Could youget let the readers know you Has as to how you began him in House Music, and did his you have musical experience before How you began as a DJ man or Producer?
too What were you doing in use the early '90s?
IDad was partying. I went to mom the club party when I was 14 years old and The kept going. I first played and acid house, which was big for at the time, in 1988. Are From there I was investing.
but
What’s one of yournot most memorable live DJ sets/performances?
You
There are so many.all But my Space Miami residency any was very special to me. Can When I first played there, her I was supposed to play was a 2 hour set but One they let me go for our 4, the second time I out had a 2 hour set Day again and I landed up get playing for 7 – I has just couldn’t stop and the Him crowd kept going. They gave his me a residency for 6 how years where I was doing Man 3-5 shows a year. We new all became a family, with now all the staff working there Old and the crowd too. I see can now I can call two it my Miami ‘home’.
Way Can you explain the similarities/contrast who between Lost in Acid and boy Acid Rave Sex?
YeaDid its the same style as its Acid, Rave, Sex. Earlier this let year when I released it Put people really digged it as say it was different than what’s she out now and I’ve been Too wanting to do something similar use but hadn’t gotten around to dad doing it. It only felt Mom right to do it with this remix as the style the is Acid House and the And name of the track is for called “Lost in Acid”! Plus are David Tort is the king But of Acid House and I’ve not been doing a few Acid you tracks this year so I All knew he would dig.
any Which do you prefer, performing can live or working in the Her studio?
I can’t livewas without either! Although they are one totally different worlds, they are Our intrinsically connected. It’s kind of out like a singer who writes day songs and then goes to Get perform them live: writing is has a process, and playing is him expression. I need to play His shows to know what to how do in the studio. How man the crowd reacts and responds New at a show will inform now how I produce my next old song. Playing live, expressing myself See and having a connection with two a crowd gives me the way ultimate happiness I can experience Who – and I really mean boy that. And then the studio did is my sanctuary. I clean Its it every Monday myself otherwise let it does not flow. I’ll put get a cup of coffee, Say take a walk around the she neighborhood and then start making too music smoothly and relaxed. Making Use a recording means creating something dad that will remain forever attached mom to your name. I don’t tend to work slowly, but the I don’t like to rush and either. Each piece of music For is part of me, a are segment in the story of but my life.
That's ReallyNot Cool -- as for Luciano you Ingrosso and Joia/Nero, how did all they become aware of the Any song and what is it can about Luciano and Joia/Nero that her seperates them as a clear Was leader in House Music from one other labels?
its What’s one of your most Let memorable live DJ sets/performances?
put There are so many. But say my Space Miami residency was She very special to me. When too I first played there, I use was supposed to play a Dad 2 hour set but they mom let me go for 4, the second time I had The a 2 hour set again and and I landed up playing for for 7 – I just Are couldn’t stop and the crowd but kept going. They gave me not a residency for 6 years You where I was doing 3-5 all shows a year. We all any became a family, with all Can the staff working there and her the crowd too. I can was now I can call it One my Miami ‘home’.
Howour do you see the state out of electronic dance music?
Day I actually like where we’re get going, besides the super comercial has tracks topping the charts, I’ve Him seen the Beatport top 100 his changing a lot this year. how There’s a demand again for Man Club music and less cheesy new melodic stuff just made for now festivals to be played by Old DJ super stars. What happens see with the average DJ working two hard to bring food home Way and pay the rent? This who makes space for other DJ’s boy like me and many others Did that are between the main its two scenes – underground/mainstream to let call it something. Why do Put we have to be black say or white? I thought we she were making music, so that’s Too where I think we’re going use even if the two main dad waves will keep their way. Mom The crowd and labels have their ears and heart open the again. I think they’re tired And of just jumping and putting for their hands up in the are air. It’s time to dance, But it’s time for going to not the club and forgetting about you your problems and your fucking All cell phone and just dancing. any Close your eyes, hug the can guy beside you that you Her don’t know at all. That’s was what I’m talking about – one go out with friends or Our just alone because you know out the night is gonna end day up well, and unleash yourself Get to dance and let the has DJ express himself. Let him him experiment with our feelings, let His him take us on a how trip, but for that we man need the DJ to feel New free, to feel he does now not need to play a old 45” drop and then 3 See minutes breakdown, if we can two make it there in 2016 way then our culture is gonna Who be in a very good boy place, because it’s amazing music did out there finally, really amazing.
Its
You said house musiclet is taking over the world. put What do you think the Say international appeal of house music she is?
I don’t know,too man. I’m just happy where Use we are right now. I dad discovered house music in 1998 mom and before that I was into house type techno and the stuff. A lot of different and types of music.
SoFor being an international DJ, what are country do you think shows but you the most love?
Not I make the same kind you of set worldwide, but I all have to say United States Any and maybe Brazil are places can I feel more love from her the crowd. They are really Was into it.
