You know Ibiza will always be a special place even though it has changed a lot from when I first started coming here, but again there still is nothing like it and will always hold a place in many peoples hearts. Is the island still the magical destination it's always been? Soon it will be the norm!įinally you've been a big part of Music On in Ibiza this summer. It’s nice to see that it’s still constantly growing and its becoming more accepted globally. And when something is new, you will always get a backlash of garbage and judgement without knowing the real culture. What are your thoughts on why the mainstream media latches onto negative stories about our culture so much?īecause to the media, it’s seen as something new. I'm not sure how aware you are of this recent news, but statistics are circulating suggesting a lot of the UK clubs are closing down which have been misleadingly reported as the downfall of rave culture in the UK, ignoring the fact people experience dance music in a plethora of different environments now. To feel the record in your hand to the quality of sound vinyl gives off. It’s always meant so much more to me that is was a physical thing as well. What is it about vinyl that makes it such an enduring medium for us to listen to music? Yes! We have a bunch of great artists coming up on the label with the likes of Marco Effe, DJ Hyperactive, Dustin Zahn, Roberto Clementi and hopefully myself thrown in the mix too in the New Year.
You've also got a vinyl only imprint in On Edge Society (listen to one of the releases above), as you mentioned - what else is forthcoming on that label in the future? Oh and a single on InMotion so yeah there is a ton of stuff to keep your eyes open for! Also you will see a new Sci+Tec EP, but that will be at the beginning of the new year. But I have a few remixes coming up. One for Stefano Noferini, another for Sian’s album and one more for The Basement Jaxx remix album.Īs for original stuff, I have a new collaboration with Paul Rich coming on Quartz, a new EP on Suara, and an EP on This & That the label of Davide Squillace. Obviously summer has been a bit slow, as I’ve been travelling like nuts and so haven’t released much. Where can we see your other productions coming up? I’m playing out the rest of year, but thinking to give the label a bit of a rest for now as I have my main focus on my new label/brand called On Edge Society. On the topic of Rawthentic what is going on with the label at the moment?Īt the moment I’ve just released a phat 3 track EP ‘Ballistic' from Macromism.
I feel we click so well on many levels, so the outcome is always great! Well, Nicole is definitely special - as a person, as well as musically. What is it about these shows that make them so special? You'll be teaming up once more with Nicole Moudaber for a Moodraw party. So yes, definitely looking forward to this next show!
Not to mention how great the hospitality from the guys here. The crowd was great and really up for it! I absolutely loved the venue too. What was your experience of the show last time, and are you looking forward to returning? So Carlo, you're heading back to Liverpool shortly to play at The Garage again. Instead everything he does exudes passion for both music and his craft (check him out in action below), and it’s enabled him to make his way towards the elite the right way.Īs he gets ready to touch down in Liverpool for one of his vaunted Moodraw parties with Nicole Moudaber, we caught up with him to discuss his new vinyl only imprint, dismissing the so called death of club culture and the constant allure of Ibiza. The techno figurehead ticks all the boxes of what a modern musician should do the killer productions, record label impresario and fiercely visceral DJ, but it ain’t on no career development vibe.
