Gareth Emery Stereosonic side show announced

“So many things! The amazing Aussie crowds, the week off between shows in such an amazing country, but most of all our Electric For Life live broadcast from Sydney.”

“The fans. They’re open minded but appreciate the big records from the past. I have so much time for the Aussies.”

“Too many to list. Guys like Eric Prydz, Kaskade and Avicii are always interesting to me because they make very melodic music in a different style, but these days I try not to focus on the music of others too much and just do what comes naturally to me.”

“Naturally yes. A remix begins with someone else’s parts, so that is always the starting point. Whereas a track of my own could start anywhere – a beautiful vocal, riff, chords, a groove, there’s no real set starting point.”

“I have a mix album due this year, Electric For Life 2015, then my new artist albums drops around March (but the first single should be out quite soon). I worked on it all this year, it’s the follow up to Drive and I’m pretty stoked for it.”

“Ashley Walbridge, Alex Sonata, Luke Bond and Lanos”

“Not really. Some places have my favourite crowds, others have my favourite cities or cuisines… there’s always something that one place does the best, so I just try and enjoy it as much as possible.”

It depends. At a major festival there are a lot of moving parts, and a lot of questions in your head… is the production going right, what track should I play next – you’re very focussed on doing a good job, but there’s always a moment towards the end when you suddenly realise where you are, the epicness of the moment takes over and you’re like “Wow, is this really my job? How fucking cool”.

“It’s a beautiful genre of music which I love because of it’s variety and variation.”
