After releasing tons of vinyl singles, American producer Rick Wade iscoming back with his new album - "The Good, the Bad & the Deep".
It was a good occasion to talk to him about his career of electronic
music producer.

- You were growing up while you were listening to classic blackmusic - jazz, soul and funk. How important was that for yourpresent productions?
- The classics are very important to my present day productions. Not somuch the actual tracks themselves, but their rhythms, their melodies andthe emotions they stirred within me back when I was young. It's thatrhythmic emotion, that element of soul I try to incorporate into all of myproductions. I want my tracks to connect with the listener and for a brief
moment, allow the listener to feel the intense emotions that I feel, totransport the listener to my world.
- Do you think that house and techno are modern successors ofblack music tradition?
- Not so much successors, but more like live branches on the constantly

- Not so much successors, but more like live branches on the constantlyevolving Tree of Soul.
- You are connected with two the most important cities forelectronic music - Chicago and Detroit. Which one had more
important influence on your music?
- As far as the groove within my music, I'd have to say that spending thesummers with my aunt and uncle on Chicago's Southside had the mostinfluence on my music. But the overall style, the pumping, banging feel I try
to incorporate into most of my productions is a distinctly Detroit element. Itwas Detroit that introduced me to the dynamic factor.
- Why did you concentrate in your own productions on house nottechno?
- I don't have anything against techno (as long as there's a groove in it).
It's just that most of the instrument sounds and melodies I like tend to lendthemselves more to the creation of house than they do the creation oftechno.
- Why did you decide to record a new album - "The Good, the Bad &the Deep"?
- I have what I like to call an "arsenal of tracks" meaning at any given time;
I'm sitting on about 15-20 unreleased tracks. Sometimes, those tracks
demand to be released faster than one 12" at a time.

- The album contains a lot of energetic deep house tracks. Why did
you record so rhythm-oriented stuff?
- That's just my style. I like rhythms and melodies, but I also like a banging
energy level. I love to dance, so a lot of my productions are made for me todance to. Just because it's deep, doesn't mean it's sleepy time.
- "Only Love" is sung by Marissa Guzman. Why did you choose touse her vocal only in one track?
- We are definitely going to be doing more vocals together in the future andon the "Melancholy of Rick Wade" I used some more of her vocals to makea sweet haunting melody. I really like Marissa's vocal style and we've
always talked about doing a track together, but just never got around to

always talked about doing a track together, but just never got around tomaking it happen. So one day I sent her a track I had made and asked her
would she consider doing some vocals for it. She agreed and the rest ishistory.
- The album opens with "Hip Jazz Interlude". Didn't you have anappetite for put on the record more that more downtempo tracks?
- For this particular album, I was feeling a more energetic vibe, but I think I
may put out a limited release down tempo album later this year. I'm a big
hip-hop fan. MF Doom and Madlib are my current two favorites.
- Your music from the album is very sexy. Where is the secret ofcreation of such feeling?
- People say that to me a lot. I don't set out with the intention of making a"sexy track", so I'm not exactly sure myself of how that happens. I do try toput a bit of myself into each track, so maybe it's that small part of "me" ineach track which makes them sexy... I'd like to think so anyway, LOL!

ulotne brzmienie obrazu- Vinyl sales aren't what they used to be and lots of electronic mediums
have made their way into the market, but I still use my same philosophy
when making a track that I used 17 years ago; if it's got a good groove andI can vibe to it, then it's cool.
- How are you seeing the future: do you think that Internet (MP3,free downloading) will kill electronic scene based on traditional
basis (vinyl, CDs, labels etc.)?
- I've pressed up some CD's and am looking into doing MP3 downloads aswell, but I also love vinyl and will continue to make vinyl until there's noplace left to press records. Even if the only two people left making vinyl
records are Huckaby and I, I'll still keep pressing them. I'm also a realist
and I do see vinyl's final sunset on the horizon. However, I love the music
first and foremost so as long as I have a way to express myself musically,no matter what the format, I'm cool.
