Wasamix: Hello Guy J, thanks for sitting down and speaking with us. I really like your remixes for Bent and for Jori Hulkkonen. They are doing quite well in the charts. And then, there’s your LP “Esperanza” and your many gigs around the world, it looks like a Happy New Year is starting for you! So what will be coming next for you?
Guy J: Next is my second album, this is my main project right now, did also remixes for Turbo Records, Faith Records, Sahar z & Guy Manzur and for Henry Saiz and working on production for more gigs to come.
Wasamix: You are spinning all over Europe at this moment. Is this the beginning of a worldwide tour?
Guy J: It’s not a tour for special reason, but I believe soon as I finish the album I will make a tour of it.
Wasamix: Back to your LP: can you talk to us about your influences during its creation? The first track is a real surprise, as is the title track. There is something progressive about them. Would you consider your music to be “experimental” ?
Guy J: I have inspirations but during my album work I put inspirations aside and give it all from inside. An album is a very personal thing I think, people deserve to hear the artist mind on his purest side.
Wasamix: I think your remix for Bent is awesome. You’ve decided to keep the lush sweetness of the original song, which is a bit untypical of you. The result -on an emotional level – works out wonderfully. In the case of this remix, is it the singer’s voice that determined this direction?
Guy J: The Bent track is amazing by itself i didn’t try to make it better in anyway, just to make it playable, the singer’s voice, the piano sound, all beauty.
Wasamix: Can you tell us more about the monthly chart on your Myspace blog? Is that your playlist, or a chart reflecting sales/airplay?
Guy J: Its my play list each track I put there I play, tracks I love.
Wasamix: As we know, dance music charts and playlists evolve very quickly. Would you give us – as an exclusive for Wasamix.com – your very latest Top 5 of tracks that drive your fans crazy on the dance floors?
Guy J:
1. Guy J – Seven
2. Space Manoeuvres – Stage one (Guy J Remix)
3. Sahar Z & Guy Mantzur – Sneaky Monkey (Guy J Remix)
4. Guy Gerber – The Hollywood in You
5. 16 Bit Lolitas – Personal Space
Wasamix: Thanks! So, of all the music and networking sites available, is Myspace the best place to follow you?
Guy J: I also have my Facebook fan page which is well update, both are good
Wasamix: many thanks Guy J, all the best for 2010…
