Exclusive interview: New Dance Music Friday with Deorro
Jul 20, 2018
We proudly present the New Dance Music Friday feature, your weekly update on all newly released dance tracks, brought together on one amazing playlist. Featured this week (among many others): Deorro! He's releasing his new single 'Knockout' together with MAKJ and Quintino today, and talks about the creation of it in this exclusive interview.
Hey, you are releasing your new single 'Knockout‘ together with MAKJ and Quintino today. How did you create this?
"I came up with the idea and sent it over to Quintino and MAKJ. They each came up with their part and it was a perfect fit! I think we each gave it our own sounds to create a real festival banger."
What does this record say about your musical evolution as an artist?
"I feel like as much as my sound has evolved, we took the old sounds and mixed it with some new ones to create some bounce. Getting back to your roots always feels amazing."
The track is featured on Spinnin’s New Dance Music Friday playlist. How important is streaming to you?
"Streaming is very important now. Before it was all about Soundcloud and plays, now everything lives on streaming platforms and it’s the best way to get your art out for everyone to listen."
Which tracks released this week should definitely be added to New Dance Music Friday?
Max Styler - 'Feel It'
RL Grime - 'Pressure'
