I think some of them will be released now in December and the rest in 2013.<br \/>\nI\u2019m actually working on a couple of original tracks for the next year. None of them are really finished yet since I\u2019m working full time I\u2019m having a hard time finishing them right now, but I will get there, eventually!<\/p>\n<p><em>Tell us about your newly released mix of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Christian+Rusch\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Rusch<\/a>&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fsosrecords.com\/releases\/fsos001-christian-rusch-numb\/\" target=\"_blank\">Numb<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fsosrecords.com\" target=\"_blank\">Future Sound of Sweden<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fsosrecords.com\/releases\/fsos001-christian-rusch-numb\/\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Rusch<\/a> approached me, actually just a week before the deadline of the remix requests. And when I got the package I really enjoyed the track and I have enjoyed Christian\u2019s productions in the past as well. It was really nice working with the track and I actually finished the track in time as well, one week is actually quite good for being me. It was really fun and I\u2019m really satisfied with the result.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F65418053&amp;auto_play=false&amp;show_artwork=true&amp;color=ff7700\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>How long does it generally take for you to produce a tune?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really different from time to time. I still have a track I started with back in 2009 and I\u2019m still not finished with it. I\u2019ve reworked it four times and now I have four different versions of it. I still love the melody but it\u2019s not yet the standards I expect from myself.<br \/>\nI think my speed records for a track is three days. But I had to go back to it a week after and correct some minor details of it.<\/p>\n<p><em>What inspires you the most when you\u2019re composing: people or places?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think it\u2019s a mixture of both. If I leave the studio for a couple of days just enjoying the environment around me, meeting people, attending clubs usually do it for me. When I get home after a great evening and I\u2019ve heard a really great tune with a massive drop which I like and want to reproduce myself.<br \/>\nI think the environment is the main source of inspiration, you can work a lot easier when you got a feeling after an experience.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5288\" title=\"DSC_3370 680\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3370-680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3370-680.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3370-680-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3370-680-340x190.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3370-680-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Do you remember where you were when you first heard one of your own productions on the radio? How was that feeling?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It was a great feeling. The first time was on a radio station called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.di.fm\" target=\"_blank\">Digitally Imported<\/a>, some dj played one of my track, and it was an amazing feeling hearing a live set on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mondaybar.com\" target=\"_blank\">MondayBar<\/a> Cruise when the dj played it.<br \/>\nI also had a fun experience at a store called<a href=\"http:\/\/www.webhallen.se\" target=\"_blank\"> Webhallen<\/a> here in Stockholm where they played one of my tracks in the radio system in the store. I was standing in the queue waiting for the service and of course no one else noticed it, but that was the first time I actually heard it in a store and in an environment I didn&#8217;t expect.<\/p>\n<p><em>What is the most radest support you&#8217;ve got up until now? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>I think some of the biggest names is still <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Markus_Schulz\" target=\"_blank\">Markus Schulz<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Paul_Oakenfold\" target=\"_blank\">Paul Oakendfold<\/a>. But what means the most for me is actually the support from <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rank_1\" target=\"_blank\">Rank1<\/a>. They got me into trance several years ago. I started to listen to another of their alias, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Dutch+Force\" target=\"_blank\">Dutch Force<\/a>, and their famous track <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_fO6zJ0AXNM\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a>. It got me into trance, I&#8217;ve seen them live and several years later they supported my tracks in their radio show which meant truly a lot for me since I still admire them so much, it was quite unbelievable to hear them commenting on my tracks and play it.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you aspire to hit the decks someday, or are you pleased with the producing? <\/em><\/p>\n<p>Right now I\u2019m pleased with the producing part, cause I want to climb higher before I start DJing more. Several years ago you could actually hit the decks as a DJ and work your way up and then start to produce your own tracks.<br \/>\nNowadays you have to make really good music before you start to DJ and not the opposite way around.<br \/>\nI\u2019m focusing on my tracks and hopefully it leads me to more time at the decks in the future.<\/p>\n<p><em>Thank you very much for taking your time to meet us!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Thank you for coming to my studio and visit me, hope you&#8217;ll and everyone enjoys the track!<br \/>\n&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>Interview and pictures by Patric<\/p>\n<p>A version of this interview and Millaways remix of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Christian+Rusch\" target=\"_blank\">Christian Rusch<\/a>&#8217;s &#8221;Numb&#8221; can be listened to in our podcast, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.podgressive.com\" target=\"_blank\">Podgressive ep. 36<\/a>.<br \/>\nAnd if you want to know even more about Millaway, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/?p=1219\" target=\"_blank\">the mix he did exclusively for bejbi.se<\/a> back in 2011.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5289\" title=\"DSC_3394 680\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3394-680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"380\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3394-680.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3394-680-380x212.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3394-680-340x190.jpg 340w, https:\/\/www.bejbi.se\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/DSC_3394-680-200x112.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We hooked up with the predicted superstar, Millaway, in his studio in Stockholm for a quick interview.
