It's a remix but I think it still counts: 'The age of love'. And indeed 'Right in the night' and 'Power of american natives' takes me back to being a fresh faced teenager 😁

I first heard Stella on Pete tongs “essential selection “ on a Friday night in the UK , 30 years ago and it blew me away and still does, it is a timeless masterpiece 🌍

Stella is one of the greatest Electronic Music Tracks Alltime. This is a Milestone. I remember of 1992 i was 17. What a Great Time

Twan you really nailed it here mate! Not so be morbid at all but surprisingly these guys are advancing in age now and there will be a day when they are no longer with us and interviews like this will be impossible. You are surely aware that you are capturing music history for posterity and it’s value cannot be understated. Sincere thanks dude!

DANCE 2 TRANCE tracks 'We came in Peace', 'Hello San Francisco', 'Take a Free Fall' are still huge in my books, and then the Jam & Spoon 'Stella', 'Oddyssey to Anyoona', 'Follow Me', 'The Future is in Small Hands' tracks! Outstanding legendary tunes! These guys are are beyond legends, they are gods in the Trance and Techno scenes.

Amazing interview, such a humble guy. RIP Mark Spoon

I like this guy, talks openly and passionately about his music and with some humour. Looks like a easy interview from your side when he's so willing to open up, nice job

Seriously though, this man is an Icon in Dance music, especially for us Tranceheads and the Techno scene. And yet he is so humble. Twan, well done on this one!

We used to wait for the DJ to play this track back in '92. I remember(ish) being right up front, inside the smoke machine/strobe haze when the DJ (forget who) dropped the track and somehow performed an amazing 20-30 minute (vinyl) mash up of every one of the Stella mixes that were out at the time.

The drums from Stella were sampled by Go (Woodtick Mix) and Moby in return remixed Stella and then again return remixed Go. Geniuses remixing geniuses!

What a nice guy. Yet another interview that makes me feel warm about my youth.

Tripomatic Fairytales 2001 is one of my most favorite albums of all times. Thank you Jam and Mark!

That´s one of the best interview I love most! I love Jam´s philosofy! At 10:05 Jam says how supose should be a dj like in the 90´s, no matter what style you play, people enjoy, today I still strugle with that! I think that´s the pure dj essence, be original, play what you want, not what the market, labels, managers want! I talk by experience, because I´m a House, Trance and big room dj , but also I have another artist profile for techno! I don´t belive that all djs feel complete good to play/producing only a style during their careers, that´s my opnion !

I legit had a smile from ear to ear the whole interview and even some really heavy wet eyes at some points. Fantastic job Twan

Lovely guy and amazing music. Brings back many happy life changing memories

I will never forget being completely dumbfounded by "Jam & Spoon - Follow Me" Ok under the influence of cannabis, but I remember seriously thinking something was walking behind me even though I was sitting..the track completely done something I can't explain.

A really great interview Twan!! And Jam El Mar is such a nice guy. I also always loved my first fantastic F.F.

These are such important interviews. Jam El Mar's music has touched millions, if not billions, of people. Producers like him and Mark Spoon were pioneers of dance music at a time where very little was done to record the movement apart from the odd TV programme or magazine interview here and there. In one way it's what made that time so special (no phones, no social media, no internet) but looking back it's sad that all there is is memories. Your interviews are a much-needed archive and record. The producers you interview are often humble and seem uncomfortable talking about themselves and their work. Hopefully as you do more of these that will change and they'll become more at ease with how much their music impacted clubbers and the world and more relaxed talking about it.

I have been fond of his productions from the early days starting with Jam & Spoon and Dance 2 Trance. I have got to meet him a few times and its always a pleasure to chat with him. He is such a humble person and a great producer. His DJ sets are on point as well. They create a perfect atmosphere for dancing. I look forward to the two other interviews.

Madonna & pet shop boys often used the same remixers. I wish Madonna invited jam & spoon to remix a song of hers. the remix of yesterday when I was mad, is so chillingly amazing. the psb said in an interview, one of their favorite remixes was jam & spoon remix of young offender.

If I ever have the chance to interview Rolf again, "Right In The Night" is definitely one I would love to talk with him about. I'm a big Jam & Spoon fan myself and "Right In The Night" is one of my favorites as well. I did pick "Stella" since it was the breakthrough track for the guys; the track that started it all for Rolf and Markus and their Jam & Spoon project. Plus Rolf named his daughter after the track, how cool is that? And now I could ask a bit about the Age Of Love remix as well ;-) Anyway, I'm super happy that Rolf took the time to do 3 interviews for my channel. So I did pick 1 track from each of his 3 most well known projects which would be (in my opinion) the most interesting one to talk about. The "problem" with people that have so many amazing tracks, is that I have to make choices. For example, I want to know the story behind "Follow Me" as well and also the Storm track "It's Time To Burn". So I hope I will ever have the chance to visit Rolf again and talk with him about those as well. So.... don't be sad and stay tuned ;-)

Amazing! What a lovey guy. Such a huge inspiration in my own music. Huge respect.

He very much still feels the emotion of losing his dear friend. His spiritual connectivity is strong.
