On our second episode of Just A Mix… we’re beyond stoked to have New Orleans’ DXXXY. One of the best up-and-coming acts we’ve had the pleasure of catching live, DXXXY blew us away at BUKU 2014 and jumped at the chance to do an exclusive mix for us.

Earlier this month we had an interview with DXXXY and found out the dude has talents much deeper than just mixing and producing. We also did some digging and listened to some more of his live sets and discovered the range he has behind the decks.

If you’re ever in NO, make time out of your trip to catch one of his sets. It will be well worth your time to catch an artist that will be making some big moves within the next few years. Just you watch.

The post JNTM Exclusive: Just A Mix… Episode 02 – DXXXY [Free Download] appeared first on Just Noise To Me.

We here at JNTM are beyond excited to introduce a new series called Just A Mix… which will feature some of the best young talent from across the world. Every month we’ll spotlight a different producer who is on their way to becoming the next big thing.

The first installment of Just A Mix… features one of the hardest working up-and-comers I’ve ever had the pleasure of communicating with, Shintaro Yasuda. I was first introduced to Shintaro by our JNTM homie, BRAZZABELLE, who has been working closely with Shintaro. I got a chance to ask Shintaro some questions in addition to getting the inaugural installment of Just A Mix…

Download the very first installment of Just A Mix… right here. 

JNTM: Who was the first electronic artist that you listened to that made you want to start producing/DJing? Who still inspires you to this day?

Shintaro Yasuda: There were three songs that I remember that made me want to start producing electronic music. Chuckie’s “Let the Bass Kick” which I heard for the first time at my high school prom haha. It blew my mind.

The other two were Laidback Luke and Steve Angello’s remake of “Show Me Love” and Steve Aoki’s “Warp 1.9”

All of these producers still inspire me today because they’ve all been successful and have created their own signature sound, while still evolving with the progression and style changes of today’s music.

JNTM: Give us some background on yourself and your history working in music.

SY: I started at the age of 3 as a classically and jazz trained pianist in Miami. My career was focused on piano performance up until a few years ago. I’ve played in many bands, orchestras, solo performances, and as a studio musician.

I’ve picked up on a few instruments including guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, and clarinet. I then moved to LA where I attended school for audio engineering.

JNTM: What do you think the hardest thing is about getting started/getting your name out there, etc?

SY: Everything! Being able to stand out of the crowd can definitely be a challenge among the sea of producers and DJs especially when you’re trying to get your first few tracks heard.

JNTM: Do you think collaboration is a big part of getting your foot in the door? Why or why not?

SY: Absolutely. I found a lot of my growth as a producer was from being able to sit in a room with another producer and work on a track.

It’s always refreshing to learn and see how another individual’s approach to creating or editing can teach you to look at things differently and you can always pick up on a couple tips and tricks. It’s also more fun to be sitting in a studio with someone than being alone for 12 hours haha.

JNTM: What’s one of the biggest moments you had in 2013? What do you look forward to in 2014?

SY: Definitely opening up my own studio out here in LA was one the best things of 2013. Also meeting and getting a ton of feedback and support from producers and DJs I admire has been amazing!

2014 will be a busy year and I’m looking forward to be releasing a bunch of tracks and coming to a city near you! I also look forward to just be growing as a musician, producer, and person.

JNTM: Who are some of your favorite artists right now? EDM or not.

SY: Some of my favorite EDM artists that I’m really into right now are Brazzabelle, GTA, Wiwek, D.O.D, Juyen Sebulba, Laidback Luke, Autoerotique, Steve Aoki and Nervo. Some non EDM artists that I’m really into are Jojo, Leah Labelle, Tori Kelly, and Nikki Yanofsky.

I’ve been nostalgic lately so I’ve been listening to 90s/2000s Pop and Hip-hop.

JNTM: The EDM culture as a whole has been growing exponentially over the past few years — what are your thoughts on that? Do you think it’s a good thing or potentially a bad thing?

SY: I think it’s amazing. It’s great to see music I enjoy creating and listen to grow and become more popular by the day in all parts of the world.

JNTM: What’s one of the most embarrassing things to have happened to you on stage? How did you recover?

SY: Being as clumsy as I am, I remember playing keys in a gig once and spilled a drink all over my gear and had to stop in the middle of playing to switch out a keyboard haha.

JNTM: What do your parents think of you being a producer/DJ? Are they caught up on the culture and do they understand/support what you’re doing?

SY: My parents have always supported me since the day I picked up an instrument. My dad’s an old fashioned Japanese father so I don’t think he understands the culture but he’s always supported me in everything I do as long as I’m putting in the right work ethic.

JNTM: If you could have any other profession other than producing/djing what would it be and why?

That’s a tough one because all I’ve ever known was music but I did play paintball at a pro level for a while so maybe that. I also like arguing so maybe a lawyer haha!

Straying from his usual harder tracks, this subtle, uplifting tune is full of super happy synths that will have you bouncin’ around all day long.

SoulDoubt – Illuminate The Night

Download SoulDoubt – Illuminate The Night right here. 

Starting out gentle on the ears, this track lacks nothing in energy, taking on a truly epic sound with some big, sweeping synths and hard kicks to match. The overall trancey vibe evokes more of a musical journey than just a big house song, truly setting it apart.

Finally settled down in his newly crafted studio, make sure to look out for SoulDoubt taking it von deepah in ze near future, with newly released tracks like “Keep it Simple” in which he does exactly that.

Check out SoulDoubt on Soundcloud and show him some love!

An unknown powerhouse of musical talent, Jackson “Hiperact” Taylor, has finally unloaded his first full-length album “Shadow Games” that’s been two years in the making.

I’m especially stoked on this release because Jackson is one of my best friends and roommate for the past three years. He’s been grinding for countless hours in attempt to find his sound, and with the passion that he brings to his producing, he’s finally “ready to be heard.”

Drawing from influences like Sub Focus and Figure, this album is full of hard-hitting bass and massive synths all the way through, and is not for the weak of heart. Do yourself a solid and make sure to throw on some headphones, and turn up!

[soundcloud url=”https://api.soundcloud.com/playlists/20304800″ params=”color=ff6600&auto_play=false&show_artwork=true” width=”100%” height=”450″ iframe=”true” /]

Jackson first dabbled with production over the summer before his junior year of high school. He woke up the morning after a party to his mom telling him that he smelled like beer. The rest of the summer seemed like a bust, as grounding was inevitable in his Mormon household.

But instead of moping around the house all day, Jackson harnessed “the feeling I got when I turned my first boom box up all the way,” and started his journey down the music pathway under the alias “Mac J” utilizing his hip-hop roots to “record endless ballads to vent about whatever emotion I was learning at the time.”

Mac J slowly transitioned into his current alias, Hiperact, when he was first exposed to the EDM world at POP 2010 at the Cow Palace in Daly City. Notorious names like Fedde Le Grand, Benny Benassi and Armin Van Buuren showed Jackson for the first time “the energy that true fans can generate through the power of music… I had to make the crowd move like that.”

Download Hiperact — Shadow Games for free right here. 

After attending Sonoma State for a semester and promoting his music, he was faced with a tough decision as his parents, “gave me a choice kind of like the one Neo was given in the Matrix… I was given a choice between a blue and red pill… between staying at Sonoma for another semester, or coming home to attend community college with the perk of $3,000 towards music equipment.” He took the road less traveled and “went home to attend Sierra College and start really mixing and producing EDM.”

When asked if he ever looked back, or had second thoughts about leaving the college lifestyle he said, “It was really tough leaving my friends behind, especially all the ones I met throughout the Greek network. The way I saw it, it was either drink and study to get a degree, or follow my love for music and be proactive with my life.”

After finishing up at Cuesta College in San Luis Obispo last semester, Jackson is fully dedicated to his music, and tells us to “Look out for some big singles in the future, cause there’s some gold in the vault.”
