Introducing Sean Declase... The voice from "Rest of You" on EP006!!

For the launch of East Project Friends - Vol 2 Part 1, we thought we would catch up with some of the artists featured on the release and chuck at them 3 quick fire questions, so you could begin to get into the minds of these talented individuals...

Quickest to respond was our man from down under, the vocally talented SEAN DECLASE, who features on "Rest of You"...  Check it!!

Please introduce yourself?

My name is Sean Declase from Melbourne, Australia. Vocalist & Songwriter for Music All Stars Publishing.

Lover of music that brings the goosebumps or breaks your neck!

Describe your release in 5 words?

I immediately fell in love with this beat when Hitmeister D and Tremonde sent it over. I just pumped the volume and danced around to it on repeat and let the melody and lyrics flow.

I had the idea for the chorus “Rest Of You” locked down but I also wanted to add a full adlib track cause I was digging it so much. The boys took the adlibs, cut them up and created something funky!

When I hear this I vision: Slurpees, Summertime and Fluro Colours!

3 - Tells us something about yourself that nobody else will know…

Something about me that nobody else may know is when I was 17 my Mum sent me to live with my Uncle and Aunty after I had some trouble in the home town where I was born and raised. 

I remember pulling up in a cab and meeting my cousins Carlton and Hilary at the door, I spent the next 6 years living at their house. I still get postcards from my Aunt Viv sometimes.

The Wonderful FREE World of Soundcloud - June 2015!

We know we are a week late, but here is our round up of some of the best FREE music we have found on Soundcloud in June...  There  are some real  bangers!!

Check them out!

East Project Podcast... Angelo M!

Angelos Moutsai grew up in Patras, Greece. He started his journey in the music industry aged just 16 and plies his trade in NuDisco,  Deep and Tech House...  We've been loving his productions and thought we pursuade him to put a mix together for the East Project Podacst series...

Welcome to Angelo M. !!

Angelo, tell us what you are up to at the moment?

For the time being, I'm fully committed to producing with "DJing" coming secondary. Currently, I'm working on new tracks alongside international artists and, more releases are yet to come this summer.

What’s the music scene over in Greece like and anyone who we should be keeping our eyes out for?

Greek music industry is very vibrant. Indeed, throughout the last few years, we have received tremendous support which, by extension, makes us confident as for our future music endeavours. However, there are few whom, in my opinion, have made a difference in House music (Deep & Tech)

If you could pick one producer to work with who would it be and why?

It would be a great pleasure, and indeed honor, to cooperate with artists such as Purple Disco Machine, Robosonic, Volkoder , Olivier Giacomotto, German Brigante and Sonic Future, provided that they have excelled in the music which I'm mostly concerned and where I see my future in.

Your big 3 tracks of the moment?

Some of my best-known tracks are the following:

1 - Angelo M. & Vanilla Mike - Something in Me (Beachside Records)

2 - Angelo M. & Highjacks - First Touch (Invisible Love) [Upcoming release this summer]

3 - Monrabeatz & Angelo M. - Got Your Money (Dear Deer Records)

You have a EP coming up on East Project shortly with HighJacks, tell us about that and what we can expect from it?

This Duo is on FIRE! ..I enjoy working with Highjacks given their professionalism and true dedication. Our upcoming EP, which will be released this summer by East Project, will include 2 original tracks and 2 hot remixes. I'm more than certain that our audience will support us once again"

Guilty pleasure track?

"Label Spotlight" featuring Fresh II Death!

We respect lots of  different record labels and this is definitely one of them...  If you don't know already, you need to find out!!  Fresh II Death records are well worth your attention.   Find out more in our interview below...

What was the first release on  Fresh II Death?

Our first release was by Anton Ishutin and was featured in Beatport's Top 10 tracks of the week way back in April 2013. We had some great support from some of our producer friends who were more than happy with getting involved in remix duties. Anton is from Russia and has gone on to make a great name for himself. As have some of the other remix artists from the release, namely Will Berridge who's signed to some really great labels and is featuring a lot in Mixmag, under the name Will & Held.

What's the ethos behind the label? Do you have firm targets in terms of what you want to achieve with it?

I'd had a couple of tracks of mine in the charts and I started getting quite a lot of attention overseas. Before I knew it I was getting loads of music sent to me to the point where I felt like I should be doing something with this. I'd always dreamed of running a label and so it just felt like the right time to make a start. The main ethos behind the label has always been pretty simple really. Regardless of the genre. "Would I play this?" I definitely regard myself as a "dj deck hog" as it’s really hard work getting me off them once I’ve started. I've been known to go on a bit of a tangent when playing so I could never define myself to just one style.

Our main target for the moment is to make the transition from digital to wax. With some showcases coming up in the near future, we're hoping to feature more of our artists live in the flesh!

What's your view on the current music scene? What do you like and what do you dislike?

I’ve seen a lot of genres come and go but its always the same, the music is good until it gets too popular and then the market gets overloaded with the same sound and over saturated to the point where it just fizzles out. It's the same with the clubbing scene. The cool kids are around for the new sound but as soon everyone hears about it, it starts attracting the wrong sorts. I've never really been one for following trends, I just like to do my own thing, get my head down and stomp my back out.

If you could sign any artist, who would it be?

I’ve been into DJing for about 15 years and ever since I started playing house music, I think the most tracks that I’ve bought and played by a single artist has got to be Hector Couto. So, he would definitely be on my hit list to sign.

Any advice for someone hoping to get a release on Fresh II Death ?

Yes, send me your demos. FreshIIDeath@live.com

I listen to them all, eventually! Ha. It’s a really nice feeling when you sign an artist who has been putting their heart and soul into their work. I remember how it felt when my tracks were first getting signed so it's great to be able to pass that on.

Finally… Guilty Pleasure track?
