DJ Buck (Leaf Recordings, www.djbuck.net)

"I have a record collection and a personality disorder, so I'm a DJ ...!"

Touching from New York to Beijing to Jakarta, the Treasury and Ministry of Sound at Fabric and PS1, DJ Buck takes his 20 years in music well defined. By spreading the message: "Something old, something new, something I, something you," is indicative that anyone can find their place in music. "Come one, come all, come and dance till you drop!"

In November last year Above & Beyond launched a competition offering fans the chance to create the next OceanLab music video for "On A Good Day". Jono, Tony & Paavo were overwhelmed with the quality and creativity of the entries but have finally chosen a well deserved winner.

Congratulations to Ashleigh Tritton from Vancouver BC, Canada!

Above & Beyond - 'Music Is A Passion, It's Fine To Get Passionate About It!'

 

In the wake of the release of their recent compilation: Anjunabeats Volume 5 (the fifth in a series of popular compilations from the leading trance label), Above & Beyond discuss the crafting of the album, future Above & Beyond releases, and what would happen if Tiesto played back to back with Tim Westwood..

Christopher Lawrence - "You're Only As Good As Your Last Party"

Hi Christopher, and thank you for taking the time to speak to us! For those unaware of who you are, sum yourself up in no more than 10 words.

I am a DJ and producer from the US.

You’re clearly an extremely busy man, so just to make us all feel jealous, right after doing this interview what will you be doing and where will you be going?

After I finish this interview I will be going back in the studio to go through music for this weekend’s events. Coming up this month are dates in Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Bombay and a tour of China. That’s before I head over to Europe and the UK for the Antiworld Festival, Creamfields in Poland, Ibiza and Dance Valley the first of July.

What tune has defined this year in hard dance for you?
The tune that never fails to be the best tune of the night every weekend is "Depth Charge" by BK and Kutski. Fabulous, contagious riff to this dark squelchy tune. So many people have asked me the name of this when Ive played it so it definitely does the job and is my defining tune of the year.
