Ever just want to put a face to the name, or to the sound?
Sometimes whilst I'm slamming, I become curious as to how a person can understand so well how to compile layers of sound, to generate the
affect it has.
Some producers, they want to produce perhaps for radio play.
Perhaps a sound they think is trendy or popular or will appeal to chicks?
But some producers, it's like they can see beyond that, to generate a cumulative affect, specific or conducive to a certain environment - that just boosts it, or
works there.
See, for me personally - when I'm slamming in a dance or nightclub, if the music can do this, it fills me with a positive energy that's simply attractive.
Example - one night, think it was the end of "race week" or something, I was in this sour freakin' mood.
Was going out with my regulars and me and one dude had this ****in' bitchy row and we were all basically sour.
It's about 12:30 and I'm thinking, "f
uck it, I'd be happier just hitting it".
But this DJ just kept playing track after track and knew EXACTLY what buttons to press and next thing before I know it I'm hitting on basically every chick passing me.
The energy and flow of the music playing was so positive and uplifting, it was
that, that was basically responsible for me getting laid that night.
......
That's what I'm saying - good energy is infectious, and a producer that knows how to -
produce that - not some crap they think is trendy or popular or appealing to the "in crowd" per se which typically results as being generic garbage, but an actual understanding of what WORKS.
And what works in a nightclub environment I mean, electronic music is kind of a niche genre in itself, and within that genre, there's so much total crap also - therefore I'm simply curious when it comes to understanding the type of mind/character that knows how produce something functional in that realm.
.....
Bit of an essay right there.
Point being, interviews with your favorite producers?
A young Chris Schweizer.
Produces track after track that blows me away, and recently started releasing with a UK producer under the alias "Pathfinders", some really, IMO, cutting edge type sound that is absolutely specific to the dance/nightclub environment.
