    Mason Vera Paine and Inamar Interview Transcription







    Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine.







    Mason Paine – 0:02: Swiss DJ and producer Inamar joins me to speak about her career and her latest project, Dolce Vita. Thanks for joining me, Inamar.







    Inamar – 0:09: Hey, Mason, I'm thrilled about this interview opportunity. Thank you so much for having me.







    Mason Paine – 0:14: So tell me, Inamar, how long have you been a DJ?







    Inamar – 0:17: I've been a DJ for three years.







    Mason Paine – 0:19: That's amazing that you've been djing for three years already. You know, I'm curious, who are some of your musical influences and what drew you to them?







    Inamar – 0:27: I've been inspired by various artists like Nora and pure, pretty, pink and Miss Monique. Their ability to showcase their creations to the audience and feel the vibes directly on the stage is truly inspiring.







    Mason Paine – 0:41: You know, I read somewhere that you also play instruments. Is this true?







    Inamar – 0:44: Yes, I play the piano and the guitar.







    Mason– 0:46: Now do you ever incorporate the piano or guitar into your music?







    Inamar – 0:50: Well, my creative process always starts at my piano. Jamming around generates many ideas, melodies and even songwriting.







    Mason Paine – 0:58: From what I read, you're also a producer. What inspired you to gravitate towards that? Or was this more of a natural progression as a DJ?







    Inamar – 1:06: It was actually the other way around. Seven years ago, I started producing. I was in Ibiza, standing at Ushuaya, and suddenly it hit me like a lightning bolt. I knew I wanted to make music. I flew back home, downloaded logic prex and thought myself everything through YouTube videos and books. I think it was then a natural progression that at some point I wanted to showcase my music to an audience. That's when I started DJing and realized it's also a huge passion of mine.







    Mason Paine – 1:37: I love hearing how people end up becoming DJs and everything about you was self taught. It was just a natural progression into being a musician. And you just knew that, bam, this is where I want to be. So tell me about your latest track, Dolce Vita.







    Inamar – 1:52: Well, my new track, Dolce Vita, was created in my music studio in Lugano. Lugano is located in the italian part of Switzerland. The view of palm trees and Lugano's mountains. Sansa vaturatore inspired me to write Dolce Vita. I had this melody in my head and translated it onto my piano to craft the song's lyrics. I really wanted to produce a song that reflects my love for the italian way of life. So I poured all my good wipes into it. With this song, I aimed to emphasize the joys of life, such as good food, good company and beautiful surroundings.







    Song – 2:30: Dolce Vita By: Inamar







    Mason Paine – 5:27: Now I know you released Dolce Vita on Sirup. How did this partnership come about?

    Announcer – 0:00: Mason Vera Paine.







    Mason Paine – 0:02: February has wrapped up, so let's check out this month's most popular search trends with Google trends expert Justin Burr. Thanks for joining me, Justin.







    Justin Burr – 0:10: Hey, thanks for having me.







    Mason Paine – 0:11: So a lot of stuff has been happening so far, and we need a recap. And the first thing I need to know about what was trending on the Grammys.







    Justin Burr – 0:19: Yeah. You know, February is a short month, but they crammed so much stuff into it. There's so many things to talk about. So Grammys. Right. Do people still watch award shows? I don't know. But looking at the Google trends, the top search red carpet looks, Taylor Swift number one. Boy genius number two. Billy Joel number three. Taylor Swift, always looking. H. She also won Grammy of the year, album of the year. She was also trending because she announced an upcoming album, tortured poets department. I already bought the vinyl on pre order. What's up? A couple other trending things. Paris Hilton new album was trending. Has Miley Cyrus ever won a Grammy? Was trending because she won her first ever Grammys. So no, she hadn't, but now she has. So I didn't watch the Grammys, but I've heard gothings and there's a lot of search interest in this.







    Mason Paine – 1:10: Know, it's crazy about the Miley Cyrus one. I was completely shocked. I really thought she won multiple Grammys.







    Justin Burr – 1:17: No, for sure. And I think that was why it was one of the breakout searches because I think people were pretty shocked when she won that one, that it was her first because, yeah, she's been making sweet tunes for a long time.







    Mason Paine – 1:28: Right.







    Justin Burr – 1:29: I don't know. I guess she never got it.







    Mason Paine – 1:30: Who else was I? Celine Dion. I thought that was fabulous that she was out there because she has that stiff person syndrome. So I know she limits her going outside a lot, but it was absolutely amazing. She looked gorgeous.







    Justin Burr – 1:44: So good. Yeah. She's had to cancel some tours and stuff. Right. She's had some mobility issues.







    Mason Paine – 1:49: Yeah.







    Justin Burr – 1:49: Great. I've seen her in concert and it was.







    Mason Paine – 1:54: Wow.







    Justin Burr – 1:55: Yeah, dude, dude. Right before the pandemic hit, right in Brooklyn, got some tickets, last second, went in there and she just rocked. Was, it was so such, she's such a performer, really captivates an audience, captivates the world. So it's awesome.







    Mason Paine – 2:12: When it comes to other culture stuff, what else was trending in February?







    Justin Burr – 2:16: Yeah, there's a few things. We've got Black History Month,

    Mason Vera Paine and Browncoat Transcription







    0:00-Mason Paine: Brown coat has been in the music industry for over 26 years. Find out how he stays motivated and the impact he has made in India developing the EDM scene there. Thanks for joining me. Browncoat.







    0:13-Browncoat: Hi there, Mason. Thank you so much for having me. I've been really looking forward to this conversation. Really happy to be here.







    0:18-Mason Paine: You've been creating music for 26 years. What first drew you into EDM?







    0:24-Browncoat: While I wouldn't necessarily call my music EDM, I try and make more deep house, melodic techno and house and slightly more underground than conventional EDM. And it's been 26 years, but it's still a struggle in India because India has such a deep and rich musical culture that it's very difficult for anything which is non-indian to cut through. And that's probably the main reason where I wanted to showcase more of the international and electronic music because that's not what you get in still date. There's not a single radio channel or tv show or anything which can be considered mainstream that showcases international music. And that's the best part about it. You're running against the tide and showcasing music that people are not used to. That was the biggest draw for me.







    1:12-Mason Paine: So you've been going against the grain for many years. But when you first started in the scene, what genre did you spin?







    1:19-Browncoat: In the beginning, it was just a fight and struggle with the venues to allow us to play international, be it top 40, hip hop, r and b, or even basic pop. It was just that difficult because everybody just wanted you to play what's being broadcasted everywhere, the typical hindi film music or the punjabi music. And at that time, we would just be happy to play top 40s because that was the struggle for us.







    1:42-Mason Paine: Wow. So you had a history of just fighting to be able to play certain songs in the style that you wanted to. But as of today now, what's the particular genre that you spin nowadays I.







    1:55-Browncoat: Play a lot of melodic techno, indie dance, deep house, progressive. That's also because I produce a lot of these genres and it gets an amazing response from the floor. It's really progressing beautifully and I love where the music is right now.







    2:08-Mason Paine: What is the EDM music scene like in India?







    2:11-Browncoat: The electronic scene in India is amazing. The crowd that turns up for our events is just beautiful. The response that you get from the audience is incomparable because I've traveled and played around the world and I still prefer playing to an Indian audience because they really give you their all when they're dancing, the screaming, the shouting, the smiling. And even though it might not be the mainstream genre in India,

    0:14 - Wannes Salome: Hey, Mason. Really happy to be here, and, thanks for having me on.







    0:17 - Mason Paine: So, Wannes, tell me, how did you guys form Ramsesboomboom?







    0:21 - Wannes Salome: Yes. So Ramsesboomboom is a duo project of me and Erik. Erik and I have known each other, like, for all of our professional music career. We went to school together. He studied drums, and I studied music production. And we basically clicked right away at school. So we played in bands together. And after our studies, We actually played in a band called Clangstaff, which is a indie rock band.







    0:48 - Wannes Salome: And we toured all over America and Europe and played a lot of festivals. And during that time, when we got tired of doing indie music, we got together and started to write some electronic music Because we were both really into electronic music as well, like John Hopkins, James Blake, like a lot of alternative electronic music. So we just started to write electronic track. After a while, we had a collection of them and we thought we should release this, do something with it.







    1:16 - Mason Paine: You know, inquiring minds have to know, Ramsesboomboom. Now that's a pretty unique name. Can you give me the background on what it means?







    1:25 - Wannes Salome: Definitely, it's an interesting name. Ramses was actually the name of our very first demo. Like, the very first electronic track we we created was initially called Ramses. Then we decided to call our project Ramses, and we called that track I feel nothing, which is the 1st, track we released with this project. So actually, the 1st track we ever wrote is also the 1st track, we released, which is very funny. But then after a while, we decided to add the Boom, Boom to it because it just It's a little bit of playfulness, and it's also gives the whole name a little bit more of a unique vibe, a more of a interesting vibe, which is why We went with Ramsesboomboom.







    2:04 - Mason Paine: You know, prior to forming Ramsesboomboom, did either of you have any other musical background?







    2:10 - Wannes Salome: Yeah. So we we studied together on the Conservatoire of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, and we both studied at the pop academy. Yeah. I think We're both just really we have really broad interests. So we've done a lot of music. We've done a pop and jazz and tried out some classical music influences. Yeah. And as, as producers, we work with different artists with different backgrounds as well.







    2:37 - Wannes Salome: So I don't know. We're we're just very much in love with music and creating and experimenting, actually. I think experimenting is a big theme for us in our music, musical career and in this project as well.
