It’s basically just a fun track, the original is actually in a completely different direction. He had an album that came out and he’s releasing remixes and I chose this track to do a remix for him. Saeed Younan: Yeah, it’s a project I work with my good friend Worthy. I love that stuff.ĮDM Life: Besides that what sort of tracks or upcoming releases do you have? I noted that you just put up on Soundcloud a new sample of a track you remixed “On the Floor.” Can you talk about both the new track, when is that is released as well as anything else interesting coming up with new releases?
And we’re just going to work on getting the full licensing from the original so we don’t have any issues.ĮDM Life: Definitely remember Jam On It, I have the Twelve Inch. So, yeah, it’s a track I just finished and he’s been hammering it, I actually played it at BPM which you get to hear in the first hour of my set, the live set at BPM. Carl wants to take extra precaution to make sure that we don’t deal with any issues down the line when we release it. I want this track.” We’re trying to get some clearance done for it even though all the parts on the track are played and nothing was sampled except for a couple of vox or vocals. And I gave it to Carl, he absolutely loved it, he smashed it in Vegas and he turned right back at me and said “You know, we’ve got to talk. So I did this track, it’s almost a kind of a take on an old track, break dancing track by Newcleus (Jam On It) but in my version I pretty much played all the parts, the base lines and everything. You have a project working with Carl’s Intec label. Saeed Younan: Oh yeah, that would be awesome.ĮDM Life: Now, also talking about Carl (Cox). So its just one day at a time but that talk was definitely motivational.ĮDM Life: If we’re reading the tea leaves, we’ll see you at Space Ibiza this summer? But if it happens, it’s going to be amazing. It’s still all talk, it’s a lot of logistics behind it so until I get the full confirmation, then I’ll go ahead and disclose it. Saeed Younan: No, nothing is set in stone but we did talk at BPM where he pulled me aside, had a nice little chat and he told me what’s going to happen, what he plans to do and he definitely wants to get me involved. It’s been amazing.ĮDM Life: Do you have anything confirmed yet this year that we can talk about where you’re playing together? This year we just had a nice talk and we’re looking forward to what happens. We played about seven or eight times together last year. And it’s just been a wild ride since then. Then I was asked to do the closing of Haze nightclub the day after Halloween with Carl. I was the only DJ to play the Carl Cox & Friends stage two days in a row, Friday & Saturday. I was also asked if I wanted to play The Carl Cox & Friends Stage at EDC and of course I said yes. Then I was asked if I wanted to do the second, third date. So we did the first date in Vegas, it went really well. We didn’t say much after the show but the next day I sent him a message “Yo, it was amazing playing with you.” And he hit me back right away “hey, I’m going to have a Vegas thing going on, would you be interested in playing with me doing this thing?” And I was like “Yeah, for sure.” And I went ahead and played with Nic (Fancuilli) and Carl and then after the show I guess Carl liked what I played and everything. Saeed Younan: It actually all kicked off kind of in the summer of last year when we played together at Echo Stage… I was like a last minute add-on to the bill.
