It\u2019s The Answer To Everything!”"},"content":{"rendered":"
<\/a><\/p>\n You know superstar DJs are a total pain to schedule interviews with – they have the most crazy schedules ever and have to re-schedule sometimes at the drop of a hat. Honestly I thought this little chat with Fedde Le Grand<\/strong> would never happen as he's a very busy man on the move all over the world. I was lucky enough to finally get a few minutes with in-demand DJ whilst he was poolside in Miami for a The Winter Music Conference<\/strong>. <\/p>\n What sets Fedde Le Grand<\/strong> apart from other DJs for me is his strong ear for musicality and having garnered a few massive internatioanal hits like "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit"<\/strong> and "The Creeps"<\/strong>, I have I have always been a little curious about what his world is like. So what did we chat about? Mostly about his busy schedule and all, but if you're curious about what life is like for the Dutch super spinster, then you'll like this interview. <\/p>\n Fedde has also just finished a new Toolroom Knights<\/strong> compilation CD too which is available now and I really love his hot new track "Back & Forth"<\/strong> which features the cooltastic Mr. V<\/strong> on vocals which you can check out right now on his MySpace<\/strong><\/a> too.<\/p>\n Looking for a new weekend soundtrack? Then download the new "Toolroom Knights"<\/strong> compilation CD as mixed by Fedde Le Grand<\/strong> right now on <\/a><\/p>\n EQ: Hello Fedde – How are you today sir? Where have I caught up with you in the world today?<\/span><\/strong> Wow Miami – you lucky ducky\u2026<\/strong><\/span> <\/p>\n So tell me about your new Toolroom Knights Compilation CD coming out – How was the process of putting together this compilation and what is your favourite moment when compiling the music for it\u2026 <\/strong><\/span>
Fedde Le Grand<\/strong>: I\u2019m very well thanks, I\u2019m sitting by the pool in my hotel in Miami chilling out before going down to Cameo, which is where I\u2019m doing my Fedde Le Grand<\/strong> Takeover party tonight.\n<\/p>\n
\n[Laughs] It\u2019s hot, sunny, the weather is fantastic, I\u2019ve had a great time here already and it\u2019s only going to get better. I\u2019m going to be joined by Martin Solveig<\/strong>, Mark Mendes <\/strong>and Bad Boy Bill <\/strong>tonight so it\u2019s going to be a rocking party, I can\u2019t wait. Lots of work to do beforehand though, I\u2019ll be leaving here shortly to go down there and check the d\u00e9cor and do a sound check.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\nWe were talking about it for quite some time, but I could never find the time to do it, so when we finally could, I was super happy. I love the process of selecting the perfect tracks, and then waiting to get clearance for them. You always have to wait and see which ones might be rejected, so my favorite moment is when I know the tracks have been approved, and then getting into the right vibe so I can start doing the mix – I love that!\n<\/p>\n
