EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Some people call Sander Van Doorn a technical & musical genius. And who can deny it? He has cranked out more dance floor destroyers, sold-out gigs, number one records, and awards than most artists do in a lifetime. With the help of classics like Grasshopper, Punk’d and Riff, recent hits like Love is Darkness and of course massive collabs and remixes of The Killers (Spaceman), Sia (The Girl You Lost To Cocaine), Robbie Williams (Close My Eyes) and Depeche Mode (Peace) Sander shrugged off the confines of genre typecasting long ago and created something he prefers to call 'SvD-style.' [wp_ad_camp_1] What's the main difference with dance scenes in the USA as opposed to Europe? Name some good/bad points. For a lot of American's EDM is still kind of new. The music g

[wp_ad_camp_2] Vocalist TROY D just released his new mini album DTENSION.

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] MOGUAI just went on tour through North America. Hammarica caught up with him for an exclusive interview! [wp_ad_camp_1] If you could steal one thing from Deadmau5' studio, what would that be? I would steal his monitor setup ;-) On ITV Live we heard that at one moment in your career you played hardcore/gabber. Did you also produce these styles at one time? I didn't play gabber or hardcore, I would name it pretty hard techno! At that time when I started djing electronic music was very fast, hard and had an average bpm number of 160-175bpm. I know that sounds fast, but in the early nineties it was just normal because Techno was very much influenced by Industrial music and EBM. For sure I produced tracks during that time, for example my first EP “Best Before End” o

[wp_ad_camp_1] Describe what bass means to you Bass= low frequencies that move people in a crazy way The weirdest thing that has happened on the road? hmmm... probably when I played at a festival in Green River, Utah called "Desert Rocks". I was supposed to play 2-3 on saturday night, on the second stage, (with RJD2 playing on the main stage) but there were 80mph gusts of wind causing an epic sandstorm. The whole festival got shut
