“I’ll never forget the place I grew up in. Manchester”
S at in a coffee shop in central Manchester, I wait for the man of the hour, Logan Hunter, the coffee shop I sit in is
modern but you can sense the old school, hip hop vibe running throughout the shop. The signed memorabilia,
graffiti style wall and mix of recent and old school rap/ r ’n’ b/ house music gives a very individualistic feel to any
customer who was to walk in. Moments later, Logan enters the shop, it is easy to tell he is a big fan of fashion sporting the
latest edition of footwear from Nike.
It doesn’t take long before we’re quickly into deep conversation about anything to do with the latest fashion, footwear and
obviously the most important topic of all, his latest album “Revolution”. Logan has recently started to become noticed by
the big names within the music industry for his style of producing music that is can be matched by no other. He is the
furthest from the stereotypical DJ you will ever meet. His main aim when producing his music is the feeling that the
listeners of his music will feel.
With his newest album, Logan has gone back to his roots where he grew up and the time he grew up. Manchester in the
90’s. He grew up in the time that the Hacienda club was in its prime and bands like The Happy Mondays and The Stone
Roses were at the top the Manchester music scene. ‘Music has always been a big part of my life, when I was growing up
mum and dad always had music playing through the house and my older brother always had the latest single releases and
top tracks that were big in the clubs.’ His new album is a mix of ‘Madchester’ remixes and new material. ‘I would never
get bored of listening to my brother tell me about the atmosphere in the clubs of Manchester, the Manchester music scene
is easily my biggest influences in the recent music I’ve produced’ He has already gained widespread praise for his latest mix
and it’s been tipped as the album of 2013 and it’s only March!
When we talked about the future of Logan Hunter and where he sees himself and his career going, he mainly spoke about
the live element of his music that he wants to increase ‘As much as an album can be good and useful for getting people
into a good mood, I think hearing it played live at a gig should be something that you would never forget. I want people to
walk out at the end of my gigs and feel that they’ve just witnessed something you won’t see anywhere on this earth.’ His
music brings a summer, good feeling to anyone who listens. It is easily the type of music that would be at home selling a
music festival in the summer. It’s been suggested that within the next three years, Logan Hunter will be selling out arenas
worldwide and headlining Britain’s biggest music festivals. ‘That’s a scary thought that man, about a year and a half ago I
was just a 25 year old mixing tracks in my flat when I got home from work, now I’m releasing albums and selling out shows
throughout the country’ he pauses from a moment as the realisation hits him. ‘I never thought of how successful I could
actually be because my music has always been the main focus, as much as I may become a popular DJ, I will never forget
the place I grew up in.’
As we prepare to leave the coffee shop, Logan tells me that a few big named artists of the music business have been in
touch with him about collaborating with him in the near future, he doesn’t reveal much but it is clear that he is very
excited, determined and it is also very apparent that the young man who just walked out of the coffee shop is born to be in
this music industry.
