NATHASSIA welcomes everyone into her sonic world once again; this time she introduces ‘Bang the Drums (D-Licious Mix) – Miami Special’, a new Latin House inspired track that aims to make everybody dance and feel good. Following releases like ‘Lair (Special Tee & Andreas Fox Remix)’ and her masterful work curating her radio show ‘Goddess Is A DJ’, NATHASSIA lifts the veil and lets us in on the process of working on ‘Bang the Drums (D-Licious Mix) – Miami Special’, as well as talked about her radio show and upcoming projects.
- Hello NATHASSIA, how are you?
I am good thank you for asking
- Can you walk us through the process of working on ‘Bang the Drums (D-Licious Mix) – Miami Special’? How did the initial for the track idea started?
I wrote the original song “Pagan Goddess (Bang the Drums)” a few years ago for my debut album, but I wanted a South American Latin House vibe, so I approached D-Licious for a remix, they were referred to me by Eddie Gordon (CEO Kings of Spins)
- What influences does the track have?
I was born in a diverse household with an Indian mother born in Suriname, South America, and a Dutch father, which means that I like to mix up the styles from my multicultural roots, between diverse cultures and hopefully bringing people together. Hopefully that comes across in the track
- How long did it take you to finish working on the song?
All in all, it took about 4 weeks to finish the song
- How does this track differ from your other releases?
This one is more Latin House than my other releases, great to dance to!
- What did you wanted to achieve sonically with this release?
I wanted to achieve the feeling of dancing on a beautiful beach as the sunsets
- How would you describe a ‘Miami Special’?
The Special was a mix from this year’s Miami Music Week for my Radio Show, and I wanted to include this song as part of the show
- Can you tell us more about your DJ show, what can we expect in the near future?
My ‘Goddess Is A DJ’ Radio show has been gaining a lot of traction this year with many millions of listeners each week in 31 countries. I feel incredibly blessed that the show gets such great reactions from listeners all over the world. In addition to streaming my monthly live show, I am working on livestreaming the weekly radio show later in the year, which will be great fun!
- What are you currently working on?
I am working very hard on my next single, I am just back from filming the music video at Miami South Beach and South America which was awesome!
