Exclusive Beatbouncers Interview + Remix

Beatbouncers are climbing their way upon the producing ladder. I can imagine them paying many bills for all the roofs they will be blowin’ up with their tracks. That’s why they were kind enough to give our readers their latest remix for free as a promotion for their upcoming EP which is remixed by Gtronic, Serial Chillers and The Deficient.
In their spare time they were kind enough to answer a few questions for us:

INTERVIEW WITH BEATBOUNCERS

Your track “Bubblegum” got a lot of attention; did you expect things would go like this?
We never thought things would go that quick; but we can surely say that we’re not unhappy about it ! The EP also got good comments because of the Lee Mortimer remix we think

How do you think your newest EP will do?
Well, You never know what the reactions will be, but we hope to do better than our Bubblegum EP, until now we heard mostly good comments on both our new track and the remixes featured on the EP

What kind of producing material do you use? Are you planning on getting new soft-/hardware?
Currently we’re using Ableton with some additionals VSTs, no further hardware, but we’re planning to get some hardware, such as a kaosspad etc.

What are your expectations for the future?
We hope to get massively famous, play everywhere around the world, meet loads of hot chicks while earning billions and drinking way too much alcohol. No, serious, we’ll see where we get, we’re just lucky we’re able to meet a lot of crazy nice people and having loads of fun while playing & partying

What was your first gig you played at and how did you manage to reserve it?
Our first gig was actually already quite cool, it was in Antwerp, in a club called the Cinema. We had to open, just before Sound of Stereo, The Proxy and Geht’s Noch ft. Lextravaganza. We managed to get there because a friend of Nicolas organised the party, and Nicolas helped him.

When playing at a gig do you have a premade setlist, mix on the spot or something between?
Well, we never do anything before playing a gig, mostly we trade some new tracks before the gig, but that’s it, we just improvise on the spot, taking into account what makes the crowd goes wild, as most DJs do.

Do you guys request anything when you play at a gig?
Not really, just a Pioneer-installation, and we love to drink vodka-redbull and beer.

Which artist/release is getting too little attention and should deserve more?
Actually there are too many artists who receive less attention than they deserve, and otherwise too, some artists get way more attention than they deserve.
Gtronic is getting really hot these days, finally ! His tracks are massive, and he really deserves more attention than he has got until now, and there are many more artists like Project Cyborg, The OddWord, etc who play awesome Dj-sets and have great tracks !
Belgium is on fire, and it’s only the beginning

Promote your upcoming EP. Why should people buy it?
Because it’s a cool, because it’s bouncy, because it’s ravey, because it’s Fidget, because it’s pounding, because Serial chillers made a remix, because Gtronic made a remix, because the Deficient made a remix, because it’s on a Belgian label called MSMD, because we’re Beatbouncers, and because we need cash to fund our drinking problems.

Interview with Sound of Stereo!

Most wanted dj’s this summer are most definitely Sound of Stereo. While they are hitting some of the biggest festivals in Belgium (Pukkelpop, Dour, 10 days off, Laundry Day, etc …) their succes doesn’t seem to end. While going from one gig to another they still managed to answer some small questions for us!

Where do you guys know each other from?
We met online thru myspace, discovered we live near to eachother and had some of the same friends.

Why did you choose the name “Sound Of Stereo”?
Jochen already was in a band, together with another guy, I don’t know where the name came, we just kept it because we couldn’t find something better at that time… what’s in a name you know?

Who/What made you wanting to start producing music?
Jochen is the bigger producer of us both, he already had a musical history by playing in bands. Later he got into electronic music and started producing some stuff. We have our studio at his home, He does most of the production work, we finish stuff together.

What was your very first set-up?
Dj or production? I had a lot of djstuff before sound of stereo even started. Actually I started out Deejaying with some old stuff from my dad. Productionwise jochen just started off with a Laptop and a good headphone, now the studio is expanding and growing bigger …

What was your worst dj experience?
Mixer broke down, together with tons of other PA troubles…

We see you have a great summer tour coming up. You’ll be playing at DOUR, 10 DAYS OFF, PUKKELPOP and many more. But do you guys have some sort of dream venue?
I love techno (be), and Coachella (us) for festivals, Womb (tokyo) as a Club

And where do you guys get the energy to play a few days in a row and sometimes even twice a day? Are there energy drinks involved?
Jochen drinks some redbull, I just sleep a lot

Can you give our readers a sneak peek towards any future projects?
A release on a cool label, starting with DUB ending with SIDED, a new release on LEKTROLUV in October and Touring outside Belgium

I’d like to end this interview with a rather uncommon question.
If you had 5 minutes air time on television broadcasting all over the world
What would you do?
Give the time away to people in this world who can make a difference.

A CLASSIC ONE: Buy Now – Body Crash

GetHypedOnThis needs new posters!

Long time no see. Well you know, … busy busy and stuff. Anyway, I decided too look for new posters to get some action in the blog again. I used to post along with KenKinobi but that didn’t last very long. So if you think you can make some time now and then and you would like to be posting on this blog don’t hesitate to mail me or add to your MSN, but before that, first a few criteria I’m looking for:

-your english is as good as mine (can’t be too hard!?)
-you follow the scene and like the most music posted on this blog
-you respect artist by not posting complete albums/EP and delete songs when they ask you!
-you don’t copy complete texts and don’t spam tracks (which means you have to type a few words about the tracks, not just place a list and say “Here you have some tracks” THE END, you’ll catch my point)
-you have a google account!

So, you think you can find yourself in these few points, here is my contact adress aswell as my msn adress: bob.de.kinder@telenet.be
I’m looking up to 3 new posters!!!!

Time for action again!

It’s time to get my lazy ass out of the chair! … euhm … I mean back in the chair, behind the desk and start blogging again. I successfully made the transition from 2008 and 2009 while playing my 2nd gig. I’m hoping 2009 to be a year with some nice releases from known and new artists, a lot of good electro partys and so on…(and secretly a lot of gigs for myself). And ow yeah … better late than never … HAPPY NEWYEAR!
