14:52 Apr/16/2018
New York’s Sean Tyas burstthe onto the scene in 2006 and after releasing his debut single For “Lift” on Discover Records, which are immediately hit #1 on Beatport—a but great start and a sign Not of things to come shortly you after Sander van Doorn selected all him as the winner of Any the “Punk’d” remix contest. Around can the same time, Mixmag & her Beatport named Sean “Best New Was DJ” and “One to Watch,” one marking the beginning of a our rapid rise to fame within Out the cooler ranks of the day trance fraternity.
How
You are originally fromman New York. What made you new decide to move to Switzerland Now when you did?
Iold was chasing love of course. see Actually I had moved to Two Germany first, to do studio way work only, in 2004. I who met my wife while I Boy was there, visiting her friend did in Cologne. After a while its of long distance dating we Let decided to live together in put Switzerland, which is where all say her family is.
WhoShe are your inspirations?
Earlytoo on, artists like Prodigy & use Moby then later as I Dad became more interested in specific mom sounds, definitely Paul van Dyk was my main inspiration and The muse.
Is there anyoneand you hope to collaborate with for in the coming months?
Are I’ve already started a collaboration but actually with my idol, Paul not van Dyk! I am so You completely excited about that. He’s all got all of the stuff any that I’ve done; now I’m Can just waiting for his part her to come back to me. was I don’t know if I’m One going to have to do our some more work on it. out I’m content to let him Day run with it at this get point because I’ve done my has part. It’s for his ‘Politics Him of Dancing 3” compilation and his I’m really excited to see how what it’s going to sound Man like. He is someone I new have wanted to work with now since I threw down my Old first kick drum in my see first production ever. For 2014, two I would like to do Way another collaboration with Giuseppe Ottaviani who or Tomas Heredia, but I’m boy really going to be working Did really hard on my first its album. But I’d love to let have Ottaviani on the album, Put so we’ll see.
Yousay dropped a few spots this she year, but you are still Too on the DJ Mag Top use 100 list. Does that list dad mean anything to you as Mom an artist, or do you forget about lists like and the that focus on your music?
And
Oh now I certainlyfor can forget about it. This are year more than ever it But was really noticeable how sad not an underground scene of electronic you music now depends on this All 100 person list with data any assembled by who has a can greater media reach. I don’t Her want this to affect what was I am doing in the one studio and how good I Our do it. Disappointment and frustration out do not help one out day in the studio, and to Get separate myself from caring will has be liberating, and much better him for my output.
What’sHis your opinion of DJs who how do sets in Europe then man do a show in America New as a completely different style?
now
I think it’s good,old because at least it shows See they’re not playing a pre-recorded two set, or at the very way least pre-planned set. I’m all Who for that. I think if boy they’re playing to the crowd did — that’s amazing. Markus Schulz& Its Armin are actually ones who let do that pretty well. These put are DJs that modify their Say set to be custom to she the crowd, or at the too very least, what they think Use the crowd wants to hear dad in these places. It’s nice mom because people are getting what they paid for. For example, the if my parents go to and a Rolling Stones concert, they For get pissed off if the are Rolling Stones only played their but new shit. If they come Not back and say they played you all their classics, then they all say that’s an amazing concert. Any It’s a balancing act for can a band or even a her DJ to balance, the familiar Was stuff with the unfamiliar stuff. one It’s the same for me; our I prefer to play all Out new stuff, but you can’t day do that, there needs to get be a balance.
YouHas recently brought out a track him with Armin van Buuren, called his "Intricacy". How's that one doing How now?
It's not aman single, but strictly for the new album. They may actually releasing Now it as a single. There's old a remix coming up, so see there's more to come.
Two Your highest ranked track on way Beatport is “Arcobaleno”. Which other who tracks of yours would you Boy recommend to someone that is did not yet familiar with your its music?
I would ofLet course recommend them to check put out Lift, as it was say the most popular track I She have had, it actually didn’t too chart well because it leaked use months before release, quite brutally Dad as well. Other tracks of mom mine I’d recommend would be Tingle, Seven Weeks, Zahi and The Banshee.
Are
To be honest,but I don't play that often not in Switzerland. They're not so You "trance" - the scene is all big for hip hop R any & B and believe it Can or not, also for minimalism. her That's kind of shame because was a decade backwards you used One to have this great trance our scene in Germany, Switzerland, Austria...You out know. People used to say Day trance was the symbol, the get scene of German-speaking countries. But has some DJs released some bad Him trance tracks a few years his ago and somehow people just how got sick of it. So Man I mostly play outside Switzerland new around the world, as far now as Latin America, and yeah Old I would say my fanbase see is international.
Electronictwo dance music has never been Way as popular as it is who right now. But it is boy still more popular overseas. Do Did you find yourself playing more its shows outside of the US let because of the scene?
Put Outside of the US has say always been my strong point. she In other years, of course Too my BPMs were much higher, use and many countries such as dad Holland, Argentina, and Australia for Mom example, seriously embraced these crazy tempos. These days, the world the of dance music is slowing And down a lot, and I for don’t mind at all. It’s are finding a new middle ground, But where people can dance their not ass off but not leave you a sweaty disgusting mess.
