The unstoppable rise of Will Watson

Will Watson is much more than just a DJ, a formidable rising production star, a talented remixer and breathtaking performer to boot. One of thousands of producers to reach the hard fought final stages of Ferry Corsten’s FC System F remix competition that only went on to cement his unmistakable flair for creative originality that injects a tantalising breath of fresh air on a scene screaming out for a new generation of musical leaders.

Will’s remix of “Solstice” by System F was snapped up by Premiere Recordings after it received countless glittering reactions from the heavyweights and excited feedback from fans and peers alike. He can count on the likes of Armin van Buuren, Sean Tyas, Aly & Fila and Bobina for their support, as they were quick to recognise the exceptional arrangement of his hit track ‘Osaru’ for which he collaborated with Akira Kayosa.

It doesn’t end with peers and fans acknowledging his achievements either, Mixmag, which can be hailed as one of the world’s biggest dance music publications, printed of Osaru “This feel good trancer hits all the right melodic spots in style”. Beatsmedia.com also credited Will’s production with the term “perfect”, not too shabby for this fledgling talent.

With Premiere Recordings and Mondo both grabbing at his releases, his track “Synapse” also released on the world-wide renowned Slinky imprint, Will’s name has been a constant contender on the download charts of Beatport and Audiojelly. Not forgetting the success of his own record label Resonate that has gathered momentum in becoming a highly supported brand that can call on Above & Beyond, Tiesto, Markus Schulz and Armin van Buuren as disciples.

If you want a taste of Will Watson’s highly sought after sound you can tune in to his “Beyond Motion” radio show that broadcasts around the globe bringing his unique flavour to millions of listeners, delivering upfront promos and surprise remixes through iTunes and countless international station’s audiences in monthly doses.

When it comes to getting behind the decks Will is no novice. The Superclub Passion tagged Will Watson as a “Future Star of Trance”, an accolade that is bestowed on very few from a brand that has seen and done it all, and the brand where Armin van Buuren and Ferry Corsten both started their journeys. His euphoric, energy filled and driven sets have made him a firm favourite when it comes to conducting a dancefloor. The skill to read a crowd and deliver is often a gift that only the lucky ones are capable of and Will is without a doubt a chosen one.

So what’s next for Will Watson in 2012? The sky is the limit with this determined, vivacious, well-rooted next generation artist.
