BeatLounge Presents: “The Demon Diaries” by Parov Stelar (June 15)
BeatLounge Presents: “The Demon Diaries” by Parov Stelar (Marcus Fuereder and team) on air next June 15th!
In this case, a double album, with the sound that characterizes them and more! “The Demon Diaries” was recently released and we got an exclusive interview with Marcus and in addition, we’ll be presenting the album in a 60′ Special Edition presented and mixed by Lewait.
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
1) Congrats for this new and amazing album! tell us about “The Demon Diaries“
Well, in fact it’s a journey … and it reflects my past two years.
2) “The Demon Diaries” is a double album. Parov Stelar is a prolific project! when did the production process start?
I never stop producing music. I don´t know why, but it´s like an addiction. After finishing “The Princess” I took 2 months off and then started producing “Demon Diaries”.
3) Lots of people say that you are kind of the ElectroSwing father, how do you feel about it?
I feel honored of course, but it´s also a bit dangerous to be associated with a typical sound. On the one hand it´s a door opener … on the other it can be a golden cage ;-)
4) Are you planning a tour?
To be honest, I’ve been constantly touring for the past 10 years. The live business is very important for Parov Stelar.
5) What do you think about the dance scene in Europe coompared to the USA one?
I don´t know any specific differences, but I think the superstar DJ’s are payed much better than in Europe ;-)
6) Have you ever played in Latinamerica?
Well, what we did was a 2 weeks tour through Mexico in 2006.
7) We have Parov Stelar Band, Parov Stelar’s Trio, Parov + Max The Sax Live, so… which is your favorite format?
It´s definitely the full band, cause I love all these instruments on stage. The show is a mixture of watching and listening … 90 minutes full of energy!
8) From your first demo till now, are there any changes in the way you see your music?
Not really. Music is my passion. Of course, the music business went through a massive change, but not music itself.
9) Is there any place where you’d want to have a show and haven’t played at yet?
We should play a live session at the Grammy’s next year ;-))))
10) BeatLounge Radio listeners love your music, any message for them?
I have to say thank you to all our old and new fans. I would be nothing without you!!!

INTERVIEW
01. Tell us a bit about MAYD: where are you from, what you do and how long have you been in the Music Industry?
I’m from Valladolid, Spain. I have been making music for a little while now, but I’ve been in the music industry for about six years and playing in local and national clubs.
02. How do you see the electronic music scene today, as opposed to the one year ago or even a decade ago?
I think that electronic music scene is in one of its best moments. Now, all kinds of music have a huge amount of followers and the music is really awesome. Even, like a DJ, you can be free to play any kind of electronic music in a session and people will support you!
03. What’s it like being an electronic music producer in Spain? Pros and cons?
Being a music producer in Spain is hard because the industry is not so big. Most of the DJs are practically unknown for the vast majority of people. Pros: You can always improve your way. Cons: Things that I’ve already said and the lack of electronic music culture.
04. Do you have any artists with whom you would like to work with and why?
Yes of course! There are a lot of artists I would like to collaborate with such as Dzeko & Torres, Stadiumx, Paris Blohm, Lush & Simon. I really like their music.
05. Do you have any selection process/method when selecting tracks for your live gigs? And if so, how does it work?
I actually don’t. I always select the music I feel I can work better with and most important, I select music that I love.
06. Tell us about your upcoming live dates, if any?
We are working on some possible upcoming dates.
07. Vinyl, cassette, CD’s…and now MP3’s. Every few years the industry gives us a new format, but which one is your favorite, and why?
MP3’s. Surely, I grew up recording hundreds of CD’s and it was too boring. Now, you can have thousands of tracks on a USB. It’s easier, and it’s better for the audience.
08. What’s coming up for MAYD, any upcoming surprises that you’d like to share with us?
Yeah, I have some tracks finished, but I can’t tell you anything! You will have to wait and see!
09. Three words that describe MAYD?
Ambitious, reserved and demanding.
10. Any message that you’d like to leave for our audience?
Stay tuned! Big things coming!
