After the outstanding success of his first three releases on Relic Recordings, projects like "Oxygen" with the support of Marco V, and "Global Warming" with Valentino Kanzyani, DJ Preach goes back to Relic studios to produce another monster track titled "The Bailout".

"The Bailout" has been described by the man himself as one of his most personal creations to the point that he created three additional versions of his original track to satisfy DJs and fans alike. "Hypnotizing" can only begin to describe the melodies imbedded in this masterpiece. Already supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Marco V, Eddie Halliwell and John O’Callaghan!

DJ Preach recruited two special remixers for this project known for their well respected and maverick productions within their own style. These additional remixes landed on the hands of Wehbba's techno and Miko's melodic minimalistic sound.

"The Bailout" will also be released as a special Vinyl edition in December followed by a global digital release on some of the major portals with quotes of some of your feedback!

1- You are playing for more than a decade now; you’ve been releasing music on some of the biggest labels of the dance scene. Why decide now to release on your own label again?
To tell you the truth i have had enough working with other peoples label, i have decided to focus on my own label and invest in something that i know will be working the way i want it. Ive had loads of great opportunities over the years releasing my music on some of the best labels around, in fact Carl Cox and Marco V were the first 2 guys to really believe in me and support my sound worldwide. But at this point in my career i dont see the reason anymore to cover myself under someone else's name to try to get some attention on the scene, i think with the effort of all my team we can make Relic Recordings unique by promoting a new futuristic sound that has proven its effect on the dancefloors worldwide in 2008. Also you have to know that there are alot of sharks in this business and i have been robed a couple times with licenses and records sales... in fact one of the biggest labels (I won’t name) has gone bankrupt sometime ago and we have never got paid for any of the licenses on the big compilations and i won’t even talk about record sales... by the way my biggest seller of all time. It’s just strange that this label was backed by one of the richest dj in this scene...

2- Your new release on Relic Recordings is called 'The Bailout' What is so special about this release?
I like to release something every 2-3 months, i think people get fedup fast with tracks these days and you gotta keep them updated with new tunes as much as you can. This release 'The Bailout' is to commemorate the recent events on wall street. Some of us (including myself) lost alot during the last months and obviously its not only happening in the USA. Many people think we shouldn’t mix music and politics, well in my opinion we have had our share of bad news recently with politicians and i think it’s time we get implicated. People will find on this release a wide range of genres, from progressive house remix to trance remix, we ve made it accessible to your taste. I’ve been really inspired over the last months by the work of Sander Van Doorn, i think he brought a new generation of producers doing something different than the usual trance. I have added to it my own funky rhythm, for me this is the future of trance. The tracks are already supported by the likes of Carl Cox, Marco V, Sander Van Doorn and Marcus Schulz. Dont miss the artwork also, the greedy wallstreet broker getting his ass kicked on the sleeve: D

3- Tell us about your recent trips
Ive been busy this year as usual but i must say it has been quite different overall than my previous years. When i moved from montreals a couple of years ago I was mainly playing Spain and Holland but things have change alot for me in 2008. I’ve started playing some of the best venues in the UK and also all around Canada (From East to West coast). Which is great because it made me discover the wonders of my own country, god it’s so BIG! I wanna talk about the UK because it has been a revelation for me this year, especially with Goodgreef and their crew. I had my own pre-conception of the UK, I mean it’s where alot of djs became hugely famous... so that made me kinda nervous at the begining because I knew I had to deliver big time. Also the attitude of people is quite different than many other countries I’ve visited, they are old school and that’s quite rare to find. At least in the parties I played I’ve seen a younger generation of clubbers/ravers dressed like back in days when i started (1995)... It reminded me why i got into this 13 years ago; the spirit! I’m regularly posting video of places where I perform on my website www.djpreach.com/media

4- We heard you have recently became a father, how can you deal with this at this moment of your career.
I have to say i am really suprised how me and my wife deal with that. I think it has been so tuff on us the last 2-3 years because of the non stop travelling that this became just as a way for us to settle down together in one house and take it as “a pied a terre” and not just float around all the time between Europe and Asia. I still accept all my request for gigs around the world but i wont go away for a few weeks like before, I’ll make it a shorter trip and make the best of it in a few days instead of spreading it all. It’s just about getting organised. Our baby girl is so beautiful, for me it’s the best thing that could have happened this year. I’m going to fight for her and bring her what she needs whenever she needs it. Not only it has given me motivation to work harder as a dj and producer but it has taken me into a much more meaningful way of living. I don’t know how to explain, I’m sure all fathers feel the same way as i do. By the way I’m not off the booze because of that.

5- Where is preach taking us in 2008
Nothing less than 2008, in fact my diary for 2009 is already set until summer time. We have a big tour coming up in the Americas, starting from March I will be touring South America, Central America and North America with over 30 cities on the bill. I also dont want to miss WMC but then again i don’t know if there will be time. Hopefully i will be there for the Fire it UP night with Eddie Halliwell that should be pretty crazy. For the first time also i will be touring the Eastern Canadian coast, I’ve been there a couple of times but that will be different next year i will be spending 2 weeks over there to cover the clubs and parties of the maritimes. In total I should be covering about 100 000 miles in 3 months. I will be back for the summer gigs in Europe from June so stay tuned for that. Also my radio show 'Transatlantic' is going better and better we’ve had already since the begining over 25 guest djs from around the globe, our radio broadcast is growing bigger as well and I’m only waiting for confirmation on a few stations in the UK. Till then people can check out my website in the radio section to get more info and listen to the podcast. www.djpreach.com/radio.
