也许认为今年为止出道已经十年的Bingo Players一直在不断变强从未退步,是有点疯狂。在取得了不单是有名的一系列超棒热单后,他已经在那个时代的舞曲领域里拥有不可动摇的位置。今天,他在Insomniac Records发行了全新的单曲"Be With You",一首人声部分充满了夏天气息的歌曲。在这首单曲中,Maarten把富有激情的合成器声效支撑的洗脑旋律,和整体顺畅自然的氛围巧妙的结合在一起。那是一种让你想把它送给你那个特别的人的曲子。
It’s crazy to think Bingo Players has been going strong for going on a decade this year. He’s become a permanent fixture in the dance music space in that time, having notched up a more-than-respectable list of smashing hits. Today, he’s ripping open a brand-new one on Insomniac Records by the name of “Be With You,” a vocal-driven bit crammed with all the summertime vibes a single song can handle. Maarten does a standup job at propping up the catchy topline against oxytocin-soaked synths and an overall go-with-the-flow atmosphere. It’s the type of tune you want to dedicate to that special someone.
十年的时间对于Bingo Players来说有大起也有大落,第一首单曲“Toms’s Diner“就让无数人们记住了他们的名字。不过2013年Paul突然被诊断出癌症并且永远的离开了我们,这无疑是灾难性的打击。但是第二年Maarten一个人挑起大梁,延续Paul的音乐之路,他表示会一直坚持下去,让Bingo Players一直延续下去。
Ten years for Bingo Players has also given them quite a name, their first single "Tom's Diner" has let countless people remember their names. But in 2013, they suffered a huge tragedy, as Paul was suddenly diagnosed with cancer and left us forever.
就在这个具有意义的十周年里,刚公布不久的百威风暴电音节的北京站,我们惊喜的看到Bingo Plyaers在Line Up名单上,我们不仅可以在电音节听到这一首新歌,也可以看到Maarten在遵守着自己的诺言,Bingo Players会一直往前走。
On the news of this significant 10 year anniversary, they also announced their return to China at the Beijing stop of the Budweiser STORM Festival. We were surprised to see Bingo Players in the lineup, but can't wait to hear this new song at the festival, and with Maarten carrying on by himself to fulfill the Bingo Players promise, they can move on into the future.
Maarten Hoogstraten接受了Sam Yun关于新单曲的采访,想知道他们都聊了什么吗?那就借着往下看!
There’s a little exchange Sam Yun had with Maarten Hoogstraten about his newest single, dive right in.
你已经在职业生涯中达到十年的里程碑了,恭喜你!这期间有没有一件事情是你从来没想到自己能做到的?
You’ve reached the 10-year milestone in your career. Congrats. What’s one thing you’ve achieved in that time that you never thought possible?
基本上,在过去的十年的经历充满了我从前只能梦想的事情:在全世界的大型音乐节和clubs表演,以及“Rattle”能在UK榜单上拿下了第一。
Basically, the past 10 years have been full of things I could only dream of, from playing the biggest festivals and clubs around the world, to scoring a #1 in the UK charts with “Rattle.”
Who has been your biggest supporter since day one?
那必须是我的父母。他们总是支持我从事这一职业(在我完成学业后,就是这样的)。当然,我的女朋友也很重要。当我离开家的时候,她有一份很棒的工作来维持生活。
That has to be my parents. They always supported me to pursue this career (after I finished my studies, that is). And of course, my girlfriend, who does a great job of keeping things going when I’m away from home.
在这十年间,你和粉丝之间最让你感到最充实最有意义的互动或联系是什么?
What has been the most enriching interaction/connection you’ve had with a fan in the decade you’ve been around?
其实这有非常多的,当然最特别的还是在Paul被诊断出癌症到他去世这段时间。粉丝在这段时间表现出对我和Paul真正的支持。在Paul过世后,我被歌迷们的关心所淹没,这真正帮助我度过了难关。
There have been many—especially during the time when [former partner] Paul was diagnosed with cancer, and then when he passed away. The fans made signs [and] really supported me and Paul during that period. After Paul passed, I was overwhelmed by how compassionate the whole community was. It really helped me pull through.
家庭一直是你生活中很重要的一部分,特别是你的儿子。你能平衡家庭生活和高强度的巡演日常的秘诀是什么?
Family has been an important part of your life, especially with your son. What’s the secret to balancing a demanding tour schedule and life at home?
当我从巡演回来…我会试着不要想太多的工作上的事情,并花时间与我的家人和朋友在一起。我会做些人人都会做的,真正的“正常”的事情。比如当他们下班的时候,喜欢看电影,出去吃饭,买些简单的东西。我们巡演生活是疯狂的,有不一样的一面会比较好。
When I get back from touring... I try not to think too much about work, and spend time with my family and friends. I like to do really “normal” things that most people would do when they get off from work, like watch a movie, go out for dinner, get groceries—simple stuff. Our life on the road is crazy enough; it’s good to have the contrast.
让我们具体聊聊你的新单曲Be With You,它是如何反应了你目前的作为一个音乐人目前的历程?
Let’s talk specifically about the new single on Insomniac Records, “Be With You.” How does it reflect where you are currently in your journey as an artist?
我做好vocal demo已经很长一段时间了,但是当时的制作效果和现在完全不同。当我在前一段时间以前再听这段demo的时候,我想把它全新制作。我有很好的时机去尝试做一些不同于我以前做的东西。为自己保持新鲜感是很重要的,反复重复同样的把戏是很无聊。我们过去不会这样做,未来也不会。
I had the vocal demo around for quite a while, but with a totally different production. When I listened back to it a while ago, I thought about doing a whole new production around it. I had a great time trying to do something different than what I usually do. I think it’s important to keep things fresh for yourself. Repeating the same trick over and over is boring. We never did that, and we will never do it.
完成这首曲子最大的挑战是什么?你有在一些部分付出了比其他曲子更多的努力嘛?
What was the most challenging part about finishing the tune? Did you struggle with any section more than others?
并没有什么挑战,这是我完成过最简单的单曲之一。我很简单开心的就得到了想要的结果,这以前可没发生过。
Not really—this is one of the easier songs that I’ve ever worked on. I was quickly happy with the results, which never happened before!
这首歌制作的时候有特别的人浮现在脑海吗?你要将这首歌献给特别的人的吗?
Was the tune produced with anyone in particular in mind? Did you dedicate it to anyone special out there?
事实上,并没有哈哈。我认为这首歌的歌词适用于许多不同场合。这只是一首表达正沉浸爱情里的歌曲。
Actually, no, haha. I think you can apply the lyrics to different situations. It’s just a being-in-love song!
