[wp_ad_camp_2] You are a busy bee keeping up with your own record label Televisionary Records, releasing on other well known labels and last not but least Djing all across the nation. How do you keep up? I have much more practice pacing myself these days I've been performing since I was  8 and DJing out since I was 20 now I'm 31 so I've  worked on music skills but I've also learned the skills of pacing myself. You're known to have love for not just one style of dance music. If you could list three of your favorite genres of EDM, what would these be? Genres are like racial lines these days. So polarizing! I personally don't see them as separate anymore. I just see them as threads in the same blanket of Electronic.  Trance is very special to me for its longevity and caliber.  Bre

[wp_ad_camp_2] Hi Artento, first off: thanks for joining Hammarica.com with this interview! Thanks for this interview, always a fun thing to do. You just released your new banger Elevation on Marco V's In Charge label. It has quite a gritty bassline combined with a catchy melody. How did this production come to life? Yes that is true. The production happened through a Skype conversation when I was waiting for my flight at the airport of Warsaw, Poland. Damian sent me a track with this melody, which I instantly loved. I was not too keen on the beats and build up, so we met on Skype and agreed on making new beats and a renewed drop and presto, Elevation was born. If you could give one production tip insight to new producers out there, what would that be? Just make the kin

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Didimek, accompanied by Samuel Suleiman, presents his debut single “Hayal” on the Black Hole imprint. New names that deliver instant hits are not widespread, but the few that manage to do so make a superb first impression on record. The still more or less elusive Didimek drops the smooth trance banger “Hayal” and allows his arrangement to drive the track from beginning to end; paving the way for some incredible work on the violin. The end result is state of the art electronic dance music with an unmistakable middle eastern sound to it. The remixes, produced by Sezer Uysal, Samuel Suleiman himself and the well known Aerofeel5 all take their own approach to the original version and hand every DJ an absolute hit single for their upcoming Balearic and Me

[wp_ad_camp_2] Medium Troy Surprise @ HempFest!! So walking along with everyone else at the 4:20 rush on Saturday, August 18 2012 at Seattle HempFest – I quickly found myself complaining at the lack of “bass in my face” at Hempfest. Finally I rounded the corner to the dance tent and found to my pleasant surprise non-other than “Medium Troy”(Eugene, OR) doing a live set. I ran in dancing and raging like everyone else. I watched their entire set which I would estimate was an hr to maybe two – I did walk out of the tent a few times ;) .. [wp_ad_camp_1] However the bass wobbles and old school vinyl being spun in the “dance tent” kept calling me back inside. First introduced to “Medium Troy” through a remix done by a previously reviewed artist; Golden Toast (http://soundcloud.com/
