Jan Canters
Herentals
My name is Jan Canters and I’m from Herentals in Belgium. Since the late 90’s, I’ve been on a great musical journey. During that period the sound of Drum’n’bass got my attention. It started with music from Roni Size, Hype, Zinc, Peshay, Bad company you name it! During this period I came across a lot of different subgenres , which all had and still have a great influence on my musical inspiration and production. With getting older the urge for getting my own hands on the production side was growing. So, in 2007, (also my first year in university) I started making drum’n’bass with reason 4. After 3 years messing around with reason 4, I slowly made a change to Ableton. Nowadays I’m using both rewired, but Ableton just rocks .
When it comes down to music I really try to do my own thing and try to create different styles or let’s say moods. When I’m listening to music, I try to stay away as much as I can from drum’n’bass and listen to non-electronic music and hiphop. It’s really there I get most of my inspiration for my tracks. I love to experiment and be creative with samples and vocal snippets. I don’t want to make mindless music, so I always try to put a certain mood or vibe in my tunes, depending on how I feel. I tend to bring the soul and various vibes in my tracks, I like to set a mood to express myself through music. I’m not only making tunes to express myself but also to get people moving on the dancefloor! I think some of my tracks can also be categorized as easy listening music, tracks that you would enjoy after a hard day at work or during your daily run. In the drum’n’bass scene nowadays there are a few big producers who inspire me such as Lenzman, Calibre, Random Movement, Intelligent Manners, Marky, SPY, Furney, Spectrasoul, Dbridge, Mutt, Dynamic, Dj Chap, Command Strange, Smote, Flame, Duoscience, … They make the kind of drum’n’bass music that I love, that I would play in my mixes, that gives me inspiration for my own music.
