| News | Playmaker Interview for Pacha Magazine Posted: 16 Jul 2008 04:26 PM CDT There is nothing like the feeling of hearing just a few chords of a song to send your emotions high and lift you right up there. “Bring it on” you say, and the music does. Well, that’s exactly how you'll feel when you hear the fantastic work from this Swedish-based musician, DJ and producer, Playmaker. Deep, yet uplifting in a very funky way and filled throughout with sweeping breaks, it's very danceable and makes me feel very happy -- all the right elements for prefect house music. After conducting the interview and reading the answers, I must say I had to laugh when I read the conditions under which it was written, just as I thought, perfect house music. I had never come across Playmaker or his music before, and was delighted to find behind the alias is a very humorous, pleasant and musically talented Swedish guy. |
