Larse – From Ibiza Sunsets to Launching VASH Recordings on the Virtual Sessions 10/2/25

Larse joins from Dortmund, Germany, bringing his soulful and emotive take on house music to the conversation. Fresh from a trip to Ibiza, he reflects on playing at Six Senses, a sunset performance that coincided with the launch of his new single and his label, VASH Recordings. For him, music is about creating vibes that capture a moment, whether through deep house grooves, soulful vocals, or downtempo textures.

He describes his journey from sampling vinyl as a teenager to producing on an Atari with Cubase in the early 90s, highlighting how limitations pushed his creativity. Today, with decades of experience and millions of streams behind him, his perspective balances artistry with the realities of modern streaming and promotion. While the industry has shifted from downloads to streams, he believes longevity and authenticity remain the real measures of success.

Family plays a central role in his life, with his kids often reminding him of balance between studio time and personal time. He admits that staying fit and managing health is a challenge, but one made easier by the energy of parenthood. His children may prefer hip-hop, but they occasionally peek into his world, bringing a new layer of inspiration.

Looking ahead, Larse is focused on growing VASH Recordings, building it first with his own tracks and eventually expanding to artists he believes in. His advice for upcoming producers is simple: finish your tracks, trust your instincts, and release music you fully stand behind. With new reworks like Chicane’s Offshore on the way, he shows no sign of slowing down.

[Darran]
Hey everyone, welcome back to another episode of the DJ Sessions Presents the Virtual Sessions. I’m your host Darran and right now I’m sitting in the virtual studios in Seattle, Washington and coming in all the way from Dortmund, Germany, we have Larse on the show today. Larse, how’s it going today?

[Larse]
Hi, hello. Hi from Germany. Yeah, I’m good.

[Darran]
Nice. Thank you for being here. I know we had a little bit of a couple reschedules here, but super excited to get you on the show because there’s been some new information that you had come up since the booking of the interview and I want to get right into that and start talking about that because you were recently at one of my destination spots for next year.

Just recently you were in Ibiza and you were there and can you tell us, you know, what you were doing there in Ibiza and how you missed those awesome storms that are coming through right now?

[Larse]
Yeah, I missed them. I just read in the newspaper about the rainstorm that was happening, I think on Monday or something, but I came back last week. So I was there for one week and I did a radio show on Ibiza Sonica Radio to promote the new single and the launch of the label and after that I played a sunset gig at a really, really nice spot.

It’s called Six Senses and it’s one of the most expensive spots on the whole island. You know, it’s a retreat in the north. And I played there like that sunset set in that bay.

So that was kind of nice.

[Darran]
Yeah, I can’t wait to make it over there. Our goal, our plan is to be over in Europe a lot more in the EU a lot more next year. Being stationed out of Berlin actually, working with a partnership that I can’t announce who it’s with yet, but if you go back and look at what we were doing last year in August with Rave the Planet, you kind of get an idea of who we’re talking about and working with over there in Berlin.

But then using it as a launch point to go up to ADE, IMS, Sonar and also be back for Rave the Planet again. Super excited. Had a great time there in Berlin for that.

I’m sure you’ve experienced that before. And you know, it’s an awesome time. I’d never been to something like that in my life with 350,000 plus people.

That was just blew me away. Yeah, it’s crazy. Yeah.

[Larse]
It was awesome. Go ahead. We had that last parade, you know, that former big rave, you know, just in Berlin that took over like for, I don’t know, like 20 years or something.

And there were like a million people, you know, on the streets in Berlin, you know, with the trucks. And so that was crazy at that time.

[Darran]
Absolutely. I’m looking forward to being there again next year. I’ll probably connect with you while we’re there as well.

But hey, enough about what I do and what I’m planning to do. Let’s talk about your plans and what you’re up to. If people don’t know about you, and I always treat it that way when I first interview a guest on the show, we’re going to get to know you a little bit.

If you can describe your music that you play or that you produce in three words, how would you describe it? In three words?

[Larse]
I think it’s house music, but it’s influenced with a lot of soul, you know, soulful vocals, maybe, and some deep house. And it’s, yeah, and it fits to certain feelings, you know, it’s just like emotional, maybe, you know, that’s maybe that kind of, you know, that these are my three words, maybe, you know, to describe it like that.

[Darran]
And while you were in Ibiza, you actually ended up, that was kind of a release party for one of your latest tracks. You had a singer by the name of Obi Frankie on that track. Tell us a little bit about that release.

You had the party on the, wait, was the party on the 18th of September and then the releases on the 19th or was that vice versa? Yeah, right, right, right.

[Larse]
Yeah. I just came to the island on the 17th and I played the radio show on the 17th. Then I had the lounge party on the 18th and the single release was on the 19th.

So I had these three days to promote and to celebrate the launch of the label and the release of the single. So I was there and, yeah, and just meeting with friends and had good food and a couple of wines. So, you know, that’s a good time.

[Darran]
And I saw that in the notes, you had released that at Café Del Mar, is that correct?

[Larse]
No, we just scheduled the lounge party at Café Del Mar, you know, like three months before, but we had to reschedule it and then we went to the Six Senses, which was, you know, the better idea for me, I guess, because it was more intimate and, yeah, it’s a fantastic spot, you know, just up in the north of the island. So you have to check it out. It’s crazy.

[Darran]
When you say up in the north of the island, for those that aren’t familiar with it, I’m not really that familiar with it because I’m going to become familiar with it here in the future. But when you say up north, how far of that is the drive from, say, the main area of Vita?

[Larse]
You know, the main area, you know, it’s like the old town, the port and the airport, you know, this is like just based in the south, you know, where all the clubs are, like Ushuaia, like Hai, you know, this is up in the south. And when you go to the north, it’s like, you know, with the car, it’s like 35, 40 minutes, maybe. OK, it’s not bad.

Not that far, you know, it’s a small island, but the north is more, it’s more calm and super beautiful and relaxing, maybe, you know.

[Darran]
And when you get to travel to these countries, to foreign countries to go play, do you take time off to get to explore and get into the culture of things or, you know, and really like immerse yourself, you know, like touring around looking for the best places to eat and then, you know, taking the sights and all that? Or is it I’m there and then I’m at home?

[Larse]
Yeah, when I got some time, I actually do that. You know, when it comes to the Balearic Islands, you know, it’s like Ibiza, Mallorca, and Formentera, you know, I’ve been there like 25 years now, so I know the spots. But when I go to two destinations where I’ve been maybe the first time, so I try to get, you know, the best local beer, the local food spots and, you know, some or maybe I go to a football match or something like that, you know, if I have the chance.

So I try to connect with people.

[Darran]
Is there one, I’m a huge foodie, is there one restaurant you would suggest to go to that’s like, when I go to Ibiza, I go there?

[Larse]
Yeah, I just recently, you know, my favorite food spot is not on Ibiza, it is on the Sister Island, you know, it’s a small island, you know, where you go by boat, you know, for like 25 minutes. And it’s called Formentera, you know, the little island. It’s called Can Pascale, it’s based in Escalo and it’s the most best.

And now, yeah. Oh, nothing, I was just gonna say it. I can recommend another spot on Ibiza and it’s a little village called Santa Gertrudis and there’s a place called La Finca.

That was really good as well, yeah.

[Darran]
Nice. Well, enough about traveling food, let’s go back to talking about the music. What gives you the inspiration?

You’ve been doing this for a while now, but originally, you know, people find a passion, they find a reason why they want to make music, why they want to be in this industry. And, you know, what was your guiding principle or guiding inspiration for making, wanting to get into this industry and make music? Is there something that’s still there from the original time when you started this and from the beginning days that still is there today or has that changed over time?

Yeah, I think, yeah.

[Larse]
I think the main thing is, like, to have fun, you know, and to, and when you listen to music, you know, when I started, I tried to grab some vinyls, you know, from my dad, you know, when I was like 12 years old. So, and I checked the music and I listened to records like over and over again and it gave me like a good feeling or it gave me something, it touched me. So, and that’s the main point.

And if this still happens, you know, then you want to experience more of that or get going, you know, to listen to more music and maybe you go to create some music. So, and that’s what my way was, was kind of like, you know, I just, I just listened to music a lot and I just bought a lot of records and, and then I tried, and then I bought a computer and then I bought a sampler and then I tried to sample stuff and then do my own beats and then it developed, you know, over the

[Darran]
You know, I was just speaking with a group, a duo out of San Francisco recently and by the name of Late Aster, and they were talking about them doing production on a, using a Tascam four-track mixer.

I don’t know if you remember back in the day, the Tascam. We used to, I used to have one as a kid growing up. My brothers had a studio, my dad purchased one.

So I was like eight, nine, 10 years old back in the 80s playing with this Tascam four-track mixer. They just made a lo-fi album and it just dawned on me when we said, they wanted that lo-fi tape sound though, for what they were looking for, but it just dawned on me, have you got a sampler? I mean, I mean, basically you could throw this into Pro Tools or Ableton or whatever as well, but if you’ve got an old school sampler, what’s that?

[Larse]
But, and you know, when I bought the sampler, I think it was like 1991 or something. So, so there was no Pro Tools, there was no like Ableton. So I got an Atari with Cubase, you know, with that basic, and then I got the sampler.

So, and I tried to sample all of my drums, all of my like strings and stuff. And so I put it all together and then it developed. Then I bought a synthesizer and then I bought a drum machine and then, you know, like.

[Darran]
Well, I guess what popped in my head was the thought is, we were talking about tape drag, you know, and how, if you’re using a four track like that, if you don’t pack your tapes, you know, and make it tight, it can not only would play at different speeds, but it can also drag across the head. But if you had a sampler back in the days, like back in the nineties, you could at least sample that track and it’ll be the same one every time. You’re not gonna have to worry about tape drag when you’re making it.

It just popped in my head. I was like, oh yeah, I didn’t think about that. And if they wanted that tape sound, I mean, I guess they could record it but anyways, technical stuff, we’re not gonna geek out here on all that fun stuff.

But you know, now that with the advent of moving it, you know, to more obviously software-based productions, computer-based productions, you know, producing music does, it stands with spending a lot of time sitting down at the computer, producing tracks, hours sometimes. And I know for myself, just sitting back in this seat alone, back in the studio and again, is that I put on in the last five months, I put on 30 pounds. So I’m in this seat from 6 a.m. to sometimes 6 p.m., 7 p.m. at night, five, six days a week. But I always ask producers, if you’re spending all that time in front of the computer, all that time making beats, and we’re gonna get into running your own label, where do you find free time to stay fit? How do you stay active or keep yourself in a kind of healthy balance of life? I got some kids over here, you know.

[Larse]
I need to be, you know, I got kids and yeah, I try to schedule, you know, my day like the best way I can, but you know, I try to do some sports as well. Yeah, but it’s, you know, but it’s all about the kids, they want to go to the football training, or they want to go like there, and then you have to stay fit. It’s like a lock up, you know, for three weeks and do music.

So these times are over now.

[Darran]
Are they allowed to come in the studio and play with the gear? Do they have an interest in your music side of business?

[Larse]
Yeah, they come just to the studio or they, you know, when I play, just around the corner over here in Germany, maybe they come and join me, you know, when I play, but yeah, but they got their own kind of just interest, and they’re like totally into hip-hop, so it’s not that cool what the old man is doing, so they want the rap thing.

[Darran]
I hear that, you know. That’s okay, maybe they’ll want to become artists and rappers and you’ll help produce their first albums and tracks. Now, you just launched a new label.

Tell us all about that. I’m always excited to hear about new projects, new ventures, obviously new tracks, new albums, but a new label, that’s a pretty big undertaking because we over here at the DJ Sessions, a few years back, we’re looking at starting our own label, and one of the things that got daunting for me was, what do we release? What do we want to sound like?

And as a label, I’m not a producer, I’m not a DJ, so now I’m going to open up the floodgates of taking tracks in, or having the artists we work with and producing tracks, and it just became a whole other company in itself, basically, to do all that, and I know you just started your own label. Is this going to be a label? First of all, what’s the name of the label?

[Larse]
The name of the label is VASH Recordings, and it stands for Vibe at Sunset Hour, so it’s kind of, you know, the name is not particularly specific for one sound, so it’s just for that vibe, you know, it could be like a downtempo track or like a uplifting house track, so it’s, you know, for me, it’s all about the vibe, you know, that the music should give you. And I tried to release, you know, first of all my own stuff, but some stuff, you know, from friends and from colleagues, you know, just all over the world, so I got some demos now, and I tried to make some plans, you know, for the next year, but, you know, the first releases will be tracks of mine, and I tried to build it up that, you know, yeah, so that it’s got a solid foundation, you know, for the next things to come.

[Darran]
I can understand that, because as we were talking a little bit about it pre-show, we’re looking to launch our new music section over here at the DJ Sessions, and, you know, I want to make sure that we’re putting, I don’t want to throw everything that gets submitted to us in there, you know, unfortunately, I’d love to take every single thing in there, but you got to kind of pick and choose what the flavor and flow is, you know, kind of have some standards in there, you know, before you open up those floodgates and really make sure you’re known for having quality releases, you know, ones that are going to, you know, get out there. What, other than your recordings, other than Vash, what are your top five record labels that you think are out there that have constantly been releasing good tracks? Do you have five that you go to, other than Vash?

[Larse]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I just got only one release, but yeah, you know, I have to say it’s Defected, because, you know, I’m still working with them, and I had my biggest tracks just on Defected, and they are like cool guys, and they do their job well. Then I think, you know, the KindaMusic guys, you know, they’re doing like a really good job at the moment, obviously, with their labels. I think, let me know, I’m so bad with the names, but Teardrop is one of my favorite labels, you know, it’s from Lovebird.

My good friend Manuel, too, got his own label, it’s called Space Repetitions, which is really, really great, and yeah, there are tons of labels I like, but, you know, to stand out, or to make a statement, I have to say Defected, because they are like super big, and they pushed my career, and they pushed a lot of careers, you know, of a lot of cool guys, so I have to say Defected.

[Darran]
Yeah, that’s the second time in less than a week that Defected has come up in my wheelhouse of doing stuff and working with people in that area. I recently just reached out to somebody who used to work with them for a number of years, looking to do some work with them as well, so super excited for that. What is the most important thing, though, that you think labels should be doing for their artists, and are they overall doing a good job with that, or have you looked and said, hey, I think I could not necessarily do this better, of course, they might have billions of dolLarse, millions of dolLarse behind them, and can promote and do all that, but is there something that’s like…

[Larse]
That’s one big, big issue, you know, of a label, you know, if they got like billions of dolLarse, so they can promote your track in a big way, so that’s one point, but, you know, I think when you got that feeling that they are just believing in your music and in your track in that moment, that is the main point, or if they’re like, okay, we can do it and we can try and then we put it out and then we will see, oh, it’s not that kind of good feedback, you know, that you get from a label, but if they’re like, man, this is a great record and we do all our best, you know, to get it out and to get it in the right directions and to the right radio stations and to the right DJs and that we kind of go that way, I think that is the main point for me, you know, because that gives you like a good feeling and some confidence that they are working and that they’re doing their job, you know, because at that point, you know, when you have the track and you gave it to a label, so it’s theirs and they have to work it out, so and when you got that feedback and they were like, man, this is cool and we’re doing it and we try to do that, that, that, so I think that makes sense for me, so and that gave me always a good feeling, you know, when I just gave the tracks to the label.

[Darran]
Yeah, I mean, you’re, this is coming from you, you had millions of downloads online, you know, I mean, according to your bio, according to your bio, you’ve had 70 million, oh, 70 million plus plays, not downloads, plays, I get, are plays and downloads, I mean, downloads, obviously somebody’s purchasing it, but a play, I mean, is that, would that be considered, I know that they started years back, started counting YouTube views as, as listens and I believe, I was gonna assume they take Spotify listens as well to help you in those charts, they don’t take them, they don’t count?

[Larse]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, I got, you know, you, so you got Spotify, like Amazon, Deezer, Tidal, Apple Music, so and these are like streams and, at YouTube, so and, and then, yeah, it’s like streaming and, and then you got this, this DJ shops or, or iTunes music, you know, where you can download the track, so and, but, you know, but over the years, you know, it’s like a little percentage of, of the whole thing, you know, it’s, it’s the download, so and, so the streaming is the main part, you know, of the, yeah, of making the money, if you call it that money, because of streaming, because it’s not that money, like, like back in the days, but no, you only have to deal with it.

[Darran]
But, you know, having 200 plus, 200,000 plus listeners on streaming, I’m sure that qualifies for something. Is there, is there a matrix or a model that anyone’s come up with to say, okay, this is how many listeners, this does this, then we can predict kind of what a, what a track is going to do when it gets out there? No, yeah, that was simple.

[Larse]
Maybe, but in my case, you know, I just, no, you know, I just, I’ll record, you know, you know, if I get, you know, I didn’t, I didn’t have any plan, you know, to, or like, I need to do that track, and then I need to do that track, and then I need to do a uptempo track, and when that breaks, I need to step down, so, so I just, I just did my music and tried to, I tried to get it out, and, and thankfully, I got some, some tracks or some records, you know, that were like, like, that, that people loved, you know, and, and, and, and constantly listening, you know, I got this track, you know, this, this remix, you know, from Kenny Stanton, I did in 2012, and it still gains a lot of streams, you know, and it’s like, 13 years now, so, so, and, and that was my, my approach, you know, to get the music out that, that is there, you know, for, for, like, years, and not for, like, four weeks, and then it’s another track, so, and, and I did this, you know, with a few tracks, but, you know, hopefully, with some tracks in the future as well, but there’s no, there’s no kind of prediction, you know, to that, so, you know, I just do it, you know, just how I feel, and just how I, and just how I think it’s, it’s, it’s okay to put it out, and sometimes the timing is cool, and sometimes the timing is bad, so, like that.

[Darran]
Yeah, is there something you’d like to say, I mean, you just kind of brought up a kind of good segue point there, is there something you’d say to new and up-and-coming producers to watch out for when it comes to making their career successful, and taking it more specifically towards, you know, releasing a track, and putting something out there? Any tips, tricks, advice, or anything you could say to them to watch out for when they do that? I think timing would be a huge one, where, when is the right time to release something?

[Larse]
Yeah, you know, I don’t know it either, so, it’s trying, you know, sometimes it’s trying error maybe, but a good advice, you know, that’s how I did it, you know, for myself, it’s to be confident in your sound, and to get it out at some point, and to say, okay, now it’s finished, you know, that mix is cool, so I put it out, I’m looking for a label, or I try to build like an own label, and then to get it out, and if you feel good about the track, and you like the track, and you like the vibe, and it still moves you, get it out, so I think that’s the thing, you know, if you’re not happy with the mix, or if you’re like 80% happy, or 90% happy with the mix, don’t put it out, so make a mix that you are like 100% happy, and try to get it to sync a little bit, and then looking for the right label, you know, for that kind of sound, and keep going, so that’s it.

[Darran]
And if you could suggest, or what, other than your own music, what’s an essential track out right now that nobody should miss out on, that’s like, I love this, and I just put this into my recent stuff that you played in Ibiza, or something like, wow, that’s really, this is something that’s really hot out right now, anything that comes to mind?

[Larse]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think it’s a track from a good friend of mine, a manual tour, and he got this release out on Space Repetitions, and there’s the b-side, and the track is called Sun Collector. Sun Collector manual tour, this is a pretty good track, and I just played it like in every set, you know, since I got it from him, you know, but I think it’s out like two weeks or something.

[Darran]
Do you prefer playing larger scale festivals, or more smaller intimate clubs?

[Larse]
You know, I came from the intimate clubs, you know, and I love that, but I’ve played some festivals the last two years, and that was fun too, but I played, you know, the last festival over here in Dortmund with 5,000 people, and it was like daytime, or from daytime to the nighttime, and I played four hours, and that was nice, so that was fun, but you know, I like both.

[Darran]
I know there’s some DJs out there that definitely will only play, they’ll cap it at like 400, 500, maybe 600 people in a club, so they can actually have that kind of experience of being right there in the mix with the crowd, you know, with the attendees, as opposed to playing in front of 10,000, 15,000, 25,000 people, and they’re up here on stage and far removed from what’s going on. We may be, yeah. Yeah, so it’s always interesting to ask that question, see what people’s preferences are.

If you could host an event without any limitations, you got the Black American Express card, you’re not gonna have to pay it off, what five things would you want to have at that event?

[Larse]
I want to book Stevie Wonder as the main act, that’s for sure. Oh, wow. Wow, you know, this is a crazy question, man.

I think it would be like a really, really nice location, maybe just on the island of Ibiza or maybe, but I think it’s not, it should be not that super big and the DJs have to play like not one hour, so they have to play like four or five hours, you know, that they can tell a story, you know, about their music. That’s what I like, you know, to play like extended sets and get the people, you know, just on a journey and play everything. Yeah, Stevie Wonder is the main thing and I would hire some really, really good chefs and do some good food in there as well, maybe.

[Darran]
What kind of food is your favorite go-to kind of food? You’re talking about foodie over here now, remember that.

[Larse]
Yeah, so it changes a lot, so it changes a lot, you know, I came from and I was, you know, I really like ceviche at the moment, so I’m really into that, but now it’s coming like fall and I don’t know, you know, I really love Italian food, I love Asian food, I love Mexican food, I don’t care, everything. I really like German food as well, you know, but it’s, I don’t care, you know, if it’s good, it’s good, you know.

[Darran]
Yeah, again, me being the big foodie that I am, I love ceviche, it’s great. I found a recent place here in Seattle, they have like 25 different types of ceviche they make every month and so you go in and they have the three different types that week and then they’ll just choose off the board and they’ll go, okay, we’re making these three this week and then we’re making these three this week and go in and they’re, I thought they were going to be like little samplers.

[Larse]
Yeah.

[Darran]
No, we’re talking full bowls, like it was, I didn’t know I was getting that much ceviche, we had to take a bunch of these. Awesome, so yeah, and the different types of, obviously, every type of types of seafood and everything in there was just amazing. I’m a huge ceviche fan.

I noticed that Dortmund is not that far away from Amsterdam. Seems like, I mean, I was just looking on a map there, what, a couple hundred miles?

[Larse]
Yeah, it’s about two and a half hours, you know.

[Darran]
Okay, so less than that then, so I guess I hear a kilometer, so, you know, but my Google pops up with miles.

[Larse]
Yeah.

[Darran]
Are you going to be going to ADE this year?

[Larse]
Yeah, yeah. Awesome. I will be there, you know, with some friends and we stay there from Wednesday to Monday, so we are like the whole extended weekend there in Amsterdam and meeting some friends and attend to some parties and have some meetings over there.

[Darran]
Yeah, I love it. I was there in 2022 and 2033, plan to be back there in 2026. I’m going to be possibly at Dreamfields Mexico this year, next month, so I’m kind of did the travel trip this year, but next year we’ll definitely be there at ADE, looking forward to that with our new partnerships, the companies we work with, super excited for that.

And yeah, you’re right, we usually fly in and get in on a Tuesday morning, flying, you know, 14, 16 hours from where we’re at and then have Tuesday to kind of acclimate and then Wednesday it’s business, Thursday business, Friday business, and then the gear goes away and it’s time to go out and see everything. But I love Amsterdam, beautiful city, great times when we’ve been there, you know, so super excited to be going back to that. Do you make any other events or festivals around Europe, UK or things like that?

Any suggestions you can give to our viewers and or other producers, DJs, electronic music industry professionals to go to while they’re over there?

[Larse]
Yeah, I just played last year, I played the Glitterbox party at high in Ibiza and they are doing like parties, you know, just around the globe, you know, it’s a sub label from Defected, so I know the people, you know, so really well and the parties are really, really cool and so I will attend to that party at ADE and I think they’re doing like a party in Malta next week, so I guess, and I was there last week at Ibiza and they had like hosts like Louis Vega, Amon van Helden and kind of that league, so it’s always pretty cool.

[Darran]
Yeah, and I can’t wait to make the IMS at Ibiza either, I think that’s going to be a really, really fun time. I’ve heard Sonar is pretty awesome as well in Barcelona. Yeah, so I’m going to be going all over the place, it’s going to be some fun and definitely back for Rave the Planet.

[Larse]
I played Sonar in 2009, I guess, so the last time, so and then I was there like 10, 11, so you know, Barcelona is one of my favorite places, you know, just to know what, you know.

[Darran]
For ADE, we’re doing a kind of a partnership with Origami Management and they have a kind of secret sessions party going off that they’re going to be recording the sets for us, so we can upload. That’s at ADE, but talking with Leandro de Salvia, I hope I said that right, please, he’s from Milan, he’s like, you got to get to Milan, you got to have Italian food, have real Italian food from Italy, because the best, like, obviously, I’ve dropped now probably four or five times talking about food in this show and we’re not a food show, you know, definitely getting over it.

[Larse]
Maybe, you know, you have to do this little area, you know, in your show, hey, the best food in town.

[Darran]
Yeah, I would probably call it the DJ Sessions Presents the Food Sessions. Yeah, it’s probably what I’d title it anyways, like, here we are today and we’re eating, I just actually found out how to do that with my phone, my studio, my online studio can actually be done remotely on my phone now, so I could actually be anywhere in the world, not have my laptop lighting set up and just do our whole show right there on location and have everything I’m throwing in, our names and all that fun stuff, boom, and activate our servers and everything from my phone, so I’m super excited to kind of try that out a little bit when I go on remote now on, so I don’t have to carry a lot more setup with me than I normally do, because I got, like, multi-cam setups and all that fun stuff, but if it’s in a pinch and I need to do something really quickly with somebody, it’s like, here we are, we’re live and it’s not, you know, it’s not just an Instagram video or a TikTok video, it’s actually nicely produced and done like the way our show is produced, so other than that, is there anything else you’d like to share with our DJ Sessions fans that you’d like to let them know about?

[Larse]
Yeah, I think it’s, yeah, I can say I did a rework of that, you know, of that famous track Offshore from Chicane, you know, everybody knows that track, and Amada called me and, you know, the label from Chicane and they were like, man, are you up to do a rework, you know, like a 2025, a rework of that track in your kind of sound, and I was like, yeah, I can try, and then I did it, and it’s already finished, and I hope I get the masters to RDE, and I think the record will be out in November, I guess, so it’s, this is the newest info I can tell with you people.

[Darran]
Yeah, I know how non-disclosures work, and then information works when you can’t share everything about it, but awesome, congratulations on that, we’ll look forward to hearing that when it comes out. What’s the best place people can go to find out all the information about you and know about when your new tracks and stuff is coming out from your label and everything?

[Larse]
Yeah, I think the best way is to get on my Instagram page, you know, there’s a link, a link tree, you know, where you find everything, you know, about the label, about the releases, about the bio, and about some streaming I did, and some YouTube sessions I did, and you can stream the records, and it’s Larsea Music, what’s it called, you know? Underscore? Underscore, you know, that’s, you know, okay, Larse_Music, so that’s the right address.

[Darran]
Larse_Music, it’s right there on the screen right below you, our fans can see it, we’ll put it in, we’ll put the links in the bio and everything on the site, but Larse, thank you so much for being here today, we’re gonna look forward to following up with you, we’d like to stay in contact with everyone that comes on the show and up to date, knowing what they’re up to, what projects they’re working on, super excited to see the growth of the label happen as well, and again, thank you for being on the DJ sessions today.
