INTERVIEW
1. How would you describe your sound?

“We' don't like to describe our sound because we self-define quite Ecletic as producers...we have not a particvoular trademark on our sounds but we like to experiment all we like...from proper old school vibes to most Deep House and Underground...and try to melt everything in one!”

2. Where would you love to play live?

“The place we are dreaming to play one day definitely is Ushuaia on Ibiza. We love the people and we love that beautiful scenography from Arena, as well as their soundsystem. We would also love to play at the legendary New York's Cielo or at the Watergate in Berlin. We hope one day will be the day!”

3. Next Release?

“Our next releases we scheduled for early 2015 are a single on our Imprint "Safe Music" in January and an EP on Riva Starr's label “Snatch! Records” (release date tba) as well as some remixes for Dino Lenny and David Herrero. But we worked hard, so prepare for a surprise in 2015! Follow us on our socials to stay up to date.”

4. How did you learn producing?

"Honestly we learned everything ourselves, simply to take a lot of cues from many masters of this world as "Kenny Dope, Todd Terry, Dennis Ferrer, Maw” and more. We obviously learned many things about software and hardware by watching some video-tutorials. But it doesn’t really matter where and how u made the sounds. What does matter is the final result!"

5. Favorite track at the moment/all time?

"Yeah nice question. Definitely two of our most favorite tracks all time are "Brighter Days (Underground Goodie Mix)” by Cajmere and the legendary song of Marshall Jefferson "Move Your Body" which we reworked in 2011 and which was licensed on Ultra Records with all official reworks that year."

6. Favorite Dj Setup?

"Our favorite DJ setup was and still is the classic Dj setup: Mixer + 2 CDJs, because we love the real contact to the music (that only CDJs or Vinyls can give you). No digital interfaces, no FX Machines. Our sets are simple and the importang thing to us is the selection of tracks and the technique of mixing them. We think that we will never abandon using CDJs or Vinyls."

7. What keeps you going?

"Well, of course our real passion towards this music is one of the most substantial reasons that are keeping us in the business. There are a lot of up’s and down’s but if you’re 100% loving the music, nothing and nobody can stop you!"

The art of music has touched the hearts of human beings around the planet for thousands of years. It's a universal language with the ability to express what can't be expressed through words or thought. It can induce strong emotions, alter our states of consciousness and let us experience reality in a different way. It can draw us into the present moment, where just the music exists - unfolding through time, moment by moment. When we let go and merge into the auditory sensations, it takes us on an inner journey. Using this not to escape, but to fully embrace reality as it is, music can help us release tensions and bring balance to our everyday life. 
Especially dance music allows us to unify with the flow of the music. When we express the energy it releases within us, by just giving ourselves to it and following the spontaneous and authentic movements of our bodies, we can experience a state of connection, peace and joy. Doing this collectively, synchronously moving to the same rhythm and sharing this special experience, we feel a connection that resonates within.

With DIT KLINGT JUT we want to express our love for music and manifest the meaning it can have for all of us. We do this by providing a thoughtfully curated space for artists and labels to share their music, organizing events & live-streams and serving as a platform to share ideas on music and the creative process.

Drawing influence from his love of the early 2000's Deep Tech-House scene and twisting it with todays more familiar feel of Dub, Minimal, Deeper edged Techno, Valpy manipulates sounds into what he feels is right for the darker clubs & dance floors, creating a sound that does not follow suit, bending a few 'rules' along the way...

Using his many Clubbing experiences over the years in the UK, Ibiza, Amsterdam & beyond, Valpy has developed a passion for raw emotion filled techno, often challenging the sub woofers with his bass heavy touch, without busting the bank on the tempo front. A balance of 'good vs evil' can often be witnessed in a Valpy Techno piece

Fascinated with pitch & bass, Valpy has moulded and evolved his sound into what he produces today, recently gaining support from Pig & Dan, Ramiro Lopez, Dubspeeka & Matt Minimal, who also contribute to the style & development of his tracks, along with Alan Fitzpatrick, Adam Beyer, Joseph Capriati & Carlo Lio

Having had 2 EP's released on dubspeekas Skeleton Label and also with Seva Records, Plunk, Lethal Script & Berberris in 2014 alone, Valpy's sound has now been recognised by fast up and coming label Gain Records, (supported by the likes of Richie Hawtin) with a Solo Artist Album due for release in April 2015. There are also further releases on Skeleton and new outfit Kitchen Smoke pencilled in over the next couple of months too

To close, Valpy aims to produce music he wants to hear on the same dance floors that he frequented over the years, experimenting along the way to produce his own unique blend, with the odd twist & turn along the way...
