Mason Vera Paine and Inamar Interview Transcription



Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine – 0:02: Swiss DJ and producer Inamar joins me to speak about her career and her latest project, Dolce Vita. Thanks for joining me, Inamar.



Inamar – 0:09: Hey, Mason, I'm thrilled about this interview opportunity. Thank you so much for having me.



Mason Paine – 0:14: So tell me, Inamar, how long have you been a DJ?



Inamar – 0:17: I've been a DJ for three years.



Mason Paine – 0:19: That's amazing that you've been djing for three years already. You know, I'm curious, who are some of your musical influences and what drew you to them?



Inamar – 0:27: I've been inspired by various artists like Nora and pure, pretty, pink and Miss Monique. Their ability to showcase their creations to the audience and feel the vibes directly on the stage is truly inspiring.



Mason Paine – 0:41: You know, I read somewhere that you also play instruments. Is this true?



Inamar – 0:44: Yes, I play the piano and the guitar.



Mason– 0:46: Now do you ever incorporate the piano or guitar into your music?



Inamar – 0:50: Well, my creative process always starts at my piano. Jamming around generates many ideas, melodies and even songwriting.



Mason Paine – 0:58: From what I read, you're also a producer. What inspired you to gravitate towards that? Or was this more of a natural progression as a DJ?



Inamar – 1:06: It was actually the other way around. Seven years ago, I started producing. I was in Ibiza, standing at Ushuaya, and suddenly it hit me like a lightning bolt. I knew I wanted to make music. I flew back home, downloaded logic prex and thought myself everything through YouTube videos and books. I think it was then a natural progression that at some point I wanted to showcase my music to an audience. That's when I started DJing and realized it's also a huge passion of mine.



Mason Paine – 1:37: I love hearing how people end up becoming DJs and everything about you was self taught. It was just a natural progression into being a musician. And you just knew that, bam, this is where I want to be. So tell me about your latest track, Dolce Vita.



Inamar – 1:52: Well, my new track, Dolce Vita, was created in my music studio in Lugano. Lugano is located in the italian part of Switzerland. The view of palm trees and Lugano's mountains. Sansa vaturatore inspired me to write Dolce Vita. I had this melody in my head and translated it onto my piano to craft the song's lyrics. I really wanted to produce a song that reflects my love for the italian way of life. So I poured all my good wipes into it. With this song, I aimed to emphasize the joys of life, such as good food, good company and beautiful surroundings.



Song – 2:30: Dolce Vita By: Inamar



Mason Paine – 5:27: Now I know you released Dolce Vita on Sirup. How did this partnership come about?

Google February Trends Transcription



Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine – 0:02: February has wrapped up, so let's check out this month's most popular search trends with Google trends expert Justin Burr. Thanks for joining me, Justin.



Justin Burr – 0:10: Hey, thanks for having me.



Mason Paine – 0:11: So a lot of stuff has been happening so far, and we need a recap. And the first thing I need to know about what was trending on the Grammys.



Justin Burr – 0:19: Yeah. You know, February is a short month, but they crammed so much stuff into it. There's so many things to talk about. So Grammys. Right. Do people still watch award shows? I don't know. But looking at the Google trends, the top search red carpet looks, Taylor Swift number one. Boy genius number two. Billy Joel number three. Taylor Swift, always looking. H. She also won Grammy of the year, album of the year. She was also trending because she announced an upcoming album, tortured poets department. I already bought the vinyl on pre order. What's up? A couple other trending things. Paris Hilton new album was trending. Has Miley Cyrus ever won a Grammy? Was trending because she won her first ever Grammys. So no, she hadn't, but now she has. So I didn't watch the Grammys, but I've heard gothings and there's a lot of search interest in this.



Mason Paine – 1:10: Know, it's crazy about the Miley Cyrus one. I was completely shocked. I really thought she won multiple Grammys.



Justin Burr – 1:17: No, for sure. And I think that was why it was one of the breakout searches because I think people were pretty shocked when she won that one, that it was her first because, yeah, she's been making sweet tunes for a long time.



Mason Paine – 1:28: Right.



Justin Burr – 1:29: I don't know. I guess she never got it.



Mason Paine – 1:30: Who else was I? Celine Dion. I thought that was fabulous that she was out there because she has that stiff person syndrome. So I know she limits her going outside a lot, but it was absolutely amazing. She looked gorgeous.



Justin Burr – 1:44: So good. Yeah. She's had to cancel some tours and stuff. Right. She's had some mobility issues.



Mason Paine – 1:49: Yeah.



Justin Burr – 1:49: Great. I've seen her in concert and it was.



Mason Paine – 1:54: Wow.



Justin Burr – 1:55: Yeah, dude, dude. Right before the pandemic hit, right in Brooklyn, got some tickets, last second, went in there and she just rocked. Was, it was so such, she's such a performer, really captivates an audience, captivates the world. So it's awesome.

Mason Vera Paine and Browncoat Transcription



0:00-Mason Paine: Brown coat has been in the music industry for over 26 years. Find out how he stays motivated and the impact he has made in India developing the EDM scene there. Thanks for joining me. Browncoat.



0:13-Browncoat: Hi there, Mason. Thank you so much for having me. I've been really looking forward to this conversation. Really happy to be here.



0:18-Mason Paine: You've been creating music for 26 years. What first drew you into EDM?



0:24-Browncoat: While I wouldn't necessarily call my music EDM, I try and make more deep house, melodic techno and house and slightly more underground than conventional EDM. And it's been 26 years, but it's still a struggle in India because India has such a deep and rich musical culture that it's very difficult for anything which is non-indian to cut through. And that's probably the main reason where I wanted to showcase more of the international and electronic music because that's not what you get in still date. There's not a single radio channel or tv show or anything which can be considered mainstream that showcases international music. And that's the best part about it. You're running against the tide and showcasing music that people are not used to. That was the biggest draw for me.



1:12-Mason Paine: So you've been going against the grain for many years. But when you first started in the scene, what genre did you spin?



1:19-Browncoat: In the beginning, it was just a fight and struggle with the venues to allow us to play international, be it top 40, hip hop, r and b, or even basic pop. It was just that difficult because everybody just wanted you to play what's being broadcasted everywhere, the typical hindi film music or the punjabi music. And at that time, we would just be happy to play top 40s because that was the struggle for us.



1:42-Mason Paine: Wow. So you had a history of just fighting to be able to play certain songs in the style that you wanted to. But as of today now, what's the particular genre that you spin nowadays I.



1:55-Browncoat: Play a lot of melodic techno, indie dance, deep house, progressive. That's also because I produce a lot of these genres and it gets an amazing response from the floor. It's really progressing beautifully and I love where the music is right now.



2:08-Mason Paine: What is the EDM music scene like in India?



2:11-Browncoat: The electronic scene in India is amazing. The crowd that turns up for our events is just beautiful. The response that you get from the audience is incomparable because I've traveled and played around the world and I still prefer playing to an Indian audience because they really give you their all when they're dancing, the screaming, the shouting, the smiling. And even though it might not be the mainstream genre in India,]]> Mason Vera Paine, the Unabridged Millennial full false 14:53 https://masonverapaine.com/ramsesboomboominterview/ Thu, 08 Feb 2024 21:05:51 +0000 https://masonverapaine.com/?p=7954 Source

Mason Paine and Wannes Salome: Transcription



0:00 - Announcer: Mason Vera Paine.



0:01 - Mason Paine: Wannes Salomé and Erik Buschmann formed the group Ramsesboomboom. Wannes joins me to speak about how the group was formed and what are some things we can expect from them. Thanks for joining me, Wannes.



0:14 - Wannes Salome: Hey, Mason. Really happy to be here, and, thanks for having me on.



0:17 - Mason Paine: So, Wannes, tell me, how did you guys form Ramsesboomboom?



0:21 - Wannes Salome: Yes. So Ramsesboomboom is a duo project of me and Erik. Erik and I have known each other, like, for all of our professional music career. We went to school together. He studied drums, and I studied music production. And we basically clicked right away at school. So we played in bands together. And after our studies, We actually played in a band called Clangstaff, which is a indie rock band.



0:48 - Wannes Salome: And we toured all over America and Europe and played a lot of festivals. And during that time, when we got tired of doing indie music, we got together and started to write some electronic music Because we were both really into electronic music as well, like John Hopkins, James Blake, like a lot of alternative electronic music. So we just started to write electronic track. After a while, we had a collection of them and we thought we should release this, do something with it.



1:16 - Mason Paine: You know, inquiring minds have to know, Ramsesboomboom. Now that's a pretty unique name. Can you give me the background on what it means?



1:25 - Wannes Salome: Definitely, it's an interesting name. Ramses was actually the name of our very first demo. Like, the very first electronic track we we created was initially called Ramses. Then we decided to call our project Ramses, and we called that track I feel nothing, which is the 1st, track we released with this project. So actually, the 1st track we ever wrote is also the 1st track, we released, which is very funny. But then after a while, we decided to add the Boom, Boom to it because it just It's a little bit of playfulness, and it's also gives the whole name a little bit more of a unique vibe, a more of a interesting vibe, which is why We went with Ramsesboomboom.



2:04 - Mason Paine: You know, prior to forming Ramsesboomboom, did either of you have any other musical background?



2:10 - Wannes Salome: Yeah. So we we studied together on the Conservatoire of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and we both studied at the pop academy. Yeah. I think We're both just really we have really broad interests. So we've done a lot of music. We've done a pop and jazz and tried out some classical music influences. Yeah. And as, as producers, we work with different artists with different backgrounds as well.



2:37 - Wannes Salome: So I don't know. We're we're just very much in love with music and creating and experimenting, actually. I think experimenting is a big theme for us in our music, musical career and in this project as well.

Mason Paine – 0:02: The month of January has come to an end. Find out what were some of the top things people were searching for on Google during this time with Google trends expert Bailey Thompson. Thanks for joining me, Bailey.



Bailey – 0:13: Thanks for having me, Mason.



Mason Paine – 0:14: Now that January is over, I gotta know what are some of the big top trends that we had this month?



Bailey – 0:19: The month came and went and it. Was a busy month. I think even looking back on the trends, I forgot all the things that had happened from sports to entertainment. You had the Golden Globes at the beginning of the month. And as folks tend to do, they want to know who's there and what they're wearing. So Ali Wong, who won a best actress award for her role in beef, was one of the top trending people the day after the Golden Globes.



Bailey – 0:22: I think even looking back on the trends, I forgot all the things that had happened from sports to entertainment. You had the Golden Globes at the beginning of the month. And as folks tend to do, they want to know who's there and what they're wearing. So Ali Wong, who won a best actress award for her role in beef, was one of the top trending people the day after the Golden Globes. And I think part of that was. She was the first person of Asian descent to win that particular award in succession. I don't know if you're a fan. I'm a fan. Even though the series is over, they. Are still continuing to trend. They took home four Golden Globes. Kieran Culkin had a really entertaining acceptance speech. So they were top of mind. And then the Emmys were in the middle of the month. It is award season. As I mentioned, folks are interested in what people are wearing. Aubrey Plaza from White Lotus and Suki Waterhouse and Daisy Jones and the six were top trending for their red carpet dresses. And then Elton John earned himself an EGOT with his Emmy award. So a lot of people searching, what is an EGOT? Very busy in the entertainment.



Mason Paine – 1:23: Yeah, EGOT. That was actually really cool. I find it such a cool accomplishment when somebody wins. Like, I don't know, part of me is like, why should I give a hoot if somebody wins all of it? But that is huge, right? I mean, an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, what's the Tony, I think, right? Tony?



Bailey – 1:40: Yeah. Yeah. It's wild. I think it's not until I actually. Think about go through the acronym to really think through, like, wow, that is a person of many talents across the board, right? Really impressive.



Mason Paine – 1:53: And then I'm trying to think, what did he win with his Oscar, right?



Bailey – 1:57: Like, what was that such a good.



Mason Paine – 1:59: Even I don't to kind of look.



Bailey – 2:03: Up at the other ones. And now I'm realizing I didn't even look up what Oscar was.

Mason Paine - 0:01: Alfredo Mazzilli is a techno DJ and producer that goes by the name AMKA. AMKA joins me to speak about his career and how in such a short time, he's been making waves in the scene. Thanks for joining me, AMKA.



AMKA - 0:12: Thank you for having me on.



Mason Paine - 0:14: Mason, tell me, how long have you been a DJ and how'd you pick up your name?



AMKA - 0:18: Yeah, well, I started DJ when I was 14, and the story behind my DJ name is, is that everyone was calling me AMKA because it's my gamer tag. I'm a big fan of video games, so, yeah, I kept AMKA as my artist's name. That's it.



Mason Paine - 0:37: Nice. I actually like video games too. Was that your inspiration or was there something else that inspired you into the music industry?



AMKA - 0:45: I grew up surrounded by music. My uncle was a DJ as well and he had the DJ console at my parents’ home. So, one day I decided to try and since then everything started.



Mason Paine - 0:58: That's cool. You have a solid foundation and there are multiple genres. When it comes to EDM, what drew you to techno specifically?



AMKA - 1:07: Well, that's a great question. Honestly, I decided to choose techno because it's able to convey different emotion to people. The groove and the melodies are able to transport the listener whatever he wants at the moment of listening. That's why I have chosen techno.



Mason Paine - 1:21: Do you think you bring anything unique to techno?



AMKA - 1:24: I don't know, probably melodies or atmospheres, because it's what my fans love more about my music.



Mason Paine - 1:30: Your new track, vivid memories. I got to know, was there any inspiration behind it?



AMKA - 1:35: The concept behind the track was to create a memorable experience. Whether you're listening to it at a club or a festival, it aims to capture the essence of the moment, making it unforgettable for you and your friends around you.



Mason Paine - 6:14: It's sham you. Is there any other artists in particular that you look up to or you get inspired by that? Just really helps you push your own music along?



AMKA - 7:40: I'm not going to say a specific name, to be honest, because the world is full of incredible artists who keep inspiring me and other people every day. We just have to be thankful to all of them for their music and to keep inspiring us.

Google New Years Trends Transcription



Announcer 00:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine 00:01: it's 2024 and people are already hitting Google searching for information about health, travel and more. Robert Ferrara joins me to speak about the new year's trends. Thanks for joining me, Robert.



Robert Ferrara 00:13: Thanks for having me. Happy New Year.



Mason Paine 00:15: You know, what are some of the top search new Year resolutions people are searching for?



Robert Ferrara 00:20: Now is that time of year. You know, everyone's thinking about their New Year's resolutions, how to better themselves for 2024, and we're really seeing that reflected across all of our search trends as well on Google. So this year, resolutions are always top of mind in January that we see in our results. But the categories that we're seeing, not surprising. The first one is health and wellness. So that includes physical health, mental wellness, really the whole gamut there. Also, right after that is financial. Also, one we see pretty consistently year over year things related to money and how you can be more budget conscious and manage your money more effectively in the new year.



Robert Ferrara 00:57: And then finally, the third one was a bit of a breakout and a little surprising to us, too, which is really cool. So green and ecofriendly resolution were some of the top ones as well. So a lot of people thinking about the kinds of products they buy, whether they're deemed ecofriendly, sustainable fashion, how to be more green at home, just trying to lessen their environmental impact this year.



Mason Paine 1:17: That one is pretty interesting. How would that look in the trends? Is that kind of like, how would. I impact the environment less? Like, what can I eat or what can I do? What does that look like?



Robert Ferrara 1:28: I think there's a lot of attention to what we're consuming as a big one. So, for example, we're seeing a big spike in ecofriendly cleaning products, things that we buy every day for our household that we might have overlooked, and what kind of chemicals and materials go into these products, what is the impact they have on planet and things like that. A big thing, too, that we're seeing is sustainable fashion as well. More of a concern over fast fashion and making sure that you understand the kind of materials the garments are made out of, what kind of labor went into creating them. Is it something that's going to last for a long time? All these things that people really want to think about before making that purchase, and then even goes for larger purchases as well, which is very interesting. A funding one we spoke to with sustainable engagement ring searches really increased as well. Whether that's like vintage or pre owned or lab grown diamonds, and people doing research on alternative engagement rings, it's really interesting to see how these pains year over year.

Mason Paine and PepperJvck Transcription



Announcer 00:00: Mason Vera Paine.



Mason Paine 00:01: Jack Sheldy is a DJ and producer based out of San Diego, California, that goes by the name of Pepper Jack. Let's find out why he has caught the attention of many industry professionals and fans alike since his 2022 debut. Thanks for joining me, Pepper Jack.



PepperJvck 00:15: Thanks for having me on, Mason.



Mason Paine 00:17: You know, I read that you were classically trained. At what age did you start your training?



PepperJvck 00:22: So, I actually started learning classical music around the age of ten. I started playing the piano from a next-door neighbor that I had actually, and then I transitioned that into being a cellist. And I was the first chair in our orchestra in junior high and high school for a while. And I ended up playing the cello for about eight years. Learned a lot of sheet music, how to read music, how to play in a quartet, how to play in an orchestra. I was in a symphony for a while. So, yeah, it's been a lot of different classical training before I got into electronic music later on in my life.



Mason Paine 00:56: That's an impressive resume. How did you go from classically trained to gravitating towards dance music?



PepperJvck  1:02: Yeah, so that's a great question, actually, because I've had a really diverse background in music. I started in symphonies and quartets and orchestras and that sort of thing, and then I actually got into rock music after that. So I was in a garage band, in my friend's garage. We would get together after school. We went to the same high school and just jam out. I was on the guitar. We had a keyboardist, we had a singer. We play anything from blues to jazz to rock music, and that was a lot of fun.



PepperJvck 1:30: So I think that transition for me, from the orchestra setting into a rock band and then finally into electronic music, was just kind of natural for me because I was going from an instrument that wasn't that high tech, it wasn't amplified at all to something that was amplified, and I could create distortion on the amp I had with my guitar. And then eventually buying software and getting even more high tech by getting into house music and electronic music production. So for me, I think it was just that transition of getting more and more electronic, more and more amplified, and exploring all the capabilities I had at my disposal, especially. I felt like it was pretty unique having that classical background and just knowing what I know about music theory, chord progressions, minor skills, major skills, all of that knowledge I had, because I feel like a lot of people in Ableton kind of get into it from the dj side, like they dj venues and that sort of thing. And they get into it from a social aspect, and then they buy Ableton and get into production. But for me, it was really about using and channeling the skills I had with symphony aspects, with knowing my skills, my chord progressions and music theory, and coming into electronic music from that background. So I felt like that was kind of unique for my skill set and something that I always wanted to pursue.
