Juan Atkins – An Exclusive Interview With The Originator Of Techno

[wp_ad_camp_2] If it wasn't for Juan Atkins, many of us might not have discovered the music known as techno. In the early 80's he was the one to release the first techno record ever, next to his lauded work as an electro pioneer. We are honored to have him for an interview on Hammarica.com Juan, you have performed at events all over the world ranging from dark undergound parties to the most slick produced mega events. Of course it is always a kick to play in front of thousands. But if you were to choose, would you pick a dark strobe-lit hole filled with banging techno til the early morning.. Or a bigger commercial event where you only get to play for 1.5hr. tops? Well some events are not always 1.5 hrs tops.. I mean usually I do get to play two hours at these big events. You kno...

Computer Controlled – Exclusive Interview With The Raw Acid Genius.

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] You currently live in Seattle, but originally you come from the Midwest. Could you tell us how you first got involved with the rave scene there and acid house in particular? I don't remember just exactly how I started listening to Techno, but it was back in 1991, I know that. Then I started hearing about these things called Raves and got interested. By mid 1992, some friends started to bounce around the idea of starting a "Smart Bar". A portable bar set up was built out of PVC piping and plexiglass. And Cybertonix was born =o] Halloween 1992 was my first Rave, called, appropriately enough, Grave Rave. That got busted 2 hours in by the Milwaukee PD. Myself and a bunch of others spent 19 hours in a holding cell before finally being released. Normally, tha...

The Sound Of Trance: Seattle Favorite Johnny Monsoon Exclusive Interview

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Your podcast.. It is insanely popular! How did it get so big? At first I thought it was some sort of mistake, hahahaha! Don’t get me wrong, this didn’t happen overnight, but once the growth started, it kept continuing to grow. But then I started getting massive amounts of emails from listeners all over the world and it was clear that they simply enjoyed what they were listening to and would spread it amongst their friends and family. Word of mouth advertising is so amazing as people tend to trust their friends/family much more than a cheesy advertisement of a DJ staring off into nowhere (yes I have those pics as well, my podcast pic is one of them! LOL). You had a mainstage debut performance at the Gorge last Summer, a gigantic open air venue in WA state. How many

Dubbin And Dabblin with DJ Dab – Exclusive Interview

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Where does your artist name come from? During the early to mid-80's I went by Sir Swift. I was a Breaker, Beatboxer, Graffiti artist and DJ. But as my DJing progressed and I matured a little I realized it was time for a name change. At the time I remember digging through a dictionary, for days, and finally stumbled across Dabster: One likes to dabble/ One who is a master of their own trade. The latter seemed fitting. LOL. Around 1991 I shortened it to Dab (also means Donald Allen's Boy) [wp_ad_camp_1] You have been a beat producer since the early 80's whether it was house, hiphop or any other style. Could you tell us a bit more about your early hiphop records and collabs? All my exploits in last question led up to me making a progressive move to go out and attem

Kate + Skrillex + Major Rage Drops = PARTYROCK

EDM NEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Monday Sept 3rd started like any other for me. Woke up late, rushed around to get ready and run my errands, but unlike any other day I could not be put in a bad mood. I was going to Bumbershoot and seeing M83, Two Fresh, and Skrillex for the first time. Finally I rounded up my date, all my gear, and got in my car headed towards Seattle. Unfortunately by the time I parked, and got into The Bumbershoot Music and Arts festival - M83 had already started. Still I ran through to the main stage entrance aka The Key Arena - only to see a sign "EVENT FULL." I stopped mid-run kind of surprised. The thought never even crossed my mind that it could fill up. Disappointed and kind of worried about this whole first come first serve situation, I walked away with my date and scoped out

How Does He Mix Without Headphones? JOOP Exclusive Interview

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] You recently stormed the scene with your new release 'Just One Night' which was on top of the charts for several weeks and supported by Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin, W&W and Leon Bolier. It came with a slightly different sound than what people were used to from you and used a mixture of trance elements blended with house and even some electro/dubstep like sounds. Is this a sound we can also expect for future releases? First of all thank you for having me! I was very happy when “Just One Night” was finished in the studio. I always try to do something that creates a certain reaction. It’s very difficult to create something fresh or new after your last release. I’m known for not releasing shitloads of tracks, although the last year I released more than I normally
