In a recent interview with Beatportal, US techno legend Green velvet, gave fans a candid insight into his life and beliefs.
Revealing his affinity for dance music and Christianity, Green Velvet spoke about how dance music has had a positive impact on his life and beliefs.
Green Velvet said: “A Christian can certainly be a dance music fan. Just as long, as with anything, they do not give into the evils that may surround it.”
Regardless of his message, the fact that Green Velvet continues to inject meaning into dance music makes him a much welcomed preacher.
He added: “I would like to think that I am always helping somebody through the music I make,” he says. “I try to make music so that people will dance their cares away. It doesn’t matter age, background, or circumstances, we all have challenges and stresses.
He went on to admit that his early productions had god in mind and now he just concentrates on bringing joy to the dance floor.
“I was raised knowing God as a child, he says. “I was a lost sheep for a while but I have found my way back. My early productions were done with God in mind for the most part – ‘Preacher Man’, ‘Brighter Days’, ‘U Got Me Up’, and ‘Day By Day’.
It’s nice to see a DJ promoting the positive side of music, rather than the darker seedier side of weekend hedonism.
