Sunnery James: "You can’t focus on the big songs because every DJ is going to play the same shit."

Here's an excerpt from an interview of Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano by YourEDM: ​

"To be honest if I were to listen to the (Beatport) top ten, there’s maybe only one song I like. If you go into the top 2000, then I like track 1542.” “For us, that could be number one”, Ryan threw in. Then Sunnery continued, saying: “You can’t focus on the big songs because every DJ is going to play the same shit. Then the whole perception becomes ‘oh, we already know what this DJ is going to play’. The people have to be surprised.” It is not an easy way though, Ryan says: “It takes time, you have to find those songs. But when you play that track, and everybody goes nuts, the feeling you get is just amazing.” ​

​

​By straying from the obvious path and working hard to dig deeper to find great tracks that work, is the way to go to stand apart from the rest.

Simon Patterson - Thump (Simon Patterson 2013 Remix)

Simon Patterson's 2013 remix of Thump is so far my favourite trance track of the year thanks to its mind-blowingly beautiful buildup that gives way to an all too danceable drop. The track is out today on Beatport, listen to it here:
