<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #141823; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">It’s been a very quick journey rising through the ranks for Sieg Motmans AKA Siege. Born and bred in Belgium, it was from a </span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; color: #141823; display: inline; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">very early age that Siege’s eyes opened to the world of Dance. As every young Dance music fan does he gathered his life savings and invested in a set of turntables. The rest, as they say, is history.</span></span></div>

<span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: white; display: inline; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: #141823; line-height: 18px;">Having established himself in his native club scene, it wasn’t long before Siege’s musical talents lead him into the studio. After sending out demo after demo the young talent was given the opportunity to remix U&Me’s ”Touch Me” in 2009. His remix gained the full backing of Laidback Luke, Steve Angello and David Vendetta who all championed his work in their DJ sets. 2012 has been a busy year for Siege, he has received continued support for his music from the worlds elite radio & club DJ’s. Pete Tong has played and supported every release this year and has included ‘Roads’ on his Ibiza ’12 All Gone compilation. Ever since Siege’s re-edit of Djuma Soundsystem’s ‘Les Djinns’ took the blogs by storm at the beginning of the year he has been commissioned for remixes on Elton John Vs Pnau ‘Good Morning to the Night’, Adam F ‘When the Rain Is Gone’ and more recently Tommy Trash vs. The Aston Shuffle ‘Sunrise’. Kicking off the summer Siege joined forces with fellow Belgium and friend Sem Thomasson, their first collaboration ‘Balance’ was snapped up by Michael Woods for his Diffused imprint. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m a DJ/Producer that lives in Belgium. If
I wasn’t making music I would probably be working a job that has something to
do with biochemistry since I have a degree in that and management. Or working
in a restaurant cause I really love to cook as well. But I’m really happy with
what I’m doing right now and can’t see that changing in the near future…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Not sure I know what a DJ/Producer was
when I was a little kid haha. But I remember always being into music. I played
the piano for a while when I was young. Then I discovered electronic music and
really liked it. At first I was just listening to it, later I bought a basic
mixer hooked it up to a tape deck and my discman and tried to mix my favorite
numbers into a set. Obviously that didn’t go to well since my tape deck and
discman didn’t have pitch control…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well after it didn’t really worked out
with my basic setup I discovered a mixing program for my computer. Thanks to
that program I’ve learned about pitch control, beats per minute etc. and I
figured out how to do a proper mix. But that wasn’t the real deal off course so
I saved some money and bought me two turntables and a decent mixer. I started
playing at some small local venues at first and after a while I was playing
clubs all over the country.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 150%;">After DJ’n the next step was
obviously production. How did you go about learning to producer and how did you
handle the feedback you </span><span style="line-height: 24px;">received</span></span></b><span style="line-height: 150%;"><b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> from labels in the beginning?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I think I just went on with it… Nowadays
you have tons and tons of information on the internet and tutorials on YouTube
– that wasn’t the case when I first started producing. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So I just played around with fruityloops and
tried to make some tracks. At this time this was just for fun so I don’t think
I’ve sent my tracks to labels back then. After a while I’ve switched from
fruityloops to Ableton Live, discovered the Laidback Luke forum where you could
read a lot about producing and interact with other producers. At this point I
was taking it more serious and was investing quite some time in producing
music.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The first record I finished that I can
remember was my first release as well. I went to university and there I ran
into two guys I knew from when I was little. They had an act called U&Me
and they had a label as well. At the time they were working on ‘Touch Me’ and
agreed to let me remix this. This turned out quite good for me, beyond
expectations actually. Laidback Luke picked it up and hammered it. After Luke
others followed, even Steve Angello was playing it. It also reached number 11
in the Beatport House top 100 which was unbelievable. Back then I didn’t really
realize what was happening, but looking back on it the support was pretty
overwhelming. One of the two guys from U&Me is Sem Thomasson by the way, with
whom I share the same studio building now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Back in 2009, around the time I put out
my first release the music was groovy and sexy, it slowly evolved into what we
now know as EDM. It just got harder and harder and I think that the music in a
way lost it’s soul. I’m trying to move in the opposite direction, bringing the
soul back and I’m happy to see a lot of producers and deejays are doing the
same. With things you do I was going back to basics. I wrote the bassline hook
first – I felt it was quite catchy and loved it straight away. With the
breakdown I’ve tried to stay away from the big synths and looked for something
that sounded a bit more oldschool. The only thing that was missing for me was a
little vocal hook. So I went to a bunch of sample cd’s till I found this one
which worked wonders with the track!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can talk you through it but that would
take us a while haha. But in a nutshell I want to tour more, produce more to
reach out to more people. Later on I would love to produce for pop acts as
well, not making dance music for them but produce pop tracks with real drums
and instruments. At some point I’d like to help other artists as well. Think
there are a lot of people out there making amazing music – it’s just so hard to
get noticed these days…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">That’s a tough one… Maybe something from
Daft Punk, ‘Digital Love’ or ‘One More Time’. Think they’ve been an inspiration
for almost every producer that’s doing electronic music right now. Or something
from Chic like ‘Soup For One’, it’s so groovy just makes you want to move.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For me EDM is just a term. Deep house is
also electronic music you’re supposed to dance to – right? But when referring
to the mainstream dance music I think it’s going to evolve.. At the moment it’s
all pretty much sounding the same and I think people will get bored of it and
search for something else. We can only wait and see what’s going to be the next
big thing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: justify; text-justify: inter-ideograph;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you’re a gifted musician who has great
ideas but not the technical ability to develop them in a song why not seek for
help? Don’t have a problem with that. If you’re just paying somebody to produce
a track from start to finish and you’re acting like you made it – that’s
something else. Don’t really see the point of this and don’t think it’s a good
way to build a career. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">After a successful run of beautiful progressive gems, Zerothree come to the table with something slightly different from Belgian producer Siege. “Things You Do” brings a touch of quirky house to the party.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Siege (Sieg Motmans) is one of those young talents that has been growing year on year, gaining support from the likes of Laidback Luke, Steve Angello, Michael Woods and the mighty Pete Tong. With remixes for the likes of The Aston Shuffle, Djuma Soundsystem and labels like Atlantic and ONELOVE, it’s an exciting time for this inspiring music lover.

<div style="background-color: white; color: #151515; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sieg Motmans, AKA<b> Siege</b> has been making a rising journey through the ranks and rightly so. His next delivery <b>'I'm With You'</b> featuring <b>Double Exposure</b> comes out on <b>Ultra</b> on the <b><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1037226652" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">1st of November</span></span></b>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #151515; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having established himself on the club scene in his native country, it wasn't long before Belgian DJ/producer Siege started piquing the interests of dance music tastemakers, DJs and labels alike. His early remixes of <b>U & Me's 'Touch Me</b>' and <b>Elton John vs Pnau 'Good Morning To The Night'</b> received backing from the likes of <b>Laidback Luke, Steve Angello, Avicii, </b>and<b> Benni Benassi,</b> while subsequently his original material such as <b>'Lox', 'Plug & Play' & 'Roads</b>' have all gained the official stamp of approval from revered BBC Radio 1 DJ, <b>Pete Tong</b>. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d1d1d; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #151515; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, Siege releases <b>'I'm With You'</b>, a dance chart topper in the making, a track that combines all of the elements that are good about electronic dance music, with beautiful drops, punchy synths and featuring the soulful sound of <b>Double Exposure</b>. The perfectionist’s meticulous work has paid off. </span></div>
