Do you think there has been a Soundscape surrounding you since your childhood? Does it influence your preferences towards certain timbres or atmospheres while you select tunes?
For sure, I grew up in the family, where music takes place 100%. My dad is an ex DJ, so I was surrounded by Italo Disco, rock and eurodance since my first steps on earth.
How and where was the mix recorded?
In my studio, with the first summer sun through the windows.
Could you tell us the idea behind the mix? Any favorites you want to highlight?
Classic recipe of something new, forgotten and weird for your missed dance moment. With so exclusives from my friends and me too.
Would you like to use this occasion to introduce one of your album or tracks? What was the concept of it?
My latest EP was debut on the legendary Turbo Recordings, "Voodoo Gym" with 4 original tracks, based on heavy percussion and a good slice of bass.
At the end of July I released my second EP on Playground Records, it's called "Swing Ride." True 4x4 experience, with hope to be tested on the dancefloor!
How do you think of the differences between the rave scenes around you (your country) and other countries (cultures) ? Have you ever been to one that left you a greatest impression?
I think all rave scenes are very different, and it's unique as all aspects of our native culture. People have different languages around the world, and totally different approaches to dancing, as well as music taste.
Apart from DJ, how would you define your role in the entire rave scene?
To be only a DJ these day it's totally not enough. From my side I probably have all elements of this machine - I started as a DJ, later got into music producing, runned my radio show for 10 years, was club agenda manager and now I am starting to run our label with my friend called "Good Skills".
Which artists or labels have pricked your ears recently? Could you share with us some of your favorite movies or artists?
It's always hard to say favourites, but recently I was in love with the new Simple Symmetry album, Australian House music reborn by Eden Burns and Vanessa Worm
