Rockster feat. Paul Cless - How I Feel [Official Video HD]

"If you only know dance music you're not going to make good dance music." That's a motto that many electronic music makers abide by, especially German-based producer/DJ Rockster. Hailing from a country where Techno reigns supreme and where some of the most legendary artists of the genre have created pathways for the emerging, it has, in its evolution, ingrained its way into the conscience of the ever-loving musical populous. There's absolutely no doubt today's Pop music has been influenced by electronic styles and Rockster has found a way to merge the two impeccably. "Songs that inspired me throughout my life were not actually club songs," is how he describes the music that has moved him the most. Influenced by some of the most renowned artists in R&B, Pop, & Soul like Michael Jackson, Barry White, Luther Vandross, Johnny Cash, Justin Timberlake & Pharrell Williams, he reforms his dance music doctrine with elements of Soul, infectious hooks and deep bass, clearing own path in the interim.
"Throughout my life as a DJ/producer I was always searching for songs with a soul; songs that take you away emotionally instead of having to bear the ever-existing disposable sound of the current fanfare. And it shows. It's no wonder Rockster's quest for quality has landed him countless radio gigs and live performances, including being the touring DJ for the Backstreet Boys, Rapsoul and others.
With his debut release, "How I Feel," Rockster's musical production standards are met by combining contemporary sounds and influences of different musical styles. Conceptually, he taps into our inner child and subliminal desire to escape everyday life which can sometimes lead to excess. It's this inner conflict that's intensely expressed so well in the song. With the charismatic vocal of rising star, Paul Cless, who's already collaborated with top producers such as Tony Stone (Motown), Roger Russell (Sugababes) and Terri Bjerre (Carrie Underwood), we are picked up emotionally, brought to the party and and drenched in celebration. The combination of banging dance-beats, guitar-sounds and soul make "How I Feel" a genre-crossing hit for hard club-nights, long road trips, and those solitary moments when you just need some personal liberation.
This is the first of many songs, that will touch the the listener's heart and is just a taste of Rockster's mission. He is currently deep in the lab working on his debut full-length album, which promises to contain much of the same inspiring messages and uplifting energy arousing djs and dance floors for years to come. It's this concept of Songs vs Tracks that people ultimately remember and is ultimately going to be his defining grace. This is only the beginning.
