Mojado Interview (Mr. Sam the selfish...)

Link below:

CLICK HERE (source: trance.nu)


- So mojado is just working in the second album...
- Mr. Sam will focus more in pop remixes...
- Mr. Sam will not more remix trance tracks, only if he "likes the track very, very much..."
- Mr. Sam is coming with a new album called Lyteo...

and Mr. Sam is quite selfish imo...

- why is mr sam in the front of the album and dimitri in the background? since mojado sounds more like dimitri andreas sound?

- Trance.nu: How did you guys come up with the Spanish name of your project?
Mr. Sam: The Mojado name was my idea. I discussed it with Dimitri because we first didn�t want to make a project. And this sound was very similar to the sound that I wanted to have back. After some tests with Dimitri and myself in the studio I thought �Yes, this sounds wet and hard!�.

- Trance.nu: The only remixes which are done of Mojado tracks so far are done by the both of you yourself. Will there be remixes of Mojado tracks by other people in the future?
Mr. Sam: No, because we wanted to make an album where all the original versions were the hits. We don�t need other people to make a remix of a Mojado track, we can do it by ourselves. If we want a more techno based remix, we ask Dimitri to remix it. If we want a more trancy minded remix, I can do it myself.

- and the last (Mr. Sam neither mention Fred Baker name in the interview...):
Trance.nu: What do you consider to be your best production ever so far?
Mr. Sam: That�s difficult to say because there were so many. I did a lot productions and I think that I made around 65 remixes, I think that my best production ever is on my new Mr. Sam album. One of the tracks on this album is a down tempo track called �Split�. I did this one together with Kirsty Hawkshaw and production wise I have the feeling it�s the best record I�ve ever did! The track was made together with Tim Coltrane as well.
Dimitri Andreas: I think my best production isn�t made yet to be honest�

Mr. Sam could be more humble... read the entire interview, please, and see if you have the same feelings than me...

Mr. Sam is one of those guys who goes along with whatever makes people think hes more of the bomb. Hes a brilliant producer, and I respect him for that, but he really has an ego problem.

Thanks for the interview

Ego is good .

This is my favorite part:

Trance.nu: Do you often check forums on the internet to read reactions and comments about your gigs and releases?
Mr. Sam: Sometimes. People and friends of mine are sending me emails sometimes to let me know what I need to check and what might be interesting for me to read. I think that everybody is able through the forum to tell their personal opinion. I�m really open for it, but only when it�s constructive comment and not only to bash people, because that doesn�t make any sense at all in my opinion. People can bash me for the quality of my music or anything else� If people don�t like my music, they don�t have to listen to it. I don�t care, but from time to time I think that the people that are bashing all the time should think more and do less� If they start thinking, they will stop bashing, because it doesn�t mean anything. If I don�t like someone�s music, I will not spend my time on the internet to bash the producer. My time is precious, so I prefer to spend my time to be creative and make music instead of bashing people and their music, which is most of the time based on bullshit and lies� For example: I see a lot of Top 10 DJ�s that are getting bashed on many forums without any good reason. For me, the people who bash them, don�t have the �status� to start saying that things are shit and making up bullshit story�s about them as well. But I respect the fact that the people can talk about the music, I even respect people that don�t like my music. I�m very open minded, but I don�t like it when people bash DJ�s and producers without any good reason. But if this makes them happy, it makes me happy as well. It�s better that people talk about you in a bad way, then when they don�t talk about you� ;-)


now watch as the people he is talking about laugh

I I I I I ...

I don't get it, he's just being honest and knows what he wants.

i dont like dimitri's visons as well, mr sam visions are the goods

am I right in saying Fred Baker did most of the productional work on all the "Mr Sam" stuff?

yes for a long time, sam would take all the credit, wanted most of the money involved & cant even play a keyboard, he is pretty much a thief & liar and I was hoping tnu would have asked him about the situation, now Dimitri does all the production, but blackhole bum sam even tho he's a fraud for all intents & purpose

nice. :-|

I have the upmost respect for Fred Baker, what a brilliant producer.

I still think his remix of Delerium - Innocente was just unfuckingreal.

I also love The Effect - Day Mission as well, anyone remember that tune!?!?

Yep. It's pretty sad that people take advantage of good producers by forcing them into giving-up credit.

I really enjoy what Mr. Sam has been doing lately.

Let's see where the ego takes him to. Because if he is doing great things in music (which I think he is doing), let him have the ego, until he starts getting crappy.

Getting people to do all of the work on a tune for you and then forcing them to slap your name on it isn't "great things."

I think the question here is whether Mr.Sam produces at all? It's been my knowledge that he has no production/composition experience, hence why he needed Fred and Dimitri to produce for him.

If that is true, then I can't help think that most of the comments in the interview don't carry much weight.

finally we agree on something. Having spoken to fred a lot, he did about 90% of the production work, but Sam wanted more than half the monies earned. Sadly blackhole are allowing him to get away with it, i feel sorry for Dimitri as it's pretty obvious who's doing the majority of the work, and who should be taking the credit

indeed, I agree with Ian and 8wonders, and its noticed the only hit by mr sam is lyteo...
strange uh?
only one music... he said he made more than 65 works, but how many by himself, only?

if that's true, why are all releases under 'mr.sam' quality (lyteo, forever waiting ...) and under 'fred baker' pretty much rubbish (confirmation, total blackout ...)?

Fred Baker is actually credited with co-production on Forever Waiting.

And you thinking that Mr. Sam 'productions' are good and Fred Baker ones are rubbish is just your opinion really.

yes, definitely, it's only my personal opinion

I think that Mr Sam is a good producer that do different stuff respect of the major part of the artist and anyway I think that all of us might know well the whole history behind him before judging him.... we will continue this discussion after having heared his forthcoming album...

Judging by the interview, I don't notice anything wrong with him.

Are you kidding yourself? to say Mr.Sam is a better producer than Fred Baker is like saying a chevrolet is better than a mercedes. Read the posts and you'll notice that Fred Baker is responsible for the majority of the so called "Mr.Sam" productions. N
