Hammarica.com Daily DJ Interview: JOHN 00 FLEMING

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] John 00 Fleming is an artist who has achieved international success in a career spanning over 20 years without dishonouring his musical essence or fans. With over 10 million album sales and 30 produced mix compilations, John’s a proven musical pioneer whose essence lies in what his fans call, ‘the J00F sound’.

Giuseppe Ottaviani Feat. Amba Shepherd – Lost For Words

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, TRANCE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] The man who shaped trance music into a live performance art returns this month with another high octane, apex-ascending floor thriller. On the Club and On Air Mixes, Giuseppe spikes ‘Lost For Words’ with seismic drums; sensationally plucked strings, hypersonic synths and a full spectrum of other big room components. To that Amba Shepherd (whose recent studio work includes tracks with Porter Robinson and Ferry Corsten) adds her unique vocal inflexion. Pitched perfectly between the points of lamentation and elevation, her heart-in-mouth lyrics and breath-stealing song push ‘Lost For Words’ into the stratosphere. With Armin van Buuren all over the Giuseppe Ottaviani rework of Paul van Dyk Ft.Plumb’s ‘I Don’t Deserve You’, the trance overlord has been eq

Hammarica.com Daily DJ Interview: Aruna Of Velvetine

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] What will be the vision of Velvetine and how does it set itself apart from your other projects? The whole idea behind the formation of Velvetine was that of musical freedom. As much as Myon & Shane and I loved the music we were making at the time, we felt there was this whole other side of ourselves that we wanted to showcase. Something a bit more sophisticated and elitist, where the rules of club music don't necessarily apply, where it was more a labor of love and self-expression than trying to make a hit per se. Funny that sometimes those releases are the ones that end up being the most successful. [wp_ad_camp_1] How will a Velvetine live performance sound? Will everything be vocal, or do you guys leave room for each other where there will be instrumental par

Hammarica.com Daily DJ Interview: Seattle Favorite Marq

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] You are a trance DJ and producer from the US. Dubstep and electro seem to gain a lot of momentum Stateside, but trance still has its loyal following. How would you describe the current US trance scene? Dubstep & Electro have definitely taken center stage in a lot of ways in the US; it’s a good thing that more people are getting exposed to EDM. I think what makes trance so timeless is the emphasis on harmony & melody that is often lacking in other genres; so once people start looking for something deeper in the music, trance will be there waiting. Look at acts like Porter Robinson, his track Language, it is very trance influenced. I think people will grow into trance once given time & exposure. I think every market in the US is unique, it’

[wp_ad_camp_2] Better known to his family and friends as Adrian Ivan, it’s under the assumed name of Mr Pit that he’s spent the last 5 years delivering one block-rocking track after another to the world’s trance floors. Markus Schulz is one of his biggest fans. Therefore, we are happy to have Mr. Pit featured in our series of daily DJ interviews at Hammarica.com! [wp_ad_camp_1] If you could describe your style with 3 words, what would these be? Naughty, Energic, Melodic How will trance sound 5 years from now? Only the time can tell for sure, but my suppose is that the actual trance music sound will morph into an even more club sound rather than one for listening at home. Is there any special collab coming up with Markus Schulz? Our recent collab "Push The Button" has
