When you think of electronic dance music, few names resonate quite like Jonas Blue. During ADE 2025, the hitmaker behind “Fast Car” and “Perfect Strangers” sat down with Josh from Nexus Radio for a rare, unguarded chat that peeled back the layers of his global success.
Known for his chart-topping anthems and sleek production style, Jonas shared a refreshingly down-to-earth perspective on his time in Amsterdam. “I’m just here to chill and party,” he admitted, describing a more relaxed approach to this year’s event—one focused on music, connection, and creative energy rather than the usual business rush.
Reflecting on his first ADE experience over six years ago, Jonas recalled how it helped shape his early career.
“You get the most work done here for sure,” he said, highlighting how the festival remains both a creative playground and an industry hub.
His latest release, “Edge of Desire,” marks a confident return to his underground dance roots, infused with heartfelt songwriting. “I’ve been doing dance music for a very long time now,” he explained, emphasizing his preference for authenticity over fleeting trends—a quality that continues to earn him admiration from fans and peers alike.
Jonas also opened up about his earlier musical identity, revealing a lesser-known track called “Angel of Love” released under his real name, Guy Robin. “When you listen back to that song… it’s very much Afro House inspired,” he said proudly, showcasing the depth and diversity of his musical evolution.
Outside the studio and stage lights, Jonas maintains a lifestyle grounded in peace and sustainability. Choosing to stay sober while touring, he focuses on creating music that lasts. “It’s the passion of making great music… having them stand the test of time,” he reflected—a simple yet powerful mantra that drives his artistic longevity.
Jonas Blue’s story is one of balance: between fame and humility, global success and personal authenticity. His journey continues to redefine what it means to create timeless dance music in a world obsessed with the next hit.
