For some years now, Colombian DJ/producer Bluckther (real name Juan Felipe Lopez Gomez) has been releasing house tracks that have been played all around the world on big stages such as Tomorrowland Mainstage, ADE Amsterdam, Encore Las Vegas, Ultra Miami, and many more. His Music has also gained support from some of the biggest names in the industry, such as Tiësto, Don Diablo, Afrojack, Fedde Le Grand, Steve Aoki, Diplo, Laidback Luke, and The Chainsmokers.

Recently awarded the prize for ‘Best Artist House Revelation’ by the CDA (Colombian Dance Awards) in his native Colombia, Bluckther now teams up with fellow Colombian DJ/producer and singer Martin Trevy. Martin is best known for his 2019 remix of Dermot Kennedy’s hit ‘Power Over Me’, which picked up airtime on multiple radio stations across Europe such as JAM FM, NRJ, Bayern 3 und Kiss FM. Together, they have crafted a song about burning desires, burning sensations, and a nocturnal jaunt through LA.  

“Feeling going crazy / Waiting for you baby / Until tonight “– right from the start, we’re drawn into the song’s blistering atmosphere. Martin Trevy’s smooth vocals take us to the scene of events: a lover counting the hours until he finally feels, sees, and tastes his flame again. Over brooding soundscapes and thumping beats, the production gathers momentum – and so does the car: “Hop into my fast car / We’re taking it way too far tonight”, the story goes, and by the time we’re approaching the first drop, one can only hope the two hot lovers have their car parked somewhere safe with the engine switched off…  
Bluckther x Martin Trevy ‘Your Body’ is out on Warner Music Germany.

Artists: Aluna
Title: Trouble
Label: Spotify Singles
Release date: April 23, 2021

DOWNLOAD and LISTEN!

Following the release of her debut solo album Renaissance and companion-collection of remixes from the album, Aluna releases a brand-new original song “Trouble ”featuring Michael Brun & Alicai Harley as the third installment of Spotify’s mint Singles – a companion to its flagship Dance playlist, mint, and a spin-off of the popular Spotify Singles series.

“Trouble” is a dancehall-infused electropop jam that builds on Aluna’s signature sound, blending soaring vocal harmonies with infectious beats to create an incendiary anthem just in time for this summer’s dancefloors. Working with Haitian DJ Michael Brun and Jamaican-British singerAlicai Harley, the song is an extension of Aluna’s collaborations with Kaytranada, Lido, SG Lewis, and more on her latest album Renaissance.

Says Aluna about the new song: “The thing I love most about collaborating is the surprise factor-it’s like Christmas. The song is about when you have a connection with someone on the dance floor – even if you’re not talking from some silly argument, you end up back together, locked in because your bodies just know how to live together. Alicai Harley knows all about that so it was incredible to watch her dive into the concept and then just lay down the sickest verse I’ve ever heard (and I recorded her on a boat in London!). The production started off pretty traditional but I wanted to pull together the euphoria of house with the sexiness of dancehall so I reached out to Micheal Brun because his ability to beautifully weave originality with straight dance floor power is what I love about him. I cried when I heard the final track, musicians’ tears (the same ones come out at weddings).”

Haiti’s Michael Brun worked with Aluna to help transform “Trouble” into a house-inspired dance hit, a return to Brun’s roots in dance music. In 2020 into 2021, Brun expanded his influence as one of Haiti’s most prominent cultural figures and musicians. He became a Grammy winner for his contributions to international superstar J. Balvin’s Coloresalbum, spearheaded the music industry’s first geofenced digital live tour in three cities, lent his voice to the campaign to remove the term “World Music” from the Grammys, and released his MelaninEP, featuring Nigerian artist Kah Lo, Benin’s Shirazee, and fellow Haitian singer/songwriter Naika.

Q&A with Australian DJ Alex Preston on his latest release with DJ G-Wizard…

What made you decide to rework “Weapon,” from its original mix?

It has always been one of my favorite tracks that I made over the past couple of years, and it has always worked in my DJ sets. G-Wiz loved the original as well so we wanted to make an updated and fresh version to play out.

What changes were made to the track and how did you and DJ G-Wizard come to a compromise on the final 2014 remix?

The main changes were to the drop and some of the breakdown sounds which were a bit dated. It is something we had never done before (freshening up an old track), so we thought it would be a fun idea. It worked so well that it really became the foundation for how some of our future collabs will sound.

How did you all get together?

I’ve know G-Wizard for a couple of years now. I use to support him when I was a young DJ, and he has always been one of my favorite Australian DJ’s, so when he was like, “let’s get in the Studio,” I was like, “SHIT YEAH!” Lol.

“Weapon” is released on your own vanity label Preston. What was the deciding factor, to start a label?

I love making music, and I love the business side of the industry too, so it really made sense to start a label. It allows me to have an outlet for my music and also help aspiring artists as well. I love it!

Give our audience a little peepshow into Alex’s world? Who are you? What are you about? What’s your taste in women (if I’m not presumptuous)?

Who Am I? I am 28-years-old, grew up on the Northern Beaches of Sydney, I have two dogs (Scooby Doo & Baxter), I enjoy a good glass of red wine, and I have been known to talk in my sleep.

What am I about? I am all about working hard to achieve what I want to achieve and also I love spending time with my family.

My taste in Women? I have a very lovely girlfriend who has put up with my obsession with making music for nearly four years now! She is awesome and has always been very supportive of me, so I would have to say she definitely defines my taste in women!

What is one thing your fans do not already know about you?

I once got suspended from school for flashing my ass at a teacher.

What gets you up in the morning? What inspires your music?

Making music gets me up… Well, several cups of coffee get me up, then it’s onto making music. Everything inspires my music, but more often than not, my mood will define what music I make.

Who are some of your inspirations?

All time inspirations would be Jimi Hendrix, Daft Punk, Axwell, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, Eric Prydz and my dad.
If you could advise someone (artist or DJ) coming up in the biz, what would you tell them and why?

Don’t take no for an answer, just keep persisting and working hard. Hard work + Persistence = Results!

Other than the new release, what’s next for DJ Alex Preston?

I am really looking forward heading to Europe later this year for ADE and to catch up with some peeps over there.

Do you have any shout-outs?

Shout out to my mum!
