Hammarica.com Daily DJ Interview: Kristina Childs

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Techno, as one of the backbones of dance music, has always been more of an underground style in the total landscape of EDM genres. What attracts you in the genre and what drives you to continue to push the bar? Do I push the bar? Haha... I guess I never saw myself that way. Well let me start by saying there are a lot of types of techno I really don’t like, but what draws me to techno specifically is it’s energy. I’ve always tended toward the darker sides of music regardless of genre. For rock it was mostly punk, for 60s-70s it’s mostly classic & southern rock, for 80s it’s new wave, for hip hop: it’s rap/top40, for drum & bass it’s jungle/tech-step, breakbeat it’s new school breaks, and for techno, I want it to be TECHNO! Don’t get me wrong, I like tech-house

In your case however - like Carl Craig mentioned at Decibel - you take the whole pro audio department of Guitar Center with you on the road. Can you describe the fun and kick you get from performing live

Juan Atkins – An Exclusive Interview With The Originator Of Techno

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[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...

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

Exclusive Interview With Jochen Miller

EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] Hi Jochen, first off: thanks for joining Hammarica.com with this interview! Jochen, you have been DJing for quite a while and enjoying success with massive productions like ‘Lost Connection’, ‘Humanoid’, the Energy2011 anthem ‘Classified’ and recently the Rank-1 and Sarah Bettens collab Wild and Perfect Day. If you had to pick one of your productions as your most favorite one. Which one would that be? And is there a thought behind it for it to be your favorite? Tough question, same as asking a parent which of his children he loves most;-)) But if I had to pick only one, I guess that would be Lost Connection, because that track really rocketeered my carreer. You are known to blend styles together ranging from trance to electro and progressive. How do you like the f
