SVDDEN DEATH and Marshmello have joined forces for a new mixtape, "MELLODEATH Tapes Vol. 1." "Triumphant" is one of the its undeniable highlights, its melodic bass euphoria serving as a respite from the pandemonium. Things take a much darker turn, however, with the ensuing "Fireball," a collaboration with metalcore band Crown the Empire, whose fire-and-brimstone vocals run roughshod through a ferocious dubstep arrangement. Elsewhere, "Vortexblade" takes a more minimal approach with its croaking bass, which slithers through thunderous 808s. Mello and SVDDEN DEATH close out with "Burn It Down," blending elements of Wave and riddim to tie a bow on the record with an anthemic barn-burner. SVDDEN DEATH and Marshmello.Jason Fenmore/Oh Dag Yo The heavy-hitting release arrives ahead of a co-headlining "MELLODEATH" tour, which is set to kick off on April 4th at Colorado's iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.

Channeling the bittersweet beauty of impermanence, Camden Cox has unveiled a new single, "Another." The track is a forgotten polaroid in a dusty attic, its layered production and introspective songwriting inviting us down a nostalgic path of self-reflection on growth and impermanence. The prolific singer-songwriter, who was recently named to the EDM.com Class of 2024, bares her soul over a haunting house beat, exploring our desire to cling to the ephemeral memories of love lost. Set against the fading warmth of a bygone flame, Cox's emotive vocals convey a sense of rising above pain while acknowledging the void left behind. Her lyrics weave a tapestry of solitude, but the beat throbs with a steady resolve—a dancefloor therapy session where the pain of letting go finds a rhythm. The release coincides with International Women's Day and follows Cox's recent sold-out headlining show at The Hackney Social in London, where she was joined by Hayla, Alex Mills, Darla Jade, Driia, Hannah Boleyn and Lily McKenzie.

In light of the recent report – Misogyny in Music, it’s evident that women are underrepresented in the industry compared to men. However, if you’re a woman aspiring to carve your path in the world of music, don’t let this deter you. While there’s still progress to be made in closing the gender gap, comparing historical data reveals a promising trend: we’re moving in the right direction. Today, let’s keep the spotlight on the positive. We want to introduce you to some phenomenal women working behind the scenes in the music industry- there are loads of them- and there’s always room for more. If you’re interested in delving deeper into the statistics and understanding the challenges women face in the music industry, we’ve provided some links to reports below. But for now, let’s celebrate the achievements of these extraordinary women. May their stories inspire you to take the next step towards pursuing your dreams in this exhilarating, passion-filled industry. Maya Event Marketing Manager Hi! Who are you? I’m Maya, I’m 24 and have been working within the events department at Hospital Records / Hospitality D&B Events for the past 3 years. What is your job role? Event Marketing Manager How did you get into the role? I have always loved drum & bass and have been going to raves and listening to the genre since I was around 15/16. I knew I wanted to get into the industry but didn’t go to uni so I wanted to gain some experience. I started doing my own D&B nights in my hometown alongside mates mainly when I was 18 and then began doing freelance marketing managing during covid which led me to my role. I love drum and bass, and I love marketing so this role was essentially my dream job. What’s the best part of your job? There are a lot of great parts. The networking part is great, I have met friends for life through working in the industry and it’s great to be able to work alongside so many talented and like-minded people! I think definitely one of the best parts is when the event comes around and I can physically see the campaigns I work on come to life. One notable highlight of my career was probably looking out to our sold-out London festival with over 12,000 ravers seeing them all with smiles on their faces having the time of their lives, knowing I had a part in making that happen. Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? I have encountered instances where expressing my opinions became challenging, with my views sometimes being undermined or challenged. This has been particularly evident when collaborating with agents, managers, and promoters, which is a big part of my role. There are a lot of big characters within the industry, and I do find myself sometimes doubting my ability or lacking confidence when it comes to working alongside them and struggle to get a word in. But I have been very lucky to have been supported by incredible men throughout my career from the artists I work with and within my company. I have grown into a manager in a short amount of time, have been given opportunities that have helped me excel, and I know that with my peers my opinions are always valued, and I know who to go to in times of need, knowing I’ll always get the support I need. Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? 100%! Don’t get me wrong there is still a lot of work to be done but I have seen a shift over the past couple of years – more diverse lineups, more celebration of talented women with initiatives such as Hospital Records Women In Drum & Bass, EQ50, NOWIE, etc and generally there’s a growing presence of talented women in the industry, and I feel fortunate to work with them daily. In my opinion, more women are increasingly vocal when something is not right or when something needs to change; from challenging promoters booking all-male lineups to supporting labels and promoters with suggestions for female talent. Personally, I am very lucky to work with very talented women in my team, and within the events & music we promote at Hospital Records. Roshni Distribution and Rights Manager Hi! Who are you? Hi, I’m Roshni and I work for AEI and in my spare time I like to hoop. What’s your job role? I’m the Distribution and Rights Manager at AEI. I deal with all things related to DSPs and Copyright Infringement among other things. Sometimes it’s almost like being a detective, making sure all of the metadata is an exact match and picking up on any issues, such as a few numbers being wrong in a series of numbers we use as codes. How did you get into the role? I was first introduced to the world of Copyright and Intellectual property at uni and found it really interesting. I used the knowledge I gained from it in previous jobs and found it really helps with this job. What’s the best part of your job? Hands down the team! Having a fab team around to help and support you makes all the difference. Having women at every level of the company is fantastic as well as there’s always a voice who understands and can help with what we go through as women. Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? I would say that behaviours are different. I’ve often noticed that when meeting someone (especially for the first time) they tend to shake the hands of a male colleague yet will go in for hug with you. I’ve also had conversations with female colleagues where we’ve found that people tend to be pushier and more aggressive when trying to disagree with us than they would if they were disagreeing with a male member of the team. People think they have more of a chance of getting an upper hand with us and feel they can intimidate us. Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? I think it has, but it still has a long way to go, as proven by the recent studies into the topic. We have a lot of work to do to improve the industry. That change needs to come from our male counterparts as well. We’re always told to speak up and report any issues we experience but in reality, it can be quite frightening to do so Jess Senior PR Manager Hi! Who are you? I’m Jess, 29, and have been working in PR in the music industry for 6 years. What is your job role? Senior PR Manager at Jukebox PR How did you get into the role? I got into raving late compared to some, 18 onwards- when I started uni. It was then I decided I wanted to go down the music route in my journalism degree so interned at NME and Mixmag. But I was also interested in the world of PR, particularly in electronic music and after I graduated I did PR internships and freelance work before going full-time and haven’t looked back since. What’s the best part of your job? Working with some top clients and having a versatile roster but also having worked on some of my dream clients across D&B and beyond! No day is the same and something new is always around the corner, you never know what exciting project you may have the opportunity to work on next. Networking too, and building long-lasting relationships face to face with your clients whether it’s the artist, manager, label or media plays a great part and is one of the most valuable and exciting parts of the job. Also, seeing the projects you’ve worked on tell the artist’s story with interviews and features as well as supporting clients at their shows, meeting like-minded people like you’re on one big team and seeing your client’s release or a live show that they’ve worked so hard for come to life. Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? I am lucky to say I haven’t personally faced any serious female-specific obstacles during my career so far but have unfortunately heard of some other people’s experiences. I am very fortunate that so far the people I have worked for have had zero tolerance and are completely understanding of any kind of sexism within the workplace and also when working with external clients. I used to feel apprehensive about sharing my views or suggestions when meeting all-male client teams as if I won’t be taken seriously as I used to get cut off in the past. However I feel now with experience, I will always voice my opinion and won’t be shut down, especially if I think it’s going to add value to whatever I’m working on. I am really glad to say that in my current role at Jukebox, the team is majority female which shows that the PR, marketing and media landscape in the industry has definitely progressed. I have been surrounded by talented and influential women since working full-time in PR, it’s great to see us all smashing it and owning our talent in an industry that overall is still very male-dominated. Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? Yes definitely, slowly but surely. It’s unfortunate to hear on more than one occasion that there is still a gender pay gap within the industry, and I feel this needs to change ASAP. I am extremely lucky to have never worked somewhere that employs this, women work just as hard as men and do the same job so should be paid the exact same. There are great festivals and events leading by example with more female headliners, and female lineups in general as well as females curating the lineups. This is super important and has been great to see a shift here, definitely in more recent years. Personally, I have always felt supported and accepted by my male peers and never felt undervalued due to my gender. There are some men I know who are an incredible example of how to treat people fairly – supporting, encouraging and mentoring women and allowing them to be heard. I really hope more men continue to foster this mindset and attitude towards women who are making their first steps into the industry today! Amy Jayne Label Manager Hi! Who are you? I’m Amy Jayne and I’m currently based in Brighton. What is your job role? I’ve worked in underground dance for over a decade and currently spin several plates. My main gig is with 1985 Music where I’ve been the Label Manager for 3 years. I also work as a freelance artist and label consultant where I mostly advise self-releasing artists. I work closely with Workforce and his label Must Make Music and have previously worked with Technimatic, S.P.Y, and The North Quarter to name a few. Outside of music releases, I’m also a freelance Tutor at BIMM Brighton focusing on Music Business and Marketing. How did you get into the role? My journey into the music industry was certainly not planned or straightforward. From a young age, I was always surrounded by people with musical talent and loved organising ways of helping them showcase their art – from putting on a charity Battle of the Bands show at the age of 13 to running my own drum & bass event while at university. When I started going out to clubs I became immersed in the community as much as I could, joining forums (this was way before Facebook let alone social media as it is today) and travelling to meet other people who shared the same love for underground dance – whether that be fellow ravers, promoters, club owners, etc. I didn’t realise it at the time but it was networking – which apparently, I’m good at. After years of exit flying for fellow promoters, promoting my own dubstep events, and working as an event photographer in the North East of England I caught the attention of Tony Colman AKA London Elektricity who invited me to move to London to join the Hospital Records team as their Promotions Assistant. That was probably the point where it all changed for me, where I thought about it as a career rather than just things I did for fun or to get me into clubs for free or a bit of extra spending money for nights out. I threw myself into the role and soaked up all the knowledge I could from the amazing team which resulted in me being promoted to Head of the Promotion Department a year later. After that, I continued to try and make myself as multifaceted as possible and attended music conferences across the world – and later, going on to speak at some. Picking up even more knowledge I went on to work with other labels and after a brief freelance period went to work with Shogun Audio as Head of Marketing. You could say as I’ve grown up my role in the music industry has also grown – I’ve gone from promotion and marketing to wanting to understand the release process from start to finish – this finally led me to the Label Manager role with Shogun and the other imprints under their umbrella. Fast forward to the pandemic and everyone and their gran were self-releasing due to the circumstances, but not all creatives understand the business behind it – this is where I saw a gap in the market and started my consultancy business. A year or so into that Alix Perez called me for some advice which resulted in him asking me to manage 1985 Music – I certainly didn’t see that coming but obviously jumped at the chance. What’s the best part of your job? There are so many elements to what I do. Even after being part of hundreds and hundreds of records, I still get excited the eve before a release regardless of whether it’s a single track or an album. Hitting refresh at midnight and seeing the artist’s work pop up on stores will never grow old – and if it does I think I would question my position. Artists put their faith in me to present the best campaign for their art and it’s a lot of responsibility, watching them get the recognition they deserve is so rewarding. Another side of it is the live events, watching the reaction from the fans as they see the venue and watch the sets – it’s such a great feeling. We recently sold out the Roundhouse and when the doors opened and fans started coming through the doors it was amazing watching the look on their faces as they looked around such an epic venue. I kept taking myself up to the balcony to have little moments on my own like “I helped do this!” in disbelief. I won’t be forgetting that day anytime soon that’s for sure. Don’t get me wrong – these are the fun parts of my job and it isn’t always like that. I’m hardly posting pictures on my Instagram of me knee-deep in admin, emails, and metadata which is a daily occurrence and is a very important part of what I do. Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? Working at events as a woman can be tough at times, drum & bass in a male-dominated world where alcohol and drugs are involved and people’s judgement isn’t always at its best. I’ve experienced countless times at events where I’ve been made to feel like I shouldn’t be there, whether that’s people assuming I’m a girlfriend of one of the artists (or trying to be) or people assuming I’m just there to bring them beers when I played a large part in the event happening in the first place. I’ve been told I can’t possibly be a label manager because I’m too young or a girl! Another thing that I’ve struggled with over the years is people not taking me seriously when I’ve been a woman in a managerial position and had to have difficult conversations. Then when a male colleague steps in echoing what I said, they instantly back down and accept the proposal or answer they were given in the first place. This isn’t unique to the music industry of course but it is very frustrating. Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? Things are certainly moving in the right direction but there is still a lot more work to do. I feel that until women feel safe on the dancefloor itself, there is always gonna be unbalance in terms of equality. It’s great to see bookers being more mindful of equality on lineups and more women in higher positions behind the scenes but by some, especially in the live sector they are seen as token acts on bills and discredited. I’ve heard men complain that this artist is getting more bookings than them because they are a woman etc. Sometimes it feels like we can’t win! Predatory behaviour still exists too, it gets called out now more than it ever did but some stories still sadly get brushed under the carpet. Society as a whole is pretty fucked but it’s certainly improving on that front. Savannah Simms Company Director Hi! Who are you? Savannah Simms, 28, loves the creative industries! What’s your job role? Director- We Are Impact, Artist Developer- MOBO UnSung, Freeland Event Manager and DJ How did you get into your role? In my current role as a Freelance Artist Developer for the MOBO Awards, my dedicated commitment to the creative industries is evident. My journey began with serving as a Band Coach and A&R for Mas Records charity, where I meticulously managed recordings, rehearsals, gig bookings, and comprehensive marketing and logistics strategies, contributing to the success of over 90 bands. My impactful contributions continued as I assumed the role of Director for We Are Impact (formerly Tileyard Impact for Tileyard Studios). Here, I facilitated the employment of 82 individuals and secured work placements for over 100 young people. Spearheading masterclasses and seminars featuring industry professionals from esteemed businesses, I impacted the lives of over 20,000 individuals. Collaborating with influential entities such as Apple Music, Spitfire Audio, Google, AEI, Ted Baker, Pioneer DJ, and Broadwick Live, I curated bespoke workshops and work experiences, furthering my commitment to fostering creativity within the community. My involvement with schools in the Camden and Islington area, along with collaborations with organizations like Sound Skool, Loud Futures, Girls I Rate, Girl Grind UK, Small Green Shoots, and The Halley, reflects my dedication to nurturing talent at every opportunity. In the events realm, I’ve showcased my prowess as an Event Producer for Labour’s Summer Reception for two consecutive years. Working alongside prominent figures such as Sir Lenny Henry, Keir Starmer, and Tom Watson, I played multifaceted roles as Event Manager, Technical Stage Manager, Artist Booker, Promoter and DJ Promoter in live music, festivals, and nightlife. Collaborating with prestigious entities like Glastonbury, Abbey Road Studios, PRS Foundation, Royal Albert Hall, and The Great Escape, among others, has enriched my experience and expanded my network. Beyond events, my versatility shines through. From performing spoken word at charity Galas for the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge to producing podcasts for comedians like Dane Baptiste & Eshaan Akbar, I’ve embraced diverse opportunities. My accomplishments have garnered recognition, featuring me in prominent media outlets such as ITV News, Soho Radio, BBC Radio, and The Guardian. What’s the best part of your job? Meeting new people, every day is different! I love the adventure of it all!! Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? Unfortunately sexual harassment, misogyny and belittlement. I was once told to “not bother continuing in events, as I “would not get far as a woman in drum and bass” by an MC/DJ. Remarks have been made on my body as well as inappropriate touching within the workplace. Not being taken seriously as management, especially when I was younger, it was a constant battle! Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? I feel there has been more of a change. The report ‘WOMEN IN CTRL FOLLOW-UP REPORT- LOOKING AT THE REPRESENTATION OF WOMEN IN THE BOARDROOM IN THE UK MUSIC INDUSTRY TRADE BODIES’ opened my eyes to how far we have come within the industry within a year alone. Highly recommend you to have a read. There are a lot more women in senior roles, I feel our voice is being heard much more than before. We still have a long way to go but I am hopeful it will be a lot brighter in the future! Marisa Specialist Publisher Hi! Who are you? Hi, I’m Marisa (also known as Mel, also known as pyxis) and I co-run S2k Music which is a drum and bass specialist publishing company, with my business partner Laura. What is your job role? I collect mechanical and performing royalties all over the world for labels and producers in the scene. How did you get into your role? I fell into it by accident really, I was looking for work in the music business and I was friends with the people running the company and I got the job, this was in 2001! What’s the best part of your job? Drum and bass! I was a huge lover of D&B before I got the job, and this was just a dream role for me, I love being able to get people the money they’re owed, keep my ears to the ground, watch new talent rise and take care of some really big clients too. We just actually past 40k works on our repertoire this week which is massive. Have you faced any female-specific obstacles during your career? I honestly haven’t, it’s the opposite, everyone thinks of me as a mum or a sister but that said, I do have some really misogynistic clients who aren’t very polite, I have even had a death threat from a certain male producer and a couple of clients have made us feel very uncomfortable, I wonder if they’d speak to a man that way? Or their mum, or their sister? Has the industry become more accepting of women over the years? It really has actually, as a publisher and producer I was on both sides of the coin because people automatically expect women to work in admin, accounts, etc but not as a producer and the biggest win for us is watching our female client base rise and rise in the last few years. When I was in the first few years of working in publishing, we had no female clients and it felt quite miserable if I’m being honest, no offence to the lads but working with other girls feels more cosy and less corporate, signing off emails with love and hugs is really nice to work with, so big shouts to all my female clients and I’m so happy to see it rise and rise!

A pair of Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch alumni have united on a stunning melodic bass cover of Billie Eilish’s Grammy Award-winning track, “What Was I Made For?.” And that’s Luci and STAR SEED, who reimagine the cut from the Barbie movie soundtrack with a refreshing new take from the two multi-talented artists. With the former lending his production hand and the latter offering her vocals, this rendition of Eilish’s hit marks the first-ever collaboration between them. STAR SEED is fresh off of releasing his remix of Kill The Noise and Karra‘s “Afraid Of The Dark” off of the former’s Hollow World Reanimated remix album on Ophelia Records. And he’s set to hit the road in March with five tour dates alongside William Black and MitiS. Luci is fresh off a 2023 run that saw her release her debut album, bittersweet. And she opened 2024 with a heavy-hitting single “Decode” that features her dynamic ability as a producer, songwriter and singer that’s become ubiquitous across her catalog. She also just announced that she’ll be performing during Miami Music Week as part of the BPM Music x Prodigy Artists Showcase alongside the likes of Ootoro, Yetep and more. Luci and STAR SEED’s cover of “What Was I Made For?” is out on March 8, but it’s exclusively available a day early on Dancing Astronaut.

Coinciding with their current North American tour, CamelPhat‘s first collection of remixes for their Spiritual Milk album is out on March 1. Just a week after launching Vintage Culture’s remix of “Home” from CamelPhat and RHODES’, the British DJs have gathered an impressive list of producers to give their spin on a Spiritual Milk record. Released via When Stars Align and under exclusive license to The Nations, CamelPhat continues to build out a reputation for their surging imprint. First up is Milan based producer Ivory, turning in a psychedelic and visionary version of CamelPhat and Jake Bugg’s “Love Is Something”. Blurring the lines between soothing chords and deep house melodies, “Turning Stones” Arodes and Josh Gigante remix has quickly inserted itself into CamelPhat evolving setlists. Next up is Sideral’s calming melodic mixdown of “What A Day” featuring Delilah Montagu. Known for his 2023 hit single “Dialogue” with Dyzen, Sideral shows his unique range spanning the depths of house and techno. Finishing out the first collection is Dancing Astronaut Artist to Watch alumni KILL SCRIPT. Giving his cinematic techno spin on “In Your Eyes”, the low ends are set to rumble throughout stages for one of the heaviest tunes on the remix album. With more remixes on the way, CamelPhat’s album renewal is just getting started.

Errance, the solo project of Canadian artist Gabriel Gagnon, released his debut single, ‘Guidance’, on March 1, 2024, through Société Holographique de Montréal. The track serves as the lead for his upcoming self-produced album, ‘Errance,’ slated for release later this year. Gagnon, known for his extensive career as a producer and composer for renowned artists and international campaigns, has received support for ‘Guidance’ from BBC Radio 6’s Tom Ravenscroft and Deb Grant. Co-produced with Hologramme, the song showcases Gagnon’s musical journey rooted in deep introspection, self-growth, and a profound connection to nature. As Errance, he delivers a sound inspired by the likes of Floating Points, Mount Kimbie, Max Cooper and Jon Hopkins. ‘Guidance’ is an organic house composition reminiscent of Parra For Cuva and Fejká, featuring bouncy beats and resonant sounds. The track immerses listeners in a distant natural realm with its rhythmic percussion, rich synths, and resonant echoes. Free from monotony, it offers a sonic journey reflecting the calming yet invigorating essence of the natural world, akin to a vibrant setting that inspires contemplation. Errance revealed: “The inspiration for this track struck me during a hike last spring; the sound of the melted snow beneath my feet, the birds chirping around me, and the echoes of my voice against the rocks of the national park all played a part in shaping its conception. I recorded various sounds to capture that specific moment. My aim was to convey a sense of elevation, a continual ascension. . ‘Guidance’ is the balance between my electronic, organic, and sensory worlds, drawing inspiration from the perpetual movement of nature that surrounds us. It beckons you to forge ahead with determination, to contemplate the horizon, introspect and maintain focus. Through this release, I feel a longing to break free, to embark on a new chapter in my life, and to generously share my sound..” Follow Errance: Website – Facebook – Soundcloud – TikTok – Youtube – Instagram – Spotify

Here at UKF we wholeheartedly believe women should be celebrated for their talents, not just to fill up a diversity quota. We are steadfast in our mission for authenticity and recognition for everybody who creates within the bass music sphere. Women deserve to stand on stages illuminated by their own brilliance, not as tokens of diversity, but as masters of their craft. While strides have been made toward inclusivity and representation, the journey towards equality remains ongoing. “Women are underrepresented in key roles in the music industry. Positions of authority, from senior leadership through to roles in Artists and Repertoire and production have historically been more likely to be occupied by men. This is reflected in the unequal representation of female artists in the rosters of artists at major record labels, in airtime, streaming and as headliners at music festivals” -Misogyny In Music Report 2024 As the industry evolves, so too does the pipeline of opportunity. There are still fewer women available to cover than men. Yet, with each passing day, week, month, and year, the tide of change grows stronger, sweeping away barriers and paving the way for a future where equality reigns organically. That being said, we wanted to remind you of all the amazing women we’ve covered on UKF.com since last International Women’s Day and we hope the number is even greater next year.

With so much music being created with loops and samples, it almost seems like having a group of real musicians play together is becoming a lost art. Because going the electronic route is so easy, many producers or potential bands give up when things don’t sound right, and they don’t know why. The fact of […] The post The 8 Characteristics Of A Tight Band appeared first on Bobby Owsinski's Music Production Blog. View the full article

Today, global party institution Circoloco has revealed the dates for its 25th anniversary Ibiza season, taking place April 29 – October 14 at DC-10. CL24-animation Motions 23sec 4 Circoloco remains one of underground electronic music’s most important outfits. From its namesake party in Ibiza, spawned in 1999 as a Monday after-hours party, Circoloco has grown into a global music brand and veritable lifestyle, catalyzing cultural exchange with the most brilliant minds across art, fashion and entertainment. Its no-frills approach and forward-thinking lineups have perpetuated the underground spirit of its Balearic roots for 25 years. Circoloco’s impact on culture far exceeds its four walls, with the world’s of fashion and celebrity colliding with dance culture. It’s where Ricardo Tisci first heard the Martinez Brothers before booking them to soundtrack Givenchy shows for years; where P Diddy fell in love with dance music before releasing his electronic record II II; Virgil Abloh was inspired to design a capsule collection for the brand; a place where household names and high society stars can lose themselves on its dancefloor. Circoloco’s dance floor has sparked collaborations with world renowned brands such as Off-White, Adidas, and most notably a partnership with Rockstar Games, which led to the founding of Circoloco Records, serving as a far-reaching fusion between the virtual and physical worlds of music and entertainment. From its humble beginnings in the late-90s as a free Monday morning party at the infamous Ibiza venue DC-10, founder Antonio Carbonaro has overseen the exponential rise and expansion of Circoloco into fashion, design and recording, and ultimately one of the most influential and iconic brands in club culture. Individual lineups for the 2024 season will be announced in the coming months, but in true Circoloco fashion revelers can expect the unexpected. Past seasons have consistently seen the avant-garde join forces with Ibiza favorites seeing acts that rarely play on the island like Shygirl, Actress, and Romy share the stage with artists whom credit Circoloco as springboards for their career like Seth Troxler, Rampa, Peggy Gou and many more. With shows spanning decades taking place in New York, Miami, London, Milan, Paris, Amsterdam, Rio de Janeiro, and Phuket to name a few, revellers on the White Isle this summer can expect Circoloco’s customary blend of unity, inclusivity, cutting edge sound, and exceptional curation.

Ahead of his forthcoming remix collaboration with D-Funk of 8 Bit Society‘s brand new single Escape on CENTRL Music, Mr. Doris joins us today for an exclusive interview. Mr Doris is something of an anomaly in music. A humbling example of what it takes to truly succeed within the framework of multiple fields. With a steadfast work ethic, an obsessively extensive vinyl library and the willingness to pursue the full extents of his roots (Latin, Soul and Jazz), foundation (Funk/Hip-Hop) and future (Electronic/Dance music) without any restraints. Production wise, Mr Doris has worked with reggae legend Sizzla, Nightmares On Wax, DJ Vadim, Groove Armada and jazz greats The Baker Brothers, whilst his tracks have recently been championed by Red Bull and Seth Troxler in promotional campaigns.Signed to the mighty Jalapeno Records, Bomb Strikes, Midnight Riot and Let There Be House imprints, his many styles of music can be heard from the boombox to the dance floor. Introduce yourself in a few sentences. Hello, Iʼm Mr Doris, Iʼm a DJ and event curator plus music producer and remixer originally from London but have lived most of my life on Ibiza. Is there a story behind your artist name? My family name is Doros and kids at school nicknamed me Doris. I put the “Mr” in front of it. Do you have any other aliases past or present? None I would divulge in public. Early Influences: What first sparked your interest in creating music? I guess it was a natural progression from DJʼing. Wanting to make people dance to my own music as well as others. Name three artists who inspire your sound. Quantic J Dilla Mike Dunn Performance and Passion: What track do you love to hear on a club system? This cheeky little nugget of bass that D-Funk & I made that looks set for release in ʼ24. Tell us about your first performance opportunity and how it fuelled your passion. My first “performance” was playing house parties back in the mid to late 90as then progressed to bigger “free” parties, clubs and bars. One such memorable event (albeit hazy) was in a quarry, on a cliff edge, on the south coast of England. The whole thing was spectacular but when I played the sunrise set, I felt that this was my path. Making people happy in the dance is the best. Studio Insights: What is your favourite piece of equipment in the studio? Iʼm very antiquated and just like playing around with the keys. Iʼm not very tech savvy at the best of times. Whatʼs your thoughts on sampling? Absolutely love it. I come from the hip hop school of thought and without sampling, there would be no hip hop. Industry and Labels: Are there any labels you frequently feature in your sets/playlists? Jalapeno (who we are also signed to) Sonar Kollectiv Razor n Tape Brownswood Heavenly Social Tru Thoughts Heavenly Sweetness List is big! How do you nurture your industry relationships? Treat people nice. Same as any relationship. Itʼs pretty simple. Club and Festival Culture: What excites you about club or festival culture? The (usually) positive energy that can be found when arriving to a location where people are letting go of their troubles by dancing and living in the moment (which sadly is becoming rarer). Share your favourite clubbing memory Far too many to mention and Iʼm old now so difficult to pinpoint! As a clubber perhaps dancing at the early raves in the 90s. As a DJ closing the Space Terrace here on Ibiza. Advice for Emerging Artists: How would you encourage emerging artists wanting to break through? Stick to your musical principles. Itʼs very hard not to follow the trends that are making money but if you follow your heart (and not the spotlight) then youʼll get there in the end. And if you donʼt, thatʼs okay too, at least you know you did it on your terms. Personal Insights: Share something unknown about you. Itʼs not “unknown” but definitely not common knowledge that I used to be an archaeologist. Provide an outlandish rider request (be creative) 2 x left handed CDJs Musical Preferences: Which song do you wish you’d written? I donʼt wish I had written any track! My favourite pieces of music would e different if they were written by me. However I do very much love and admire this: Name three tracks you couldn’t live without Marvin Gaye – Funky Space Reincarnation Soulphiction – B3B4URD1 Mr Doris & D-Funk – Cruise Control Music is… (explain more) Anything and everything. Future Plans: Tell us about your plans for 2024. DJ gigs all over the place from Europe to central and south America as well as Australia and NZ. Usual Ibiza craziness including my Pacha residency. But in general actually taking my foot off the touring pedal as just started working on my first solo album and wanting to spend more time with my wife and son.
