INTERVIEW with Onno van Kemenade & Joel de Vriend from Armada Music

Dancefair 2015 took place in Jaarbeurs,Utrecht from 21st to 22nd of February with considerable success.

At the Drop Demos session organised by Armada Music & Cloud 9 I met Onno van Kemenade, A&R at Armada Trice and Joel de Vriend, A&R at Armada Captivating. I asked for an interview and I'm very glad they accepted the challenge. In this interview I asked them about the future releases of their labels. If they have found new tracks at the drop demo session so far. Why the think is important for an artist to be signed on a record label such as Armada Music. Do they discover often fresh tracks with original ideas or the majority of them tend to copy paste ideas from the successful tracks on beatport? Where is the biggest audience for Armada Music? Do they consider music video important tool for promotional activities? Is beatport or Spotify more important for Armada Music? Can artists make a descent leaving out of music productions? Why is so vital to be included in the playlists of the radio shows of well known djs such as ASOT or Hardwell on Air?

Certainly there are more questions to ask and more answers to find but their main priority those two days was to listen as many demos as they can from many young hopeful producers.

Thanks very much to both of them for this interview
