We have a history of activism and radical expression here, not so much puritan tradition I think. The west coast is where all the freaks and hippies end up. I've noticed that east coast parties feel different I think people are more reserved in general. Here in New York City, it is a bit more jaded… perhaps the city itself is too binding maybe the hippie core in the west is the key to the successful rooting. When I got to San Diego, there was no psy scene, so I and DJ Hydroponic, Dj Feather, and Rahmeen started our own scene. I played in Croatia this year and the party was very nice! They feel as if they have discovered paradise, so the parties have a stronger intensity than places where the scene is more well-known. The parties are good everywhere, but in places where the scene is new it is much more special for people. It was small when I started going, but the energy was incredible! I haven't seen many parties that carry the same level of intensity. I was introduced to psy in San Francisco, which has a great scene. Tell me about growing up in North America and its anemic psy scene
Its not all chill music, lots of what we play is mid tempo. Although in the northwest the chill out is much bigger, sometimes you get a few hundred in the chill out. That is very much what west coast parties are like: really good vibes. Lots of people come to parties only for the chill out, not for the trance.
#Bluetech dreaming into being full
In North America, the chill out is full of people dancing. Very well actually! Boom was strange, because everyone sits down in the chill out. How has the crowd responded to your sounds? I also played lots of shows in North America - Om festival outside Toronto, Gaian Mind in Pennsylvania, InVision in B.C., Digital Be In, in San Francisco. I have played in Italy, Portugal (Boom Festival), Germany (Voov Festival) and Croatia (Underwater Overground) on my last tour. Both trance and chill out become more powerful when placed next to each other because they augment each others differences. Balance is crucial in these types of experiences, it provides contrast. People love the full power adrenaline energy, but it needs to be balanced with the feminine energies as well. What is the role according to your description of chill out music in world's trance scene and festivals?
#Bluetech dreaming into being software
It was a learning experience, and lots of experimentation with software helped achieve my sound. I tried to forget what I knew about genres, and just let the music flow.
The first album Prima Materia is what came of that perspective. I wanted to see what happened if I just wrote what I was feeling, and kept absolute honesty to my own vision in the studio. I got to the point where I didn't want to be defined by genre. When I first started producing I was writing really full on psy trance, 145 bpm+, melodic stuff. I started playing classical music when I was 5-6 on piano. I've been into this kind of music for a very long time I started with the Orb, Ultramarine, Spacetime Continuum early chill out compilation on N.tone, Silent, etc. Tell me what drew you in to making electronic chill out music? There really is a West Coast scene that spans two countries, so I consider myself a West Coast citizen. I've spent a good amount of time in San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles. My name is Evan Bluetech, I'm 27 and I am a producer from North America.īritish Columbia, Canada, at the moment, although I am pretty nomadic up and down the west coast.
