Some artists explain too much, and there are artists who let the record speak first. John Creamer belongs closer to the second group.

With ‘See You Again,’ his new collaboration with FALFÁN on Ready Mix Records, Creamer returns with a cut that connects past instinct with present energy. The release arrives with remixes by Joeski, Sebastián Corral, and BiGz, bringing different angles to a record rooted in groove, patience, and late-night movement.
When we caught up with Creamer, he was in Argentina, inside the studio with Sebastián Corral. “I’m excited about the release,” he says. “It’s a cool project, and we’ve got some great remixers involved.”
The collaboration with FALFÁN is not a casual one. Their creative relationship runs deeper than a single release. “We’ve worked together on a lot of projects over the years, and we still have a bunch of unreleased material,” Creamer explains. “He’s always been a good friend, a great engineer, and an important creative source.”
‘See You Again’ began during a very specific moment. It was created toward the end of COVID, when clubs and life itself were slowly starting to reopen. For Creamer, the first spark came from the melody. After that, the rest followed naturally.
“It all began with the melody, and then everything else just fell into place,” he says.
The title, however, was not meant as a sentimental statement. For Creamer, its meaning came more from feeling than narrative. The record reminded him of some of his older progressive material, and that connection helped shape the name. It is not nostalgia in the obvious sense. It feels more like a recognition of something familiar returning in a new form.
Ready Mix Records became the right home for that feeling. The label, led by Adel “BiG AL” Ghandour, has long stood for a patient, deeper approach to underground music. Creamer sees that clearly.
“Ready Mix has never chased trends,” he says. “They’ve stayed committed to quality music and artists they believe in. In today’s environment, that kind of consistency is rare.”
His respect for BiG AL also comes through without needing to be dressed up. “BiG AL has a genuine passion for music that goes beyond business,” Creamer says. “He listens deeply, supports artists for the long term, and is incredibly persistent when he believes in something. Running an independent label for that many years takes dedication and resilience. What I respect most is that he’s never lost sight of the music itself.”
That line says a lot. Not only about Ready Mix, but about what Creamer still values in the culture around him.
The remix package also reflects that same trust. With Joeski, Sebastián Corral, and BiGz each offering their own interpretation, Creamer prefers not to overdirect the process.
“I respect them doing their own thing and coming up with their own interpretation,” he says. “Unless they ask me for help or advice, I stay out of the way.”
It is a simple answer, but it points to something important. A good remix does not need to ask for permission at every turn. It needs space. Creamer seems comfortable giving that space.
In a time when many tracks are built for instant reaction, Creamer still believes staying power comes from something more basic and harder to fake.
“Keeping it real, with some intelligence behind it and enough danceability to connect with people,” he says.
That balance has always been hard to define. Too much calculation, and the music loses its pulse. Too little purpose, and it disappears after one play. For Creamer, the answer seems to live somewhere between instinct, depth, and function.
When asked what still keeps him curious about the underground, he points to new artists doing interesting things. But he is also clear about what needs to be protected.
“This isn’t just a business; it’s art first,” he says. “A little more respect for that would go a long way.”
For us at EG, that line lands close to home. It is the kind of thought that brings joy, not because it sounds idealistic, but because it reminds us why we still do this. Before the metrics, the campaigns, the algorithms, and the constant noise, there has to be music that matters. Creamer’s answer brings the conversation back to that place.
As for his own creative compass right now, Creamer answers with one word: “Deep.”
“That’s where I naturally gravitate,” he adds. “Ultimately, I just follow whatever I’m feeling in the moment.”
And when it comes to the spaces that still feel alive to him, his answer is even more direct.
“Small clubs and intimate spaces, with fewer cornballs.”
That might be the most John Creamer line in the whole interview. Honest, slightly funny, and probably true.
And maybe that is the thread running through the whole conversation. Stay deep. Stay honest. Give the music room to breathe. Keep the art first.
