Hailing from Kempton Park on Gauteng’s East Rand and “Born and bred to be at peace with the sound of airplanes,” TiMO has always been destined to go places and his journey has recently accelerated with his signing to Universal Music in February 2015.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> Having worked through a variety of sounds, TiMO has settled on a deeper, pop enshrined sound that allows him to seamlessly blend a variety of different elements and textures. “Music with a deeper feel allows me more room to write and express myself,” says TiMO, “Whether you want electronic or acoustic sounds, they both fit well inside music with a deep feel.” </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> TiMO ODV has launched himself onto the scene with his debut Gold selling single “Save Me” (featuring the luscious harmonies of Sarah Jackson), showcasing how his soul stirring deep sound illuminates the magnetic power of his pop sensibilities. Save Me has had a significant impact on radio, taking the #4 spot on the Afstereo Top 100 (national radio chart), #2 on Shazam and #4 on iTunes.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> His follow up single, Find My Way - a glorious deep pop anthem resonating with heart-pounding bass and soul stirring pop brilliance - has been playlisted across all major radio stations, with a video set for release in mid-September.</div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> Ahead of his performance at Rage 2015 we had a chat with him.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIZGtRfrjH9963_tGQ4SYoYsFqrUNbTudg0y2G2lxzcWU6lLo__F_QI9NknUaWYj7rFVrqXWORmO16JLKZo4gfOGV0MusQartICNzyiCvXv_JqMjzVU_ndkLEP4tcZ8xfOfciEn0-gjx9/s1600/TIMO+ODV.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #f1c232;"><img alt="Timo ODV interview " border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZIZGtRfrjH9963_tGQ4SYoYsFqrUNbTudg0y2G2lxzcWU6lLo__F_QI9NknUaWYj7rFVrqXWORmO16JLKZo4gfOGV0MusQartICNzyiCvXv_JqMjzVU_ndkLEP4tcZ8xfOfciEn0-gjx9/s640/TIMO+ODV.jpg" title="Timo ODV Rage festival interview" width="640" /></span></a></div> <span style="color: #f1c232;"><br /></span> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">1.     Can you tell us a little more about who you are? If you weren’t making music what would you be doing?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> If I was making music and had to be living a different dream I would be a footballer if it was a different reality probably a graphic designer or poker player.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">2.     We sure you have been asked this question a million times but for all our readers who don’t know how you started, can you take us through your journey as an artist?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Well I loved music my whole life just the producing side of it was very out of reach until I found out you can make music on ur computer so that's what I started doing when I was 21, I then learnt to sing as I couldn't previously sing.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">3.     In a short while you went from practically being a normal person to being one of South Africa’s most loved artists, how has your life changed?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It's changed in the sense that people have given me the opportunity to live my dreams</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b> <span style="color: #f1c232;">4.     What is a typical day like in each of your life? How do you go from idea to finished product?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  I generally sit down start with the chords and start writing the vocal melody once I feel I have something catchy enough for people to sing along to I then start producing the song adding the bassline and the drums.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">5.     You are self-taught from Youtube, what prompted you to learn and do you think this gives you a competitive advantage over other musicians?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I think the only thing that gives me an advantage at this stage is I don't have to run around looking for vocalists and songwriters for my music as I do that myself a lot of producers because they don't understand singing just don't seem to get the vocals right.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">6.     You describe your sound as commercial deep house, how did you find the sound that described you?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  I think it's because I love dark deep house and I also love pop music so when I sit down to produce a little bit of both comes out and creates a type of fusion.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> 7.     We heard somewhere that you didn’t think "Save Me" would be the track to bring you such success, how did you feel when you heard it went Gold?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Hahaha I honestly at first didn't even react till I got my gold plaque and hung it on my wall, that's when I started feeling good.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> 8.     You are signed to Universal do you feel there is more pressure on you as an artist now that you are signed to an iconic label?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Nah, I don't think so I think it's not about the label but about the music I just make what I love and hope people love it too</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">9.     Rage is around the corner and you are on the lineup. How did you celebrate the end of your matric year?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I came to Rage hahahahaha</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">10.  What are you most looking forward to at Rage?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  I think just the response to my music to see if people know the words and are loving the vibes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #f1c232;"> <b>11.  If you could collaborate with any of the internationals and locals on the Rage line who would you like to collaborate with?</b></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <a href="http://www.thinkinelectronic.com/2014/04/highline-exclusive-interview-with-dzeko.html">Dzeko and Torres </a>before I made deep house I was making progressive house l just ended up feeling they deep house was more for me, but I wouldn't mind revisiting prog for a collab :D</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;"> 12.  What can fans expect from you at Rage?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> They can expect quite a lot of weird songs that I've made that I don't post online or share on social media as well as covers that I make.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">13.   Do you have any words of advice for all the new matriculants?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;">  I would say follow what you love money isn't everything</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b><span style="color: #f1c232;">14.  Lastly, do you have any last messages for your fans?</span></b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I love all my fans thank you for letting me follow my dreams</div> </div> </div> </div>

His anthemic productions also caught the attention of music industry giant Interscope Records, with whom he signed a management deal. Paris has since taken the dance music world by storm, flooding the internet with both free and label releases, garnering the attention of the scene's biggest blogs and websites. With several exciting collaborations slated for the coming months, and a rapidly expanding fanbase, all eyes are on Paris... and he's just getting started.</span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KJz4Y-wNYEx4oZhnU_T7xIZOyrEk5DI4Eqv9NBRD1M9tWtt1WNL4SFXGikJqOJtu0JkdPfO9lhWN2zuNLmoAeHlX5puGFGa3kKDO-lNk0foxOb1N6X2mG_zNrc_eW2SH0snYQHw1jWUl/s1600/paris+blohm+.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Paris blohm press pic" border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4KJz4Y-wNYEx4oZhnU_T7xIZOyrEk5DI4Eqv9NBRD1M9tWtt1WNL4SFXGikJqOJtu0JkdPfO9lhWN2zuNLmoAeHlX5puGFGa3kKDO-lNk0foxOb1N6X2mG_zNrc_eW2SH0snYQHw1jWUl/s640/paris+blohm+.jpg" title="Paris blohm interview" width="640" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="color: #222222; font-family: "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Paris is one of the international DJ's set to grace the South African shore for Rage Festival 2015, we thought we would take the time out to get to know him a little more. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;">Hi, Paris welcome to think IN electronic thank you so much for doing this interview with us.

Kid Fonque & Jullian Gomes Announce New Record Label, Stay True Sounds

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <h2 style="text-align: justify;"> <span style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0072; font-size: x-large;">Welcome to Kid Fonque and Jullian Gomes Stay True Sounds</span></span></h2> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FtAYrbJd-sUiRwyaAysV1fpvAcH1d2zKu6Dhy3uaqyhcM8jtsfyNL7oVyYGi82VtQeioXA5ZNgrcmqzK-wP8yNaQhLgo2q3swhHQCh6y-doHYkx2imsEeh960SL_jdxh9K4fjux0jHmw/s1600/STS_Logo_FA_W%2526B.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="stay true sounds kid fonque jullian gomes" border="0" height="226" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FtAYrbJd-sUiRwyaAysV1fpvAcH1d2zKu6Dhy3uaqyhcM8jtsfyNL7oVyYGi82VtQeioXA5ZNgrcmqzK-wP8yNaQhLgo2q3swhHQCh6y-doHYkx2imsEeh960SL_jdxh9K4fjux0jHmw/s320/STS_Logo_FA_W%2526B.jpg" title="Stay true sounds new south africa label" width="320" /></a></div> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> It’s official! Two industry heavyweights, Kid Fonque and Jullian Gomes have teamed up to establish a brand new record label that they’ve called Stay True Sounds.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Combining their industry experience and skills, the establishment of Stay True Sounds can be seen as the natural progression of a concrete working relationship that’s been built over several years. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> When talking about Stay True Sounds, the pair battle to contain their excitement. “Each of us brings something different to the table” explains Gomes, “creating a label together really feels like the next logical step. It’s the right time to do our own thing and not feel limited by anything. Locally I couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Frequent collaborators, Kid Fonque played a pivotal role in launching Jullian Gomes' career in his previous role as label manager of iconic imprint Soul Candi Records.  At the time Gomes was releasing with his cousin Michael G as G.Family, and their album Deep House Chronicles Vol.6 - Break the Silence was nominated in the category Best Dance Album at the 2011 SAMAs.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Gomes went on to release the award-winning anthem “Love Song 28” as a solo artist on Soul Candi and worked closely with Kid Fonque on the popular music video. The track proved to be career landmark and global recognition for Gomes followed.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUv_a8Vc9T0fi4c3Zu5mVfekMtDqvz-K1A8s1K1SUdZRBciFBNaiKP0IRAKaCKtxKGx03YK7dgN2eBwPpXd9wNwwyw9iKJ-di_b1PP2JM-3PtAweUprCoJlIn88OysoHi1YSyJIcrxSJ-/s1600/Jullian+Gomes_Kid+Fonque.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="jullian gomes and kid fonque" border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYUv_a8Vc9T0fi4c3Zu5mVfekMtDqvz-K1A8s1K1SUdZRBciFBNaiKP0IRAKaCKtxKGx03YK7dgN2eBwPpXd9wNwwyw9iKJ-di_b1PP2JM-3PtAweUprCoJlIn88OysoHi1YSyJIcrxSJ-/s320/Jullian+Gomes_Kid+Fonque.jpg" title="jullian gomes and kid fonque launch new label" width="320" /></a></div> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The announcement of the new label follows several months of discussions and planning. Fans can look forward to Jullian Gomes’ debut solo album and a collaborative album from Kid Fonque and UK-based producer D-Malice. The label will be releasing material from Cuebur, Bruce Loko, Melo B Jones and Black Widow however the pair are keeping the label’s other signings hush-hush for the time being. “We are picking up singles, but it’s all for next year” explains Fonque. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Anyone who has spent a moderate amount of time on dancefloors in South Africa will be familiar with these accomplished industry players. DJ turned producer Kid Fonque is one of the scene’s most enduring and respected figures. He builds on a productive career in the industry that spans two decades - working his way from the ground up in CD stores before moving into distribution then assuming the lead at the iconic Soul Candi Records. His deep understanding of the industry’s inner-workings will be crucial to the label’s operations. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> A masterful DJ who can melt house, hip hop, broken beats and bass together, Kid Fonque is known for his long-running event series. “I have always seen my monthly #2sidesofthebeat events as a platform to showcase new talent” he says, “and my goal is for Stay True Sounds to do the same thing on a global level.”</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Summarising Jullian Gomes’ long list of career achievements is no small task.  One of the most sought-after DJ/producers in the country, a Red Bull Music Academy alumni and a globetrotting DJ whose mesmerising music has taken him all over the globe - including places as far afield as Japan. Hailing from Pretoria, Gomes is now firmly established as one of the new leaders of South Africa’s trending house music industry. His skills in the studio have seen him collaborate with the likes of Atjazz, Osunlade and Black Coffee not to mention having his music signed and released by the world’s most respected house music labels.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The formation of Stay True Sounds signals a new chapter for two dedicated audiophiles and for the local music industry. It’s apparent that the partnership is underpinned by a healthy respect for one another and that their different but over-lapping music preferences will come through abundantly. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Gomes and Fonque are hard at work bringing all the elements together for the label’s launch. Local graphic artist Jaco Haasbroek was commissioned to design the label’s logo and Gomes and Fonque have crafted a new track which they’ll be giving away for free. This musical gift is titled ‘Stay True’ in honour of the new label. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The Official Stay True Sounds launch event takes place on Friday 27 November at Kitchener’s in Braamfontein.  Cuebur, Bruce Loko, Melo B Jones & Black Widow will play alongside Kid Fonque and Jullian Gomes.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Connect with Stay True Sounds: </b></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Twitter: t<a href="http://witter.com/StayTrueSounds">witter.com/StayTrueSounds</a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/StayTrueSounds/">www.facebook.com/StayTrueSounds/</a> </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Instagram: <a href="http://instagram.com/staytruesounds/">instagram.com/staytruesounds/</a></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Web: <a href="http://staytruesounds.com/">staytruesounds.com/</a></div> <div> <br /></div> </div>
