Loöq flagged down Jan van Lier in the midst of his South America tour.  His new single “Comet” is out today on Loöq Records.

Loöq: What was your inspiration for the track “Comet”?

JvL: I do a variety of styles. Some tracks are full-on dancefloor mayhem (One Through Seven, DeepRush, etc) and others more euphoric melodic dance music (Rishada, Comet, etc...) For me it’s important to keep a balance because it allows me to stay fresh and not get hung up on a particular sound.

Comet started off with just trying out a few different sounds and modulations, and building the rest of the track around that. It ended up as a nice and big track to play towards the end of a set to have people reflect on the night they just had, which hopefully was a great one.
