Quirky Madeon Interview by Pop Justice

/

If you like Madeon then you will really enjoy this interview. ​

 "I was told when I started doing my choppy disco style that there was no market for it because it couldn’t exist in the club world and wasn’t pop enough to exist in the pop charts. I was told there was no market, but I kept doing it because I really loved it and because I wanted to work in music somewhere and I thought it would be useful somehow in the long run, even if I ended up doing something less exciting than what I wanted to do. I started to live with the idea that it wouldn’t catch on, then it started to catch on and now people want a piece of it.​.."

Madeon is so articulate that I find it hard to believe that he's only 18 years old and actually taught himself English. Click here to read the entire interview. ​

Annie Mac Interview (Clash)

/

I learned a lot​ from this interview of Annie Mac by Clash.

..."since dance music has got so big now, it’s quite ironic that the Calvin Harris ‘Spectrum’ remix is what got Florence to number 1, not the original. So remixes are crucial now to artists, and they can be what propel artists to fame, rather than just being a tool for DJs. But when you look at the top 40 or something, pop music is dance music now."​

Read about what she thinks of David Guetta, ​Skream and Benga's diverse live sets, and Britain's role in the worldwide EDM boom.

Nero - Won't You (Be There) - Baauer Remix (Updated: Bonus Remix by Club Cheval)

/

Found this first from Electrojams​:

This remix probably came about when Baauer opened for Nero in Europe last month. ​

Update: Soon after posting the Baauer remix I visited the MTA Records Soundcloud and found this absolute gem. It's the same Nero track but this time it's remixed by Club Cheval:​

Music is entirely a subjective experience but when I compare both of these tracks I think the Club Cheval remix wins hands down. It's also probably the best remix I've heard in quite a while.
