about
To say that the past 12 months have been eventful for Zak Woodman – better by known by his pseudonym VillaNaranjos – would be a rather large understatement. After all, how many 18 year olds go from local gigs and complete obscurity, to one of the hottest young dance producers in the world, in just 12 months? Zak first started producing as early as 2002, at just age 9, on a basic copy of Cubasis V ST. However it was in 2008 when he started taking it more seriously, assuming the alias ‘VillaNaranjos’, after a hotel in the seaside town of Javea, Spain. Indeed, many of his tracks are named after beaches, bars and places in the area, reflecting the large influence that the sunshine and laid-back vibe of the Costa Blanca have had on his productions. After 3 years of producing in deepest, darkest suburbia – High Wycombe, England, to be exact - Zak’s big break came after his remix of dance legend Chicane’s ‘Going Deep’, a 10 minute progressive explosion of pure Balearic trance, became a YouTube hit in April 2011. This drew the attention of Chicane (Nick Bracegirdle) himself, who promptly signed it to his personal label Modena, releasing it as one of the official remixes of the original song. Hype around the track snowballed when Armin van Buuren played the remix on A State of Trance episode 510, personally remarking to Chicane that he ‘really enjoyed’ the track. Spurred on, Zak continued to fire out music at an astonishing rate, culminating in his first 5 track-EP by August 2011. S
