Wow we are so close to the big 200 but let's take a second to get hyped for this episode because it is with one of my favorite DJ/Producers in the game, Return of the Jaded !
I caught up with Zoltan over Zoom and had such a blast getting his full story in this one 🎙
In 197 we got it all in and discussed:
•Journey Into House Music: Born in Romania but raised in Canada, Zoltan always had a passion for music. He started making rap beats in his early days but eventually fell in love with dance music and the limitless range of creativity he could achieve. ROTJ was born in 2013 with one purpose - to offer a fresh alternative to current trends in dance music. He continues to push the envelope on what's possible as a producer further proving that ROTJ is an extremely unique and special project. 🙌🏻
•Discography: ROTJ music catalogue is DENSE and full of incredibly well-produced and profound originals, collabs and remixes. We ran through some of his cornerstone productions like "Did You Take My Money" with Juliet Sikora on Suara, "Soma" EP, on Purified, "I'm In Love With You" with MELLY OHH and his most recent release, "Polite" with Malokyo on Sink or Swim. I'd HIGHLY recommend putting his music on shuffle. 💯
•Production Style + Approach: Zoltan has been producing for over 10 years and shared some of his humble approaches and styles for creating new music. During the discography portion, we discussed how some of his early productions are now coming full circle into some of his recent tracks. The evolution of his sound is still built upon the core foundations that he started with - always stay true to what inspires you.💫
If you haven't heard of Return of the Jaded already, let this be your friendly kick in the ass to hop on the ROTJ train because this guy is seriously special. Not only is he an amazing DJ/Producer, but he's an all around good guy who genuinely loves music. 👏🏻
Thank you so much for making the time to come on and I can't wait to meet you in person one day very soon - we're gonna party that's for sure!! 🎉
