"We started working as DJs at a
time when a DJ was still a freak and not cool at all. The enjoyment
in the music was the main thing for the DJ then. With the album
title we want to give the listeners our conception of a DJ: a DJ is
someone who plays records and wants to party with people. In the
90's, the DJ has gradually become a very powerful man who can make
many important decisions all at once because he has been given
another role over the years. The 90's were the start of DJ culture
and this is continuing in the new millenium. Everything to do with
the DJ, which includes club culture, club wear and party flyers,
i.e. practically everything that sums up night life, is so exciting
that we wanted to deal with this theme on our album."
- Blank and Jones on the way they conceive themselves as DJs.
"We are pursuing several goals with DJ Culture. Because our DJ name
is on the album we thought it was important that the CD would be a
typical Blank & Jones DJ team set. Despite the success of our first
(european release only) album In Da Mix, most of the buyers know us
mainly as DJs. And with DJ Culture, they should get exactly what
they expect of a DJ set from us. The album has therefore been
remixed and there are not only three up-tempo hits with the rest of
the tracks being chill-out album fillers. No, the whole album is
full of tracks which we play in the evening because we want to
enable our fans to take the authentic Blank & Jones feeling home
with them. We also want to comment on our musical development and
expand our range. In addition to several electro tracks and the EBM-style
Waste Your Youth, Nightfly Reprise bears the classic hallmarks of
contemporary British breaktrance."
- Blank and Jones on the album DJ Culture.
