Jan Morel - The Studio Magician!
Interview by God is a DJ
God is a DJ: Hi Jan Morel, It is a pleasure for us to welcome you on God is a DJ exclusive DJ portal for Greek DJs… Recently, a young Greek DJ had a spirit. He worked hard, kept money aside from his gigs and season sets and had a vision. To build a studio … to put him inside a unique place that would spend days & nights and asked that by you! Together with our welcome, please tell us how important and different might be the feeling for you to be selected from Top international DJs/Producers or just unknown people with a dream that you be the “magician” of their studio construction?!
JM: For me there is no difference for whom I do a project.Every new room is another challenge and I like to put in all the energy I have. When I am free to put in my creativity without any limits, it’s really cool. When it is a small room with a tight budget it’s also a big challenge to get the best out of it in sound and looks. For me it’s important to get those two elements in perfect harmony. As you said , the DJ spends days and nights in his room, that’s why it has to be according his taste and in the right ambience.This makes him feel good and comfortable in the studio.!!
God is a DJ: Well, can you please describe to us, what are you doing exactly? Do you and your team prepare everything from the typical stylus architecture point till the special audio side?!
Jan Morell: The room itself is important for the final design. It all depends on many different points like the construction of the walls, floor and ceiling. Another important issue is the buildings’ architecture of the house itself. We always try to get the design to fit in well.!!
God is a DJ: The last 15 years your country is the leading power of the new Electronic Dance Scene. Especially the last 5 years, too many artists, DJs & producers have been rising making Holland the EDM Dream Team! How do you feel about all this and been apart of the “industry” what are you suggesting for us for example the Greek DJ / Producing scene to do and be successful?!
Jan Morell: I am proud of the great success the Dutch DJ’s have achieved .Many of them I know in person. What I can say about them is they are all workaholics, following their hearts, dedicated to and passionate about the music they make.These are the ingredients for success.!
God is a DJ: Do you happen to know or listen any stuff from Greek DJs/Producers? Have you been contacted for building a studio to a famous Greek person so far?!
Jan Morell: Recently I was in Greece to do the studio room for Luis Giannfrom Kalamata. The preparations have been done by Luis himself and I supported him online. When he was ready with the preparations I came over to do the acoustic treatment. It was a very nice job to do and for me it was the first time being in Greece. I like your country very much.!
God is a DJ: It is globally well known that you are the man, behind the magnificent studio of Hardwell, #1 DJ for 2013. You know him well! Can you share with us, his impressions and face reaction when he received the studio key?!
Jan Morell: It was on a Friday night when Hardwell (Robbert) entered the studio for the first time.He was flabbergasted and more than happy with the final result of sound and design.Together with family we had a small party with some drinks. In the meantime he played some of his music. In the end he thanked me with a big hug and a huge smile on his face.!
God is a DJ: I am sure that lot of our Greek DJs/producers reading now this interview, would feel that making a studio installation set up with you, that will cost a fortune! Can you tell us, from which price this could be done from you and your team hands?!
Jan Morell: Small rooms (2.5m x 3.5m) start from around 3000,00 euro’s. This will offer you the sound and looks according to my designs.
God is a DJ: Jan it was a pleasure doing this interview with you! We are looking forward to meeting you in Greece soon for more studios!!
Jan Morell: I am looking forward to visiting Greece again and to do some beautiful new projects for the Greece Dj’s.
