Exclusive interview: New Dance Music Friday with Joe Stone
Oct 27, 2017
We proudly present the New Dance Music Friday feature, your weekly update on all newly released dance tracks, brought together on one amazing Spotify playlist. Featured this week (among many others): Joe Stone! He released the exciting ‘Let’s Go Together’ this week!
Hey, you just released your new single ‘Let’s Go Together’. How did you create this?
"A good friend of mine tipped me off about the vocal sample which was used years ago in a houseclassic from Jazzy M. He thought it was a cool idea to use it for my next track. I was adding some warm synth chords in the breaks and I thought a funky/disco-feel would fit really well with the vocals. Adding some 80’s synths and electric bass for the buildup would do the rest."
What does this record say about your musical evolution as an artist?
"Well, this time I wanted a track with a bit more energy than my previous records, but also while maintaining the deep house elements. It allowed me to be creative in a more musical way."
The track is featured on Spinnin’s New Dance Music Friday playlist. How important is Spotify to you?
"Spotify is very important now for me. It is the most popular streamingservice today. It allows consumers to find me quickly and add to their favorite playlist. Ofcourse to be featured in such an awesome playlist like this, it can be a great oppertunity for new people to find me and find new artists."
