In daily life, we're touring a lot, getting to meet some amazing humans all over the planet and spending all remaining time in the studio. What’s the story behind the label, how did you get together to start the project? Jaron: I would love to pass on the mic to Duncan and Britta to tell that story. Because I always wanted to have a label at some point but not really thought of really having one, until I got asked by Duncan & Brit

Squire is a very talented artist hailing from Barcelona, Spain who we’ve taken notice of over at PA due to his recent releases on highly thought of labels like Smoke N’ Mirrors, Bar 25 Music, and Flying Circus Recordings. We sat down with him recently to discuss what first started his love for electronic music, his Barcelona roots, and his plans for 2018... Hey Squire, great to meet you! We're big fans of your work at PA :) Thank you very much! nice to meet you too How has 2018 been treating you so far?

Hi Jonathan, thanks for joining us today, tell us a bit about yourself, where are you living and how long have you been producing music and DJing? Hey, thank you! I’m based in Cologne, Germany, DJing since ten years and producing music since roughly four years. Having followed your music for several years one would note your productions are stylistically diverse and shift narratives with great regularity. It’s a key factor in making them not only a compelling listen but also great for the dance floor. Where do your influences lie? I think the diversity in my music belongs to my way of producing, as most of the time I start with a sample, which then sometimes leads to the direction of the whole track. But in general, I see a certain handwriting in each track I did release so fare, even if there is a wider range. That keeps it exciting for me and that’s exactly the way I like. How much of an influence is music outside the electronic world? A big one! Since I’m also usin

Electronic music is your passion, it is also your profession and the bond that you two share, when and how did you discover this music style that has become such an important part in your lives?Chus: Music has been part of my live since i was very young because from an early age i would listen to my father's record collection. He was into the classic Disco Sound so i've growd up listening to bands like 'Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Chaka Khan, Donna Summer, Barry White or The Jacksons' to name but a few. I Have fond memories of this music, when i had 14 years old i would take my father's tape recordings on cassette and edit them by cut and pasting, then i started to scratch his vinyl records! So you could say they were my first DJ experience and the beginning of all of this. A few years later, in the early 90’s, i had the chance to travel to Portugal as a resident DJ of a very popular Club in Algarve, Kadoc, and there was where my love for House Music began. I was�

Hi Kevin, thanks for joining us today, tell us a bit about yourself, how old are you, where are you living and how long have you been producing music and DJing? Hey astronaut Thanks for having me this month. My name is Kevin Huizing and I make music as Budakid. At the moment I’m living in Berlin, but I was living in the Netherlands until last year. I started producing twelve years ago, at the age of fourteen and gradually I started getting more into DJ’ing as well. How did you discover electronic music and what led you down the path of wanting to be a DJ and producer? Where do your early influences lie? I started at a drum fanfare back in the day. I played there for almost 7 years, I think, and then later I discovered a way to produce music all by myself. At the age of fourteen I already went clubbing (which sounds a lot cooler than it was… haha) and that inspired me a lot to try and make electronic music myself. I still know the guy who was playing tech-house/minimal tra

Hello Guy, thanks for joining us today, you are just back from stops in Toronto and Montreal, an eight hour set at Coda and a mammoth 20 hour back to back set with Hernan Cattaneo at Stereo. Tell us about those, how were they and how do you prepare for a 20 hour set? physically, mentally and musically? For me the preparation for that weekend was producing music that I can play at different point of the set and just digging for good music! Both gigs were amazing thnx to the great crowd of Canada, Playing with Hernan is always fun, he is a master of a dj and a good friend so it goes very smooth. For the 20 hours set we had the best sound system for it which is in Stereo, you just want to keep playing there, its unreal how good it is. The club was always busy and the people gives you the energy to keep on playing, we both absolutely loved it. Although you're primarily thought of as a progressive house artist, your music sits in a space that transcends the genre. A wide assortment

Hi Nela, thanks for joining us today, tell us a bit about yourself, where are you living and how long have you been producing music and DJing? How did you discover electronic music and what led you down the path of wanting to be a DJ and producer? Where do your early influences lie? My first experience of DJ’s and the art of DJ’ing was a rather uncomfortable moment due to another DJ with prehistoric, chauvinistic views. However I was fascinated by the whole process and skill of mixing and, putting that moment to back of my mind, I set out to dedicate my time to learning and crafting my own skills behind the decks. I began playing out and after a while the ‘word’ spread quickly and in the last two years I’ve now played every major venue in my home city of Tel Aviv. The production chapter is a more recent and, I would say, natural development. Sometimes I enjoy it more than DJing. Its really mind blowing what you can do in the studio, the infinite options of sound. You c

Hello Marcelo! Great to have you on the interview today! Where did your love of music come from and how old were you when you first realised you wanted to work in the music industry? I started to get involved with electronic music because of my cousins, they were djing at a club in Buenos Aires and they taught me how to mix. I got really passionate about it and by when I was 18 I new I wanted to make a living out of music. Do you have musical influences outside of dance music and what are they? Yes, for sure. I love music. I’m always in the mood for some Radiohead, Sigur Ros or Depeche Mode, and I’ve also been listening to a lot of Stavroz and Raz lately. What’s a normal day like for you? Do you have a job outside of electronic music? I’m lucky enough to work of what I love doing, and that’s music. A normal day depends on which day of the week we’re talking about. They’re not always the same either, depend on the projects I’m working on and how many gigs I hav

Hello Guys, thanks for joining us! your much anticipated sixth studio album 'Through The Walls'  is getting closer, it's got that amazing blend of electronic pop / funk that you're so loved for but there are also moments of deep, meditative bliss with tracks like 'Purple', 'Belong' and 'Surfing On A Stone' which we absolutely love. How do you end up with the final selection and how do you go about cutting stuff out? There must be honeymoon period with almost everything you write? TOMAS HØFFDING: in the moment of creation there is always a state of megalomania…there has to be, otherwise you cannot do it… I mean, you are up against the goods of songwriting and producing every time you make a new track. if you put things too much in to perspective at this moment, you lose all your mojo. later, after you have written and produced the track, you step down from the pedestal, and you look at what you created. And then you go really hard on yourselves, the honeymoon is definitel

Hi Burak, thanks for joining us today, how are you and where in the world are you today? Hello, first off all, thanks for having me :) I am close to Barcelona, in the country side. You discovered music through your father who was part of a folk band I believe, tell us how that shaped your own musical journey. Well I think the best answer to that is my music itself. Especially those unreleased tracks with influences from all over the world. To be an entertainer is something I learned from my father and I am very thankful and happy for that. I love to make people dance and smile. Your bio stats a 'dancefloor epiphany' led you to discover DJ Culture and techno, was that one singular moment in  a club? If so please tell us about it. OH yes. Mr Karotte was playing an unbelievable kind of native Indian set at u 60210 in Frankfurt. That was the night when I decided to do what I am actually  doing :) About 10 years ago you got signed to Nick Curly's Cecille imprint, would yo
