3 QUESTIONS to ADAM STACKS:
Q: Your influences are House music. What do you think is typical for “House” in 2016?
A: I think real house music has not really changed, but I think the affiliation has increased. For me a typical house track nowadays is all about a funky groove and a funky bassline, an open hihat and maybe some chords or piano loops.
Q: You created “Beans & Bacon” as your own music label. What ́s the secret behind the name and what ́s the message you want to spread?
A: It´s seriously just a name and one of my favourite german food called „Bohnen im Speckmantel“ (bacon-wrapped beans). There is no real story behind the name. As I decided to found a new label "Beans & Bacon" was my first idea. We are an electronic music label based in Mannheim, Germany. Our focus is to release high-quality house and techno music and everything in between. The message is „tasty – home cooked – music“, which means that we are always looking for homemade electronic music without following trends. For example, when we receive demos and realize that half of the production are purchased loops we´re not interested in. We are always looking for the small but fine difference in our music, to create something new and special. We have our own idea of good music and this is what we release. For me the label isn´t only a side project, it has the same prioritiy as my artist alias Adam Stacks. In the past 2 years, we got some nice support from artists such as Hermanez, Agent!, Thomas Schumacher, Marc DePulse, Lopazz, Riva Starr, Andreas Henneberg, Mia Dora, Johnny D, Beatamines, Oscar L, Franz Alice Stern, Robert Owens, Reelow, Jesus Soblechero and many more. So it looks like we are doing something right. Let's see what happens in 2016.
Q: Which Adam Stacks releases are coming up this year?
A: There will be a release togehter with my friend, rapper and singer Luis Baltes called „Be Like Us“. Then there will be another project with my friend LO. This time together with the female singer NOVAA. These two projects will be released on Beans & Bacon. Then I´m doing another EP on the friendly label Nightcolours Recordings together with remixes from Beatamines and Neferiel. I also finished a lot of tracks I hope to release later this year.
