  旅行、读书、妻子、孩子,一个都不能少

  S: And how much percentages of your success you think is due to promotion.

  P: Promotion, that's a strange question. It's like somebody suggested that if you promote that, you must be successful. I never believe that. I work at record company and I know the fact that we can take TV adverts all over the world(to promote it). If the record is shit, people still don't like. And I think it's same with DJ. Ultimately, it dose not matter how much you promote. When you are going to a club, you are going to be good. People got to feel it. If they feel good, they will book you. In the world now, there are two things going on. You got a celebrity world, big figures on TV. But it is false. It is like cocaine television that excites everything and speeds everything up. Actually, there's nothing to it. On the other hand, the thing that is really real can be something that is successful. So we stay in the UK in the last 6 years reviving the album sales of the album artists, not necessarily singles. I think the Internet is a great thing. It is liberalizing. Young people on it can find something that is real. But the thing I have to agree to is that they like celebrities. I mean you can hype a DJ. But ultimately, you have experience the DJ in the club. You're gonna hang out to bars and pay your money. If you don't have great experience in the club, you're not coming back. You can propose to people to experience that kind of DJ. He likes it, he keeps listening to it. I do TVs as well. But I can't just read the scripts and pick the songs. I need to be involved in the editorial.

  S:你认为你的成功有多少可以归结为宣传?

  P:宣传?这是个奇怪的问题。就像很多人建议的那样:如果你做了宣传,你就会成功。我从不相信这个。我在唱片公司工作,我知道我们可以在全世界的电视上做广告(来宣传)。但如果唱片什么都不是,人们仍然不会喜欢。这和DJ是一样的。归根到底,这和你做了多少宣传没有关系。如果你去一家俱乐部,你做得很好,人们会感觉到。如果他们觉得好,他们就会预约你。这个世界大致可以分成两个类别。一个就是名人的世界,电视上的大腕,但那都是假的。那就像可卡因电视让每个人兴奋,让世界加速。事实上,什么都没有。另一方面,真正的东西可以很成功。所以,我们在英国呆了六年,振兴专辑歌手的专辑销售。我认为互联网是很好的东西,它很自由。年轻人在里面可以找到真实的东西。但是我不得不同意的是:他们喜欢名人。你可以宣传一位DJ,但是最终你要在俱乐部里感受这个DJ。你想要在酒吧里面消磨时间,花点钱。如果你在俱乐部里面过得不开心,你不会回来。你可以建议人们去听那样的DJ。他如果喜欢,就会一直听下去。我也上电视,但是我不喜欢只是读稿子选音乐。我需要参与到编辑工作中。

  S: That's strange, you've been working with the media, but you don't use a lot of publicity for your music.

  P:I don't know why. Maybe because I have been on the radio promoting everybody else's music.

  S:这很奇怪,你和媒体打交道,但是你不用它来宣传你的音乐。

  P:我也不知道为什么,也许因为我在电台上宣传了其他人的音乐。

  S: And what do you do out of music

  P: I've got a kid and a wife and I read and cycle. I mean I love these. I feel that I enjoy traveling which is the candy of this job, I think.

  S:音乐以外你做什么?

  P:我有一个孩子,妻子,我读书骑自行车。我喜欢这些。我喜欢工作带来的好处--旅行。

  S: And book?

  P: Yes, I would read psychological books at the moment; I used to enjoy reading biography.

  S:还有书?

  P:对,我现在读心理学的书,我以前读传记。

  S: So enjoy your trip in shanghai and thank you for your time.

  P: Thank you.

  S:祝你在上海玩的愉快。

  P:谢谢。

  [背景介绍]

  浩室舞曲:HOUSE是於八十年代沿自 DISCO发展出来的跳舞音乐。 这是芝加哥的DJ玩出的音乐, 他们将德国电子乐团Kraftwerk的一张唱片和电子鼓(Drum Machine)规律的节奏 及黑人蓝调歌声混音在一,House就产生啦~ 一般翻译为"浩室"舞曲,为电子舞曲最基本的型式,4/4拍的节奏, 一拍一个鼓声,配上简单的旋律,常有高亢的女声歌唱. DISCO流行后,一些DJ将它改变,有心将DISCO变得较为不商业化, BASS和鼓变得更深沈, 很多时变成了纯音乐作品,即使有歌唱部分也多数是由跳舞女歌手唱的简短句子,往往没有明确

歌词。 渐渐的,有人加入了LATIN(拉丁)、 REGGAE(瑞格源在西印度群岛)、 RAP(说唱)或 JAZZ(爵士)等元素, 至八十年代后期, HOUSE冲出地下范围,成为芝加哥、纽约及伦敦流行榜的宠儿。

  为什么会叫"House"呢?就是说只要你有简单的录音设备,在家里都做得出这种音乐~House也是电子乐中 最容易被大家所接受的.

  Techno:来源于80年代中期的底特律和芝加哥,在80年代中晚期还只是地下的非主流音乐,到了89~92年间已成为美国舞潮的主宰者。特点是:电子合成键盘的强烈电子声、比利时风格的贝斯击乐声、紧凑、狂乱的能量输出及动感,维持在130~150BPM。

  Trance:TRANCE源于德国的,利用隆隆贝斯声、嘶嘶作响的键盘声制造"催眠"效果。其特点是大量采用电子合成乐器和取样技巧、相当重的贝斯份量、合成的机械键盘声及维持在128~150BPM

  Electro:早在70年代末,80年代初,那时还没有House,Techno...这类玩意儿,电子音乐也较不盛行,只有Electro这类电子音乐而已. Electro可说是纯粹以电子合成器(Synthesizer,长得有点像Keyboard)来发声的音乐,通常蛮轻柔的,且常使用Roland公司的鼓机(Drum Machine)TR-808来发鼓声.德国的Kraftwerk乐团可算是代表. 现在的Electro音色比以前明亮,透明许多.后来一些DJ利用Electro变形成了一种Hip-Hop乐,被称作Old School.现在的Fatboy Slim(流线胖小子)也融合了一些Electro和Old School在音乐中。
