In an age where music genres evolve faster than ever, there remains a unique charm in rediscovering sounds from the past and breathing fresh life into them. The much-buzzed-about track “Have It All” does precisely this, taking listeners on a nostalgic trip down the corridors of early Future House. Infused with the essence of pioneers like Tchami and Fox Stevenson, yet layered with its distinctive flavor, Ronko’s tune celebrates both past inspirations and future aspirations.
As the track’s backstory unfolds, from its initial creation in 2013 to its recent resurgence, we get a peek into the ever-evolving world of Future House and the passionate artists behind the music that keeps us moving. As you gear up to dive into this sound sensation, take a moment to get acquainted with the story, sweat, and uncertainty that went into crafting “Have It All.”
Can you describe the inspiration behind this new track? What makes it unique in the genre of future house?
When we created this track in 2013, artists like Tchami and Fox Stevenson were significant sources of inspiration.
While we drew inspiration from their music and aimed to infuse it with our unique touch. We intended to craft a track that DJs could seamlessly incorporate into club sets while also being radio-friendly, which is a challenging feat.
Looking back, I believe we’ve made substantial progress in achieving this goal.
How did this collaboration come about, and what was it like working together?
During that period, CHOCO and I spent countless hours in the studio, making music across various genres, often just for fun.
We experimented with different musical styles and exchanged feedback on each other’s track concepts. One day, CHOCO introduced an impressive acapella to the studio, the “Have It All,” vocal. This prompted us to create around twenty to thirty versions spanning diverse genres and styles. We even made a dubstep version, a far cry from today’s final version.
How do you see the future house scene evolving, and where does this new track fit within that vision?
Considering that “Have It All,”was created so many years ago, it radiates a vibe from the “Eearly Future House” period. So maybe the time might be ripe for a big comeback of this sound. However, it’s always good thing if genres keep evolving by trying out some new weird stuff. I’m presently delving into uncharted territories, experimenting with fresh styles that could potentially steer the Future House genre in an entirely new direction.
Can you share any memorable anecdotes or experiences from the production of this track?
There have been numerous memorable moments in the studio. Recently, we endeavored to create an improved and more contemporary version. Over a full month, we reconstructed each element of the track, benefiting from our enhanced production skills compared to a decade ago. Interestingly, during this process, we eventually realized that we couldn’t surpass the original. In collaboration with the label, we concluded that it was best to utilize the older version. Ultimately, all the efforts we invested in attempting to enhance and recreate the track were all for nothing.
But… at least we tried.
Yet another unforgettable moment occurred when we discovered that the track had been circulating on the internet as a Tchami for a considerable duration. This was one of the most prominent unidentified tracks within the Future House Scene for some time. The track generated substantial anticipation, and we were deeply flattered that individuals would liken our work to that of such a legend.
Lastly, what can fans expect from you all shortly, beyond this collaboration? Any exciting projects or developments you can share?
I’m very excited about our collaboration with FHM for the launch of “Have It All,” and this excitement extends to our future projects together. I’ve sent them some new track ideas, and ongoing discussions regarding potential new releases are underway. So maybe we might have some exciting new music on the horizon 😉
