Michael Brun: "I really think the melodic stuff is coming back." (Interview preview)

Michael is a 21 year old DJ/Producer originally from Haiti and over the past year he garnered a lot of attention thanks to his beautifully constructed remixes and originals. He will be making his Montreal debut this Saturday at the New City Gas and he cannot wait to make a big impression. I have had the chance to interview this young up and coming artist which you will be able to read in full tomorrow. But for now, read on as Michael talks about his thoughts on where the big room sound will be headed in 2014 in this interview excerpt:


EDM Canada: Where's the big room sound heading in 2014?

Michael Brun: I think it's going to go back to more melodic stuff again. I really do. It seems over the last 2 years it's been all about the hardstyle, really clubby, raging music. Maybe the next big sound will come from deep house or nu-disco, more melodic stuff. It seems that everyone is trying to get back to something... They're looking back and trying to incorporate some stuff from the past to modern music. I really think the melodic stuff is coming back.


Interesting perspective and one I do agree with. Dirty South recently tweeted that you'll hear no big drops in his upcoming album so 2014 may be more about the melody than the heavy drops that have become the standard in last year's festival season. The year is young and it will be interesting to see how the sound evolves over the next 12 months.
