VillanZ is a 20-year old Portuguese DJ who has had releases on Revealed Recordings and Quartzo Records. He's received support from some of the biggest names like Hardwell, W&W, Martin Garrix, Ummet Ozcan, and Blasterjaxx to name just a few. HIs latest track with STVW is out now!
How did you go about learning how to produce when you were first starting out?
I was listening to a pop song called “Alors on Danse” and I liked the track so much that I wanted to start making music. I literally searched for “How to make music” and found the FL Studio Demo. Since then, I've been producing for two years. I always focus on quality than quantity because I don't want to just release a lot of meaningless tracks. I do music for love.  

What have you done to streamline your production process to stay organized and keep track of everything?
I'm actually very messy but I’ve found that working with stems makes it a lot easier to check what the track is missing and where you can add in more details to make the track pop.
How was having an official release on Revealed Recordings a game changer for you?
Revealed was something that seemed so far out of my reach when I first started out but now I’ve found that it’s entirely doable with the proper time commitment and dedication to making the best track that you chan. We spent about three to four months working on “Braa” and in doing so, it also helped me become more open-minded towards other genres. Having that release on Revealed makes it way easier to contact bigger artists and work with them on future tracks. now for me this wasn't just a release was a track that hardwell really loved and worked so good at the festivals and clubs at that point nobody did a brass horns breakdown theme

Walk us through the creation of your latest track out on Revealed, “Lean Back.” 
STVW and I actually finished this track in about five days. He had the original idea for it but was unhappy with the break so he sent it over to me. I worked on it and sent him the stems for what I had come up with. We did a final Skype session to go over the track one last time and then it was complete!

What’s coming next for you?
All I can say is that there’s going to be more music under some great labels! I’m about to finish my collab with Mainstage Artists, Happy Enemies, and it’s already been premiered by Blasterjaxx! There’s also going to be some fire coming from me and Montblaq so there’s a lot to look forward to!
A big thank you to VillanZ for taking the time to answer our questions!  Be sure to follow him on socials for all the latest updates!
