    Music that will help you feel Youngr

    by

    MANCHESTER electronic music producer Youngr went viral with his one-take videos of dance-floor-friendly bootlegs.The multi-instrumentalists’ take on The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition hit more than 15 million views in less than two weeks.[embedded content]After releasing music on huge record labels, Youngr decided to take the power back and now operates under his own Blue Llama imprint, on which he has just released his new album Let The Music Guide Us.CLICK OR TAP ARTWORK TO STREAM YOUNGR – LET THE MUSIC GUIDE US ON SPOTIFYThe first single from the album, Tried So Hard takes a Linkin Park classic on an immersive house trip.[embedded content]As he tours the UK, we caught up with him and he’s compiled a playlist of music that inspires him.Simply Red – FairgroundThis track basically inspires every song I write. Simply Red are one of my biggest inspirations of all time. I remember it was around 1996, I was in the car with my mum driving to the shops and Fairground came on and I was like “what’s this!” At that time the only way I could get my hands on the record was going to the local library, luckily I found it on cassette, ran home, recorded it onto another cassette and played that track on repeat.[embedded content]RÜFÜS DU SOL – On my kneesThis production on this song is just outrageous. RÜFÜS DU SOL are masters at evoking deep emotion through their sound. I already had a lot of admiration for this track, but seeing RÜFÜS DU SOL live and experiencing this track live, cemented ‘On My Knees’ as one of the sickest dance tracks of all time for me.[embedded content]Calvin Harris – Flashback Most read in MusicI don’t know if the old school Calvin Harris sound gets the full credit it deserves, but that era where performed his own vocals and with a full band was truly epic. The whole Ready for the Weekend album is incredible, but Flashback will always be a stand out track for. It was the first track that I remixed, and it essentially spurred me on to create the idea of Youngr![embedded content]Delirium – SilenceWhat a tune! The definition of a classic and an absolute masterclass in the power of a strong vocal hook. That 90s trance still goes off even two decades later.[embedded content]Faithless – Become OneAnother group who has had a big influence on my sound is Faithless. Maxi Jazz’s vocals on Become One are pure perfection, that synth is just godly and the whole composition is amazing. It’s an all-time favourite of mine for sure.[embedded content]Chemical Brothers – GoodbyeI’m not alone in saying the Chemical Brothers are a constant source of inspiration for fellow musicians and humans everywhere! What a track Goodbye is, I mean that synth line is just insane. What a band and what a catalogue of music.[embedded content]Booka Shade – In White Rooms I first heard this tune whilst I was out in a club in Berlin, I must have been around 18 years old at the time and it melted my brain. It’s a simple track but the arrangement is design to get completely lost in and I’ve certainly tried to channel that hypnotic feeling into some of my own productions over the years.[embedded content]Deadmau5, Kaskade – I RememberI’ve always loved this tune. The warmth of the production is like a big friendly hug, and paired with the ethereal delivery of the vocals, it’s a superb combo and a real summer anthem.[embedded content]The Streets – Weak Become Heroes I’m not kidding when I say this whole album changed my childhood. It opened my ears to different styles of production and showed me there are no limits on creativity. That line in the 2nd verse “as the piano loops over, arms wave, eyes roll back and jaws fall open, I see in soft focus…” it’s just one of those lines that I’ll remember forever.READ MORE SUN STORIESStardust – Music Sounds BetterThis tune is just an absolute feel-good belter. The groove, the bass, the electro twang, just the whole feel of the song speaks to my soul. It’s always a feeling I try to achieve with my own music, and I hope people feel that.[embedded content] More

      Dilby gets together a selection of amazing electronic dance music

      by

      DILBY is an artist that continues to set fire to my inbox.We caught up with the prolific producer at the end of last year for a great chat and he recorded an amazing mix for The Night Bazaar Sessions. Read the interview and listen to Dilby’s mix HERE.CLICK OR TAP IMAGE TO READ OUR INTERVIEW WITH DILBY AND LISTEN TO HIS EXCLUSIVE MIX FOR THE NIGHT BAZAAR SESSIONSAs Dilby continues his mission releasing music that delights and excites dance floors across the world, with his latest release Get Together currently doing the business, we caught up with him again. This time he compiled and talked us through a playlist of dance music favourites, including his current track Get Together.Dilby – Get Together [Déepalma]My latest outing on Déepalma from southern Germany is a grooving house jam that has been doing the business in my sets for sometime now. Perfect timing to welcome in the warmer weather and party season.[embedded content]Echomen – Substance [Forensic Records]This is an absolute classic in my opinion and a record that still inspires me now. I would consider Echomen a direct precursor to my sound and a constant point of reference for my work in the studio. Echomen were also part of influential groups including Lexicon Avenue, Mooncat, and Happy Clappers. I may or may not have an official remix of this track in the works…[embedded content]Bario Bros – Hold On To Your Love (Warehouse Mix) [Shaboom]If you could imagine a musical representation of the phrase “good vibes” it would sound like this. Bario Bros was an alias of Joeski and Onionz, two absolute legends from the US house scene. Hold On To Your Love brings back great memories of a wasted youth spent roaming around club dancefloors. [embedded content]Dilby – The Station feat. DNCN [8bit Records]Most read in MusicThe Station is a track from my recent EP on Gorge and Nick Curly’s label 8bit. DNCN is a super talented vocalist and has worked with the likes of Maceo Plex and Riva Starr to name a few. The track has been a standout in my sets since we wrote it at the start of summer 2023. I’m very proud of this one![embedded content]DJ Deep – What’s Going On [COD3 QR]This is such an understated bomb. It’s got the right combination of good vibes and a hypnotic groove. The bunchy sub bass, fantastic drums and deep synth chords just roll along perfectly.[embedded content]Silicone Soul – Chic-O-Laa (H-Foundation Remix) [Soma Records]H-Foundation (aka Hipp-E & Halo Varga) reworked Silicone Soul’s disco-sampling house  record into a twisted, driving, tribal workout which destroyed many a dancefloor around 2000 when it was released. In all honesty this track is here to represent the sound I first fell in love with and could just as easily be a track from Peace Division, John Creamer & Stephane K, Oscar G & Ralph Falcon, Joeski, Chris Lum or countless others. It feels and sounds like home![embedded content]Tom Evans, Bruno Blanc, Monochrome – Play It Twice (Dilby Remix) [Valiant]It was an absolute pleasure to remix this record. The original has such a cool, classic style to it and I enjoyed every second of working on the project. It’s made quite a splash, which is always nice to see. It’s been sitting on the Deep House Top 10 on Beatport and reached number 5 in the ARIA Club Charts (Australia’s version of Billboard). [embedded content]Jerome Sydenham & Dennis Ferrer – Sandcastles (Pete Heller Re-Edit) [Ibadan Records]Pete Heller is undoubtedly best known for his timeless hit Big Love. But he is also one of the most prolific and influential producers of the last 25 years and did everything from filtered disco to tribal to deep house and back again. I just love the depth and musicality of this record and I consider it a timeless classic.[embedded content]Jamie Stevens & Anthony Pappa – Here We Go [Selador]This track just ticks all the boxes for me. It has a feel very akin to the music that got me into DJing and writing house records but is expertly crafted to sound bang up to date. As a producer I can often listen to a song and have a pretty good understanding of how it’s been constructed but this track has so many layers and details which have all been meticulously tweaked to perfection. It’s an absolute masterclass!READ MORE SUN STORIESCrazy P – Give It Up ( Laid Mix ) [Paper Recordings]I just love this funky, loopy, trippy, space-disco vibe of this record. Crazy P are such a cool live act and the original is actually a very cool soulful house song. Laid who did the remix is actually an alias of Stockholm’s Zoo Brazil, one of my favourite artists to this day. I still play this as a closing track in my sets from time to time.[embedded content] More

      by

      Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox have united for their first collaboration concentrate, released as part of Perfecto 30 – a huge celebration of the labels’s 30th anniversary.Paul says; “I’m going back to doing straight club records – underground tracks that I love. Perfecto is now a 30- year old brand. There are generations that have grown up with the sound. They got into dance music and have grown up with the label. It’s turned into much more than a label.”Carl Cox and Paul Oakenfold – AI style!A seamless blend of Paul and Carl’s unique styles, Concentrate is a testament to their collective prowess showcasing a fusion of cutting-edge sounds and infectious rhythms, an exhilarating slice of techno from two giants of dance music doing what they do best. And what better way to mark 30 years of Paul’s iconic label.Paul tells us; “Teaming up with Carl for ‘Concentrate’ was a natural evolution for us. It’s our way of paying homage to our history and to show where we’re at right now musically.  Carl is a pioneering legend that was signed to the label so it marks a nice full circle moment. This is the first collaboration of many to come.”Carl Cox adds, “Working with Paul on this track was an absolute blast. ‘Concentrate’ represents the perfect synergy between our styles, and we can’t wait for our everyone to hear it.”[embedded content]Concentrate comes out as part of this year’s Perfecto 30 – a year of special releases, remixes, collaborations and live events to celebrate a huge milestone of one of dance music’s most iconic labels. There’s a documentary coming, Welcome to Perfecto (which features commentary from the legendary likes of Fatboy Slim, Carl Cox, Todd Terry and David Guetta and more) and Paul himself will make a series of special DJ appearances crisscrossing America and the UK to Ibiza and Australia –involving the parties, festivals, and superclubs like Cream where he made his name.

We’ve flown the flag for British dance music around the world and pioneered some of Britain’s biggest dance acts. The milestone is a big personal achievement for me, and I think a lot of artists on the label and dance music in general, we are no longer seen as a small industry. Dance music is global now and massive. Paul Oakenfold was the focus of The Night Bazaar in Something For The Weekend on Friday 26th April 2024You’ve been recognized by Pete Tong and even the British Empire for your contributions to dance music. Can you share a moment or decision in your career that you believe was pivotal in earning you the Pioneer of the Nation accolade?It’s an absolute honour to be recognized by the British Empire as a Pioneer of the Nation by spreading dance music around the world. I’ve been making, releasing, and signing dance music for over 40 years now. Proud to be British.I’d say some pivotal moments would be becoming a DJ opening for one of the biggest bands in the world, playing stadiums for two years, championing British music. And then playing at the special Olympic Games in Abu Dhabi to over a billion people worldwide. Paul Oakenfold – A true British electronic dance music pioneer and legendWith Perfecto 30 marking a return to your roots, what inspired you to focus on underground club records again, and how do you feel the current dance music landscape has evolved to embrace these sounds?It certainly made me want to head back to my roots and make some great underground dance music I can share with a lot of people. We are starting off with my collabs with Franky Wah and Carl Cox.The current landscape in dance music is incredibly healthy. It’s a worldwide industry that gets richer ever year. Your last album, Shine On showcased an impressive array of collaborations. How do you choose your collaborators, and is there an artist or producer you’re particularly excited to be working with for the Perfecto 30 series?I really enjoy collaborating with young new artists and established artists from different genres. I choose my collaborations based on talent and being a fan. There’s so many great young musicians out there. Barry Can’t Swim, Anyma, John Summit, Rebuke, Teddy Swims, Anne-Marie, Anunnakis, Velvet Cash, AP Dhillon, and LUM1NA. [embedded content]You’ve performed at some of the world’s most unique venues, from Stonehenge to the Great Wall of China. Can you hint at any upcoming performances that might continue this tradition of groundbreaking shows?After I DJ’d at Basecamp Mt. Everest, and then I went to DJ in Area 51 in Nevada, I’m being offered a lot of unique and wonderful locations, which I’m certainly looking at.Looking back at the journey of Perfecto and your career, how do you want to be remembered in the dance music world, and what future ambitions do you have for both yourself and the label?Perfecto will be doing festivals and signing new talent from around the world. It’s a very exciting time for the label. It’s been a wonderful achievement for Perfecto and the artists on the label. We have a documentary coming out toward the end of the year, where we interviewed lots of colleagues. And we are signing a lot of new young artists, helping them today and making them stars tomorrow. Paul Oakenfold and Carl Cox at Stonehenge in 2018 – Picture: Carl Cox official Facebook pageIn an unprecedented collaboration, you and Carl Cox have joined forces to create Concentrate marking the first time you two legends have produced a track together. Can you share the creative process behind this collaboration and what it was like to blend your distinct styles into a single track?

      Clara Da Costa welcomes us inside the house Jack inspired her to build

      by

      THERE are few DJs that have an Ibiza pedigree as impressive or as multi-faceted as that of Clara Da Costa.Clara was Ibiza’s first female DJ back in the 1990s, already playing gigs on the island by the age of 17 and even more remarkably achieving the position of Creative Director at superclub Es Paradis at the same young age. Clara was the principle catalyst in encouraging promoters like Clockwork Orange and Up Yer Ronson to do nights at Es Paradis. These pioneers were responsible for kicking off the British invasion upon which Ibiza clubs have come to depend.Clara Da CostaThe young Clara’s drive and creativity had far more influence than even she could have imagined at the time and the last three decades have seen her shine around the world as a DJ, promoter, producer, radio show host and record label owner. CLICK OR TAP IMAGE TO STREAM MUSIC FROM JACK’S HOUSE RECORDINGS ON SOUNDCLOUDHer Jack’s House radio show on Ibiza Sonica and Jack’s House Recordings label both continue to be essential sources of amazing, underground house music.We caught up with Clara for a chat about Jack’s House, plus she has recorded an exclusive Jack’s House mix for The Night Bazaar Sessions which you can listen to below as you read our interview with her.CLICK OR TAP IMAGE TO LISTEN TO CLARA DA COSTA’S EXCLUSIVE MIX FOR THE NIGHT BAZAAR SESSIONS ON MIXCLOUDCan you share the story behind the inception of Jack’s House and what inspired its unique name?In the beginning (excuse the pun) I decided that I wanted to start my own radio show. I had previously done bits and bobs in the past for radio with the likes of Kiss FM in London, presenting The Sunday roast for Mixmag here in Ibiza in the early 90’s and of course the wonderful days of pirate radio. I have always had a huge love for radio, so 15 years ago, I started Jack’s House radio show which was (back then) on Ibiza Global Radio. I then moved to Ibiza Sonica, for many years, then back to Global, and have most recently at the end of 2023, moved to Pure Ibiza Radio which also partners up now with Pure Ibiza Radio UAE (Dubai). I’m very grateful for all the great homes and platforms that the show has had along the way. I really wanted to do a radio show that represented independent record labels, vinyl releases (digital too), talented producers and fully support the underground community. Identifying all the tracks to the listeners is key in making sure it is done properly, so that is what I continue to do. Most read in MusicThe name basically was inspired by the 1987 release of Rhythm Control (My House) on Chicago’s Catch A Beat Records for those famous lyrics performed by Chuck Roberts. I always loved these lyrics which were also famously used on a later version of Mr Fingers (Can You Feel It). If you have never read the lyrics, it’s worth taking a look, it’s like a prayer for the true lovers of dance music.       How does Jack’s House represent ‘Underground House Music with Integrity’ and what does this phrase mean to you? In a nut shell, it is all about seeking out music, artists, labels and events that stay true to their sound by not selling out I guess. It is about quality and letting the music do all the talking. Also, regarding the vinyl releases, the press is limited so the label really is mainly for people that want to have records in their bag that they not everyone has. I might release one on digital but I like to respect the vinyl buyers out there and maintain a level of exclusivity. Also, I do not over release as I don’t like to overlap promoting each project so to give them all time to breathe. As I said, I am a one woman band in running my label so put 100% focus into the process of every release from demo stage, charts, promos, social media, previews, radio plays etc, to final release when the vinyl lands in the stores. Thank you for quoting the tag line for the label, music with integrity. Integrity is really important to me. Clara Da CostaWhat qualities do you look for in artists when signing them to Jack’s House?Primarily I am looking for individual and authentic talent whether that talent is established or not. I seek out creative and well produced tracks, good communication and people with drive, passion and patience. I sometimes like to hear something a bit daring and out of the box too where I can hear that the producer is being true to themselves and experimenting which can often make up for interesting and varied EP’s. Good manners go a long way too 🙂 Since it’s establishment in 2016, how has Jack’s House evolved in the music industry? Well the label started in 2016, but the brand really started 15 years ago, so over time, Jack’s House has evolved from a radio show, to the events, then the label was launched and some publishing of artists too. It has been steady in growth I would say, sticking to my guns building a loyal fanbase of true music lovers.How do you balance your roles as a DJ, label head, and radio show host? With the gigs, I guess I practice what I preach. I only take gigs that I really want to do now, and would rather survive on less than stress myself out with gigs that I don’t feel fully invested in or comfortable with, I don’t want to be complaining when ultimately, the choice would have been mine in the first place. For example, requests to play on a line up with just an hours slot or back2back with someone you have never played with before as it never makes for a truly good performance. After over 30 years on the decks, it has 100% become quality over quantity and keeping it healthy. As far as the label is concerned, I put a lot of time into that and usually find myself going through demos into the early hours of the morning. I take quite a long time to select the tracks. I will often receive a batch of demos to which I then select 4 tracks to makeup the EP making sure that they are all distinctive and never sounding all the same. I can close my eyes and imagine where and what time a particular track will go off. My imagination takes me to all sorts of places on the dance floor. Then Jack’s House radio show is a weekly process of listening to, and downloading promos. Let me start by saying I LOVE doing the radio. Jack’s House Radio show celebrated 15 years on air December just gone! Sometimes I can’t believe I have kept it going all this time, but I have no plans to stop it. I started off at Ibiza Global Radio and then spent almost a decade with Ibiza Sonica radio before returning back to Global but most recently joined Pure Ibiza Radio and Pure Ibiza Radio Dubai, I love it as I am also returning to do more live broadcasts with the team which I love. All the radio stations are great platforms transmitting globally 24 hours and day, 7 days a week. Over the years I have had so many amazing guests come in to join me too, everyone from DJ Sneak, Mr. C, Stacey Pullen, John Dimas, Alex Arnout, Tuccillo, Enzo Siragusa plus many many more. I take a lot of pride in the show as I have built it to reflect, build and support the underground community. I get sent hundreds of promos a week that take a lot of time to go through but it is worth it to find the needles in the haystack. The production world has become so saturated now, that if you really want to keep up to date, you have to put in the work to find those gems especially when it comes to radio. I also get sent a lot of tracks directly from the labels which often are and keep championing the Underground community, forthcoming on vinyl only releases. I do support digital production too of course, I am just a true vinyl lover. I am completely multi-tasking and mixing live every week. I fully present and ID every track that I play throughout the show with the name of the track, artist, label, release date and format, so I always have to make sure my meta data is on point. There is nothing worse than hearing a track and not knowing the title when you love it, and you are unlikely to get a result using something like Shazam with this kind of music. I also make sure I throw a few jingles/soundbites over exclusives too. It’s truly another labour of love to be perfectly honest. I am aware how much I try to put back into the scene via the show and the label, and if you do anything like this, you have to learn to expect not much back, you have to do it for the right reasons. You have to do it for the music and the scene. But personally, it is really important to me to support all these artists and independent record labels.Clara Da Costa was the focus of The Night Bazaar in Something For The Weekend in The Sun on Friday 12th AprilHow does your radio show complement and promote the ethos of Jack’s House?Pretty much some of what I have mentioned in the way of really getting behind and supporting the independent labels and artists in the scene and getting their music promoted and heard by the listeners of which many are also vinyl buyers. The show goes out live and then I upload it to my Soundcloud the following week so people can catch up, or go back to get that track ID. Some people don’t like sharing track ID´s but I personally think that it’s pointless to do that. The music industry has become somewhat a free commodity over the years, the least we can do for each other is support, encourage and show up for each other. That’s what a true community does. What I personally do with all of this (despite 100% commitment and hard work) is a true labour of love. [embedded content]Could you highlight a few releases from Jack’s House that you feel particularly proud of? Ah you know what, I am proud of all of them, they all pretty much have an interesting story behind them of how they came about and how relationships with artists have been formed. The first release especially has a special place in my heart. The Confirmation Bias EP by Alex Arnout, is timeless and beautiful, he is an incredibly talented producer and a pure example of what music with integrity is all about. Also the first EP I put together from a bunch of demos from the talented Legit Trip called Answer. It was a great feeling to get his music on his first ever vinyl release and then finally meet him in person when I invited him over to Ibiza to play and do a live show on the radio with me. He is so young still but just incredibly versatile and knows what he is doing.Another release is the Terrace EP by JHNS from Prague, this was a digital release but it really should have been put out on vinyl, it’s so good. Many true friendships have been formed over the years. There is almost always a story behind each signing or a great memory made. I remember going to France to meet the duo Two Diggers, instantly we were vibing and having the best time. I sat with them in their studio and they played me a clip a track that they were working on, within seconds, I said, I have to sign this. They went on to send me a file of more tunes and from that, the Head Trip EP was born, it’s timeless and brilliant.[embedded content]It has also been amazing to get reconnected with old friends from my school days. Terry Francis and I went to the same school, (although I think he was leaving as I was starting). All the local crew knew Terry as he would put on wicked parties and play the best music. All us underage kids used to try and get into these little local underground events, dark room, uv light and the start of tech house. Years later Terry and I met up again when he visited the island and now he features on two of the Jack’s Tracks VA series. We also both worked at the legendary SWAG records in Croydon. R.I.P Liz Edwards. In your view, how has the underground house music scene changed since you started Jack’s House?It’s quite interesting actually how certain areas of the scene have changed. The underground scene is really for people who don’t mind being the under dogs in the scene I guess. It comes back to a community that refuse to sell out and feel strongly about sticking to their roots. There is a lot of pressure for DJs and producers out there that really want to make it big, and on the underground scene, that percentage is way more inferior for those that stay true to their sound, otherwise that would be an exit from the sound of the underground. There are a number of artists/producers who’s music I was supporting some years back that I no longer do, simply because they have compromised/changed their production, sound and style perhaps to move up the career ladder signing to more  corporate and commercial labels, and I’m therefor no longer feeling it. It is not necessarily bad production, it’s just not what I am in to when I hear those intelligent underground elements disappear with trends taking their place. We are not too cool for school which we can often be accused of, it is just a completely different way of going out and partying, the human traffic that amass in clubs is of a different behaviour and taste for clubbers that enjoy a more underground experience. All we really care about is a great sound system, subtle lighting and great tunes on the deck. There is not really a desire or need for extensive decor, dancers, or any other type of entertainment, just pure beats and a bouncing dance floor. It is very far removed from the mainstream in that way. What is truly great though, is seeing and hearing a whole new generation of young artists coming through who are doing amazing things out there. For example, 3MINDS who have most recently and mostly taken over the legendary Wiggle brand put together by original tech house legends Terry Francis, Nathan Coles (RIP) & Eddie Richards having guided them (check them out). They are currently planning a programme of events throughout 2024 to celebrate 30 years of Wiggle. I would not say that the true underground has changed that much, it is the other genres in the scene that have had the biggest shift I guess, making mainstream clubbing often quite unrecognisable from what it maybe once was. It is a scene/genre that has to fight with passion to stay alive which can be challenging for sure. [embedded content]Are there any upcoming projects or collaborations within Jack’s House that you’re excited about? I am really excited for the next EP which is due out at the end of March, another vinyl only release with a limited press of just 200 copies. It is the burn EP by one of my favourites, and good friend Alex Arnout. Also want give a shout of appreciation to Rob Small for all the great mastering (he is excellent) and Kevin Cutts for all the artwork who have both been with me since the beginning. I’m hoping to start discussions to put a few label showcases together again too. One Night Stand, a brand that I have played for since it’s birth are coming back after a 5 year hiatus and will be taking over Wednesday nights at Eden, they will also be hosting label showcases. They are exactly the brand that is right for Jack’s House to team up with. They have the same vision and will be putting on parties that solely concentrate on the music and the underground community. The last parties they hosted at DC10 were so good to be part of and are firmly in the memory box. The line-up’s are the real deal. We really needed this to come back to the island, so I’m really excited about this one. It will be nice to get back to doing some showcases, it has been a while. I was doing a steady stream of events before, but a lot of the venues here in Ibiza that I was staging them at have disappeared, like The Zoo Project at the brilliant Benimussa Park, and Space (obviously) amongst others. I won’t do an event for the sake of it, everything has to be right for it to be worth it and go well. Fortunately, every showcase that the label has done so far has been a beautiful success. The venue has to be right, from the sound system, how it looks, the capacity and the overall vibe. I want the guests to always be happy and to enjoy the experience. If DJs are happy behind the decks, that 100% transpires to the dance floor. I like to see a wave of heads bobbing up and down, lost into the groove and just letting go. What advice would you give to emerging artists aspiring to join labels like Jack’s House?Firstly please listen to the labels releases, it definitely varies in the artists and productions that are on there. Work out if you think that this would be the right imprint to showcase your music. Then put together your demos with a friendly short e mail presenting yourself and the project. Even if you have never released anything before, it doesn’t mean you won’t get signed. If the production and the tracks are good, that is all that it takes. Try to be original and have elements of production that will identify you as a producer building your own signature sound and most definitely don’t copy or force yourself into trends. Originality goes a long way.Make sure that you send a private link to the demos (Soundcloud is ideal). There is nothing worse than receiving demos that have had several, if not hundreds of plays, with the download enabled! Be patient for an answer, but if after a few weeks to a month you have not heard anything back, don’t hesitate to follow up with a second e mail/message asking if the label has had time to consider your demo submission. I will often hear great potential in someone but am not particularly feeling the tracks for release. If this is the case, I do ask people to keep sending in their demos in the future. Be open to possible constructive changes in production, names, arrangement etc I am quite active in this way while still respecting the artists integrity.CLICK OR TAP IMAGE TO READ OUR LAST INTERVIEW WITH CLARA DA COSTA THE LAST TIME WE CAUGHT UP FOR A CHAT IN 2017 ON THE NIGHT BAZAARLast time we spoke, you shared your excitement about your label, Jack’s House, and its early successes. How has your vision for the label evolved since then, and are there any new directions or initiatives you’re exploring?The direction of the label has grown organically but largely concentrating on the vinyl releases. I’ve stuck to my guns in making sure each release has time to be promoted and time to breathe in the market. Jack’s House does not have a constant stream of releases. I like to make sure that each artist gets promoted well and their production gets the respect it deserves, so giving each release some time to grow and be heard before the next release is really important to me. It’s definitely a quality over quantity situation. I guess over time, it’s just been a case of the expanding talent that has released on the label from long time well known established artists like Tuccillo, Rich NxT, Terry Francis, Lex and of course Alex Arnout to mention a few, to more recent artists that are now more than established in their own right like Carlo Gambino, Legit Trip, Julenn and JHNS to mention a few more.Jack’s Talent management is still in the pipeline but like everything else, it needs to be fully ready to launch with everything in place. I don’t want to launch this until I can at least guarantee the minimum service to artists, otherwise you would be just giving out false hopes for gigs and opportunities to the them. Actions speak louder than words. There is no point trying to look good online with projects if you can’t back them up with the actions needed, this is where the integrity comes in again. I have been wanting to get the merchandise launched properly too, I love designing and have had a healthy interest from fans of the label and radio show. I am in the process of talks to collaborate with a cool brand, so hopefully that will come to fruition later this year. I want to do it properly. READ MORE SUN STORIESI am definitely looking into doing some more creative ideas with some future vinyl releases and finally getting the merchandise going. There have been some big bumps along the way over the last few years as our industry knows very well, so I have been taking my time but stayed on track with all the releases. More

      Paul van Dyk goes on the record with The Night Bazaar

      by

      PAUL VAN DYK has been a pioneer of trance for over 30 years. His legacy includes one of the most iconic trance tracks of all time, For An Angel, among a myriad of other timeless classics.Today Paul is as relevant as ever. In 2024 he will release his eleventh studio album, celebrate 25 years of his label, VANDIT Records, and  return to Ibiza with a three-month residency, SHINE, at Eden.

But then the whole development and where the set goes is down to the interaction with the audience, so it’s an experience for all of us, together. Can you share some insights into your eleventh studio album and how it reflects your journey in the electronic music scene?My next album reflects my idea of how I think electronic music will sound in the next few years. I’m always having ideas, I put them down and I create music that I would like to hear and I hope when it’s reaching audiences that others enjoy it too, but I would never make anything that I don’t like.VANDIT Records is celebrating its 25th anniversary. How do you feel the label has influenced the trance and electronic music genres over the years?The philosophy behind VANDIT Records is that we just release music we really enjoy listening to ourselves, and therefore there’s a very clear indicator of the quality of the music that we are releasing. I think its influence is down to somebody else making an evaluation of the importance of the label, but I do believe we’ve released some influential records over the last years.Most read in MusicCLICK OR TAP THE IMAGE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND FOR TICKETSReturning to Ibiza for the SHINE IBIZA residency at Eden, what can fans expect from this summer’s performances?SHINE Ibiza is a very special concert because it puts you – the audience – into the middle of everything. You are the most important element of this event and of course, the music. This is what it’s all about and we all together create an amazing music experience during your holidays.How has your recent tour in Australia and Asia influenced your approach to the upcoming UK set and album?I don’t think that my shows in Australia or Asia have any influence on the shows that I’m going to play in the UK, because I’m influenced by what I see, then and there; I look at the audience in front of me and that’s what influences the way the set goes.With such a significant presence in the music industry, how do you keep your sound fresh and engaging for new and longtime fans alike?I don’t know, I think it’s probably because I’m not trying to be anyway significant or important. I’m just making my music and I’m making that to the fullest and I think that’s authentic, and that’s why people can actually relate to it.The UK trance scene has its unique vibe. How do you tailor your sets to resonate with the UK audience, especially for a venue like XOYO?Everything in the UK is always a notch up. It’s very banging and very exciting, so I’m really looking forward to doing exactly that!PAUL VAN DYKCan you give us a sneak peek into the themes or collaborations we might expect from your new studio album?The people I collaborate with are the people that I feel inspired by and that I feel can add something to the music that I make – that’s what you gonna find on the album.With the evolving landscape of electronic music, how do you see VANDIT Records shaping the future of the genre?VANDIT Records never actually looked at the shaping of the musical landscape. As I mentioned before, we just release the music that we enjoy, and since we are big fans of electronic music in all its facets, I believe that’s where the label’s gonna continue to go.READ MORE SUN STORIESYour SHINE IBIZA residency is a highlight for many fans. How do you plan to elevate this year’s experience compared to previous seasons?Every year of SHINE is different, there’s always something new to it and we always add new talents as well. But one thing for sure that stays the same is you, the audience, you are the main attraction of it all, and of course it’s all bound together by the music. More
