Jewelz & Sparks
Jewelz & Sparks is a German DJ and production duo consisting of Julius Voigtländer (born 1984) and Gregor Brechmann (born 1991) that formed in 2011, and they are one of the most successful German EDM projects. The duo is best known for their collaboration with Quilla on the single “Unless We Forget”, released on Revealed Recordings in January 2014 and “Pharaoh”, released a few months later. Even before merger, both musicians were active as DJs and producers. Jewelz, with Josh the Funky 1, released a remix of “The Groove” on Groovebox 2008. A year later he appeared along with Meesh on the single “If U Luv Me”. Scott Sparks was active on Straight Line Records, releasing his debut single “Insane” in 2011. They met while studying music production and business at the Popakademie Baden-Württemberg. Although they did not go in the same class, but learned to know each other because of their same musical taste. In addition, both produced their music in a similar way. After their meeting, they decided to start a first collaboration. The duo said that they developed their ideas via Skype and continued or run these by reference into their Dropbox saved file. After that, they began making a song but only if they both are together in their studio.
