Do you think the connection with the
public is being lost?
The connection with the public suffers from a lot of
what has come between music and the public, namely social
networks and cell phones in general. It seems that we no
longer know how to connect if we don't have a laptop in our
hands.I remember a time when it was forbidden to show
cameras in a nightclub and that made the magic on the
dance floor and the connection between people much more
real than taking so many images, selfies and recordings.
How do you see the future of the
music industry?
The future of the music industry is more difficult to
predict than ever, especially when you take into account the
growing role of technological advances in MAO and artificial
intelligence, but I believe that in the end we will always find
a way to Music continues to be something important for
people for their happiness and well-being. So I have no
doubt that the music industry knows how to evolve with its
time and still reserves many sensations for us.
What are your next projects?
I am currently developing musical works to perform
with the sifu group in various galas in Spanish theaters. It is
about combining symphony orchestra singers and electronic
music with artists from the diverse world. We have already
done 5 galas in Barcelona, Madrid, Malaga, Mallorca and
Valladolid and the result is impressive. Full house, lots of
energy, quality and atmosphere. I recommend you go to one
of them when you are close. It is called Gala Superarte and
is organized by the SIFU foundation.
artistic profession.
I guess the only recommendation I can give to
people who want to get into this world of music is to
leave doubts aside, work hard and go for it without
fear.
Digital, Vinyl, CD's or a mix, and why?
Digital, because it s more easy to carry alone and
the quality is also very nice in wav files. Because also there
is more music to choose and play and more datas to use as
information about the tracks, bpm keys etc…Although I think
older supports are important most of all to learn the mixing
techniques so I would say digital connecting points to
analogue ways.
Tell us what you think of all these
fake DJ’s and so blatantly getting
caught out!
What I think about fake DJ’s is the same of what I
think about the fake in general. It doesn't touch only music
but absolutely everything in general and more the fake is
fake more it works because this is unfortunately what our
times are about until it comes a new works, a new
consciousness that makes one day drop the masks. It’s true
for absolutely everything in this workd where people walk on
the head!
Who would you like to work with you
have not?
Ok look, I have a lot of admiration for the 3
founding artists of a group from the 80s making incredible
music between New Wave and electronica. This is the Swiss
group «Yello» composed since its inception of Carlos Perón,
Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. To work with them one day
and enter the secrets of how this group produces and
composes would be an honor and a huge pleasure!
In another record, a group that inspires me a lot
and that has been out of all kinds of competition for its
originality, its creativity and its magical melodies are "The
Cure" And if you ask me to choose an iconic song that was
going to inspire techno for the next 40 years, I would say
New Order's "Blue Monday."
Some advice for the young aspiring
DJ's and producers, and for people
with disabillity, who want to dedicate
themselves to music or another
