Trance Music Production With DJ ADI
Today I interviewed DJ ADI and got to hear his thoughts on trance music production. You get to hear his thoughts on the trance scene and his advice for trance producers in 2015.
Josh:
Tell me a bit about yourself. How long have you been producing music? And are you working as a DJ full time or on the side?
DJ ADI:
I live in India. New Delhi. I am into facility management by profession…but I am also into dj & production since 2009….as a freelancer.
Josh:
What got you started producing trance?
DJ ADI:
I was surfing youtube…wayback in 2004-2005….saw TIESTO’s video…it was called “power mix”…after watching and listning to the video…i was completely mesmerized by the sound and the melody..that was the moment which inspired me to get into trance production.
Josh:
What do you like most about the trance genre, and which artists influence your music the most?
DJ ADI:
I love the sweeping pads…with sweet and beautiful melodies…it instantly gives u a happy feeling…..plus the beats makes ur tap ur foot and move ur body. I am highly influenced by Tiesto & Armin.
Josh:
What are your favorite trance songs of 2014?
DJ ADI:
EIFORYA by Armin, ADAGIO FOR STRINGS-remixed by Mark Sixma, TOMORROW PEOPLE by Omnia
Josh:
Where do you see the trance genre going in 2015? What changes do want to see?
DJ ADI:
Well…frankly speaking….i am old skool when it comes to trance…coz i love armin and Tiesto. Tomorrowland and edm music is good…it gels well with trance and house ……but…what i personally feel is…the original trance is now getting altered by the fusion of house and other genres.
I want the original trance to be the way it is…..although i personally love the way Dash Berlin has made tracks……his tracks are far more acceptable to me (as far as changes in the trance genre) is concerned.
Josh:
What software or hardware do you use when producing trance music?
DJ ADI:
Way back in my college days one of my friend introuced to FL STUDIO 4.
I used it to make a small beat..rather drum loop…and ever since i am hooked to it.
As a matter of fact…..i love it so much..that i have been using it even now.I had been to Dubai for my new year bach…bought fl studio 11 (signature bundle) from Dubi mall….DJ CORNER.
Image Line people deliver what they say…it is simply the fastest way from ur brain to the computer.
Josh:
What advice would you give to new trance producers?
DJ ADI:
My advice would be…..its good to innovate and evolve the genre…….but having said that….please keep the fundamentals unaltered.
For me the fundamentals are good melody, sweeping pads, good kick….nice synths…
For djing i use Pioneer’s DDJ WEGO2 ergonomic controller along with virtual dj
i love digital djing…
Josh:
