Hey Jacob Colon, how are you?

I am great. I feel very positive about where things are headed regarding my releases on my label, I’m making new connections with other music artists/labels and my radio show ‘Made to Move Radio’ has continued to grow and expand to more radio stations.

“Heat” is out now, can you tell us what inspired you to produce this track?

The inspiration behind this track was to deliver something with a lot of energy to get the dance floor moving. I think I did that well with how I delivered the overall groove of the drums and bass alongside the big synths that carry out a really dope melody.

Are there any sound or genre explorations you made while working on the song?

Believe it or not, a lot of the elements I used are RnB sounds. Up until that last drop, most of the sounds came from a synthesiser keyboard. With some additional plugins like distortion, compression and others, I was able to use the sounds as leads to drive the song.

Which part of the song did you start working on first?

Always the drums.

Is there an element of the track that’s your favorite?

I think the bass is hot and carries the vibe very well. That combined with the moody elements created a dope vibe that I think everyone will enjoy.

Which element of the track would you say is signature Jacob Colon?

The drums and bass create a nice vibe.

How many versions of this track did you work on to get to the final result?

Not many, but I did go back and forth a few times during the mixing session to really get the right levels.

How does this track compare or differ from your previous releases?

I think my sound is getting better. Every week I try to do something new to my productions to help give it more drive, create a bigger feeling, or simply a better mix before the mastering process.

Can you describe ‘Heat’ in one sentence?

It’s a vibe.

How would you like people to feel when listening to this track?

The best feedback is no words at all. Watching someone’s facial expressions change while listening is the best type of compliment for a musician.

What’s next for Jacob Colon?

I have a weekly program titled ‘Made to Move Radio’ where you can find my latest productions and music that I select to feature every Monday on Soundcloud, Mixcloud, Apple podcasts, Google podcasts, and other platforms.

We enjoyed speaking with Jacob Colon about his latest release “Heat” and the creative process behind it.
