[14.10.07] Exclusive Interview with Sugar Free EDM Club Edition producer, DJ Ferry On September 24th, T-ara dropped a digital album of 18 remixes (in Korean and English) of their latest hit Sugar Free featuring numerous producers such as DJ Jeffery Choi, DJ Beatrappa, DJ Dion , DJ Big Bounce, Monster Factory and more. Amongst them, serving the title track to the remix album, was DJ Ferry. Diadem got the chance to ask some questions for an exclusive interview with the up and coming DJ who is bridging the gap between EDM and K-Pop. Hello! Could you start off with giving us an introduction about yourself? Hey, I’m Ferry EDM DJ/Producer from Calgary but currently live in Seoul-South Korea. First of all, congrats on the release of your Sugar Free remixes! Could you tell us how this collaboration with T-ara came into being? Many Korean know me as Kpop remixer here in Korea, I’ve done with many official & unofficial K-pop stuffs but I have to thank DJ Koo to introduce me to CCM. What was your experience like working with T-ara? What were your impressions of the girls? Honestly I didn't meet em too long but they are first of all cute (Qri and Jiyeon) and seem pretty fun girls! By any chance were you a fan of T-ara beforehand? Frankly I’m a K-pop lover but not really fan of particular Idol group, I like CL tho. Could you tell us why it was decided to record the Sugar Free remixes in English? Were you apart of the process to rewrite the song into English? No I wasn't- IDK probably they had plan to push it into EDM markets! EDM is something completely new in the K-Pop scene. What do you think about it? Do you think it can catch on and become popular? EDM is already popular since few years ago, I guess combination of EDM/Kpop isnt a right solution tho’. Are there any other K-Pop groups, or any artist, you would one day like to work with? YG Family How did you become a DJ and what are you favorites aspects of DJing? Could you also tell us your process on how you re-imagine and remix a song? I’ve played piano since I was 11, was a band member at highschool, But I really dont know why I’m DJ now, I neva eva regret tho’ hehehe First of all try to make a frame for my remix in my head then color it depend to the original track and then try to fix colors in my DAW and its all! Are there any other DJs or artists who inspire you? Maybe Deorro/Harwell and many Australian DJ/Producers. You are also the General Producer and CEO of your own company, CINO Entertainment. Could you tell us a bit about your record label? We do many things here with my guys (Beatrappa, TERA, Noke & ...) but main projects go around EDM & remix. We did many official remix for Korean artists. They love how we make their tracks active, aggressive, massive and powerful! Are there any of your own activities and promotions currently ongoing? Working on a collaboration with DJ BL3ND with Korean duo Crispi Crunch, FBTA - ZZang ZZang Man will release next week and many other projects that I think you ain't interested about em! What’s your favorite event you got to DJ at? I was at many festivals but honestly I wanna be part of UMF what I couldn't get it so far! Could we possibly look forward to more collaborations between you and T-ara in the future? No doubt Any final words you’d like to offer Queen’s? I just wanna say you QUEEN'S are just awesome. You're the best fans I’ve seen so far! We thank DJ Ferry for his time and brining his music to Queen's. Grab DJ Ferry's EDM remix of Sugar Free on iTunes.

UPDATE: Hyomin's t-shirts are completely sold out according to T-ARAholic's Goods Store. Congratulations to those who got one! Non-T-ARA stuff in spoiler Y (Youkyoung) is the AoA member who played the drums with AoA's band component but she is not a member of AoA's idol component. Since AoA has all but abandoned their band concept, Y no longer has a place in AoA, at least not until they decide to revisit that concept. We might be the only BeBop fans.

Don't wanna brag, but... I brought two. XDD I honestly don't know what I'm gonna use it for. Was strongly against buying it at first, but after seeing Hyom-oppar with the dog... *raise fist to the air, start cursing CCM / MBK* We all wants the model *cough*.
