Music Tastes: (eg. Trance, House, Techno etc.)
I Love trance in virtually all its forms, but like pumping house, Ambient
and quite alot of other music too such as Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre,
Enigma and some classical music.
Favourite DJ's, Night Clubs, or even artists?:
This has to be Paul Oakenfold, Sasha, Paul Van Dyk and Judge Jules,
Ferry Corsten is pretty cool as well)
Besides yourself, if you were going to sit down and listen to another eJayers playlist of mixes, who would it be? and why? List up to three.
This is a tough question really, I have to admit that many ejayers have
impressed me, 3 of the many being Oxygen, DJ Groove and Dan Lilley.
There is of course the other reviewers on this site, m8y and JD, but the
first 3 do stand out for me at this moment in time.
If you could offer new ejayers any advice right now...what would it be?
Really Listen to you mix...turn up the volume to high if you can.
Listen to all the subtle tones that your mix is creating. Its these
sounds that surprisingly enough, alot of people hear most, so ensure that
you make the most of even the quietest of sounds. If you are going to
use samples, use good samples... nobody wants a mix full of bad samples, and
nobody likes huge download sizes, so keep your sample usage down for imports
if you can.
If you could describe your particular style of music writing, what would it be?
Trance and Progressive Trance mainly although I have dabbled in a few other
genres.
List your favourite 3 eJay websites that you visit the most? Any of your choice.
Ejay Clubber UK (I have to list it as I check it every day to update
it.)
PlanetEjay (I visit like the rest of you)
eJay Chart (Its a nice touch inviting visitor reviews)
If you had the option of doing a collaboration with any other eJayer right now...who would it be and why? Perhaps we can arrange this for you to be so.
Well, I have done some fun collaborations with Oxygen and Peppy so far and
have also worked with Paul Macey to produce one too (unreleased as
yet...Paul?), and would definitely do another with both of them.
However, if I was to name one ejayer who I would do a collaboration mix with
right now it would be a dead tie between DJ Groove and JD Messiah.
Have you ventured onto MP3 yet, and if so...are you getting the recognition your deserve from the world? List your site here too.
Only very recently yes. Its at http://www.mp3.com/clubberuk
as far as recognition goes though, not as yet...its too early, however who
knows?!
If you have an MP3 website, what are your best mixes on there? We will link to these as part of the eJay Masters profile to show people what your capable of.
I only have the first tune uploaded so far, it is of course Eye of Horus.
Finally, would you say you have had good recognition in the eJay world so far, do you think that you really haven't achieved your very best yet?
I think definitely is the answer to that. At first I never used to be
bothered about recognition, but nowadays I think recognition is an
achievement in its own right, and having read the great reviews for my
tunes, and seen what people have to say about the site I put together (this
one!), I really do feel that I am getting the acknowledge I think I deserve
for all the hard work. Which I totally appreciate.
