Me counting down the biggest dance songs in the country.
This is America's Dance thirty.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Congratulations on the incredible success of Into the Blue with
Camille and it going number one on the Billboard charts.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Crazy. I just got the text.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I actually was not expecting it because there's so many
amazing records that are like that have like the era
going up, so I'm super nervous about whether or not
we're gonna get it. But thanks to you guys playing it.
I got a text from my team like on what's
that and it was like, you got number one this
week and I was like, I was like, what do
you mean. It's my first like EP so I haven't
(01:05):
had any like moments like this yet, so this was
like one of the first moments. I was just like, Okay,
I guess I was like kind of like in tears,
I go to my roommate and I'm like, hey, I
think we're number one on Billboard this week, and he's like, what,
So I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That is so awesome and I always love hearing that
when somebody reacts to their first number one.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So congratulations.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I can't wait to talk about how this song was
born with Camille, especially since I saw who some of
the co writers are, which are amazing. But first, let's
get to know will sas a little better. With Thinky's first.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I'm scared, don't be scared.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Blondeish had the same reaction, and then literally after the
first question she's she's like, oh these are easy.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, okay, all right, let's let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So I always love finding out the origin story of artists.
I read that you were already playing guitar as a
toddler and then already DJing in high school.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, so the.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Djane basically came out of me growing up in New York.
That's really like the origin of a lot of my music.
I feel like that's why I still live here. But
it's just like I was sneaking into clubs when I
was sixteen, So I was I was before I could
sneak into clubs, I was kind of banging on the
pots and pads. I was that kind of kid, so
(02:33):
like we had a toy guitar when I was a toddler,
I have a photo would be like playing guitar for
like whatever, like family was over at the house, just
like trying to entertain. And I was a kid in
the kitchen banging on whatever I could, making a mess.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And I was always like just super into music.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And then when I was like kind of growing up
in New York and I would hear about these raves
that I just physically wasn't old enough to attend, I
would sneak in, Like now, some of these promoters when
I like play there, I'm like, hey, by the way,
like I used to like sneak in here when I
was like an eighteen year old, which is pretty funny,
But I do feel like that contributed to like my
(03:12):
influence in electronic music, Like just sneaking to these raves
in Brooklyn, like the first time you step in, like
like like some of these venues, it's just like I'll
never forget the feeling of that. So I really feel
like I tried to, like in a weird way, replicate
that feeling in some of my music.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, speaking of that, do you remember the first DM
show you ever went to?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
First EDM show? I think was ZED potentially.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh my god, talk about life changing.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I believe it was Zed in twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Fifteen, So the heyday of Zed.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, that was a really awesome experience. And my first
truck on my EPs actually with Alvin Risk, who is
his roommate in LA. He lives with him and he's
a really cool, incredible artist, both Zed and Alvin Risk.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Of course, what a full circle moment. That's incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Now, speaking of your DJing in high school, do you remember.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Swedish House Mafia at Brookly Mirage? I was like, yeah,
I remember. I was like the same age. I was fifteen.
I didn't know what Brooklyn Mirage was.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Hold one second, I gotta stop you. There's like do
you hear that?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, it's gone. Were you pounding on something?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Sorry? See I told you I was a kid. I
watch your pen. I could have been topped with the laptop.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Sorry. I was like, wait a second, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I think that's Alvin Risk telling us to shut up
about talking about him. Go ahead, sorry, send you over
some steps quick so Swedish House Mafia.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, that was another one as well. They're incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well two, I mean that's amazing seeing Swedish House Mafia
and Zed.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean talk about incredible shows. Now, speaking of that's the.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Beauty of not to cut you off, that's the beauty
of growing up in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I had access to just you know, like get a
ticket and see these incredible performances.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So that's what I.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Would do on the weekends. I would always just go
check out my favorite artists.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And I guess security wasn't that good.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Hey, I know brook Lebrage recently redid everything. I want
to say anything, you know, but it was great. Security
is great.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But it's so funny. This is literally the second week
in a row.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Because Blondish was talking about when she was like thirteen
or fourteen, she was making fake IDs to go to shows.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Well that's how that's how we did it, right.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Well, see, you have to understand, so I've been working
in radio since I was sixteen, so I never, thank god,
had to deal with that because I was already getting
into the clubs working.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
It's like that movie almost famous Now this is almost
famous anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Sorry, Yeah, thinking back, to djaying in high school. Do
you remember Ember, your first time performing in front of
a crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
It was a lot of house parties, a lot of
like events, like really just like anything I could like
get behind with the decks. I used to actually travel
with my decks. I would like bring my decks to
the event and I would just like dj I.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Sometimes I would do like four events at a night.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I would just do like as much as I can,
just to get like the the ten thousand hours. In
the first oh my god moment, because I've only been
releasing music for five months, which is crazy given that
we've already had this success that is insane, the oh
my god moment was I got booked to play Avant Gardner,
which is the venue that owns Brookly Morage in Brooklyn,
(06:40):
and they were like, you're going to play a four
am set, which I which I've never really done a
four am set before, so I was like, oh, there's
probably not going to be like I've done a few
closing sets at clubs, but like clubs and that venue
are a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I know what to expect. I get their packed crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Like thousands of people, and I was just like this
is really really cool, Like I've never had that experience
like playing for that many people before, and of course
you're like super nervous walking up to that stage. But
as soon as I like plugged in and pressed the
first track, I was just like, it's just completely I
lost all the nerves And that was a really cool experience.
(07:18):
That was like the That's what I think of when
I think of the oh my god moment. But I'm
sure I had a bunch along the way.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But isn't it crazy?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
How literally I'm the same way, Like I am nervous
af like leading up to it, standing backstage waiting to
step out on stage, but the second you step out there,
everything's gone and it's great to.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Go immediately goes away. Yeah, it's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I feel like when I work with an artist. I
get like super nervous. I like can't sleep for like
three days, Like I literally like can't sleep if I
wanted to. And then I get there all like jittered
from like all the coffee that I've had, if this
and that, and then I'm like, oh, this person's like
a really cool, like really nice person, and then we
end up making something. Typically if the vibes are going well,
(08:01):
we just make something in like an hour and then
like all the nerves go away. So that is a
very similar between live and like producing. Like that, I
found like in terms of the nerves, it's similar. I
have a similar reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Anxiety is such a bitch.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I do.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I feel like it's like a motivating true in a
weird way. Obviously too much is not good.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Right absolutely now is will sass your real name?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My full name is William sass Hour And I was like,
that doesn't sound like a DJ name, so I just
like chopped it up, and yeah, I kind of like it.
It just feels like personal.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Organic to me.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It definitely flows. But when you were trying to figure
out an artist project name, was.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
That I tried. I tried a bunch. I tried like
a hundred different names.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I was like, I'm gonna get behind this, and I
couldn't bring myself to get behind like a name that
wasn't mine, like it had had to have like some
element of like me in it.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And this just felt like the closest thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That totally makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I was literally just going through the same thing trying
to decide on an LLC name and I didn't. I
couldn't make it general like I wanted it to have
some meaning to me. So I totally get there. Now,
do you remember the first EEDM song that made you
fall in love with dance music?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I don't know if it qualifies as EDM, But Kid Tranada,
what's that ninety nine point nine percent, He's got an
album that came out.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
If you haven't heard it, you should really check it out.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
It came out in twenty sixteen, and like it's just
been on a repeat for like honestly even now. Like
sometimes I'll wake up and I have, like, like on
my vinyl player, I'll just play it. Sometimes it's just
like front to back. An incredible album. Disclosure one of
the best live sets I've ever seen. Yeah, they're incredible
Flying Lotus, But in terms of like more em I
(10:07):
would say Flume for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Flume was a big one for me. Rufus the soul
big one for me.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Great choices, And you mentioned Disclosure.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So I got dragged to a show by a girl
I was dating at the time, and I didn't know
a lot about Disclosure, And I show up and it's
completely sold out, everybody singing along to every song, and
like you said, it was one of the best live
shows I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It was amazing, incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You mentioned that you haven't been producing music for long,
but do you remember the first time hearing one of
your songs on the radio.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
So I've been producing for five years, okay more, maybe
even slightly more. And I've been in like artist development
during those five years. So as i've been producing, and
I've been also just like working on my artist project
as the main focus. So I've had, like before I
ever released a song, I've probably produce like even like
just for myself, like hundreds of tracks. Wow. And I
(11:04):
was just like, so at least I had like this
kind of bank of music to choose from.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And then what I would do is I would like
pitch demos to people.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And Camille was one of the first before we even
get into Into the Blue. Camille was one of the
first people to kind of come behind me and being like,
this is a really cool song, like.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Even before like she heard Into the Blue.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't want to get too into Into the Blue
yet because I know there's still some more questions.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thank you. I appreciate that she was This.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Isn't typically what I do like at the time, she
wasn't making electronic music.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
For the most part.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
She's been on electronic records, like she had Cammy with
Fred again, and she had a truck with SJ.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Lewis, But at.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
The time she was mostly working on like I would say,
like it was like a soul, R and B kind
of vibe, which was super.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Super cool and I love that as well. But she
heard Into the Blue and she was like, this speaks
to me.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I want to do it, and she hopped on and
I had a few other artists that also came behind me,
which is super cool.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
But anyway, I cut you off.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, you're fine, But do you remember hearing your first
song on the radio?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Well, it happened recently, Okay, completely organically the first time
I heard it because friends were sending me videos. I
was getting a lot of videos like from like You
playing it and a bunch of other channels playing it.
But I was on the way to my DJ set
two weeks ago. I called an uber because I was
like running late. I was I like, just had to
quickly get to my set, and I get in the
(12:32):
car and.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
There was like faint music. It was like the radio
plane and it was into the blue.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I said to the uber Jeneral.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I'm like, sir, like, would you mind like turn it
up a little bit, like that's my song? And he
like didn't understand for like a while, like like what
that meant. I was like, well, I made that song
that's playing on the radio. How can you make something
that's on the radio.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I was like, I'll go on the same way right now.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're like, can you worry this up? The song is
only two and a half minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
It's crazy, it is.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It is mentally like crazy thing to experience, but it's
so beautiful and I feel like that's something that will
never go away. Like anytime I ever hear a song
of my being played like that, I'm not playing it
from my iPhone. That must that's going to be a
crazy experience.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's so incredible.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
And it happened again when I was with my friends
in the car.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
That was we were like on the way out, funny enough,
like we were going out to like some party and
there's my song, okay mon.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
And we were just going nuts in the car.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And I will tell you it never gets old, Like
even I've been in radio forever and still hearing like
commercials I do, or like when I'm listening to my show.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It never gets old. So absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Now finally, in Finky's First in honor of the success
of Into the Blue, it has the lyrics find a
place to disappear. If you could disappear anywhere, where would
be your first choice.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I've never been to Australia same.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yeah, I've always wanted to like play shows there because
I know they're like really big on try music. I
also love the surf and I heard that Byron Bay
is like a really cool place to surf.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I would love to go to Australia, So that's definitely
on my on my list for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Do you know Louren Padman, I did not so.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Louren is the president of dim Mock, Steve Jochi's label.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And llyd I just I just I just met Lauren.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sorry I Miami music, Lauren, I just met him.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah, super cool guy.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, really cool dude.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well he's Australian, so you should totally link up and
try to find out how to get there quick.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I think I might have said the exact same thing
in the room during the radio pedal.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's so funny. I just had a total flashback.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I was introducing Lorne to Joel Corey and when I
introed him, I said the president of dim Mock. But
Joel didn't hear that and thought I said, like the
president of some country, and he's like, you're the president.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It was so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
He was like kissing his ring and every no joking,
and I'm like, Joel, this is embarrassing. Come on, dude,
let's talk about this smash.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I saw that Lewis Thompson and Nina Nesbit also helped
co write this.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
How was it born? With Camille?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
So Nina nets It's a great friend of mine.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
We've done plenty of tracks together. We did Fair with
the Friends, which came out with us two together, and
we were just working and we had a studio session
booked with. We did a bunch of sessions together, but
we did one session with Louis Thompson, who's incredible. Yeah,
and I remember I went in the room I had
I always start with like atmospheres on my laptop. I
(15:43):
always recorded different things, especially like Happiness, which I'll get to,
which is our new record, Like that was born from
purely just recording atmospheres on a trip but into the Blue,
I had a few ideas and Louis Thompson had this
really cool like synth patch that I remember I kept
in the track and Nina and I like, we were
(16:05):
just running through ideas and sketches like that was one
of the ideas, and I pitched it to Camille and
I was like, what do you think it is? And
then me and Camille got in and we dialed it in.
But Nina is an incredible songwriter. Lewis Thompson's an incredible
writer producer, so being able to I feel like every
time I get in the room with people that are
(16:26):
super talented like that, I always pick up a trick.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What trick did you pick up from them?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Louis Thompson in particular, had really cool He actually set
me a bunch of serum since and bass patches, so
I literally physically picked up some really cool sounds from Lewis.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Was awesome, I think, super awesome. He just moved to Portugal.
Super cool guy.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
But yeah, I love working with other I haven't worked
with too many other producers, but he's a really cool
one that I feel like I picked up some tricks.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
He's behind so many incredible hits and Nina Nesbit I
got a chance to chat with her with their song
with a Lennium.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
She is so amazing, super talented. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Now, something I love to find out about songs is
how many different v's there are from when you start
working on it.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Oh, everyone has the same answer for everyone's like so
many bes. I actually can't do v's anymore because I
have too many be's.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Is that do dates?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I'm like, this is of like April seventh, Like today,
I'll go I'm gonna go to the studio after this
and I'll probably have like multiple April seventh bounces, so.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
At least I know like the day I made it.
Like otherwise, V like you're like, am I on V
twenty three? Or am I V eight? Mix? Mix? Mixing
and mastering? I'll do V okay because I only typically
have like a few mixes.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now do you remember how many different versions there were
of Into the Blue?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
A lot?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And is it is it drastic changes or is it
just the minute stuff?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'll like produce something like this is what drives me
mentally crazy, and I I.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Try to forget about this. I'll produce a record like
up to like ninety nine point like nine percent done,
and then I'll be like, oh my god, I need
to read you the whole thing, and then I just
scrap it and like.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, because it's like I don't want to like if
I it's.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Just like the feeling like it's something it's not feeling there.
You just got to read. So most of these records
I've like read on like from just a vocal from
scratch mustiple times, which takes like a lot of time
until you end up with something and you're like I
couldn't think of something to change.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, well, you did such an amazing job with Into
the Blue. It's such an incredible song. How long ago
did you guys start working on it?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
A year ago?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I think I meant Camille potentially and we got in
the room, so I didn't finish Into the Blue.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
We ended up doing five records that same day, so
I was like.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Now I know that we have a really special connection,
and we've gotten back in the room to write more
records as well. That's the same thing every time, it's
like five more records. I remember I recently came to
London to work with Camille and we were sitting there
and I was like, Okay, I'm kind of like kind
of tired. It was like the end of the day,
We've done like six songs. Keep in mind Camille is
(19:19):
is pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
No, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I'm saying to Camille, I'm pretty tired, like come to
London to chill.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And I'm like if Camille who's pregnant, is telling me,
like I need to keep going, I need to keep going.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And we ended up doing like another four records or
something crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's so funny you say that because I always I'm
always tired, and I feel horrible saying that to touring
DJs because your guys schedule is just insane, absolutely, so
I feel horrible. So it's the same thing. Well, let's
talk about happiness. This is so incredible. How did that
come together with Camille?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
If you want the whole story, which I haven't even
like talked about it yet. I was it was seven am.
I was in Philadelphia at the time with my friends
and we were we were walking across like this like
stream and it was making like really really.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Cool like textures. So I recorded the textures.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I went back to my room at like eight am,
and I had like a call at ten thirty am.
So it's like, I can't sleep for two and a
half hours. I have to like pass the time. So
I laid down the chords to Happiness and like I
use like the stream to make a synth, and I
laid down the chords. Then I knew I had that
first session to record Into the Blue with Camille. So
I show up. We recorded Into the Blue, and I'm like, hey, Camille,
(20:36):
I had this, I had these other ideas. I have
these cool chords that I just tracked down, like do
you want to hear it? And as soon as I
played the chords, She's saying, I just want happiness in
my life. Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
And it was one of those.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Moments where I in the moment I was like so
emotional laying down the chords, but hearing that like made
the emotions go from like what I thought was a
lot to like way more than I could have imagined.
And yeah, it was incredible, And we just kind of
kept sending the track back and forth, kind of piecing
together the verses, and what I didn't know at the
time is like she was going through just like a
(21:11):
kind of like a rough time for her and the track.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Writing the track, she said.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Helped her get out of whatever funk she was in
at the time. So in my mind, I'm like, that's
really incredible that I can bring something in that and
work with you on a track that makes you feel
more enlightened and out of a phase that you didn't
want to be in. And now I'm thinking it could
do that for other people. I'm really happy that we're
(21:38):
sharing this track and that other people could also experience that.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That is amazing, That is so incredible, And I was
pretty much gonna say that. You know, you have to
understand that when people listen to your music, it does
the same for people listening to the music, and it
totally comes through when the artist is feeling that too.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I only do things that I'm feeling, and I wish,
I hope every artist is like that, Like if you're
not feeling it, then then what's the point.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Absolutely Now do you carry a microphone with you everywhere?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
And I do have a few devices.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I have, like the So for my first GP, I
had to come up with a visualizer really quick. So
I just made it the TP seven, which is like
this audio recording device that I just usually just carry
around with me.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I saw that and.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Like my friends make fun of me, Like I'm always like,
it's not just a tape recorder.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I was like, I don't think he's well enough to
have a tape recorder.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I started talking about like the textbecs.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
They're like, we've heard it already, like enough, I'm like,
you don't understand.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Like you can reverse the samples as well.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I'm here, it's so cool you can put them together
and make a little DJ set.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Like I'm such a nerd with this stuff. But Teenage
Engineering is like a.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Really cool company, and I love all their stuff, but
I always have that that TP seven. I actually have
a special belt that I can attach it to the
belt water record something really quickly. I just take it
off and I and you don't even have to art
it on. By the way, there's a button that you
press and autobout the records anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's like people that used to have the like clip
on for their phones, they would have for their belt exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
This is like the gen Z version of a lobster.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, well that's so awesome. Well, hopefully Happiness will be
your second number one. Congratulations on Into the Blue going
number one.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And we have a really cool track as well coming
with Malu called what If It Takes You Away?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Wow, And that's gonna be in June.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So what you're saying is you've got a lot more
stuff coming from Will SaaS fans, we.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
Got more of the pipeline for sure. For sure.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Congratulations on the incredible success of Into the Blue with
Camille and it going number one on the Billboard charts.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
Crazy. I just got the text.
Speaker 5 (00:44):
I actually was not expecting it because there's so many
amazing records that are like that have like the era
going up, so I'm super nervous about whether or not
we're gonna get it. But thanks to you guys playing it.
I got a text from my team like on what's
that and it was like, you got number one this
week and I was like, I was like, what do
you mean. It's my first like EP so I haven't
(01:05):
had any like moments like this yet, so this was
like one of the first moments. I was just like, Okay,
I guess I was like kind of like in tears,
I go to my roommate and I'm like, hey, I
think we're number one on Billboard this week, and he's like, what,
So I'll take it.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
That is so awesome and I always love hearing that
when somebody reacts to their first number one.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So congratulations.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I can't wait to talk about how this song was
born with Camille, especially since I saw who some of
the co writers are, which are amazing. But first, let's
get to know will sas a little better. With Thinky's first.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
I'm scared, don't be scared.
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Blondeish had the same reaction, and then literally after the
first question she's she's like, oh these are easy.
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, okay, all right, let's let's give it a go.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So I always love finding out the origin story of artists.
I read that you were already playing guitar as a
toddler and then already DJing in high school.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
Yeah, so the.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
Djane basically came out of me growing up in New York.
That's really like the origin of a lot of my music.
I feel like that's why I still live here. But
it's just like I was sneaking into clubs when I
was sixteen, So I was I was before I could
sneak into clubs, I was kind of banging on the
pots and pads. I was that kind of kid, so
(02:33):
like we had a toy guitar when I was a toddler,
I have a photo would be like playing guitar for
like whatever, like family was over at the house, just
like trying to entertain. And I was a kid in
the kitchen banging on whatever I could, making a mess.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And I was always like just super into music.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And then when I was like kind of growing up
in New York and I would hear about these raves
that I just physically wasn't old enough to attend, I
would sneak in, Like now, some of these promoters when
I like play there, I'm like, hey, by the way,
like I used to like sneak in here when I
was like an eighteen year old, which is pretty funny,
But I do feel like that contributed to like my
(03:12):
influence in electronic music, Like just sneaking to these raves
in Brooklyn, like the first time you step in, like
like like some of these venues, it's just like I'll
never forget the feeling of that. So I really feel
like I tried to, like in a weird way, replicate
that feeling in some of my music.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Well, speaking of that, do you remember the first DM
show you ever went to?
Speaker 4 (03:34):
First EDM show? I think was ZED potentially.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Oh my god, talk about life changing.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
I believe it was Zed in twenty.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Fifteen, So the heyday of Zed.
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Yeah, that was a really awesome experience. And my first
truck on my EPs actually with Alvin Risk, who is
his roommate in LA. He lives with him and he's
a really cool, incredible artist, both Zed and Alvin Risk.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Of course, what a full circle moment. That's incredible.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Now, speaking of your DJing in high school, do you remember.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
Swedish House Mafia at Brookly Mirage? I was like, yeah,
I remember. I was like the same age. I was fifteen.
I didn't know what Brooklyn Mirage was.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Hold one second, I gotta stop you. There's like do
you hear that?
Speaker 4 (04:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, it's gone. Were you pounding on something?
Speaker 4 (04:28):
Sorry? See I told you I was a kid. I
watch your pen. I could have been topped with the laptop.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Sorry. I was like, wait a second, I'm here.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
I think that's Alvin Risk telling us to shut up
about talking about him. Go ahead, sorry, send you over
some steps quick so Swedish House Mafia.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
Yeah, that was another one as well. They're incredible.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Well two, I mean that's amazing seeing Swedish House Mafia
and Zed.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
I mean talk about incredible shows. Now, speaking of that's the.
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Beauty of not to cut you off, that's the beauty
of growing up in New York.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
I had access to just you know, like get a
ticket and see these incredible performances.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
So that's what I.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
Would do on the weekends. I would always just go
check out my favorite artists.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
And I guess security wasn't that good.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Hey, I know brook Lebrage recently redid everything. I want
to say anything, you know, but it was great. Security
is great.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
But it's so funny. This is literally the second week
in a row.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Because Blondish was talking about when she was like thirteen
or fourteen, she was making fake IDs to go to shows.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Well that's how that's how we did it, right.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Well, see, you have to understand, so I've been working
in radio since I was sixteen, so I never, thank god,
had to deal with that because I was already getting
into the clubs working.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
It's like that movie almost famous Now this is almost
famous anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Sorry, Yeah, thinking back, to djaying in high school. Do
you remember Ember, your first time performing in front of
a crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:02):
It was a lot of house parties, a lot of
like events, like really just like anything I could like
get behind with the decks. I used to actually travel
with my decks. I would like bring my decks to
the event and I would just like dj I.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Sometimes I would do like four events at a night.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
I would just do like as much as I can,
just to get like the the ten thousand hours. In
the first oh my god moment, because I've only been
releasing music for five months, which is crazy given that
we've already had this success that is insane, the oh
my god moment was I got booked to play Avant Gardner,
which is the venue that owns Brookly Morage in Brooklyn,
(06:40):
and they were like, you're going to play a four
am set, which I which I've never really done a
four am set before, so I was like, oh, there's
probably not going to be like I've done a few
closing sets at clubs, but like clubs and that venue
are a little bit different.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I know what to expect. I get their packed crowd.
Speaker 5 (06:56):
Like thousands of people, and I was just like this
is really really cool, Like I've never had that experience
like playing for that many people before, and of course
you're like super nervous walking up to that stage. But
as soon as I like plugged in and pressed the
first track, I was just like, it's just completely I
lost all the nerves And that was a really cool experience.
(07:18):
That was like the That's what I think of when
I think of the oh my god moment. But I'm
sure I had a bunch along the way.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
But isn't it crazy?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
How literally I'm the same way, Like I am nervous
af like leading up to it, standing backstage waiting to
step out on stage, but the second you step out there,
everything's gone and it's great to.
Speaker 4 (07:38):
Go immediately goes away. Yeah, it's the same thing.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
I feel like when I work with an artist. I
get like super nervous. I like can't sleep for like
three days, Like I literally like can't sleep if I
wanted to. And then I get there all like jittered
from like all the coffee that I've had, if this
and that, and then I'm like, oh, this person's like
a really cool, like really nice person, and then we
end up making something. Typically if the vibes are going well,
(08:01):
we just make something in like an hour and then
like all the nerves go away. So that is a
very similar between live and like producing. Like that, I
found like in terms of the nerves, it's similar. I
have a similar reaction to that.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Anxiety is such a bitch.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
I do.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
I feel like it's like a motivating true in a
weird way. Obviously too much is not good.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Right absolutely now is will sass your real name?
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My full name is William sass Hour And I was like,
that doesn't sound like a DJ name, so I just
like chopped it up, and yeah, I kind of like it.
It just feels like personal.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Organic to me.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
It definitely flows. But when you were trying to figure
out an artist project name, was.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
That I tried. I tried a bunch. I tried like
a hundred different names.
Speaker 5 (09:00):
I was like, I'm gonna get behind this, and I
couldn't bring myself to get behind like a name that
wasn't mine, like it had had to have like some
element of like me in it.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
And this just felt like the closest thing.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
That totally makes sense.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
I was literally just going through the same thing trying
to decide on an LLC name and I didn't. I
couldn't make it general like I wanted it to have
some meaning to me. So I totally get there. Now,
do you remember the first EEDM song that made you
fall in love with dance music?
Speaker 6 (09:33):
I don't know if it qualifies as EDM, But Kid Tranada,
what's that ninety nine point nine percent, He's got an
album that came out.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
If you haven't heard it, you should really check it out.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
It came out in twenty sixteen, and like it's just
been on a repeat for like honestly even now. Like
sometimes I'll wake up and I have, like, like on
my vinyl player, I'll just play it. Sometimes it's just
like front to back. An incredible album. Disclosure one of
the best live sets I've ever seen. Yeah, they're incredible
Flying Lotus, But in terms of like more em I
(10:07):
would say Flume for sure.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Flume was a big one for me. Rufus the soul
big one for me.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Great choices, And you mentioned Disclosure.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
So I got dragged to a show by a girl
I was dating at the time, and I didn't know
a lot about Disclosure, And I show up and it's
completely sold out, everybody singing along to every song, and
like you said, it was one of the best live
shows I've ever been to.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
It was amazing, incredible.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You mentioned that you haven't been producing music for long,
but do you remember the first time hearing one of
your songs on the radio.
Speaker 5 (10:42):
So I've been producing for five years, okay more, maybe
even slightly more. And I've been in like artist development
during those five years. So as i've been producing, and
I've been also just like working on my artist project
as the main focus. So I've had, like before I
ever released a song, I've probably produce like even like
just for myself, like hundreds of tracks. Wow. And I
(11:04):
was just like, so at least I had like this
kind of bank of music to choose from.
Speaker 4 (11:09):
And then what I would do is I would like
pitch demos to people.
Speaker 5 (11:12):
And Camille was one of the first before we even
get into Into the Blue. Camille was one of the
first people to kind of come behind me and being like,
this is a really cool song, like.
Speaker 4 (11:23):
Even before like she heard Into the Blue.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I don't want to get too into Into the Blue
yet because I know there's still some more questions.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Thank you. I appreciate that she was This.
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Isn't typically what I do like at the time, she
wasn't making electronic music.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
For the most part.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
She's been on electronic records, like she had Cammy with
Fred again, and she had a truck with SJ.
Speaker 4 (11:44):
Lewis, But at.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
The time she was mostly working on like I would say,
like it was like a soul, R and B kind
of vibe, which was super.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
Super cool and I love that as well. But she
heard Into the Blue and she was like, this speaks
to me.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
I want to do it, and she hopped on and
I had a few other artists that also came behind me,
which is super cool.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
But anyway, I cut you off.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
No, you're fine, But do you remember hearing your first
song on the radio?
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Well, it happened recently, Okay, completely organically the first time
I heard it because friends were sending me videos. I
was getting a lot of videos like from like You
playing it and a bunch of other channels playing it.
But I was on the way to my DJ set
two weeks ago. I called an uber because I was
like running late. I was I like, just had to
quickly get to my set, and I get in the
(12:32):
car and.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
There was like faint music. It was like the radio
plane and it was into the blue.
Speaker 5 (12:37):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
I said to the uber Jeneral.
Speaker 5 (12:39):
I'm like, sir, like, would you mind like turn it
up a little bit, like that's my song? And he
like didn't understand for like a while, like like what
that meant. I was like, well, I made that song
that's playing on the radio. How can you make something
that's on the radio.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
I was like, I'll go on the same way right now.
Speaker 1 (12:53):
You're like, can you worry this up? The song is
only two and a half minutes.
Speaker 4 (12:57):
It's crazy, it is.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
It is mentally like crazy thing to experience, but it's
so beautiful and I feel like that's something that will
never go away. Like anytime I ever hear a song
of my being played like that, I'm not playing it
from my iPhone. That must that's going to be a
crazy experience.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
That's so incredible.
Speaker 4 (13:14):
And it happened again when I was with my friends
in the car.
Speaker 5 (13:17):
That was we were like on the way out, funny enough,
like we were going out to like some party and
there's my song, okay mon.
Speaker 4 (13:25):
And we were just going nuts in the car.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
And I will tell you it never gets old, Like
even I've been in radio forever and still hearing like
commercials I do, or like when I'm listening to my show.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
It never gets old. So absolutely.
Speaker 2 (13:38):
Now finally, in Finky's First in honor of the success
of Into the Blue, it has the lyrics find a
place to disappear. If you could disappear anywhere, where would
be your first choice.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
I've never been to Australia same.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Oh my god.
Speaker 5 (13:54):
Yeah, I've always wanted to like play shows there because
I know they're like really big on try music. I
also love the surf and I heard that Byron Bay
is like a really cool place to surf.
Speaker 4 (14:07):
I would love to go to Australia, So that's definitely
on my on my list for sure.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
Do you know Louren Padman, I did not so.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Louren is the president of dim Mock, Steve Jochi's label.
Speaker 4 (14:17):
And llyd I just I just I just met Lauren.
Speaker 1 (14:19):
Sorry I Miami music, Lauren, I just met him.
Speaker 4 (14:22):
Yeah, super cool guy.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Yeah, really cool dude.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Well he's Australian, so you should totally link up and
try to find out how to get there quick.
Speaker 4 (14:29):
I think I might have said the exact same thing
in the room during the radio pedal.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
It's so funny. I just had a total flashback.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
I was introducing Lorne to Joel Corey and when I
introed him, I said the president of dim Mock. But
Joel didn't hear that and thought I said, like the
president of some country, and he's like, you're the president.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
It was so weird.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
He was like kissing his ring and every no joking,
and I'm like, Joel, this is embarrassing. Come on, dude,
let's talk about this smash.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
You know.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
I saw that Lewis Thompson and Nina Nesbit also helped
co write this.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
How was it born? With Camille?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
So Nina nets It's a great friend of mine.
Speaker 5 (15:21):
We've done plenty of tracks together. We did Fair with
the Friends, which came out with us two together, and
we were just working and we had a studio session
booked with. We did a bunch of sessions together, but
we did one session with Louis Thompson, who's incredible. Yeah,
and I remember I went in the room I had
I always start with like atmospheres on my laptop. I
(15:43):
always recorded different things, especially like Happiness, which I'll get to,
which is our new record, Like that was born from
purely just recording atmospheres on a trip but into the Blue,
I had a few ideas and Louis Thompson had this
really cool like synth patch that I remember I kept
in the track and Nina and I like, we were
(16:05):
just running through ideas and sketches like that was one
of the ideas, and I pitched it to Camille and
I was like, what do you think it is? And
then me and Camille got in and we dialed it in.
But Nina is an incredible songwriter. Lewis Thompson's an incredible
writer producer, so being able to I feel like every
time I get in the room with people that are
(16:26):
super talented like that, I always pick up a trick.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
What trick did you pick up from them?
Speaker 5 (16:30):
Louis Thompson in particular, had really cool He actually set
me a bunch of serum since and bass patches, so
I literally physically picked up some really cool sounds from Lewis.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Was awesome, I think, super awesome. He just moved to Portugal.
Super cool guy.
Speaker 5 (16:47):
But yeah, I love working with other I haven't worked
with too many other producers, but he's a really cool
one that I feel like I picked up some tricks.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
He's behind so many incredible hits and Nina Nesbit I
got a chance to chat with her with their song
with a Lennium.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
She is so amazing, super talented. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Now, something I love to find out about songs is
how many different v's there are from when you start
working on it.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
Oh, everyone has the same answer for everyone's like so
many bes. I actually can't do v's anymore because I
have too many be's.
Speaker 4 (17:30):
Is that do dates?
Speaker 5 (17:32):
I'm like, this is of like April seventh, Like today,
I'll go I'm gonna go to the studio after this
and I'll probably have like multiple April seventh bounces, so.
Speaker 4 (17:41):
At least I know like the day I made it.
Like otherwise, V like you're like, am I on V
twenty three? Or am I V eight? Mix? Mix? Mixing
and mastering? I'll do V okay because I only typically
have like a few mixes.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
Now do you remember how many different versions there were
of Into the Blue?
Speaker 4 (17:58):
A lot?
Speaker 2 (17:59):
And is it is it drastic changes or is it
just the minute stuff?
Speaker 4 (18:04):
I'll like produce something like this is what drives me
mentally crazy, and I I.
Speaker 5 (18:09):
Try to forget about this. I'll produce a record like
up to like ninety nine point like nine percent done,
and then I'll be like, oh my god, I need
to read you the whole thing, and then I just
scrap it and like.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Yeah, because it's like I don't want to like if
I it's.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Just like the feeling like it's something it's not feeling there.
You just got to read. So most of these records
I've like read on like from just a vocal from
scratch mustiple times, which takes like a lot of time
until you end up with something and you're like I
couldn't think of something to change.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
Yeah, well, you did such an amazing job with Into
the Blue. It's such an incredible song. How long ago
did you guys start working on it?
Speaker 4 (18:48):
A year ago?
Speaker 5 (18:49):
I think I meant Camille potentially and we got in
the room, so I didn't finish Into the Blue.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
We ended up doing five records that same day, so
I was like.
Speaker 5 (18:57):
Now I know that we have a really special connection,
and we've gotten back in the room to write more
records as well. That's the same thing every time, it's
like five more records. I remember I recently came to
London to work with Camille and we were sitting there
and I was like, Okay, I'm kind of like kind
of tired. It was like the end of the day,
We've done like six songs. Keep in mind Camille is
(19:19):
is pregnant.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
No, yeah, and.
Speaker 4 (19:22):
I'm saying to Camille, I'm pretty tired, like come to
London to chill.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
And I'm like if Camille who's pregnant, is telling me,
like I need to keep going, I need to keep going.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
And we ended up doing like another four records or
something crazy.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
It's so funny you say that because I always I'm
always tired, and I feel horrible saying that to touring
DJs because your guys schedule is just insane, absolutely, so
I feel horrible. So it's the same thing. Well, let's
talk about happiness. This is so incredible. How did that
come together with Camille?
Speaker 5 (19:54):
If you want the whole story, which I haven't even
like talked about it yet. I was it was seven am.
I was in Philadelphia at the time with my friends
and we were we were walking across like this like
stream and it was making like really really.
Speaker 4 (20:08):
Cool like textures. So I recorded the textures.
Speaker 5 (20:12):
I went back to my room at like eight am,
and I had like a call at ten thirty am.
So it's like, I can't sleep for two and a
half hours. I have to like pass the time. So
I laid down the chords to Happiness and like I
use like the stream to make a synth, and I
laid down the chords. Then I knew I had that
first session to record Into the Blue with Camille. So
I show up. We recorded Into the Blue, and I'm like, hey, Camille,
(20:36):
I had this, I had these other ideas. I have
these cool chords that I just tracked down, like do
you want to hear it? And as soon as I
played the chords, She's saying, I just want happiness in
my life. Wow.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
And it was one of those.
Speaker 5 (20:48):
Moments where I in the moment I was like so
emotional laying down the chords, but hearing that like made
the emotions go from like what I thought was a
lot to like way more than I could have imagined.
And yeah, it was incredible, And we just kind of
kept sending the track back and forth, kind of piecing
together the verses, and what I didn't know at the
time is like she was going through just like a
(21:11):
kind of like a rough time for her and the track.
Speaker 4 (21:15):
Writing the track, she said.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Helped her get out of whatever funk she was in
at the time. So in my mind, I'm like, that's
really incredible that I can bring something in that and
work with you on a track that makes you feel
more enlightened and out of a phase that you didn't
want to be in. And now I'm thinking it could
do that for other people. I'm really happy that we're
(21:38):
sharing this track and that other people could also experience that.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
That is amazing, That is so incredible, And I was
pretty much gonna say that. You know, you have to
understand that when people listen to your music, it does
the same for people listening to the music, and it
totally comes through when the artist is feeling that too.
Speaker 5 (21:55):
I only do things that I'm feeling, and I wish,
I hope every artist is like that, Like if you're
not feeling it, then then what's the point.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Absolutely Now do you carry a microphone with you everywhere?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
And I do have a few devices.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
I have, like the So for my first GP, I
had to come up with a visualizer really quick. So
I just made it the TP seven, which is like
this audio recording device that I just usually just carry
around with me.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
I saw that and.
Speaker 5 (22:23):
Like my friends make fun of me, Like I'm always like,
it's not just a tape recorder.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
I was like, I don't think he's well enough to
have a tape recorder.
Speaker 4 (22:33):
I started talking about like the textbecs.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
They're like, we've heard it already, like enough, I'm like,
you don't understand.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
Like you can reverse the samples as well.
Speaker 5 (22:41):
I'm here, it's so cool you can put them together
and make a little DJ set.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
Like I'm such a nerd with this stuff. But Teenage
Engineering is like a.
Speaker 5 (22:48):
Really cool company, and I love all their stuff, but
I always have that that TP seven. I actually have
a special belt that I can attach it to the
belt water record something really quickly. I just take it
off and I and you don't even have to art
it on. By the way, there's a button that you
press and autobout the records anyway.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
That's like people that used to have the like clip
on for their phones, they would have for their belt exactly.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
This is like the gen Z version of a lobster.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Yeah, well that's so awesome. Well, hopefully Happiness will be
your second number one. Congratulations on Into the Blue going
number one.
Speaker 5 (23:26):
And we have a really cool track as well coming
with Malu called what If It Takes You Away?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Wow, And that's gonna be in June.
Speaker 2 (23:36):
So what you're saying is you've got a lot more
stuff coming from Will SaaS fans, we.
