AT WHAT AGE DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR LOVE FOR MACHINES AND MAKING MUSIC? I've always been surrounded by music, my family has a strong musical background. Since I was a kid I had the passion for hacking, hardwares and electronics. At the age of 15 I started sequencing drums and playing synths on top, that was great for me as got in one thing my two passions for music and electronics/futurism. YOU ONLY USE OUT BOARD GEAR, WHY DONT YOU COMBINE NEW SCHOOL TECHNOLOGY WITH THE OLD? I do combine new and old school, I like playing house and techno jamming with mpc and hardwares, for other music I use digital equipment, I use Bitwig studio with a Nektar Panorama. Some music needs to come straight out, you jus play around and you got a track done in less than an hour. For some other music it needs a very long time and possibly a really fast calculating machine, there I use most the softwares. YOU ARE A RESIDENT FOR THE MIGHTY CIRCO LOCO, WHEN AND HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? 5 years ago, after a halloween party they called me on the phone and asked me to join the crew. I was never there before I went to play for the re-opening, they were shut for one year and I just got to play in the terrance to re-open it, I just started playing, they opened up the doors and like a hundred people came in already dancing. Was great! WHAT PROJECTS ARE YOU CURRENTLY WORKING ON? I work on night drivers with my mate Rufus, where is pure dance floor stuff, I have Tru West, a more experimental/impro band with many musicians, With Cirillo we have the Quarantena project, with Herva the Hermess project, we have the Leftovers debut really soon, another impro band I play with friends. WHAT FOURTH COMING RELEASES HAVE YOU GOT COMING UP? I have a mini album coming on Further records, holic trax and claap as nightdrivers, The leftovers debut EP on Marmo, my own album on my label Wo Land that is gonna be something really different from anything else I ever did, there are both softwares and hardwares inside, the result is pretty intense and violent, deafening issues if played too loud! IF YOU COULD INVENT A NEW GENRE OF MUSIC WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? No rave, I already wrote the manifesto! It's a joke but as they did the 'New Rave' I was expecting someone doing it. WHATS THE MOST EXPENSIVE PIECE OF KIT THAT YOU WANT THE MOST ? A concert vibraphone, I love that instrument since a long time, I have been writing a couple pieces for percussions and I heard them many times, I use the marimba more but the vibraphone has sustain and 'vibrato'. I really would love to have one in my studio. IF YOU COULD CHANGE ONE THING IN THE WORLD WHAT WOULD IT BE? This question.
