GET THE ALBUM BT Gate X​-​138 – Magadan Pylons HERE You just came out with your new album Magadan Pylons. what was your general theme you had in mind with making this album? There’s a city in south eastern Siberia called Magadan. If you have ever been there, pylons are very visible, those electrical towers and power lines. It’s a contrast to the natural area surrounding the city and that is the theme of the album. What inspired you? I think it’s that contrast between nature and man, even though man is apart of nature as well. So you have this industrial, technological urban environment versus the natural beauty all around. There’s also those older Soviet style buildings and more modern ones intermixed withing the city. I really like the Brutalist architectur

Sponsored post by Hammarica Tell us more about your latest release New World Staccato drums along with some lush keys provide heightened awareness ahead of the drop; a moody, but restrained low growler of a bass line. Plenty of layered textures throughout the A Side of ìNew World,î with crashing wave hits of cymbals, and an interspersed female chant within the main body, providing a euphoric groove for the dance floor. For the deep heads. Might be the biggest track from Ed.E to date. Pling Plong bleeps in the beginning give way to a saw-wave lead. Another moody bass line with layers, ìSubstanceî packs more muscle than the title track, and should satisfy the Bass purists. Funky panning effects on the shaker makes this one special for the headphones crew, and not just the dance floor. An ab

A perfect opportunity to sit down with him and ask him about his motivations. Could you tell us more about your artist name? Where does that come from? Truth be told, when I started DJ’ing, I didn’t take it as seriously as I do now. Jounce was a light hearted silly name; but it is actually a physics term which is too nerdy to elaborate on in this discussion. Anyway, things are moving in the right direction so I’m very serious about the fun now. Do you become a different person when you get on stage? Do you become a different person when you g
