In 1991 German duo Jam El Mar and Mark Spoon started a project which they called Jam & Spoon. During the years they released tracks such as “Stella”, “Find Me”, “Angel”, “Kaleidoscope Skies”, “Follow Me”, “Be Angeled” and many others. But their biggest commercial succes came in the year 1993 when they released the track “Right In The Night”, which features the beautiful vocals from Plavka.
For this interview I sat down with Rolf Ellmer a.k.a. Jam El Mar to ask him about the story behind “Right In The Night” and more!
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

It's 1999, I'm 17 and living for my two last years of Bac (Abitur) in Berlin. I'm in an internet cafe, and I hear that sound. I ask the tenant what music it is, but it was on the radio and he didn't know. Fastforward like 10 years, and despite my best efforts, and growing knowledge of electronic music, I still can't find that sound I loved at the time. Then I talk about that experience with an older collegue, who knows his stuff in early electronic music. I start singing the melody, and instantly he tells me it's Right In The Night by Jam & Spoon. And I'm like "what, but I know that band, how did I missed this...". I love how your channel is bringing back so much memories, thanx a lot :)

@electrikblue1008 Год назад

I only discovered this song about 2 years ago during quarantine, and was instantly hooked. Absolutely love this song and still listen to it regularly. What shocked me the most was the fact that it was released in 1993! The sound quality is amazing, and I would have guessed it was from 1998/99. Excellent track.

@sebastiencrusener4968 Год назад

What set J&S apart from others is that you didn't have to be into trance to like them. The production, the groove, the depth etc were so well crafted that the genre didn't matter. A lot of their tracks are huge classics and it's well deserved.

One of my favorite J & S tunes of all-time. I first heard it in 1995 or 1996 at a store in the U.S. where I worked when a sales guy who also worked there in the Electronics department played a cassette recording of the tune to show the quality of the stereos to the customers. I have had the pleasure to meet Plavka in the U.S. and hear her perform this classic, live. Great interview. It's always fun to hear Rolf's stories and experiences. Thank you, Twaan for this interview.

Most people didn't know jam & spoon here in the UK I remember back in about 1991 -1992 coming back from HMV with a few R&S CDs one was Stella they were like who's this whats that was really annoying for me when I wanted people to hear it! She also sang on R.H.C fever called love I recorded most of it all on to a TDK sa-x and we played it all night. Dance 2 Trance were the same I was so much into it all back then i was only 19 even today a lot of music good tracks etc never get known go under the radar lost in the saturated market of among none dance music etc etc

@jonpeley Год назад

This track was HUGE in Spain. No wonder as the main riff is from a spanish guitar. There were even some local covers with lesser qualities.

Thank you! And he’s telling what he did use for the guitar actually in this one. Plus in my previous interviews with Jam El Mar you will hear what kind of equipment he did use. I’m not a producer myself so I don’t have a lot of knowledge about the more technical part of the production, so that’s why I never ask too much in depth questions about the producing part, simply because I don’t think I should ask about things I don’t have the knowledge about 😉 I started this series because I’m interested in hearing the stories behind the tracks. So that’s why ☺️

@mackash Год назад

Great track. I remember very clearly watching it on the top 40 TV show when it first came out. But lets not forget the Bside. The 12min beast called "Follow Me!". Follow me doesn't get the recognition its deserves. It pathed the way for JamX Tomorrow. Excellent release. Both 'Ride in night' and 'Follow Me'. The instrumental is a bomber too.

Well, there's always like 5 or 6 questions that are (almost) the same..... I mean, we want to know the story behind the track right? ;-) But the answers are always different. And not sure if you noticed it, but there are always specific questions that are focussed on the track I'm talking about or about the artist itself. I do spend a lot of time on research and preparing these interviews. But feel free to send me a bunch of suggestions for questions I can ask for future interviews. Keep in mind the focus is to find out about the story behind the track ;-) Looking forward to your answer and suggestions! :)
