[UKF] In Conversation With Ray Keith

With a remarkable 30-year career, Ray Keith is rightly celebrated as the godfather of jungle and drum & bass, earning legendary status within the scene. Known for an extensive list of pseudonyms, including Dark Soldier, Renegade, and London’s Most Wanted, he is the mastermind behind Dread Recordings and has played a vital role in shaping the genre during its transition from the acid house and hardcore explosion of the late ’80s and early ’90s.
Starting out as a rare groove, soul, and funk DJ in the mid-’80s, Ray Keith has become a staple name in the jungle and drum and bass scene, honouring the roots of Black British music. After remixing Orbital’s “Chime” in 1990, he produced the rave anthem “Terrorist,” released under his pseudonym Renegade on the iconic Moving Shadow label in 1994. This track has since become one of the most recognisable and influential jungle tunes of all time.
To celebrate 30 years of pioneering jungle and drum and bass, Ray Keith is hosting a Ray Keith Live show at Jazz Cafe in LDN on May 24.  Fans can look forward to timeless tracks from his catalogue—both past and present—infused with influences from rare groove, acid house, reggae, and soul. This event is not just a tribute to his remarkable legacy, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience to witness these iconic tunes through a live musical performance—a night that can’t be missed!
Tickets Here 
We are joined by Ray Keith to share exclusive insights into The Renegade Live as he reflects on his decades-long career, delving into his musical upbringing and the evolution of his sound. Together, we’ll explore the significance of authenticity and integrity in an ever-changing music industry as he continues to rebel against its exploitation and commercialism.
Let’s start by saying that you’ve had an incredible 30-year career as a pioneer of the jungle scene. How do you feel that the scene has evolved since you first started?
I’m humbled to have such a loyal fan base and hope my tunes will still be playing in 30 years. However, having grown up surrounded by music, I now feel much of it is throwaway or expendable—what I call “karaoke jungle.” I worry about the future of the music. There’s a side to it that I don’t really like—the loss of soul, which I see as the destruction of the art form. Sometimes, it feels like just noise, and it pains me to witness the art of DJing diminishing. It’s heartbreaking, especially as someone who has helped shape this sound over the decades.
It shouldn’t matter your colour, gender, or race; being a great DJ is about skill and passion. Our scene is different from the commercial scene, we’ve dedicated our lives to this, often overcoming addiction and challenging backgrounds, and they need us because we bring the heritage. I’m a purist and firmly underground—I’m no sellout. When you come to my live shows, that’s what you’ll experience.
What about your musical upbringing? 
Any producer will tell you that your heritage shapes your sound—Motown, The Jacksons, Diana Ross, and The Sensations are foundational influences of mine. I was a soul, rare groove, and jazz DJ, and I delved into hip-hop and house long before jungle came along. DJing has always been a huge part of my life; I’ve been on the decks since I was 12 and became a professional DJ at 18. It’s been an incredible journey, and I’ve dedicated my whole life to black music.
The other night in Manchester, I played a mashup of Bee Gee’s “Stayin’ Alive” because that’s what I was brought up on—those are the tunes we grew up with. At the end of the day, we’re DJs, and we aim to transfer our skills across different genres, whether it’s hip-hop or jazz; it’s all deeply rooted in us, like there are different ingredients that contribute to our sound.
Speaking of that, jungle and sound system culture is deeply intertwined with UK multiculturalism and the legacy of the Windrush generation. 
How do you see this culture evolving today, and how can we preserve its roots and history?
Every DJ has a responsibility to honour the roots of the music they play. I pay homage to the original hip-hop and house scenes, as well as artists like Bobby Byrd, Lyn Collins, Luther Vandross, and Dexter Wansel. It’s crucial to understand where the music comes from; you can’t move forward without knowing your history.
If you’re diving into genres like jungle or drum & bass, dig deep into the records and appreciate their true spirit. It’s disheartening to see a lot of what’s played today not reflecting the original sounds. Radio One, in particular, should represent the true diversity of these genres instead of whitewashing them for commercial gain.
I understand there’s a commercial aspect to music, but if something is labelled as jungle or drum & bass, it should truly reflect those genres and stay true to their roots. I’m grateful to perform for audiences who appreciate the integrity of the sound and the culture. While maintaining that integrity might not always pay the bills, it’s what keeps the music alive. It’s about bringing people together—old and new, multicultural—and creating positive energy.
You’ve used several aliases throughout your career—London’s Most Wanted, Renegade, Terrorist, and Dark Soldier. What is the story behind adopting these different names, do they reflect different aspects of your musical journey? 
Absolutely, they do. Growing up, I was definitely a bit of a rebel. I’ve always resisted conformity and dislike being told what to do, especially coming from a background of oppression. That’s shaped my journey, allowing me to carve out a life on my own terms. It can be tough, and yes, it might seem a bit selfish to want to make a living from it, but it’s not easy.
I wanted to explore different sounds without too many tracks coming out under the name Ray Keith. Putting music out under London’s Most Wanted or Dark Soldier felt like a natural progression and opened up more opportunities for me. At my core, I’m a soul man through and through.
If you listen to “Rare Groove” by Ray Keith, you might not expect it to sound like me, but personally, I consider it one of my best tracks because it’s infused with so much soul. It combines influences from George Benson, soul, rare groove, and jazz while still maintaining that energetic kick. There’s always this balance of light and dark in my music. I’ve managed to reflect both sides in a meaningful way because that’s what black music represents—life-changing experiences that resonate with so many people.
Could you take us back to the early days with Dread Recordings, City Sounds, and Blackmarket Records? How significant were record shops in pushing the jungle scene forward?
Record shops were our lifeline—they were our MySpace, our Facebook, but in a physical space. I worked at City Sounds for five years before moving to Blackmarket Records in 1990. We were all in it together, cutting plates and sharing music. We grew up as young men and women in our twenties, and let’s be real: what the fuck do you know in your 20s. But we had each other’s backs; we loved and looked after one another. We travelled the world together and we broke records together. 
Fabio and Grooverider started Rage on Thursdays, and that was a space where we could express ourselves and our music. DJs like Randall and Bay B Kane were part of that scene. It was never about colour or gender; we were all pals—girls and boys together. DJ Rap, Dazee, Kemistry (RIP), Storm and many other amazing DJs that we would share dubplates with, drawing tunes or recording tracks together.
What about the raves back in the day? 
When jungle first started, people were driving all over the country, playing to empty venues, but it was slowly building into a culture, a movement. Growing up in the 90s, it was a working-class scene, and girls weren’t getting hassled in the dances; it was all about love, raving, and looking out for each other. But then the drugs began to creep into the culture. Just look at drum & bass today with the rise of ketamine—it’s become awful.
We need a cultural change and some form of support. Awareness is crucial because these drugs are harmful. We must raise these issues: What will happen to the kids using these substances in the next 20 years? Many are already dying from overdoses, especially with fentanyl being mixed in. These conversations are vital. I can’t save the world, but if I can help open up the discussion and use my platform to highlight these concerns, I feel it’s my responsibility to bring this to light. It’s really important. 
We need soul. So when we perform, I encourage people to put their phones down and really enjoy the moment. Experiencing music live is irreplaceable, and it’s vital to pass this message on to the younger generation. 
I hear it.
Let’s talk about Renegade Live. What inspired your decision to incorporate live instruments into your performances, especially considering that the music originated from electronic production? 
It’s about capturing the energy of the records. I want the audience to feel that same feeling on stage. With a drummer and a bass player, we blend analog and digital elements, creating a sound that drives the crowd wild.  I also want to give a shoutout to my band: Donny on drums, Ben on bass, Mike on keys as our conductor, and Miss Clar, our resident singer. As a producer, I see myself as a conductor, translating my studio skills into a live performance while also playing the keytar to bring that 80s sound into the mix.
We created a lot of records back in the day, and those tracks have solidified our legacy. Labels like Metalheadz, V Recordings, and the early days of Hospital Records, along with producers like DJ SS and Bizzy B, shaped our sound. Each of us had a unique style, and we owe so much to legends like Fabio & Grooverider and LTJ Bukem. We’ve lost some incredible artists, including MC Conrad and Fats, and I feel blessed to have been part of that era. This is truly an ode to celebrating their legacy.
You have long-standing collaborations with legends like the Ragga Twins and MC Juiceman. Why is it important for you to preserve these connections?
We’re always open to welcoming new people to join us, but the crowd goes crazy for them. Juiceman is our guiding force who helps navigate the musical story. The Ragga Twins bring that special energy, and we have some exciting guests lined up that you won’t want to miss. It feels like mini concerts, almost like the Luther Vandross of jungle and drum & bass. We’ve had a lot of successful years, and our music holds a lot of people’s memories.
It hits me hard sometimes because we’ve lost so many along the way. I get emotional when I play, remembering all those we’ve lost. Every day we wake up grateful for a breath, for seeing our children, and for the people we love. I stay away from negativity; I’m spiritual and do yoga. For me, music is about trying to be a better version of myself.
These are testimonial years, but also a celebration of what we’ve accomplished musically. Playing live with my band, we sold out the Jazz Cafe and performed at Lost Horizon and Boomtown last year—it was fantastic, and the journey continues.
I’m also excited to share that I’ve mastered the CD, which will be available soon. Renegade Live at Jazz Café will be available for purchase at our pop-ups, record stores, and on our website as a limited edition. It’s all about celebrating the incredible legends in our scene and creating a vibrant atmosphere every time we perform.
After three decades in the scene, what would you say is your proudest achievement in music?
I’m incredibly grateful for the last 30 years. Music has kept me out of jail; without it, I would have just rebelled against the system. I can’t stand to see people suffer from discrimination or prejudice. Embracing love and creativity through true abundance is what it’s all about.
Every piece of my music carries a part of me, and while I sometimes struggle with the reactions, I’m just a normal guy who loves art and culture. I’ll go to any lengths to perform that art to the best of my ability. We give thanks and love, and we’re forever grateful to be surrounded by all the kings and queens of music. As long as we’re here—shout it from on hilltops and mountains—this music is global now, and we need to take care of it.
With all your experience, what’s the biggest piece of advice you’d give to upcoming DJs and producers?
Be yourself and live your dreams—don’t let anyone piss on your fire. Create music out of love, not ego, and always stay humble. Appreciate that one person in the audience; I’ve played for just three people before, but I still poured my heart into the performance. When you have a full room, give it your all. Practice, listen, go out, learn, and dedicate your life to it—not just with one toe in. Make sure you’re doing mixes, getting on the radio, securing residencies, and throwing parties. Put in the work. Sustain your passion while taking care of yourself; you don’t have to be broke to be a producer.
I work day and night, eat, repeat, sleep, and go again. It’s about balance. Avoid hanging out with enablers, keep your eyes on the prize and stay focused. Also, if you want to DJ, you need to earn your stripes and learn from the original OGs. DJing isn’t just an act; it’s a journey with a beginning, middle, and end.
I feel there is too much pressure on the younger generation. With fame comes challenges like money, alcohol, and drugs—these topics need to be addressed. I’m clean and focused, training five days a week, doing yoga, and maintaining my well-being in this challenging industry. Cultivating love is essential, and you must learn to navigate it with honesty, integrity, and your music. I believe I’ve done that for over 30 years. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved and the amazing parties we’ve hosted this year.

[EDM.com] Grabbitz and Rezz Reunite for Haunting Collaboration, "Love You Til' I'm Dead"

Grabbitz and Rezz are no strangers to alchemy, but "Love You Til' I'm Dead" may be their most haunting concoction yet. 
Aptly released on Valentine's Day via Blue Butterfly Records, the lead single from Grabbitz's forthcoming album BIG EPIC NOTHING takes a daring step away from the duo's usual bass-heavy formula, trading dark, hypnotic drops for raw emotional weight.
Grabbitz’s signature, soul-stirring vocals guide the track with an aching intensity while Rezz—typically known for her eerie, bass-laden productions—weaves a brooding atmosphere of tension rather than unleashing full-throttle drops. The result is a track that resonates far beyond the dancefloor, carrying an emotional pull that will hit just as hard for those hopelessly in love as it will for those nursing fresh wounds.
"Love You Til' I'm Dead" marks the pair's third collaboration following 2020's "Someone Else" and 2023’s "Signal," but it carves out a space entirely its own. Grabbitz characterized the new single as a "huge creative leap" for the duo.
"Having Rezz step in and produce on my album is an honor, and getting more familiar with her taste as a producer has been inspiring," he said in a press release. "Having her wrap her arms around my project has given me confidence that there doesn’t always need to be a 'drop,' good music is good music."

From the artist
My musical taste is very obscure and schizophrenic I’ll be listening to 145 BPM techno like AIRROD, a minute later to The Doors, and then in half hour to Atarashii Gakko! (a J-Pop group you can’t sleep on, I’m just saying). I’m the same with my auditory taste in dance music ( I hate the term EDM, so I won’t use it). I got introduced to dance music at EDC 2009 when it was still in Los Angeles, and it changed my life.
I was a rock and roll and hip-hop head, was into groups like The Clash, Atmosphere, Pink Floyd, Tupac, Black Flag, etc. . I won’t go on and on about my history with dance music because this article would be a few pages long. But over the 15 years of being in love with dance music I listened to everything and every genre from happy hardcore to witch house. But here are a few cli notes: Ferry Corsten was my rst favorite DJ and Boys Noize at Coachella 2012 changed my life and made fall in love with techno when I was just into big room and trance, I been to international festivals like Tomorrowland Belgium and Brazil , Ultra in Miami, Japan and Croatia. I saw every DJ at least 10 times at this point. I been to hundreds of underground events, raves, concerts and clubs events in Southern California at this point. I’m obsessed with dance music, I’m always on Beatport trying to nd hidden gems in all genres.

Right now, I bet you are thinking what this has to do with my new track ‘Dance All Night’? Well,Dance All Night is a track inspired by the dierent dance music genres that I love, in his case melodic techno and tech house. I started with a power bassline and percussion typically in rolling tech house because I wanted the people to dance as soon as people heard it. I was inspired by the basslines from DJ’s like Meduza and Max Styler. The underling melody is the perfect combo of trance and big room. For the drop I wanted it to be unique, so I made a drop inspired by Malaa, one of my all-time favorite producers. Dance All Night is a mix of all the genres I love and play in my DJ sets.

[EDMTunes] Martin Garrix Also Suffers From Tinnitus

Alesso sparked news last week by announcing tinnitus was the reason for his recent show cancellations. In an emotional video, Alesso was saddened by the health issue but said they were getting better. Now, Martin Garrix has also come out in a recent interview saying he too has tinnitus. Both artists were quick to tell us all to “wear earplugs”.
Martin says he has a “nonstop beep” and prefers always to have “music on in the background.” He compared it to having “10 mosquitos” around your ear. Which we all can agree is super annoying.
He also stated that many of his fellow DJ peers are experiencing the same issues. Martin cited the problems stemmed from his early days not wearing earplugs when DJing and his long studio sessions. Now he has a DB meter that flashes lights at him when the volume is too loud.
The best thing you can do for your ears long term is to wear earplugs at every show you go to. Eargasm is my favorite to wear. You can have your moments when you take them out and enjoy the music in full, but overall its best to keep them plugged!

[Electric-Mode] Shawn Matthew Brings The Tech House Energy With ‘U Got All I Want’

Shawn Matthew continues to make waves with the release of his latest single, ‘U Got All I Want’, a track that seamlessly fuses classic tech house grooves with the raw energy of early hip-hop. Designed for both the dancefloor and the airwaves, this release delivers a punchy blend of driving rhythms, hypnotic synths, and a bouncy organic bassline that throws it back to the spirit of 1992.

 
With influences from Mark Knight, Green Velvet, and James Hurr, the track plays like a future club favorite while paying homage to the genre’s past. Much like Purple Disco Machine’s fusion of tech house and disco, Shawn Matthew masterfully merges the pulsating beats of tech house with the grit and swagger of early hip-hop, crafting a nostalgic yet modern sound.


‘U Got All I Want’ is just the beginning. This track kicks off an exciting series of releases lined up for this year, with each new production drawing on elements of 80s-90s nostalgia to bring fresh energy into tech house.

[GrooveCartel] Steve Angello releases anticipated single ‘Darkness In Me’

The new song “Darkness In Me” by Steve Angello and Modern Tales is out now via Astralwerks / SIZE.
The song is about avoiding temptation and giving in to your urges. Along with the song, they put out an exciting film. The main character in the movie, Gleb Sazonov, goes on an emotional and life-changing journey to accept himself. The pulsing beat, strong artistic scenes, flashing lights, and AI images all work together to create a one-of-a-kind way to watch something.
This is Angello’s first new music this year. He put out the album “Hooligans” last fall, and then he had an exciting return to the Brooklyn Mirage stage.
Angello also released “ME“ and worked with Sebastian Ingrosso, who is also in the Swedish House Mafia, on the song “Skip.” Swedish House Mafia played a historic 6-week Ushuaïa Ibiza Residency last summer, as well as at many international music festivals, such as the Garorock Festival, the Panama Open Air Festival, the Lucca Summer Festival, the Untold Festival, the Findings Festival, and the mainstage at Tomorrowland, which was their first time back at the festival in 12 years.
Who are Modern Tales?
Two brothers, Jonas Rathsman and Franz Novotny, were born into a land shaped by the rough beauty of Sweden. Their paths were meant to cross. They each went on their own journey to find their own place in the world until a shared vision called them back together. Which is how Modern Tales came to be—a group with a strong Northern spirit, where sad and mysterious sounds were mixed into every note they played.
Like old stories, their music moves both the heart and the body. Their sound is both big and small, mixing movie-like sounds with the raw sounds of human feeling, all carried on the winds of their country’s ancient legends.
In 2020, when everything seemed to be still and dark, two brothers found light in a blank sheet and filled it with the colors of a new project. Their songs, which they wrote alone, traveled far and were heard by Rüfüs Du Sol, who invited them on a trip that took them to faraway places and to a promise with Rose Avenue. That’s when their storytelling skills really came to life, and their music brought people who didn’t know each other together in a way that no words could describe.
But this is just the start. Modern Tales is at the start of a long, twisting road. Their Nordic sound holds a light for them and those who follow. There is still a story to be told that will inspire people and last for a long time.

[Electric-Mode] Home Again Club Festival 2025 Puts Berlin Back on the Festival Map

Home Again announces the return of its Club Festival for 2025, promising a celebration of electronic music culture. Taking place from May 28 to June 2, 2025, across the iconic RSO.BERLIN and the sprawling Valley Stage, this third edition solidifies Berlin’s status as the heartbeat of global club culture.
 
With Thursday, May 29, marked as a public holiday in most of Europe, it’s the perfect excuse for an extended Berlin escape. This year’s lineup is the festival’s most dynamic yet, featuring headliners Peggy Gou, Solomun, Job Jobse alongside techno titans Helena Hauff, I Hate Models, and many more.
 

 
Following two unforgettable editions in 2023 and 2024, Home Again has quickly become synonymous with the essence of Berlin’s electronic music scene. This year, the festival expands its vision, hosting 4 stages across 4 days and 5 nights, seamlessly blending the raw energy of Berlin’s club scene with the open-air euphoria of a festival.

At the festival’s core is The Valley, a unique outdoor venue that gained viral attention after Marlon Hoffstadt’s unforgettable performance there during last year’s Home Again. The industrial backyard vibe, nestled in the middle of an old brewery, has become a symbol of Berlin hedonism, providing an unmatched post-industrial backdrop that defines the festival’s aesthetic.
 
After sundown, the party continues at the neighboring RSO.BERLIN, with its state-of-the-art sound system and versatile indoor spaces: the epic Robus and the intimate Summe, keeping the vibes going.
 
Nils Caspar Thabo Gelfort, founder of Home Again, shares:
 
“With the third edition of Home Again Club Festival, we’re dedicated to giving Berlin the festival it deserves. We are here to celebrate the city’s rich electronic music heritage while showcasing its versatility. It’s a HOMEcoming. Many of the artists in our lineup are returning to Berlin after years of making waves around the globe. Their stories and sounds are intertwined with this city, and we’re thrilled to welcome them back.
 
Unlike traditional festivals, we offer an urban festival experience that blends seamlessly with the city’s pulse. No tents to pitch, no designated drivers needed—just pure, unfiltered music and community, right where it all started. We strive to keep the festival accessible and convenient, not only for Berliners but also for visitors looking to combine a full festival experience with a vibrant trip to Berlin.”

Beyond the Music
 
Home Again isn’t just about the music. The festival also features a non-music programme with panel talks, workshops, and community gatherings in the biergarten-style Baergarten, fostering dialogue around the culture and future of electronic music.
 
Tickets are available via https://homeagain.berlin/festival. Full lineup and running order to be announced soon.

[GrooveCartel] Sandro Cavazza Speaks Out Against Unauthorized Avicii Single Release

Sandro Cavazza, a singer-songwriter, has openly questioned the release of “Forever Yours – Tim’s 2016 Ibiza Version,” a song on which he and the late EDM pioneer Avicii sing together.
Cavazza spoke out against the release on social media, saying that he had agreed to include Tim’s demo version in a full live record from the artist’s last show but not as a separate single. The song was played at Avicii’s last live show in 2016 at Ushuaia in Ibiza. It was released by Interscope Records, Pophouse, and the Avicii Estate.
People are interested in Avicii’s music again after watching the Netflix films “Avicii: I’m Tim” and “Avicii: My Last Show.” While these productions have helped Avicii’s legal albums, “True” (2013), “Stories” (2015), and the posthumous “Tim” (2019), get back on top of the charts around the world, Cavazza’s comments raise important questions about the morality of releasing music after someone has died.
The music business has been talking for a long time about artistic ethics and how hard it is to manage an artist’s legacy. This controversy adds to that conversation. The fact that Cavazza told Pinguettes recordings, Per Sundin, and Tim’s family to not release the song shows how important it is to respect an artist’s artistic vision while also preserving their work.
As the story goes on, it shows how difficult it can be for artists, partners, and estates to work together on releases after the artist has died.
This is especially true in the electronic music scene, where unreleased tracks and live performances are important parts of an artist’s legacy.
This event is a reminder that music releases are about more than just making money. There are also deeply personal and artistic aspects that should be carefully considered. This is especially true when dealing with the legacies of important artists like Avicii, whose influence on electronic music is still felt years after his death.

[EDM.com] Son of Son Shares Vision Behind Hit Collab With Anyma and Argy, "Voices In My Head"

When two Afterlife powerhouses join forces with Son of Son, or "The Great Blondino," the result is pure magic.
The surging melodic techno producer has teamed up with Anyma and Argy, two of the genre's biggest stars, to release "Voices In My Head." The transformative track is a pure adrenaline rush, with a vocal hook that captivates and hypnotizes in equal measure.
After many viral appearances in Anyma's historic Vegas Sphere residency, the hotly anticipated track hit streaming platforms today ahead of a tour for Son of Son, who is primed for a sweeping February tour of India. Meanwhile, Anyma is preparing for his final shows in the record-breaking Sphere, which he recently called "the future of live experiences."
EDM.com caught up with Son of Son to discuss his creative vision, artistic goals and the story behind "Voices In My Head."
View the original article to see embedded media.
EDM.com: What was it like working with Anyma and Argy to produce "Voices In My Head" and how has your relationship with each artist blossomed?
Son of Son: All I can say is that, despite the industry being a bit shitty sometimes, I just feel total gratitude for everything. Both Anyma and Argy are a huge part of this track. It really was a collaborative team effort. Anyma is the undisputed champion and Argy changed my life forever, man.
We each bring our own perspectives, which makes the process even more dynamic, and I will always be thankful for what he has done for me. It took 13 years for someone to finally give Son of Son a chance, and Argy was the first guy to do it. No one else ever did.
EDM.com: Where did the concept for the track's vocal sample come from?
Son of Son: I was up late night working as usual and I got the idea to make a track about the creative voices keeping me awake. I had the concept ready in my mind so I started writing a few different phrases about not being able to sleep, or being awake, or hearing voices.
Eventually I came up with the final phrase and used AI to create the voice. Basically the first time I wrote lyrics myself.
EDM.com: Tell us about your affinity for jazz and how your interest pivoted into producing electronic music.
Son of Son: I heard Dave Brubeck's "Take Five" for the first time when I was a kid and that song made 12-year-old me go, ”Damn, these guys smashing the drums are super cool." After some successful nagging, my mom helped me buy a drum set.
The only problem with being a 12-year-old jazz drummer is that you have no one to play with. A few years later I snuck into a deadmau5 show with fake passes and from that point on, I knew exactly what I was going to do with my life—I sold the drum set and bought a computer instead to make electronic music.
EDM.com: How did your nickname, "The Great Blondino," come about?
Son of Son: A friend of mine commented "The Great Blondino" on one of my posts. She’s as blonde as you can get too. People loved it and it became big. All of a sudden everyone started saying it.
It originally comes from a song by Stakka Bo, the guy who directed HBO’s Chernobyl. Who knows, maybe I’ll sample his song and release it some day.
EDM.com: How does your interest in fashion play into your music?
Son of Son: I was the strange kid in high school who drew sketches of clothes in my math books. The interest was always there—I even made some of my own clothes because I couldn’t afford the stuff I wanted. It’s a form of expression for me and it’s all very natural to me. The way I dress, the humor, the way I move on stage, the way I make content… it's a very well-curated package.
I feel like almost every other DJ still doesn’t understand the importance of having flavor. Some character. We already have guys wearing the same black t-shirts onstage and that’s totally fine, but it’s not me. I’m happy to give people a part of myself—something different, something they’re not used to. I know that’s what they’re craving right now.
View the original article to see embedded media.
EDM.com: What has been your most fun live performance to-date and why?
Son of Son: I’ve had so many outstanding shows but I’ll give you the top three. The "X" show in Cartagena was perhaps the greatest night of my life. There was a flood in the city—my set was paused for 30 minutes due to thunder and rain—but we still had a great time with the crowd. I met a lot of amazing people and great new friends, and I danced with Adriatique and a wonderful group of beautiful girls all night. Thank you Adriatique.
My Cairo show was chaotic—loved it. There were like five or six fights, it was probably 35° Celsius in the club, I had a great time with this beautiful girl there, some really good tea, some hardcore Egyptian gangsters wanted to take photos with me after the show… it was just wild, man. Punk concert!
My show in Tunisia with the Alees World crew was probably the show with the most positive and loving atmosphere I’ve ever done. They also surprised me with a birthday cake, which was nice.
EDM.com: What are some of your top goals, both musical and personal, for 2025?
Son of Son: My biggest personal goal is always to take care of my mom, and to make sure I stay healthy and love every second of my work.
Musical goal? I’m going to keep throwing curveballs all the time, both in my sets and in my releases. Don’t expect me to do what everyone else is doing.
