Interview with DJ & producer Jordan Suckley. Within EDM, only a handful of artistes can be named as DJs, Producers and technical magicians. Many perfect and hone their talents to an extraordinary standard in one wing of Dance Music, but to become known for your live performances, to hit the top spots with your productions, and to become renowned for breathtaking skills when unleashed on all manner of equipment, is a very rare entity – Jordan Suckley is a member of that elite.
Having gained a residency on the internationally revered station BBC Radio 1, as part of the ‘In New DJs We Trust’ rotation, further cemented Jordan’s inauguration among the Superstar realms. He’s received high praise from the likes of Eddie Halliwell, John O’Callaghan, Simon Patterson and with both Mixmag and Beatport tipping him as ‘One To Watch’, no one can ignore his success and promised potential.

Interview with 1Mix Radio resident; Andreas Hellman aka Mixgeselle. How did you come to be a fan of House Music; do you remember an early track or artist who started your love for house?
Mixgeselle: Disco and the 80’s synth pop era was actually where I started my musical interest. I enjoyed some of the early House tracks like ‘Promised Land’ by Joe Smooth and Inner City’s’ Good Life’, but I have to admit that I was not a big house fan in the beginning. In fact I refused to go into clubs in the 90’s because of the horrible quality of dance music they used to spin in Germany… I delved deeper into house music early in the 21st century when I found out that many of the tracks from the past have had a nice house remix treatment – one of the first tracks I really enjoyed was ‘Love Is In The Air’ by Milk & Sugar vs John Paul Young. By the way - that’s why I still love my ‘retro’; still on air every week!

Hardwell Wins Top 100 DJ's 2013. DJ Mag has released their 2013 results for the top 100 DJs in the world. There have been a lot of rumours that 1Mix Radio resident Hardwell would take the top spot. His new documentary centers on his dream to be the No.1 DJ in the world. During the last few days before the results were released, Hardwell started to compare his ranking spots over the years to his mentor, Tiesto. According to a picture he had posted, Hardwell and Tiesto both took the same numbered positions for three years, from No.24, to No.6 to No.1. At the documentary premier during ADE on Thursday night, other DJs were asked if Hardwell would win and they said yes. Tiesto even announced it a day before the winners were announced, so that’s how sure he was. Hardwell was very confident throughout the entire competition, so much so that he was one of the only DJs to actively post about waiting for the results.
