Softive - Kids Are Playing EP [MMR020]

Today we have already had some big recommendations and it's not yet over for the day. The very respectful brazilian Softive is today out with a new 3 track EP called "Kids Are Playing EP".

The release is out on the sucessful label of Minus Mal's Records, based in Sao Paolo, Brazil. Yet again they hit us with some fine, melodic progressive music that will make you want to make your "weekend moves" on a Monday, the ones you already do at the club week in and week out.

Go ahead, follow the links below and grab yourself a copy of this brilliant release.

Enjoy!

Dj Rap - Give It All Away [Inc. Sultan & Ned Shepard Remix] [MOSUSS23DIG]

DJ Rap is back with Synthesis, a rock-tronic hybrid album is the follow up to her globally successful Learning Curve. A darker edgier side of DJ Rap, she not only played guitar and piano on the majority of the album, but sung all the vocals as well. So if you are looking for pretty 4 on the floor Disco this is not the release. Take a bit of angst ridden Alanis Morrisette, the melodic dreaminess of Imogean Heap and a hint of BT and welcome to Synthesis.

The albums first single "Give It All Away" with remixes from Sultan & Ned Shepard, Starkillers, Thomas Sagstad and Metasyn.

Enjoy !

Beltek - Running Backwards [AVA4330]

We still all remember the excellent "Kenta" and Beltek already brings a fantastic new track, entitled "Running Backwards". This is one of those incredibly sonic cuts with a melody that immediately grabs you by the throat. A definite clubby but at the same time minimal atmosphere completely lifts the theme of the song up to the extent where you simply have to continue listening while dancing. Focus on that deceivingly simple bassline, perfectly matching every note of the strings; it will keep you on the dancefloor.

The full and crisp sound of "Running Backwards" doesn't hammer on, but adds a fat and spellbinding drive to your live gig. Call it a track that perfectly matches the ISOS sound and you know what we mean. Expect this one in the live sets of the big names; "Running Backwards" is a sure shot ready to make it big!

Exclusive interview with Darin Epsilon !

Today we at Pure People are really happy to be able to show all our visitors an exclusive interview with one of the biggest stars around, Darin Epsilon!

Here are a few questions were Darin puts out his thoughts, only for you people, read and enjoy!



What is your inspiration when you produce? When you are creating music, is it that you hear a sound that someone already made and think, hmm this is something I could do in a different way, or is it just that you’re sitting in the car listening to the radio and getting a feeling for something? How does it work for you?

Inspiration can come from many places, it can also strike when you least suspect it. For me, some of my best song ideas have come from just doing normal everyday things. It can be as ordinary as taking a shower or walking to the post office.


Generally, I am most inspired when listening to other people's music. Whenever I hear something well-written, my mind begins to race and my imagination will just take over. Before long, I'll have some ideas written down that I can then use in my own productions. I have an extremely comical system for jotting down my song ideas, you'll have to see my scribbles sometime.

We know you DJ a lot. What part do you think is the best, the DJ part or the producing part?

Well, it's hard to compare the two, really. I find DJing very satisfying because you can see the crowd reaction and feed off their energy at the same moment. Generally, if they're happy, then I'm happy. It's a very different dynamic when compared to the studio, where you will often be working alone or with one other person. In this case, the only person to impress is yourself.


What I can say is that some of my favorite moments ever have been related to working in the studio. I get very excited when something really cool happens by accident. Sometimes it can take hours to come up with an idea that actually fits the track, but the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into each project is what makes producing so satisfying for me.

We also know you’re based in Los Angeles. What is the scene like over there? Is the progressive scene small? What can you tell us about it?

The dance music scene in Los Angeles is quite phenomenal! Top international DJs are playing every week, sometimes every other day. There's a lot of interest in the music from the younger generation here as well. That being said, progressive music in relation to the rest of the scene is quite small. Like most other big cities, there is a clear divide between Epic Trance and Minimal House/Techno. Representing a small scene motivates me to work even harder because I often feel that the people here don't realize what they're missing.


When you produce, what equipment (software/hardware) do you use?


I have some bits of hardware here and there but I'm primarily software. I've played around with almost all the DAWs and now I'm using a combination of Logic with Ableton Live and Reason rewired in. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. I haven't yet found a magic program that is great at everything.

Logic comes with its own unique set of killer sounds, but I also heavily rely on VSTs such as Rob Papen Predator, reFX Nexus, NI Massive, among many others. I'm also a big fan of Spectrasonics but I haven't yet bought a copy of Omnisphere. You could say that it's on my Christmas wish-list this season ;)

Many things have been said about the illegal spreading of music. What do you think about it? Do bloggers help the scene in a promotional way (newcomers getting seen) or is it killing the progressive scene (people can’t make a living of it)? What are your thoughts in this subject?

It's a double-edged sword. On one hand, labels and musicians are losing hundreds, maybe even thousands, of dollars in revenue from illegal file-sharing. On the other hand, it's getting their music out there to a wider range of people than ever before. A lot can be said about either side, but from a producer's standpoint, I would really prefer if people bought the artist's tracks if they appreciated his or her work. I notice a lot of quality producers picking up part-time jobs these days because they cannot fully support themselves doing music. This leads to less quality music coming out or some producers completely dropping out, which ultimately hurts the scene.


Darin, what can we expect from you in the coming months, a lot of new releases and a lot of gigs across the world?


I've got a handful of releases coming at the end of December which I'm excited about. I personally feel it's my best work to date. We're expecting a vinyl release for the remix I just completed for Baroque. I've also confirmed a remix of Dresden & Johnston (Dave Dresden of Gabriel & Dresden fame) for release in 2010. As for gigs, I'll be making my debut at LA's top club, Vanguard, and touring Mexico the week before Christmas. January and February are generally slow, so I'll probably be focusing on playing within the US. Then before you know it, I'll be in Miami for WMC.

I know you are going to Europe for gigs (in Bulgaria) in the nearest future. What’s the feeling about it? Excited? Is it your first time over there for gigs?


I'm extremely excited to be playing in Bulgaria for the first time. My radio show Perspectives gets a lot of airplay over there. We've actually been planning the tour for several months, so it's great to finally see everything coming together. I hope to play more in eastern Europe in the future. People say really great things about the parties here.

We @ Pure People thank you for taking your time to make this interview, it’s much appreciated. We from PP wish you all the best in the future!

Paul Keeley - Cloud 9 / Everytime We Do / Plastic Heroin [ANJDEE060D]

Paul Keeley has had a corking year with a creative hot streak that has seen him putting his name to some of Anjunadeep's most essential records. His latest three-track EP is the second of its kind to come off the Anjunadeep press and its eclectic mix of styles and influences ensure that it will go down as another hit.
With its long, flowing, sun touched melody, opener 'Cloud 9' is guaranteed to transport you to such a place and is the perfect soundtrack for reminiscing over the summer months gone by.

Following in its wake is 'Everytime We Do', a classy synth houser with a silky groove and full of luscious melodies that bubble gently to the surface, ideal for slipping into the more sophisticated set. 'Plastic Heroin' signs things off and gets all moody on us with its squelchy bass, spacey atmospheres and Goa and acid influences, proof if any was needed that the man from Montreal is set to go into 2010 on a high note!

15 Progressive Eruptions - Volume 9 !

It’s the Saturday that once again has hit us and what is better than some really great progressive to listen to before it’s time to go clubbin’. Another Volume (number 9) of 15 Progressive Eruptions is available for download to all of you. Some great smashing progressive house is there for you that includes both released music and promotional stuff.

Included today is a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Opening track is the new track from Luke Porter (included in latest Mango Alley Sampler). After that we go on with a promo, a coming release from a guy with the name Gadel Khaertdinov, some brilliant progressive music (will be released on Bomba Records) and one of my absolute favourites in the latest months, maybe in the last year. Freaking awesome!!

Out as number 3 in this PP Mix is another promo for you. This time JS Project and Daniel Rems shows their skills in a truly massive progressive release, just turn your volume up, close your eyes and then imagine that you are meeting her eyes. Killer tune if you enjoy the progressive sound! We move some more minutes into the mixtape and land on tune number 4, here we find a release from San Diego based Zachary Zamarripa, called Tempting Faith. I already posted about this release on PP and I also had to play it here. Truly great stuff that just been played on and on from me. Huuuge!

As the fifth tune we are proud to play a coming release from Sweet & Sour that soon will be released on a label called Limeroads, yet again top notch progressive music that you get a glimpse off here @ Pure People. Next up as number 6 is a great tune, included on the same release as the opening track of Luke Porter, Mango Alley Sampler. This time we have brought Vadim Zhukov and his tune named Summer Rain. You people that have enjoyed the progressive music scene, knows that Vadim is a man that always drops quality music and there is no doubt this time either.

A new label is out there on the scene called Spirit Soul Music. Their first release was the great one from Solila called Light Step. Here our friend from Argentina B.O.N.G, the man behind Spirit Soul Music (together with Phunktastike) shows a coming release from that label with Lea D called Rising Moon. Great sound again from Lea D & Mr. B.O.N.G.!!

As number 8 in the set, we want to show you a released track from Chimera State called Crimson Rain. It was released 3 days ago on Shah-Music Digital. This is something that we really want to support so here it is. Massive stuff yet again from a massive label. Next up, as number 9, is a huge tune that also is out for sale. Huge stuff from Mac & Monday with a stunning remix from the well-known Arpi, big tune that is growing in my ears and will be played a lot from me in the future.

A few minutes before the hour market number 10 out of 15 is brought to you. This is a tune that have been out for a few months but here is a new and still unreleased remix that will be out soon on Frisky Records. We’re talking about Cid Inc and his great piece of progressive called Tundra White. This time it got in the hands of Nemanja Kostic and we all know with he can do. He’s a very productive guy that’s a rising star on the scene. This is no exception, top class act from Nemanja! When we go over the hour market, it is time to welcome an act from Da Groove Doctors that is a released tune. This one is out on the label of Soltrenz Records. Really driving & energetic tune that we like a lot on PP. Further into the mix, another unreleased tune has landed in our mailbox and of course, if we think this could be something for the progressive scene to watch out for, we show it! This is another banger from a very, very good producer from Hong Kong called AxisONE. What can I say, this is really good stuff that edges in to the head and there it stays. Great chords!

As third from the end we show you a track that we know something about but that is still so far ahead in the planning that it’s not named yet. The sound we think you can recognize and it’s once again the huge progressive elements that are waiting for a sales date. Hopefully it will show up because it’s great and heavy stuff. As number 14 we show up a class act from Germany with the guys called Bale & Voltaire and their share for this 9th volume of tunes. This one called Schnittstelle and is also out on the Mango Alley Sampler that went for sale a couple of days ago. Just go and grab your copy of this great track. Last but not least we round everything up with a total banger from Solarity with their latest out on Beatport, called Laika and on the remix we have Arty that shows his skills.

We at PP hope you have enjoyed about 1 and a half our of some of the freshest tunes around and that this could be used as a warm up for the night!

Laika originally started out as a remix for Enhanced but it was so good we just had to give it an original release.
Having been a staple for the majority of 2009 in the warm up's of Will Holland at Digital Society this has become something of and early doors anthem for "the coolest trance night in the UK" (Mixmag).
Now backed with a bumper remix pack, this is sure to set dance floors alight this autumn with its huge synth-lead breakdown and pounding progressive undercrackers!
Miss it at your peril!

My absolute pick here is Ad Brown remix ... Now whata a massive track is that! Be sure to grab your copy now!

Exclusive Interview with Dezza !

Today we have for you an interview with one of the best producers in Canada.....DEZZA !! We are proud that we are cooperating with him already for a long time and that only we can give you an exclusive interview !

Hi Derek ! How’s goin’ bro?



I'm good, lots of great stuff happening recently for me including the opportunity to be interviewed by Pure People!!!



For start can u tell us few words about how u have entered music world? Is it something from the childhood? When and how did you start to produce music?



Well, growing up as a child in the 80's my Mom and Dad were always playing music. It’s funny you ask, I just recently stumbled across some old videos of me at 3 years old dancing like a professional to the Thompson Twins!

I started to produce music when I was about 14 years old. I was mainly into hip hop production at that point. My friends and I would always get together and play around with the beats I had made and make attempts to record tracks!

After many years of hip hop, it became a bit boring for me, and there was no exposure in it. Also my hip hop was mostly sample based so I wasn't advancing production wise in any way. Just using a sample and throwing drums over it. It seemed like everyone from my city was making and producing hip hop, I didn't enjoy the people or the way the music was heading so this is when electronic music took me over. I love everything about it, the people, the positive energy, the exposure, the complex production, everything! Ill never look back - but with that said I’ll never be able to forget how I started, nor would I want to.




Are u always have been into progressive house or your or it is result of your musical education & evolution?



As mentioned in the previous question, I started out with hip hop, but electronic music always intrigued me. I think when I was 15 or 16 and all I knew was that I wanted to be a skratch dj. Mom got me a George Acosta mixed cd for Christmas, things like ATB on it and stuff. She didn't know the difference between hip hop and dance - just that it was a dj mixed cd, it was good enuf for me :)



How would u describe the sound that u produce? In which genre would u place your sound?



My sound is mainly progressive, though I love tech house and techno, I always try to add elements here and there.



What do u use in the studio? Software, hardware? And in what percentage?



I'm all software based. FL Studio 9. Heavily used Vst’s include Hypersonic 2, Sylenth, z3ta, Rob Papen predator, fl wasp. I use a few vengeance sample kits, the Deadmau5 Xfer sample cd is cool too. I also use some of my own one shot samples I have collected through all of my years of hip hop production. I have an m-audio midi controller that I use from time to time. Also, KRK Rokit 8 G2 monitors that I'm extremely happy with, though my neighbors may beg to differ! ;)



Can u describe us your process of making one track. Is it first an idea in head and u then go to the studio, or its all at once and about experiments with sounds?



It all depends really, I might hear a track on the old 80's station and say "hmm that pattern is neat" or "I could try to do something like that". And then on the other hand I could sit at the desk and just come up with a chord progression, or even start a track from a simple arpeggio.



Where do u find all the inspiration for your atmospheric melodies?



That's a hard question, I'm not musically trained by any means, so I just mix and match notes until I get chords that have a really strong emotion, its indescribable really.

Working with vocals is really nice, it’s much more of a challenge to build chord progressions around vocals I find, but the outcome is always great.



Derek u are a producer. What do u think about illegal music sharing (via blogs, forums etc.). Is it killing the producers? Can it somehow help them?



Well, I'm not going to hold back in saying that in the time that I've been producing and releasing tracks, I haven't made a penny. But on the other hand, without blogs and sharing, I'm not sure my music would have spread so fast. I've never made any big money from producing - and I've been doing it for 11 years. I do it because it's a passion of mine, and won't stop because someone on the other side of the world is downloading my music for free. I have a day job to pay the bills ;). I enjoy my day job and I'm quite content.

Some producers may disagree with me, but we shouldn't do this for the money - only for the love of the music and support from followers. Nothing makes me any happier than seeing a video on youtube of 10,000 people dancing to a tune that I produced played by Tiesto! Or getting a myspace message from someone saying they love my music.



Are u Djing sometimes beside producing?



I have always been a dj. I love dj'ing. The problem I'm having at the moment is that I'm living in a small city that's full of dj's. I love where I live but my main goal in this game (like most producers) is to be able to dj all over the world. So I'm going to keep producing and hopefully the gigs will come to me :)



Your 5 favorite tracks at the moment?

A top 5 list of tunes is hard for me to list. There are a few artists and labels though that in my opinion that have and will always drop great tunes. Silk Royal with their latest PROFF ep is great. Nellie Recordings always dropping new fresh stuff, they run a great label. Mango, Solarity, Schodt, Shipstad & Warren. Chris Reece's progressive dub of 'time after time' with tiff lacey is dope! It's hard to remember all of the artists that I follow regularly but those are some.



Thank u for your time bro! We from PP wish u all the best! Cheers!


Thanks for this great interview, and the opportunity to share my thoughts on this blog that I check daily! ;)
