Moguai Interview

Tags: album, i am x, interview, itunes, moguai, Podcast

Hello Moguai. Where are you and what are you currently up to?
I am sitting in rainy Recklinghausen and producing my album!

You recently joined forces with Paula Ferraro to make the track ‘The M Effect’ which has been picked up by McDonalds and used in a new advert. Can you tell us how this all came about?
My partner knew the chief of the pr agency, who produced the campaign. They needed the sound for it, and asked me to do it. Paula Ferraro did the vocals and I did the production. That’s the entire story. Not as interesting as you thought? :-)

Many of your singles have a slightly different flavour from the last but still retain that unique Moguai stamp. What’s the secret to your success of making original…

Guy J Interview

Tags: bedrock, digweed, esperanza, guy j, interview, israel, sasha

What was your overall approach to constructing the Album?
My overall approach was to deliver a project that gives the listener a clue about my sound and my thoughts and my point of view about music… the album says a lot about who I am and what my sound is… it’s meant to pleasure the ears ?

Bedrock holds a legendary status in house music. How does it feel having your artistic debut released on such a Label?
It’s a huge honour since Bedrock has always been a massive inspiration for me as a producer and to actually be part of the huge list of artists that release their music on Bedrock – it’s a real big deal to me.

How would you describe the sound of the album?
The sound of my…

Dirty South Interview

Tags: dirty south, interview

What was your overall approach to constructing a Toolroom mix?
The tracks for this compilation were selected on the basis of tracks I was into and what I was playing at the time of selection. It also features some Toolroom releases and of course some of my productions. I keyed all the tracks and mixed both discs with Ableton Live.

Do you feel that you’ve achieved what you set out to with the mix?
I am really happy with this mix. I would say it is my favourite compilation to date. I think I achieved exactly what I intended with it.

How would you describe the sound of mix?
The sound of the mix varies throughout both discs. Disc 1 is little deeper, weirder and sexier, where the second disc is more big room sounding.

How…

Danny Howells Interview

What was your overall approach to constructing a Renaissance mix?
With this mix, I had no clue as to what direction to take musically. It was a case of literally going through all of my music and pulling out all my favourite tunes, regardless of genre, from the last two or three years mainly. I don’t really worry too much about being super-upfront on a CD, because it’s something that will hopefully stay in people’s collections for a while, so I think timelessness is more important that being upfront. Once I’d collated all of my favourites I realised that a lot of them were in the melodic, deep house vein so that kind of gave me the direction in which to go.

Renaissance has a rich reputation in the mix CD…

There is simply no other house & techno live act quite like Saytek. A man who has gained a reputation for tearing up Europe’s most legendary dance floors with his impressive improvised shows.

Interview with Sarah Main & GoldFish

Hello guys, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. You have your new album out at the end of the month, tell us about it?
Sarah: I just mixed disc 2 of Pure Pacha alongside Goldfish who did disc 1. I think this year’s album reflects the new feeling of Pure Pacha. Goldfish mirrors the sound they are famous for at their Pure Pacha gigs and mine reflects a set that is similar to what you what hear on your average Pure Pacha night. It’s a party night, as you can see by the awesome line up, and this is the vibe that is captured in the album.
Gold Fish - Dom: We’re super stoked to be a part of the 6th Pure Pacha release. It’s Pacha’s flagship disc and…
