but didn't know what to expect. Paavo and Jono played some stuff they had been working on and it got our attention. It wasn't long before there were releases coming out from Anjunabeats. So we were extremely lucky in how we met!


Q: Every scene, be it rock, pop, jazz, classical or dance has two sides… a more underground slightly “niche” market, as well as a full blown commercial side, now depending on who you ask these are both essential towards any form of music… but where do you draw the line, at which point would you say, does making money from your art form become “selling your soul”? so to speak…

Miika (Super8) -- Yeah, this is a tricky one. People usually feel that the more popular you get, the more commercial you are no matter if you haven't changed your music or style. The Prodigy has a really underground sound but they are really good at what they do and they are also are very popular. Are they also commercial because their sound is heard on the radio or played at shopping malls, etc.? We don't mind what people say about us, we just like to do our own thing, call it commercial or not.


Q: You’ve remixed some of EDM’s biggest names, lending your very unique sound to some of dance music’s biggest hits including tracks by Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond and Gareth Emery… who would you love to do a remix for in future?

Miika (Super8) -- Something outside from dance music would be nice, something that people would not expect from us. That said, I cannot give you any names and spoil it here! :)

Q: I absolutely love the work you guys do, and in particular love the collaborations with Jan Burton on your “Empire” Album, any chances of a follow up album any time soon, or at least a few singles with Jan?

Janne (Tab) -- Actually, on our next single 'Black is Back' (out 7th of May) we worked with Jan Burton again. We have some tracks with him that will go on next album too but we don't know when that will be out, to be honest. We are working on it but at the moment we just want to release singles and keep the album coming along.


Q: There is no doubt, the Scandinavian EDM scene is bigger than it’s ever been, giving EDM some of it’s greatest producers,dj’s,artists and acts… including Daniel Kandi, Bjorn Akesson, Orjan Nilsen, Above & Beyond’s Paavo Silijamaki, Swedish House Mafia and yourselves of course, what do you think caused this major interest towards dance music?

Miika (Super8) -- Finland has a very active and healthy club scene and people really know their stuff! We also have great community at our HelsinkiVibe studios. We help each other when we stuck at some point. It helps a lot to have fresh ears in next studio room. This helps push our tracks a little bit further.


Q: What inspires you most as producers?

Miika (Super8) -- We are lucky to have opportunity to travel all around the world and meet wonderful people. It’s truly amazing how it opens your mind!


Q: South Africans, myself included missed out on a once in a lifetime chance to catch you guys live at Armin’s epic ASOT 500 about a year ago, any chances we’ll be able to see you guys in SA any time soon?

Janne (Tab) -- There are no words to describe how disappointed we were when we realized we were not going to make it to the ASOT500 event. There are flight cancellations every now and then but not for an event like this! So we’d totally love to come to SA and let’s hope it will happen very soon as we have only heard good things about the scene over there!


Q: What’s playing on your IPOD/MP3 Player/ Car radio at the moment?

Janne (Tab) -- A lot of our demos! The car is excellent place to listen music while you are driving. Maybe you should concentrate more on traffic but it’s just great place to judge all the stuff you’ve been working on. Besides our own stuff, we listen to all kinds of music, no matter what it is.


Q: What is there to know about Super8 & Tab that we don’t know yet, any hidden talents or hobbies?
Miika (Super8) -- I like to do yoga and Janne owns a sports center but you probably already knew that by looking at our slim and fit bodies. Hahaha!


Q: What can we expect from Super8 & Tab in the near and distant future?
Janne (Tab) -- On 7th of May, ‘Black is Back’ feat Jan Burton will be out on Anjunabeats and our remix of Tritonal’s ‘Piercing Quiet’ is due in May too. Then during the summer, there will a lot of Super8 & Tab releases coming out! Of course, we are touring around the globe a lot, hope to be in South Africa too! :)

Fire Through The Window Interview

Q:Band names are quite obviously an essential part of any band, and without a doubt, possibly a band's biggest marketing tool (apart from their music off course). Tell us a bit about The Band name and where it comes from?
A:
Sinead read the phrase in play while she was studying drama a while back. She loved it and it kinda stuck. I was re-naming my old band at the time and suggested it to my bandmates but they said no, so Sinead was like 'Fine! If I ever start a band that's what I'm gonna call it!' - and she did :)

Q:
Durban has been a major hot spot for some of the greatest bands to ever come out of South Africa, easily equaling Johannesburg and Cape Town's effort. What is it about Durban and KZN in general that produces such amazing talent?

A:
Ummm I dunno, I guess it's all the Durban Poison? It's weird though, Durban is pretty isolated from the rest of the country in terms of 'the scene' and sometimes that plays in our favour, producing some bands that are fresh and exciting, making music no one else is doing in the country. Sometimes it doesn't work though and bands can be irrelevant to what's going on nationally. I guess it's just hit and miss.

Q:
Even though most of the industry will tell you that music sales are way down, there is no doubt that South Africa, now more than ever is supporting the local alternative scene on a major scale, thanx to channels like MK who have created a stage for just about everyone with a band, which is obviously great for up and coming talent... But, do you think this has flooded the industry and created unnecessary competition for true talents like yourselves, or do you think this has made everyone step up their game just a little?

A:
Oh definitely the latter, bands and the industry in general have stepped up their game by leaps and bounds in the last 5 years or so. And that is no doubt largely due to MK. The only problem is like you said, over saturation. Seems like ANYONE with a guitar, a garage and a handy-cam is making a music video nowadays. That's great and all, but MK needs to be a little more picky in terms of what videos they playlist. There needs to be a standard. I'm sure in time to come when quality content abounds it'll sort itself out though.
Q:
You guys are about to release the first part, of a brand new 2 part EP, called "Live Long" to be followed towards the end of the year by "prosper"... What's the idea behind the titles? Do we have a couple of star trek fans in the band or am I getting it all wrong?

A:
Nope. You are 100% correct. Star Trek for the win! Although we sure do love Star Wars too. Ha ha. We were looking for a title that works together or on it's own. When I thought of that I just couldn't resist.

Q:
What can we expect from the EP's musically? Good old constant FTTW brilliance, or some surprises?

A:
Well, it's a little more serious at times and a little more edgy/alternative but that being said, it's still us. We still sang with smiles on our faces :) We also recorded with a new producer, Jacques 'Jambo' du Plessis, who is crazy talented. The production a whole lot better too. Guess you'll just have to wait and see, oh no you don't cos it's all up to listen to on our soundcloud! www.soundcloud.com/firethroughthewindow

Q:
I always find it incredibly fascinating, how people in a band find one goal creatively between so many people... Are there ever times that you guys struggle to find one common goal, or do you all basically have the same musical influences and ideas?
A:
I think we all like similar music, but the main thing is we all like a LOT of different kinds of music. From country to hardcore to pop to electronica and everything in between we dig it all. So maybe some of us like hardcore more than others, some of us will then like country more than others. Whatever, it all gels together in the end and I think it's important to draw your influences from more than just the genre you play. If not it can end up a little copycat at times. You know, cast a wide net and see what you catch.

Q:
Any hidden talents or hobbies among the members of the band?
A:
Well, Sinead is in marketing and is currently part of the team launching the Mr Price online store, Wok is a graphic designer in CT, keags is in architecture and I run a design company called Milkbox that mainly does web design. I love that we all do other stuff besides the band, I know for me anyway I need loads of stuff going on all the time or I'd lose my mind. Maybe I'll chill out when I'm older but now is the time to get shit done!

Q:
You're quite well known for playing a good number of festival's around the country, what have your best and worse experiences been on stage?
A:
Ah, that's a tough one, worst experiences include mics smashing into faces, bloody noses, throwing up on stage, passing out from heat on stage, crazy stalker fans attacking, amps exploding, guitars breaking, voices cracking and disappearing. Best experiences? Same ones.

Top 10 tracks among the members of the band at the moment?

A:
1.Bug - Wavves
2.Microphone - Coconut Records
3.Traveling Song - The Avett Brothers
4.You See Me - Childish Gambino
5.It Don't Matter - Anchors Up
6.Goodbye - Best Coast
7.Jen Is Bringin' The Drugs - Margot and the Nuclear So and So's
8.Palomino - Mates of State
9.Volunteers - Megafaun
10.Middle brother - Middle Brother



Q:
What can we expect from FTTW in the near and distant future?
A:
Well we're doing some more launch shows for LIVE LONG around the country, we have two more music videos coming along that will be released in the near future, Sinead and I are getting married in June and off to the states (disney!) for our honeymoon, and then it's back into studio in August to record PROSPER. Then it's more touring, more videos, more launches etc etc etc. AMPED!!

Tritonal's "Piercing The Quiet" Extended Mixes Out April 9

Tritonal's "Piercing The Quiet" Extended Mixes Out April 9, Pre-orders Available Now on iTunes


Written by Erin Osovets // March 30, 2012 // Press Release // Tritonal

MARCH 30, 2012--Since the unstoppable Tritonal released their debut artist album "Piercing the Quiet" in May 2011, it's produced eight top 20 Beatport trance singles, including four that held the #1 position. Now the duo consisting of Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed are set to release "Piercing The Quiet – The Extended Mixes" on April 9 and fans will finally be able to get their hands on the full-length versions of each track from this critically acclaimed LP.

'Piercing The Quiet' was the culmination of two years of intense studio work, a period that saw Tritonal push every angle of their inimitable sound to the next level. Opening with the film-score stylings of 'Poem of Angels', the album ranges out across 15 tracks, taking in the full realm of trance music's sub-genres. With songwriting being a key asset of their partnership, Tritonal teamed up with long-term vocal muse, Cristina Soto to craft four magnificent tracks. Included among them are the beautiful down-tempo 'Everafter' and 'Still With Me', as well as a stunning update to their breakout record 'Piercing Quiet'.

Further collaborations see Winter Kill's singer Meredith Call on the gorgeous 'Broken Down'; U.S. songstress Fisher add lyrics and vox to the upbeat 'Slave; and relative newcomers Jeza, Bethany and Jenry R. all provide outstanding vocal performances. The album is completed with peak-time, main-room floor-stormers, 'Ziziki', 'Retake' and 'Murakami' which continue to rip roofs off nightclubs and uproot festival tent-pegs.

With their 7-days-a-week approach to trance music, Tritonal have released an incredible 100+ original productions and remixes, toured around the globe playing major clubs and festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival, Ultra Music Festival and Creamfields and have firmly cemented their position as America's foremost trance DJ duo.

"Piercing The Quiet – The Extended Mixes" will be released on April 9 2012, with the much-anticipated Remixed Album landing this summer worldwide. Preorders are available now on iTunes.

Kyau & Albert Interview

In the world of Electronic Dance Music, there are 2 magic words, that fill dance floors, top charts and win awards... want to know what they are? 

simple...KYAU & ALBERT!!! 

Q:

Tell us a bit about how you guys got together, and started making the music that's been getting crowds excited for more than 15 years?

A:

Ralph Kyau: We met in 1994 as teenagers, introduced by a friend we both knew. 

Steven Albert: I heard that Ralph was working with synthesizers and I also did music on a computer. After meeting a few times we founded a 2-man-band and two years later we released the first Kyau & Albert record.

Q:

In the last 15 years, the sound of melodic dance music, has changed quite a bit, from innovations in both hardware and software to the merging of various sub-genres... including an evolution from Kyau vs. Albert to Kyau & Albert, what brought on this change?

A:Steven Albert: In 2006 we changed from Kyau vs. Albert to easier form Kyau & Albert. In many non-english speaking countries, we were asked again and again what versus means or questions like...why do you choose versus. Are you always fighting? 

Ralph Kyau: When we started our band, we were simply choosing the versus, cos it just looked good and fresh for us. With the single 'Are You Fine?' we changed to Kyau & Albert. But it's interesting how many people still know about the versus. 

Q:

You have an amazing trademark sound, that has managed to stay fresh and change with the times, what is your production process? and has it changed at all through the years?

A:

Steven Albert: We like to experiement and also love try new things out.

Ralph Kyau: In general we do a ton of demos and rough ideas. Then we pick out the best ones and produce proper tracks. We often play these demos to friends to get a feedback.
Q:

Your label Euphonic, is home to some of Dance Music's biggest breakthrough artists, including incredible acts like Ronski Speed, Stoneface & Terminal and Mirco De Govia. How do you decide what's right for the label?

A:

Ralph Kyau: It depends on if we have a release slot and of course if we simply like the track.Honestly a lot of demos we get are not very unique, some are simply horrible.
Q:

Another major part of Euphonic, is the collaboration with Anjunabeats, how did this come about?

A:

Steven Albert: We know the guys since 2002 or so. In the vinyl days we swapped releases, which meant Above & Beyond singles on Euphonic for the German market and Kyau & Albert on Anjunabeats. So we released their 'Tri-State' album in Germany and they did our 'Worldvibe' CD in the UK plus exports. We're always in contact with someone from Anjunbeats office.

Q:

You're about to release the "15 years of Kyau & Albert" album, a collection of some of your biggest hits, remixed by some great acts including Arty, Ronski Speed,Sun Jellie and Tritonal, how did you decide who would be included on the album, was there something specific about each remixer that stood out for you about them, in the context of each song?

A:

Ralph Kyau: We contacted the remixers and told about the 15 years project. They had quite free hand in picking the songs they wanted to remix.

Steven Albert: The whole project took a lot of time. It was over a year from the first idea till holding the CD in our hands, but it was worth it and the sales are great.

Q:

The album also includes some new original material, What are the chances of seeing a new Kyau & Albert artist album any time soon?

A:

Ralph Kyau: Yeah, we also put new tracks like 'A Night Like This' and 'On The Way' to the album, cos they were big hits in 2011. Additionally we created one brand new track called 'This Love'.

Steven Albert: There's definitively coming a new artist album, we hope in the next 10-12 months. Already working on it.
Q:

What don't we know about Kyau & Albert? any hidden talents or hobbies?

A:

Steven Albert: Possibly no real hidden talent, but we love beer alot and tried so many out in the almost 50 countries we already travlled to.

Ralph Kyau: We also brew our own a few times a year. It's big fun! I have a few hop plants in my garden too.

Q:

What's playing on your IPOD/Mp3 player/Car Radio at the moment?

A:

Ralph Kyau: We're listening to a lot of music, mostly EDM. I sometims listen to classical music. I love to cross the channels on my car radio.

Steven Albert: As we get a lot of promos and demos, I sometimes just enjoy silence, for example when spending time in my garden or while making sports.

Q:

What can we expect from Kyau & Albert in the near and distant future?

A:

Steven Albert: We just finished a remix for our Euphonic label mate Ronski Speed and tnext days also a collab with Marc Marberg. Both get promoted in the next few weeks.

Ralph Kyau: Also check out our collab with Paul van Dyk, which gets released on Paul's label Vandit soon.

Tritonal Interview

Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed have become a formidable team among the EDM faithful, through their incredible work as TRITONAL


A name that has become synonymous with the cutting edge of Electronic Dance Music

Q:Tell us a bit more about the name, what it means, and how you came up with it?

A:Hi guys, cheers for having us. :) Just awoke in Sweden after a massive weekend of touring. Tritonal is derived from "Tritone" which is a specific interval or chord in music. It has a very unique quality, and the word Tritonal is an actual explosive, 80% of which is TNT. We liked the idea of an explosive musical quality.

Q: The term “hit after hit” is something that’s been thrown around by various people in the music industry, without much thought, but in your case… this actually seems to be a tried and tested formula, achieving great success time after time… how do you keep releasing music at the pace you do, and still make sure it’s of such a high quality?

A:Thanks for the compliment, love hearing amazing reactions!! There's no magic secret to be honest, just a couple of guys who wake up every day and work hard. We've taken a 6-day-a-week, full time approach to producing and have worked very hard to finish the amount of tunes we have. It's hard work, consistency and a dedication to quality.

Q: You have a long standing collaborative effort, with the amazing Cristina Soto, a vocalist who’s unique voice has meant a great deal to the Tritonal sound, tell us a bit about how you guys met up with Cristina, and for that matter how the meeting between “Chad & Dave” came about?

A:Loaded question, eh?! Ha. Well Dave and I met online through a Virus TI online forum discussing production & sound design. We became friends there first and established a production partnership. Cristina was introduced to me before I met Dave through a friend, and she had a very unique sound and characteristic to her voice. Once Dave and I started Tritonal, the 3 of us really hit it off and a sorta instant synergy emerged.

Q: Over the years a lot of DJ’s and Producers have had aliases or pseudonyms that show a different side to the artist… and while it’s not a pseudonym, you guys almost always accompany your original mixes, with a slightly more aggressive “Air up there” remix, which coincidentally is the name of your label, tell us a bit more about both the more aggressive side of Tritonal as well as the label, and what the ultimate goal is for Tritonal?

A:Well, Air Up There represents melodic emotion, which should leave the listener feeling effervescent. Regardless of how aggressive or tough our beats are, they are always based upon a catchy, fun and usually uplifting chord progression, melody or vocal hook. We originally were using our Air Up There Remixes to represent the uplifting side of Tritonal. Being as our sound has become much techier, clubbier and focused on massive bass grooves and wicked percussion - almost all of the latest remixes from Piercing The Quiet are 'Club Mixes' built for our DJ sets. Our ultimate goal is to make massive hits, there's no secret about that. We produce the types of tracks that we feel will rock a floor or festival and center those big beats around solid melodies. 

Q: Dance music has seen it’s fair share of phases, both underground and commercial, and Dance music today is bigger than it’s ever been… where do you see Dance music, and in particular Trance, going from here on?

A;It's going as you just said, commercial. Don't think it's ever had a "phase" like this historically, nor do I agree that it's a phase. EDM is quickly becoming a mainstream established genre, and like Hip Hop did in the early 90's, EDM is doing now. It's here to stay. Hip Hop, Rap, RnB, and Pop music have adopted EDM as the new king pin of style in the US, and it's evident from guys like LMFAO, Skrillex, Guetta, Afrokack and more. North America is exploding in EDM and we LOVE IT!! All of the old stigmas are being shed, styles are cross pollinating and the game is changing. The USA is taking over the Globe as the absolute best place to play, and we've seen this evidence from touring. The venues are amazing, the fees paid are generally larger, and the festivals like Electric Daisy Carnival are rivaled by no one. Trance has been and continues to borrow styles from electro, house and techno. It's evolving at rate faster then ever and it's a great time to be unique and creative. We've always tried to continue to be creative, unique and different and will continue to. Trance isn't going anywhere, but the old days and old sound are behind us. 138bpm slamming uplifting trance is dated, and doesn't work well in the US. Trance is changing and we think it's healthy and love it - we're changing too :)

Q: “Chad & Dave” sounds like it could be a great name for among other things, a Restaurant or even a hair salon, have you guys ever considered going into a different game? Any hidden talents or hobbies?

A;Haha!! Well, I've got quite decent skills playing Basketball and did in High School. Not able to play as much as I'd like these days. Dave is pretty kick ass at video editing. We'd love to open a Production school at some point down the line, and are both keen on film scoring as well. :)

Q: From it’s earliest days Dance music had it’s roots in American cities, like Chicago, New York and Miami… but no one would have imagined that one of it’s biggest names would come out of a state better known for Cowboy boots, Country music and Ten Gallon hats… how did dance music cross your path?

A;I learned about dance music early on from underground raves, which were massive in Texas. Guys like Josh Wink, Chemical Brothers and more were bringing a sound never heard before early on. Fell in love with it, and have pursued it passionately since. 

Q: What’s playing on your IPOD/MP3 Player/Car Radio right now

A;Adele - She's friggin smashing it!! Coldplay's new Mylo Xyloto as well, we're both avid Coldplay fans!!

Q: What or who are your biggest influences musically as well as in your lives in general?

A;Chad EDM wise it's - Sasha, Oakenfold & Sander Kleinenberg early on, but later Gareth Emery, Andy Moor and Kyau & Albert.

Q;10: What can we expect from TRITONAL in the near and distant future?

A;Lots of releases and touring in 2012!! ASOT 550 in Den Bosch & Ultra Music Festival, Creamfields 2012 Tour, Tomorrowland in Belgium and many more. Piercing The Quiet (Extended, Club & Remixes) are all set to release in 2012 and we've been little worker ants in the studio and have so many new things to share. :)

Matt Lange Interview

Matt Lange is a name that without fail, is associated with some of the most intricate production I have ever heard, so much so, that the original master of detail (Brian Transeau aka BT). Got you involved on what is arguably his best work.

Q:How did the meeting with BT come about?

A:That connection came out of Berklee College of Music, where I went to college. BT has been mentored by Dr. Richard Boulanger for a number of years now, and Dr. B was my faculty advisor during my senior thesis. Shortly after I graduated, BT was looking for a new engineer to come work for him, and Dr. B recommended me.

Q: Have you ever been confused with legendary pop/rock producer " Mutt Lange" ?

A:Maybe once or twice, but it’s pretty rare actually. I’m frequently mixed up with a certain trance producer, however. It used to be annoying, now he and I joke about it on Twitter.

Q:Apart from being an extraordinary EDM producer, you have also been in a boys' choir and played lead guitar in a metal band, which comes through to a certain degree in some of your work, including your beautiful Avalon/Griffith Park EP which features an amazing fusion of organic elements and electronica. Is this something you purposefully do, or does it come by chance?
A:It’s absolutely on purpose. I grew up performing music, playing instruments, learning music theory. Consequently, I connect far more with acoustic instruments and sounds, than I do with synthesizers. I actually get very bored by the more traditional synthesizer type sounds. I write nearly everything on either guitar or sometimes piano. I think it’s so important to learn to play an instrument, especially now when the human element is so easily lost in these days of technology being able to do everything for you. Dave Grohl seemed to get a lot of flack for what he said at the Grammys about music not being about perfection or all the capabilities within a computer. As indebted as I am to modern technology, I agree with that 100%. A computer will never write something soulful. If music doesn’t stimulate a reaction in the heart, or in the head, then what’s the point?

Q: Dance music has become bigger than it's ever been, producing at least 2 sides to the scene. An extremely commercial side (a necessary evil to quote a DJ I recently interviewed) as well as a much more underground scene, really putting some effort into what they do, be it on the production side of things or as a live act... don't get me wrong, there are some commercial with great live acts as well. What do you think the future of Dance music is? A greater fusion of genres? Starting again from the roots? An Apocalypse?
A:Yeah I think we’ll see a lot more fusion in the next year or so. I think it’s awesome that the mainstream has gotten more interested in the electronic music world. I can say first hand that because of artists like Skrillex and Deadmau5 hitting the mainstream that I’ve personally been given opportunities that wouldn’t have existed otherwise. I don’t really think it’s a “necessary evil,” so to speak, I think it’s wonderful.

Q: Your latest collaboration with Andrew Bayer and Kerry Leva, "In & Out of Phase" is an incredible piece of music, crossing genres effortlessly and almost telling a story, if that makes sense? As someone with an incredibly creative mind, how easy is it for you to collaborate with another artist's creative ideas, and make them work together?
A:Thanks! I’m very very picky when it comes to choosing my collaborations, and I tend to only collaborate with either my friends or other artists I look up or am inspired by (none of which are mutually exclusive by any means!) Andrew and I had been planning on doing something together for a few years, and it just had never materialized until last year. Kerry and I have done a ton of collaborations, and it’s always been very easy for us to get in a studio and hammer out ideas quite fluently. This was a really easy collab in the sense that we all knew each other very well, there wasn’t really any push and pull, we all shared a similar vision of what we wanted the piece to be, and it was just a matter of executing it in a manner that everyone was happy with.
Q:Anyone you would love to work with in future?
A:Imogen Heap, because I love her. Maynard James Keenan, as he’s my favorite singer and lyricist. Animals As Leaders/Tosin Abasi, because they just absolutely inspire me. Noisia because they kick so much ass.
Q:What is your process when it comes to making music, any specific software or hardware that you never leave home without, just in case a great idea comes along?
A: Well my hardware’s quite heavy, so it would be pretty hard to take with me! I have a hard time writing when I’m traveling, I much prefer to be in a studio, locked away from outside distractions. That said, I always bring a field recorder and a microphone with me as you never know when you hear that one random sound that you may never hear again, and if you can capture it, all the better.
Q:You obviously have quite a wide taste in music, what are your top5 favorite acts of all time? be it a band, DJ, Solo Artist, Singer or Songwriter?
A: That’s a really tough one, but off the top of my head, and not necessarily completely accurate... Tool, Telefon Tel Aviv, Steve Reich, Burial, Opeth.
Q:What don't we know about Matt Lange, Any Hidden Talents or Hobbies?
A:My life’s pretty public these days, so I wouldn’t say anything is too hidden! I spend the majority of my free time when I’m home practicing guitar, coercing myself to go to the gym, and hanging out with my dog. I also watch a lot of movies and I love buying seasons of tv shows on dvd so that I can go start to finish through then entire thing without having to wait week after week! Current favorites are Damages and The Shield.
Q:What can we expect from Matt Lange in the near and distant future?
A:There’s a lot going on that I can’t talk about just yet, but I can say a number of cool collaborations are coming. In & Out of Phase comes out this week with some absolutely killer remixes, one of them notably from drum and bass legends Calyx & Teebee. They’ve been huge influences of mine for years, and I’m so honored they agreed to remix it! I’ll also be rereleasing an album called “The Answer To The Question You Forgot To Ask,” on IsoRhythm in March. I wrote it between 2006-2007, and it’s more along the downtempo, glitchy idm style I was writing at that time. I finally have the rights back from the label that originally released it in 08, and I’m very pleased to be able to give it a second life, along with a couple unreleased tracks as well that weren’t on the original release.

Jason 47 Interview

We catch up with Jason47,
And chat to him about what the future of Cape Town's Dance scene holds,
Where Dance music is heading in general, and the fact that he's a Jean-Claude van Damme fan.





Q:Jason47 has been an integral yet underrated part of the South African Dance scene for well over a decade, rolling with the punches of an ever changing scene, yet sticking to what he loves, tell us a bit more about how dance music came across your path and who you were you before that?

A:Well I have pretty much been into the music since I was in school. Spending nights listening to guys like Derek the Bandit on 5FM and being really inspired by the uplifting vibey music he used to promote. In high school remember going to my first Pharcyde “rave” and that was it from there. I fell in love with the culture, the music and the night life. I started DJing in 1999 and within 6 weeks landed residencies at The Gallery, Pure and another club called C2K.

Q:So there's Jason 47, Jason Rockwell and Psyfour 7... explain each name, and what they represent?

A:Its always been really difficult for me to stick to one style of music. A habit I picked up from an old friend, DJ Kenn. First came Jason47, then Rockwell and most recently Psyfour 7. Jason47 is pretty much my main alias known for my hard dance and uplifting trance sets. Rockwell came along when I was getting as many bookings for house clubs as I was for hard dance and trance clubs and because people associate the Jason47 name with harder music, Rockwell was born to appease the more trendy conscious clubbers who didn’t enjoy the more ravey clubs. Psyfour 7 came about a year ago because of my love for psytrance. Id actually almost completely stopped DJ’ing because I had started my own business, so I thought if I was going to do gigs, id want it to be psytrance as that’s the music I’ve been completely overcome by since about 2006.
Even as Jason47 now, my music is more focused on the day time psytrance sound and Psyfour 7 would be the dirty night time dark and melodic vibes. Im starting to think I have developed multiple personality syndrome!

Q:Over the years, Dance music has seen it's fair share of trending genres, with some staying, some going, and some evolving... anything out there you wouldn't mind seeing make a comeback?
A:To be honest I really loved hard dance music and that lumo influenced rave scene but its all part of the musical evolution process. You can never get it back. You have to keep moving forward otherwise you get left behind. Trance fortunately has its cycles and the euro trance scene keeps re-inventing itself. I miss that old ‘System F – Out of the blue’ sound though.
Q: Any style you hope never makes a comeback?
A:There are some people that will hate me for saying this but Happy Hardcore and Hardstyle are my two pet hates. There are loads of people out there who still love it though so you have to respect that. My theory is “if you don’t like it, don’t listen to it”
Q:The Dance scene in South Africa and the world for that matter is bigger than it's ever been, with promoters making a bigger effort than ever before to get on the bandwagon and get the world's biggest Dj's , Artists and acts over to our shores on a more constant basis, and while some do an excellent job at it. Others, be it by being unexperienced, total disregard or purely "bad luck" make a complete mockery of what a lot of South African's follow religiously. Do you think there are enough SA "ravers" to keep the industry booming to spite this?
A:I think the euro trance scene is always big and the psytrance scene at the moment is definitely at its biggest ever. Even electro and dubstep are massive so there are quite a few club genres that are sharing the spotlight right now which is great. You would think that with all these genres having so much support that there would be more clubs! As for big artists coming down, I think after the recent Paul van Dyk scenario promoters will be scared to bring down big internationals. The thought of having to refund every clubber who wasn’t happy is just too scarey. Ive been in this industry a long time and things go wrong which are often out of your control as a promoter so with the new consumer protection acts its more risky than ever. There are definitely enough clubbers and party goers to go around. The question is, are there enough promoters around now willing to risk bringing big names out again? On a positive note this is good for the local acts and DJ’s.
Q:A lot of dance music has made it's way into the charts with an overwhelming sense of pop and "cheese" and while I think this has opened a lot of people's minds towards dance music, and possibly made the scene grow... some harm might have been done to Dance's reputation, luckily it seems because of this the "underground" seems to be stepping up their game, with acts like Sibot, truely showcasing the fact that electronica isn't just a dude pressing play on a cd player. What are your views on the new up and coming underground scene in SA, and especially Cape Town?
A:Club music in general has again become very mainstream. Music like psytrance and dubstep which are very much underground sounds are now found on national radio stations like 5FM. I think its great because it creates more interest, more DJ’s, more producers, more competition. A lot of people always moan because they want the music to stay underground. I say share the love J A DJ or producers ultimate goal is to reach as wide an audience as possible. Music connects people and brings us all together. That’s the whole point. The ‘cheese’ is like the bridge that helps people to transition from radio music to club music. It’s a “necessary evil”.
I saw Sibot for the first time at the Gatecrasher event and I was very impressed. Its great to see artists like this come through and there are more just like him. He creates a great persona and stage presence and in my opinion, nothing beats a live act. As for other new DJ’s there are good and there are bad. I come from the old school vinyl generation so to me its depressing when I meet a DJ who plays off his lap top and has never beatmixed a track by ear because of the Sync feature on his software. The flipside of that coin is, the old school DJ’s need to accept the new technology as well. Its there, people are going to make use of it. The definition of the term DJ is not what it used to be. Times have changed. You need to move with the times or you will get left behind.
Q:What's playing on your IPOD/Mp3 player/Car radio at the moment?
A:My set at Gatecrasher before Paul van Dyk is currently in my car CD player. Which for those interested can download here… http://www.mediafire.com/?qkk6hyx178gpy61
Q: What don't we know about Jason47? any hiden talents or hobbies?
A:Umm.. lets see. When you come to my parties, I make the décor myself. I like to be able to do everything! I love watching anime and am obsessed with superhero movies! I am also a great fan of Jean-Claude van Damme. (don’t laugh)
Q:What are the chances of seeing Jason47 up north in Joburg any time soon?
A:I used to play in JHB quite often but since I started taking DJing more seriously again I’ve been so busy that the thought never even crossed my mind to get gigs up there. The sound im playing now would go down nicely there in my opinion. Im also a big fan of DJ Speedy from JHB. All round nice guy and awesome DJ to listen to. Maybe I should give him a call.
Q: What can we expect from you in the near and distant future?
A:Im very lazy when it comes to music production but realistically that’s the only way forward for me now. I would love to get something going in terms of a live performance but locking down one style of music to stick to is the difficult part. Hopefully lots more gigs in the trance scene as that’s my passion at the moment.

Mr.Sakitumi Interview

We chat to Mr. Sakitumi about his magic 8 ball, his favorite "Grrrl" and I get wrapped over the knuckles.

Q:

Whether you say “Sakitumi”, “Sock it to me” or Sean Ou Tim, one thing is sure, as a multi-instrumentalist technical genius, this is a name that’s on everyone’s lips… tell us a bit about yourself, where does the name come from, how you got it and why you decided that this would be how you represent yourself?

A:
I'm not too tall and I'm not too short either, although the hat does add some extra height. I can blend in amongst a group of Asian tourists, although easy to spot, as I will be the one without a camera.
You can't see me in the darkness, well, you can't see anyone in the darkness.
I play various instruments, using them with electronic music and vice versa.
The name actually came out of joking around. I started doing beats on my sampler (electronic music device) and began moonlighting here and there, til one day I got booked to play a gig.
i was told i needed a name, so i jokingly came up with 'Mr Sakitumi', which seems to have stuck around;)
It's a play on how it sounds, puts a smile on people's faces. Sometimes when I'm greeted, it gets pronounced in many ways and accents, which is pretty cool.



Q:

You’re style of music seems to merge sounds both old and new, to create something that consistently stays fresh, tell us a bit about your process, what inspires your production, and what are your biggest influences?

A:

I'm fortunate, in that being a multi-instrumentalist, i'm able to approach writing my tracks from a different angle (instrument) each time. it does help me to realize some of the bits of melodies i hear in my head.
most of my ideas come out when i'm away from my studio, my phone being the first device i hum/sing (pretty badly) into.
when i'm back in my studio, i'll play through a list of recordings and see what grabs me to take it further.
then there are those obvious days of jamming around in the studio, where something might come up.
i've actually taken the time to list my influences on my myspace page....does it still exist, i hope so? i wrote down quite a lot.
there are also amazing producers locally, who inspire me to keep at it.

Q:

Your distinctive sound has graced many a dance floor, as Mr.Sakitumi and what a lot of people might not now, as a founding member of the pioneering “Max Normal TV”, with Waddy Jones, better known by some as “Ninja” from the highly controversial “Die Antwoord” do you still have a lot of contact with Waddy, and what are your thoughts on “Die Antwoord”?

A:

Correction, it was just 'max normal', here's a short chronology for those who don't know:
in order leading up to today:
the original evergreen => watkin tudor jones jnr=> max normal (waddy, sibot, mark buchanan and myself) => constructus=> the fantastic kill=> maxnormal.tv => die antwoord
the thing about ninjas, is that they are so sneakily stealthy, that it's not easy to see them when they are around;)
die antwoord has captured the imagination of the world and that has been fascinating to see. the way they broke out of the country also deserves kudos.
i personally don't think their ideas will dry up, so i'm interested to see how they evolve and what will be next. one thing is for sure, it'll be extreme and pg rated ;)

Q:

Thanx to organizers, like the amazing people over at “Griet”, underground electronic music, is getting a major platform in South Africa, and people are opening up to styles and genres much more. Where do you see electronic music in South Africa and the world going in the near and distant future?
A:

So many organizers (like griet, sshadoworkss) and sponsors (like redbull studios cape town) have worked hard to build the scene here, i mean, i feel fortunate to be able to do what i do in south africa.
there has been amazing growth to the point where some of our guys headline electronic parties, stages and festivals locally as well as abroad.
wrt the second part of the question, i asked my magic 8 ball and it said... "ask again in the near and distant future"

Q:

Your debut album “Secret Asian Man”, is an incredible piece of musical art… and seems to catch a true glimpse into who Mr. Sakitumi is, up to and including the title… “Secret Asian Man”… what don’t we know about Mr.Sakitumi? any hidden talents or hobbies?
A:

Thanks,I appreciate the appreciation.
I can write cursive backwards quite fluidly, suppose boredom in class led to it, but one day, that great purpose will be revealed....where's my magic 8 ball?

Q:

I recently read somewhere, that your wife is in the Industry as well… Do you ever worry about her getting a lot of unwanted attention from fans, or is it the other way around?
A:

In the industry? is she? really? where? ;) she's her own person and handles herself really well.
check out www,facebook.com/thegrrrl

Q:

You’ve collaborated with a vast array of impressive and diverse artists including Goldfish and Johnny Clegg, is there anyone specific you’d love to work with in future?
A:

Shirley bassey (she sang a bunch of the old classic james bond themes)

Q:

What’s playing on your IPOD/Mp3 player/Car radio at the moment?
A:

The new lark album stuff, we're playing again soon and i need to refresh the songs in my mind.

Q:

You work with an arsenal of instruments and hardware, which you use to their fullest potential… is there any software that makes it into the mix… and is there any one instrument or piece of hardware that you still really want to get and use in your work?
A:

Softwarewise, i use abelton live + maxforlive + native intruments + mspinky for all of my stuff.instrumentwise, funny you should ask, i've just started cello.

Q:

What can we expect from Mr. Sakitumi in the near and distant future?
A:

2nd album, music video, more collaborations.
as well as a mr sakitumi with a better magic 8 ball? (it does tell me this article will be out in the near future)
thanks for the interview:)
