Dennis Ferrer nominated for a Grammy

Friday, December 4th, 2009

New Jersey based House music producer DENNIS FERRER has just been nominated for a Grammy for his “Dennis Ferrer Objektivity Mix” of Dido’s “Don’t Believe In Love” (Arista). Talking en route to a gig Ferrer said “I feel honored and lucky at the same time. Very few of us in our genre get the nod of acknowledgement when it comes to being judged in the mainstream.” Adding he found out about the nomination this AM when “Carl Craig sent me a text and said “congratulations on your Grammy nomination”. I texted him back saying “oh, you’ve got jokes now”. I thought he was talking about my new record. Then he called me saying he was serious and my jaw dropped.”

Asked about how he approached the Dido remix Ferrer revealed his usual determined state saying he approached it “like every other one of my records. I made it my own. I’ve never waivered from what I do.”

Dennis is now ending the year with another hit single, this time it’s the vocal driven anthem “Hey Hey” released on his own much respected OBJEKTIVITY imprint.

“Hey Hey” immediately caught on with DJs and with Mixmag UK who gave it a Top Tune review and big UK radio DJ Pete Tong helped the noise too saying the record ‘gives me goose bumps, it’s quality from start to finish; it’s a return to the finest virtues of house music, this is brilliant.’ The single is also notable for having received one of the most rapid reactions in recent dance music history – shooting immediately to #1 on Beatport where it’s still holding three weeks in something no other house track has achieved recently.

Perhaps part of the appeal here is “Hey Hey” is vocal driven and so it’s appropriate that Dennis is now nominated for a Grammy for another vocal driven tune. But vocals aren’t all that’s appealing with “Hey Hey” it’s been drawing attraction for the superb production standards – something Dennis made even clearer when he decided to reveal part of the technical process behind the tune on his myspace blog (and single press release) – Resident Advisor’s reviewer commented – “even a novice like me can often hear how
ridiculously sharp his productions are.”
