Classic tracks like “Superman” and the now infamous “Rebound” (with Arty) defined his groundbreaking sound, followed by his debut artist album “Damage Control” on Anjunabeats/Astralwerks last fall that secured his place as one of electronic music’s most forward thinking artists. Having recently founded his own label Mad Zoo, Mat looks to now bring forward the next generation of talent.</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Andrew Bayer has created an almost cult like following over the past few years, whether with dance floor anthems “Bullet Catch” and “Perth,” the emotionally gripping “Once Lydian,” or the melancholic, emotional electronica of his second artist album “If It Were You, We’d Never Leave.” Despite having only performed in North America a handful of times, Bayer's captivating sets are already selling out venues and creating a major buzz.</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">ilan Bluestone is a relative newcomer among this group of artists, but his presence is established with five consecutive Beatport</span> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Trance #1s: “Under My Skin” (with Jerome Isma-Ae), “Spheres,” “Big Ben,” a remix of BT’s “Skylarking” and finally his rework of Above & Beyond’s “Satellite.” It has in fact, been years since an Above & Beyond set hasn’t included one of his productions, and his influence in the genre is impossible not to acknowledge.</span></span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Check out the ABGT050 after movie from London’s Alexandra Palace <a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhhqacauhmwwaiahjakauwjee/click.php" style="color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">here</a> .</span></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> </div> </div> <div dir="ltr" style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.15; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify;"> <div> <span style="vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">About Above & Beyond</span></b></span></div> <div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Over their three critically-acclaimed studio albums, along with their recent Acoustic project, Above & Beyond have continually been celebrated for placing real musicianship and songwriting at the heart of what they do. While their famed club mixes have resonated with the dance generation, the songs behind them have touched fans of all ages across the globe. As influenced as much by Jeff Buckley or Bon Iver as they are by their deep love of electronic music, Above & Beyond’s songs and lyrics have been sung back to them at the world’s biggest stadiums and stages – from Brixton Academy to LA's Hollywood Palladium, to their famed 1 million people gig at Barra Beach in Rio de Janeiro in 2007. </span></div> <div style="color: #222222;"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit; line-height: 1.15;"><a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhhyapauhmwwaoahjalauwjee/click.php" style="line-height: 1.15;" target="_blank">Aboveandbeyond.nu</a> </span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhwsafauhmwwakahjacauwjee/click.php" target="_blank">Anjunabeats.com</a> </span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhwuapauhmwwavahjadauwjee/click.php" target="_blank">Facebook.com/aboveandbeyond</a> </span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhweatauhmwwaaahjarauwjee/click.php" target="_blank">Twitter.com/aboveandbeyond</a> </span></div> <div> <span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://t.ymlp216.net/mwhwmadauhmwwafahjagauwjee/click.php" target="_blank">Instagram.com/aboveandbeyond</a> </span></div> </div> </div> </div>

How are you doing and what was the last country you visited?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hey hey, I’m great thanks! Just been to Canada, had an amazing time again!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>2. We know you have visited South Africa but we ask all our guests this, what is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear ‘South Africa’?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes that’s still fresh in my mind, unforgettable experience. When I think of South Africa I think of Nelson Mandela and the beautiful wildlife.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>3. We know Estiva is a DJ/Producer, can you tell us more about who Steven is on a non-musical front?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">That non musical front is getting smaller as music pretty much controls my life right now! I’m 25 and I love sports, mainly football (as in soccer) and cycling. I recently graduated from a marketing degree. Oh and I love sushi. Reading back, I think I’m a pretty normal guy, haha!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>4. Congrats on graduating! How did you balance your studies with touring and making music?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Thank you very much! I wasn’t very motivated to get the best degree and all that, so I just did what was necessary at school to get the diploma. I always felt like it was a huge distraction from my musical career, but I’m pretty happy I have the degree now, and I’m also able to do music 24/7 so everything seems to be great at the minute!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>5. Your music is progressive, dancey but at the same time very melodic and emotional. How do you find the balance between all these elements?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The number one element in music for me is the melody. Since I’m a DJ as well, I always try to create that danceable beat too. These two elements are the basics of what I mainly write. I don’t focus too much on balancing it out. Sometimes the track turns out to be more melodic and sometimes it turns out to be less melodic but more clubby.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>6. What animal would you use to describe your music and why?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Is there an animal that can fly, walk, dive/swim and eat about everything? One with fur, feathers and skin? I think my music is very diverse so I’d have to pick a fantasy breed ;)</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>7. We all have moments when we aren’t inspired. How do you deal with writers’ block and where do you draw your inspiration from?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Yes I have this very often. I always try to fight it by forcing myself to write stuff, but after some time I always realize I just have to let it go; leave the studio, catch up with friends, do something different. After a while gravity starts to pull me back into the studio and the ideas will flow again. Listening to music helps a lot as well, different genres, unknown artists.</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>8. DJing and producing are 2 very different skills. If you had to pick between DJing and producing which would you pick and why?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Producing, turning nothing into something is incredible!</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>9. The titles of your tracks have been rather interesting, funny and cute of late, how do you come up with them? We have tried and the only thing we can come up with is ‘Pandapiano’.</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Haha, ‘Pandapiano’. Going to write this one down. Any copyright on it? ;)</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I just think it’s great to come up with names that don’t exist yet. I love animals so at the moment that’s kind of my theme. I just think of some cool ones and add a word to them! Any suggestions are always welcome, hit me up on twitter @estivamusic :)</span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>10. Tell us more about ‘Hippodrop’. What were your first thoughts when you sat down to produce the track and what was the inspiration behind the track?</b></span><br /> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">As much as I love the emotional darker melodies too, the happy melodies are my signature. I love the harder drops nowadays but they’re usually combined with the more darker, haunting melodies. As wrote the happy Hippodrop melody I felt like it could be a fun idea to create a hard hitting drop!</span><br /> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><iframe allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" frameborder="0" height="266" mozallowfullscreen="mozallowfullscreen" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/D8Nqxs9EL6A?feature=player_embedded" webkitallowfullscreen="webkitallowfullscreen" width="320"></iframe></span></div> <div class="normal" style="text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div> </div> <div class="normal" style="text-align: left;"> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>11.

One of your friends has dared you to get a tattoo.

What lyrics would you get tattooed?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I’d have to think this through real good.

What song annoys you?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I absolutely hate Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke. I don’t know what it is and why it’s been such a hit. It’s not working for me now and and didn’t work for me before it was overplayed!</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>15. Any last messages for fans and what’s next for Estiva, new tracks, an album, tours?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">2013 has been a huge year for me. I feel reborn and this is just the start of something beautiful. I have loads of tracks lined up and it looks like I can finally focus on an album. 2014 I will be doing some big tours, including returning to Australia and North America, so lots of stuff to look forward to!
