Hammarcia.com Daily DJ Interview: Roger Linn

[wp_ad_camp_2] Technically speaking, Roger Linn is not a DJ. Far from it essentially. Yet his creations are cheered by generations of DJs and other types of musicians. Roger Linn is a designer of high-tech products for musicians. Among his celebrated work we find the legendary Linndrum and Akai MPC 60 drum machines.

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

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’
