Interview
7 Questions With Lange About We Are Lucky
People (Remixed)
After releasing his 3rd studio album “We Are Lucky People” late last year, one of trance music's most prolific artists, Lange, has released “We Are Lucky People (Remixed)”. The original album saw massive success, debuting within the Top 15 on the iTunes Dance charts in North America and saw each of the 9 single releases reach the Top 10 on the Beatport Trance Top 100 chart; ‘Remixed' seriously emulate, including mixes from some of the finest names in Trance and Progressive.
Hello Stuart!! Welcome
back to think IN electronic.
Last we spoke to you was when We Are Lucky People was released.
How are you doing and what have you been up to.
I'm very well thanks.
Recently I've been pretty busy with moving house and setting up the new studio!
I should have that sorted when I get back this week from the USA. Finishing off
a new vocal single and then it's time to prep for the 200th episode
of my Intercity radio show on Nov 26th. I'm going to be taking over Afterhours FM for
a full 24 hours with Guests including Paul Van Dyk, Markus Schulz, Ferry
Corsten, paul Oakenfold, John O'Callaghan, Andy Moor, Andrew Rayel & more!
1 year later listening back to We Are Lucky People are you still
happy with it, if you could change anything about the album now what would
it be?
Yes, I've always been
really pleased with WALP and wouldn't change it. It's pretty rare for me to be
that content with my own music!
WALP remixed album is about to be released how did you decide on
the remixers as well as on which remixes to put on the album?
I wanted to select
remixers from across the whole spectrum of Trance so there's the more
progressive touches of Protoculture through to more driving takes by Alex Morph
and uplifting mixes from John O' Callaghan and James Dymond. In some cases I
had ideas on who might be right for a track, but in some cases the remixer's
chose the track they thought they could do something with.
The album includes remixes from some of trance’s best producers
what 3 words would you use to describe it?
Epic Melodic Trance
If a person doesn’t have enough money to buy the album but just
enough to buy 3 tracks of the album, which 3 remixes would you say they
have to get and why.
That's tough! Really I
want them to hear the whole non-stop mix as it flows really well telling the
whole story, but if you're insisting I pick 3....
Violin's Revenge
(James Dymond Remix)
Our Brief Time In The
Sun (Protoculture Remix)
Imagineer (Alex Morph
Remix)
Every remix of the album is special in its own way so let’s have
some fun. What’s the first thought that comes to mind when you hear
Our Brief
Time In The Sun (Protoculture Remix) – Beautiful textures in this
Crossroads
(with Stine Grove) (Kris O'Neil & Kiholm Remix) - Really cool mix, love the
driving bassline
Insatiable
(with Betsie Larkin) (Sean Tyas Remix) – Great additional Piano added by Sean
Violin’s
Revenge (with Ilseviolin) (James Dymond Remix) – Keeps it menacing but take it
up a notch – epic remix!
Destination
Anywhere (Johnny Yono Remix) – Darker edged, even bigger trance riff
Fireflies
(with Cate Kanell) (Ronski Speed Remix) – Hands in the air with Ronski's take
on the riff
Superstars
(with Shannon Hurley) (Craig Connelly Remix) – Extra energy and some really
nice arps and layers
Our Brief
Time In The Sun (Anske Remix) – One of my favourite tracks from the original
album – so it features twice on the Remixed album!
A
Different Shade Of Crazy (Refracture Remix) – Cheeky, dark, and
unexpected. Love this breaks remix.
Imagineer
(Alex Morph Remix) – Alex packs in loads of energy into this awesome take on
'Imagineer'
Unfamiliar
Truth (with Hysteria!) (John O'Callaghan Remix) – John manages to juggle Dark
and driving beats with the more sensitive drop. So uplifting.
We Are
Lucky People (4 Strings Album Cut) – Captures the feeling of the original track
so well but gives it a different twist and love the more organic loose groove.
We Are
Lucky People (Reprise) – The final word to wrap it all up!
What or who is the next big thing?
After a couple of
years of EDM bringing Dance to the mainstream, it's time for those who are now
hooked to delve deeper and find what lurks below – the good stuff! A stronger
than ever underground scene is next. Time everyone got more experimental again.
Any last messages for your fans?
Thanks for continuing
to show the support and hope you enjoy the album!
