Spotlight | DJ Yovan
October 28, 2008 by Rick Di Corpo

Great things and more importantly great musicians have come out of the clubs and music centres of Montreal’s clubbing scene. Tiga, Cid K and Sultan are at the top of a long list of hometown heroes who have made it big both locally and internationally. This time we focus on the young up and coming star to be DJ Yovan.
A Serbian native, DJ Yovan moved to Montreal more than 10 years ago and began hitting the music scene by making simple mix tapes and DJ’ing short stints at local clubs. In no time at all, he was opening for some of the most prolific DJs at the hottest Montreal Clubs. He was even able to get his own radio show on House Pacific Radio.
When asked about the motivation behind his career choice Yovan replied: “Every gig is different. I love to challenge the crowds with new music and also being challenged by them. I enjoy the energy the crowd feeds me with, and love to travel through different house music genres from start of the night to the end. I especially love building up my sets.”
This energy became the drive for him to produce his own smash hit “Analemma (I Will Follow You)” with vocals from Claire Hayek.
“Analemma (I Will Follow You)” is a soothing return to tradition for DJ Yovan as the most popular mix cd’s he produced were filled with classic songs like “Alright” by Red Carpet and “In My Arms” by Mylo. In essence this song was almost 5 years in the making as DJ Yovan first met singer Claire Hayek while DJ’ing at the then Club London on The Main Boulevard in Montreal nearly half a decade ago. Their relationship as artists blossomed over time and became the backbone of what makes Analemma such a powerful piece of music.
When asked about the timing of this new release Yovan replied: “Music production is just a new step in my career. I always knew the day will come when I’m going to start making songs. It’s another challenge to test your own songs and see the floor reaction. It’s all about the moment and inspiration when producing a new song.”
DJ Yovan’s production career is only beginning and will no doubt become something of great significance in the House/Electro community. You can listen to DJ Yovan’s new song “Analemma (I Will Follow You)” by visiting his MySpace page. Keep up to date with all that is DJ Yovan and the latest house/electro songs by checking out his website (www.djyovan.com) and his Facebook page.
