D.O.D. is The Music Man of Jump Up Electro! An Interview

d.o.d. 1_raannt

We caught the D.O.D.’s set at TomorrowWorld day 1 and this cat blew us out of the water! The vibe, the beats, the drops, the energy… absolutely Incredible! We had the pleasure to catch up with the killer DJ and ask him a few questions raannt style! Check him out:

d.o.d. 3_raannt

Introduce yourself in 5 words or less.

I am the music man.

How would you define your sound?

Jump-Up Electro.

What is something about you we wouldn’t know by looking at you?

I’m a stamp collector…Not really! Errrm, I have an obsession with drinking tea. English breakfast is my fave!

If you could work with any 3 DJ/Musician, dead or alive, who would they be and why?

Liam Howlett from the prodigy for being such a dance music pioneer in the 90’s.

DJ Q-Bert for breaking boundaries as a DJ and showing the world stuff on the turntables that no one could have ever though of.

Lauryn Hill the way she sang in the 90’s. I bet she’d do a killer vocal!

d.o.d. 2_raannt

How do you define sexy?

Natural beauty! Not about the fake eyelashes and the makeup that looks like it has been caked on by Steve Aoki. Sexy isn’t someone who flaunts it in my opinion. Obviously a little bit of cheekiness doesn’t go a miss though!

What do you think is the sexiest city? Hotel? Club? Festival? Music Track?

City: Manchester, UK.
Hotel: Mondrian South Beach Hotel – Miami, USA
Club: Amnesia – Ibiza, Spain
Festival: Tomorrowland – Boom, Belgium
Track: Chris Lake – Oh Shhh (Original Mix)

What’s next for D.O.D?

Music, music and more music! I’ve been working my ass off this month. Testing the water with some fresh sounding music. Trying to stay one step ahead of the game. Still doing what I’m doing not but trying to push boundaries and make some more ‘intelligent’ sounding dance music. I’ve also got some big collabs coming up with the likes of Laidback Luke, Borgore, DJ Bl3nd, Sandro Silva + more! Going to be a very busy year of releases!

What are your three simple luxuries?

My three simple luxuries are my computer, my speakers and tea. I LOVE TEA.

Tiësto’s “Light Years Away [Featuring DBX] “Remixes” – Killing it!

tiesto light years away official remixes 2014_raannt

OH MY GOD! Yes, we are huge fans of Tiesto, but come on… who isn’t?! And don’t give us any of the B.S. about him being too commercial or whatever. The fact is that his brought electronic music to what is today and thanks to his unreal creativity we have other forms of electronic music. So, with that said… ‘Light Years Away’ brings that essence of original 90s electro beats perfectly mixed with the electro technology and culture of today’s EDM scene. The vocals are elevating while the high energy track keeps the focus on the “feel” of the original track = feeling like you’re ‘Light years Away’. Check out the Remixes of Tiesto’s collaboration with DBX:
