Paris Blohm is one of the biggest up and coming producers in the world. We have posted some of his tracks on the site and every track he puts out is a huge banger. Some of his past greats have been "Miracle" and "Presence" both of which are very popular among the EDM world. I had the chance to ask Paris a few questions including who he would like to collaborate with, his thoughts on the drug scene in EDM and what his dream gig would be! So check it out below as well as his favorite track of his Presence, which is below as well!
1. When did you begin producing and DJing?
When i was 15 years old, back in 2005.
2. What got you into the EDM scene?
I had always been a fan of dance music, listening to Tiesto, Darude, Armin back in 1999/2000.
3. If you could pick one DJ to collaborate with on a track who would it be and why?
Thats a hard question but probably someone like Porter Robinson who is up to pushing the boundaries on dance music. I like to be pushed and learn new things. Collabing with Alesso would also be awesome because his simplicity and catchy melodies are golden.
4. What is your favorite sub-genre of EDM and why?
I love producing progressive house / big room house. But to listen I love Drum n Bass and stuff like that.. I'm all over the place.
5. My personal favorite track of yours, along with many other people out there, is "Presence". Can you give us your favorite track and why it's your favorite?
Presence is still probably one of my favorite tracks I've made, just because of the meaning behind it. Maybe you can just enlighten the readers why I made it instead of having me spill my heart .
6. Im sure you have heard about Kaskade's rant on twitter about UMass-Amhert's decision to ban all EDM events from the school, citing the recent deaths at EZoo and Zedd's concert in Boston. What is your reaction to this?
Drugs are part of the scene, its a fact. I won't keep it a secret, I did my fair share when I was younger and I've been to more raves than I could count. My heart is with the crowd, and I see their perspective... but some people DO overdo it. There's a limit and there's responsibility, and the kids have to take that into consideration. If you want to do drugs, that's your choice, so do them responsibly, and if not then more power to you!
7. What has been the most exciting part of your young career so far?
I played to 10,000 people in San Diego Sports Arena.. I played mainly originals as well. It was amazing.
8. What is your dream gig?
Mainstage EDC.
9. What would be your advice to a young kid or adult who wants to produce and DJ but doesn't know where to start or how to promote themselves?
Start making music, and be okay with sucking for a LONG time. The key is to never give up. I sucked for 6-7 years, sometimes I STILL think I suck. Just keep pushing.
10. Can you tell us about what you are working on now as well as any shows you are playing at in the near future?
