Rolf Ellmer a.k.a. Jam El Mar is a German based DJ and producer who’s active in the music scene for more than 30 years already. In my previous interviews with him, we already discussed some of his biggest classics while sitting down in his beautiful studio in Frankfurt, Germany.
On October 19, 2023, Rolf made a visit to the Amsterdam Dance Event for the official presentation of the beautiful Jam & Spoon “Tripomatic Fairytales” coffee table book. Also Black Hole Recordings CEO Arny Bink, designer Klaus Mai a.k.a KM7 and editor Tim Stark were joining the presentation. Right after the Q&A part, Rolf did a special DJ set and once he was finished, I had the chance to sit down with him for an interview.
For this special ocasion I decided to ask him about the story behind the Jam & Spoon track “Follow Me”, which actually was the B-side of the Jam & Spoon hit single “Right In The Night”. And of course we spoke about the “Tripomatic Fairytales” book as well.
Enjoy and thanks for watching!

Which version / remix of "Follow Me" is your favorite one?
I like Jerome Isma remix, but personally i prefer Odyssey to Anyoona also is one of my favorites electronic tracks of all time, because it was one of the first tracks that led me into the vast and wide electronica world. ANOTHER GREAT INTERVIEW, THANK YOU!!!
i like the Alex di Stefano Rmx from 2019
David Forbes extended remix. 🎶🎧
The original is untouchable, in terms of which remix is best: Definitely, the Jerome Ismae remix which i first heard on Zhu´s Cerqule set. the remix captured the essence of the Original track very well
definitely original
jam & spoon have more than a dozen of memorable anthems...
the best electronic duo in history...
@@eduardotort1776 I love their stuff! That ‘s why there’s so many interviews with Rolf on my channel haha 😉
Best trance track ever.
Follow me is one of my favourite all time tunes and I still listen to it regularly. I love the journey of this magical tune ❤
I fell in love with a girl while this song was playing in a club. It was so long ago, and I still remember the lights, the ambience, every single detail. So to me this track is such an emotional thing.
Fabulous musician, 'Follow Me' is a deadly track that will always exist in electronic music
What a classic right??
@@muzikxpress mesmeric track 😎
thank you so much for doing this. Follow Me means a lot to me, and I would say this track was the anthem of Dorian Gray club on Sunday mornings when Marc Spoon was DJing. It sounded amazing on that sound system and the track moved us all emotionally.
Thank you! Always happy to see when people appreciate what I’m doing 😊
Thank you very much, I appreciate it. This is one of the most meaningful tracks in my life.
And thank you too!
This track holds a special place for me, this track has always touched me a lot, I discovered it during the golden age of raves in the 90s, it's the quintessence of a very special era. Everything was magical and everything was possible, a feeling of freedom never equaled. It’s only the people who were there, those who lived through these moments who can understand.
Follow me 💫💙
Hey Mate... Congrats for another amazing interview with Jam El Mar! Follow me tune for me it's a masterpiece beyond taking me to the good and old rave days.
Thank you very much!
A nerdy bit of info… the sound that plays the riff / melody is a trademark Jam & Spoon sound created by Jam el Mar in the Oberheim Xpander synthesizer
Today is 27 November 2023.
I'm back to this video,because on this day,back in 1966, Markus Löffel was born.
(27 November 1966 - 11 January 2006).
But you knew him better as Mark Spoon.
Happy birthday,Markus. We love you.
they just get better ;)
Another great interview, so many unrevealed infos to grab,
Thank you!
Follow Me is so god damn unique there’s really nothing else out there like it not to mention it’s like 2 tracks fused together the first part is completely different to the second
Thank you a very good interview
Thank you!!
I remember the release of this track. I was clubbing in London and the South coast and it just blew everyone away, especially as a closing track. I had so many good times to this track. Then after the clubs we'd roll a few spliffs, put the kettle on and listen to Triptomatic Fairytales on the CD system.
This is history of Trance music.
Thank to the creator Twan we can hear some great stories.
I hope these videos reach more people and bring them back their memories.
Thank you so much! And I hope so too, already very happy that this year I did pass the 25K subscribers and soon 2.5 million views in total. Let's see how it goes next year ;-)
Just bought the Limited Editon 30th Anniversary Triptomanic Fairytales Coffetable book ❤ And Follow Me has been one of my all time fav tunes❤🎉. Look forward to the interview!!
Nice one! We talk about the book as well, got my copy signed on the front by Jam El Mar, such a beautiful book!
Maybe the best dance track ever
Great interview! ❤
Thank you very much!
❤❤❤ I am so happy right now. Thank you, Twan! ❤❤❤
Thank you too, glad you enjoyed it!
Nice T-Shirt 😁
Limited edition one which was a gift to Jam El Mar from the Black Hole crew as far as I know! 🙌🏻
Thank You
One of my favorite track ever, not the kind of track you can play in a one hour set, but it still got its effect on people when you got time to build a big journey, truely timeless classic (and great for a seamless tempo transition)
I still remember mid-June 2020, when I and a little bunch of good friends, "escaped" the lockdown, for a night out in our mutual girlfriend's garden house outside the city. We had to hire a driver, so when the driver arrived, we all jumped into the car and drove away from the "lockdown city", to a neat garden house surrounded by fresh air, I had "Follow Me" on repeat, while driving (was about an hour or so...) I was so happy, We all could make this "silly escape" and the track in my headphones was so touching and so collaborative with this special moment!
I absolutely loved "Follow Me" for many, many years now, but around those hard times, the song hit differently! ;-)
I’m surprised it’s taking this long to interview him about this track after all the previous interviews as this track is so unique full of passion goes with saying
Why surprised? Don't forget that Muzikxpress is just a hobby and that I do everything myself, there's no big brand / team behind me. And very important, I have a very limited travel budget; I don't exactly live around the corner of where Rolf lives.... The last 2 times I did visit him in Frankfurt, I did 3 interviews per visit. Now he came to The Netherlands for the book presentation and the DJ set and there was time for 1 quick interview. He did sooooo many great tracks, so for the previous interviews I focussed on the tracks that had the most priority for me back then; the tracks that started it all for him and / or the projects we spoke about. There's still some other tracks I would love to talk about with him, but trust me, it is not always that easy. Time and travel budget are my main issues, Muzikxpress is not my job ;-) Hope you understand!
thank you for your great work @@muzikxpress
@@MarcS4R thank you 🙏🏻
My favorite DJ! All time best! Great interview! 🎶🎵
Thank you so much!
Great work Twan. I always wondered if this track inspired Dumonde - See The Light. They sound a bit similar.
Good one! I hope to do an interview about that track one day as well 🤞🏻
It is quite possible because Dominik De Leon told me he used Roland JD 990 for this portamento lead sound. And the JD 990 is the rack version of JD-800 the synth Rolf was talking about in this interview. So the same synth and very similar idea. And ofcourse I am waiting for Dominik interview. He is such an amazing producer who made so many classic tracks.
@@BSP_Muzik hopefully we can finally make this happen next year, we have been talking about it in the past already 🤞🏻
@@muzikxpress fingers crossed
A wonderful interview. Great insight and information. Thanks for it, Twan! A good listen.
Thank you so much!
Thank you Twan 🙂
I’ve been waiting for that interview for years, great track. Also interesting to hear him talking about the cover artist, jam and spoon covers really stand out.
Good work needs time 😂 Hope you enjoyed it!
Jam & Spoon! The best. Anyone know where to get that hat Rolf has on?
Maybe at the Magik Muzik shop from Black Hole Recordings. They sell merch too!
@@muzikxpress Found it, thank you. You're the best. Have loved all the interviews with Rolf. Appreciate you!
@@stateology9695 awesome! And thank you, always love to sit down with him and listen to his stories!
