While putting the final touches on his second album coming out early 2011, Guy J took a moment to reflect on the past year for his Artist Feature airing Tuesday Night on Sweat Lodge Radio.
What would you like our listeners to know about your new album coming out early 2011?
The new album will come out on Bedrcok Records. It's the same label as I have released my first album and most of my singles over the past few years. I am very happy with the results and improvement from 'Esperanza' my first album, I think you will be able to hear a more mature album, which also reflects what I have experienced on the road since the first debut. It will be a double sided album. The first CD is more chill with different styles of music I wanted to put out, and the second CD will be the 'clubby' one. The album features my first collaboration with a singer, Miriam, on three tracks. I was working on and trying lots of different stuff from what I'm used to do in terms of sound and style.
What's your favorite toy in the studio these days?
My favorite toy in the studio these days, and I would say actually for years, is my Virus TI, can't do a thing without it. I have it since I was working on my first album and still can't get enough of it. I tried some other soft wares and synths, but the Virus stay in my top tools.
What were some meomerable moments from your shows in 2010?
I had more than a few moments I can reflect on, but I would say Fabric a few weeks back, even though I played the same gig last year warming up for John Digweed, was again a special date. It is more of a challenge for me on the DJ side as well, to play a warm up always seems to me much harder than to be the main act, and to do it for big act like John Digweed, I really need to select the right my music for that night.
What will you be doing NYE?
NYE I will play in Liverpool for "Freeze" at The Williamson Tunnels, it's an event I've played before and waiting to go back ever since.
What are your passions besides music?
Movies, Art, Photography which I have recently started to study, and the reaction of others to music.
Artist of the Week: Guy J will air Tuesday December 28th at 18:00, with repeats Wednesday at 12:00, and Saturday at 10:00.
