Now, let’s dive into our exclusive interview where we explore his journey, creative process, and what fuels his open-minded approach to music.
What first drew you to electronic music at such a young age, and how did it shape your early experiences as a DJ starting at 17?
If today I’m a DJ ,one of the people I have to thank is my school mate who has brought me the audio cassettes recorded at the clubs of those years. I was really young, I was 13 but I fell in love with electronic music. They were techno clubs so basically it influenced completely my first years of djing as I was fully immerged on all variety of techno music.
How did attending events like Microfusa School in Barcelona and win talent contest in Ibiza influence your decision to fully dedicate your life to music in 2006?
If I have to be honest they didn’t influence my decision, but they gave me the power and the consciousness to be in the right way.
Can you walk us through your transition from DJing to music production in 2010, and what inspired your early releases like the Porto Alegra EP?
It was a time when DJing was becoming popular, and many young people began to dedicate themselves to this profession. So the way to gain recognition among the masses was to produce good music and release it on major labels.
I’ve always been inspired by tribal vocals and sound, so with Porto Alegra I decided to do something happy that could remind people of the carnival season.
Looking back, what stands out most about becoming the most prolific artist on Carl Cox’s Intec label with nine EPs, and how did that partnership evolve?
Carl has been my mentor in music and in life. I’ve been following him since I started to listen to international artists around 2002. So imagine how important it is for me to be the most prolific artist of his label where some of the biggest names of the techno scene have released their music.
My partnership with Carl evolved in a great and natural way. I had the chance to play before him in 2011 at Tini’ Club in my home town and from there all began. I first started to send him my promos since he asked me to send him some demos for his label till my first release arrived.
So I decided it was the time to push our connection and I started to travel for years around the globe to meet him at the venue where he was playing. From then something happened and it started a big respect and friendship between us.
As a resident at Tini’ Soundgarden for seven years, what were some of the most memorable moments sharing the stage with artists like Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, or Adam Beyer?
During this residency I had the honor to share the booth with a lot of great artists. It allows me to grow up professionally and to learn different and interesting skills from all of them. But that period also helped me to get a lot of important contacts in the music industry and to be recognized by people.
Maybe one of the most memorable moments was when I opened the night at Richie Hawtin. I started to play at 11pm and by 1am the club was almost packed, I think there were around 3000 people, but Richie decided to play only 2 hours and he started at 2.30am so I had to play 1 hour and a half more in front of all these people waiting for him, it was absolutely crazy.
How did getting invited by your mentor Carl Cox to play the main room at Space Ibiza in 2016 for the final season of his Music is Revolution party change your perspective on your career?
Wow, that moment was epic and unbelieveable, the first main event outside Italy. It didn’t change my perspective, I was very proud of this goal but I knew there was still a long way to go.
With releases on labels like Hot Creations, Moon Harbour, and Truesoul, how do you approach blending techno with groovy, rhythmic house sounds depending on the club or crowd?
It was a process. As I said before I was born during the techno scene in Italy when I was young, but growing up I started to appreciate all kind of music, house, minimal, deep and it influenced not only my productions but also my dj sets. So basically I choose the music depending on the clubs or the countries where I’m gonna play.
Diving into the production side, what technical elements—like specific synths, effects, or mixing techniques—did you experiment with to create the infectious groove in your hit track “Brr Baby Brr” on Hot Creations?
I will be very fast with this question.
The main effects that characterized this track is the oscillator that brings the drop to another level.
Reflecting on “Brr Baby Brr” reaching #4 on Beatport Overall and #3 on the Tech-House chart, what challenges did you face in crafting a track that resonated so widely and got played by DJs worldwide?
Honestly you never know you are going to do a hit while you are making music.
When I’m in the studio I just do music and Dj Fronter and me we were doing some stuff to send to Jamie Jones for his label and we finished Brr Baby Brr. For us it was a good track so we decided to send him, he started to play it everywhere with crazy reactions from the crowd and it became viral.
If you could collaborate on a dream remix or compilation today, who would you pick and why, just for fun?
There are two anthem tracks that characterized many years of my clubbing life when I was young, so I think I would choose between one of them to do a remix:
Dj Rolando – Jaguar or Cj Bolland – The Prophet.
