When did you first start to get interested in electronic music? Was it the influence of friends, family or did you find it yourself?
Well, I always liked music, since I was a kid. I used to listen to a lot of pop, dance, hip-hop and even adventured myself to dance for some time, around 2007. Because of that, in 2009 I tried Djing for my dance group class as we needed someone to mix the tracks together. The tracks that influenced me a lot were David Guetta Feat. Akon – Sexy Chick and on higher bpms was Growling Machines – Enjoy The Silence, I was not very decided about my musical taste until I heard Roy Rosenfeld in a local party, I was so surprised when I heard Thomas Schumacher – Fangbanger, that after that moment I never left techno.
How is the underground music scene in the country side of Sao Paulo? Do you feel it is getting better than before? What do you think would help techno to expand in your area?
The scene in the country side is still a bit poor but it has been growing in the last few years, I also feel that the people are more open minded about the parties every time, accepting to listen other styles, different from a few years ago. On my opinion, to make the local scene bigger, we would need more people to know our events, sharing more our work and looking to know more and show people what techno is about.
When did you start producing music and what made you start? Were you always producing techno or you been through other genres too?
The feeling of expressing myself was definitely one of the biggest reason in the beginning. I started producing EDM, at that time it was very famous and shortly after I went to Techno and Minimal, but today I only stick to Techno.
One all time artist or producer do you see as your primary inspirations and one that you recent discovered that is already a reference to you?
For sure one of my biggest inspirations is Jeff Mills, for me this guy makes incredible things since the time we would not mix digital with analog, something he always showed us. And a newer artist is Cleric, since I saw him in 2017 I can’t get his sounds out of my head.
3 artists you would you love to do a b2b with and why?
I think the first one would be Cleric, as I said before, he is an inspiration for me, so would be nice to start with him. Right after would be Sven Vath, because he is very practical on his sets and his mixing skills. For last, Ben Klock, this guy mixing skills is amazing, he is great mixing and sing fx, which a lot of djs do not know how to use it well. Each one of them are unique.
Tell me a bit about your mix. What can we expect from it?
You can expect on this mix, grooves and different techniques with fx and transitions, with loads of percussions and energy.
Favorite food?
My favorite food is Strogonoff.
