DJL: -What do you think are the main differences in playing at a small
venue and a massive festival?
JC: -I think that the main differences are the bpm and the power of the music that an artist is playing…In the little clubs i like to play not so fast and range between Tech-House Deep Techno, instead in the big festivals or big clubs i like to play moore fast with a Techno dark and moore energy! Of course this is only my opinion beacouse there are artists that play the same sound both in a little clubs and both in the big festivals but I consider myself a pretty eclectic DJ beacouse i look everytime the dancefloor when i’m playing and i try to create the best atmosphere and energy in terms of what people want to hear, clearly not commercial, always moore undergrond around Techno but with shades wich range from Funky, Deep, dark or pumping, and more.
DJL: -The latest tendencies show the Deep House and Nu Disco as the styles that are been listened to the most, how is your outlook on that?
JC: -I think that the music is in a continue evolution and its normal beacouse after some time the artists want to evolve their sound to make the difference and, as we are looking in the recent times, also backwads the old sounds mixing it with the newest. For the mass this is the time of the Tech-House and deep, maybe next year we will come back to the old techno, etc, etc….we will see in the future, but i think that a real artist must do the sound that he has inside him, not follow fashions beacouse the music changes everytime and to make that an artist can be imprinted in the history must be himself and do always what he thinks to do, whether it will prove good choices, be it showing wrong choices…
DJL: -How is the present time on the electronic music scene in your country?
JC: -In Italy the electronic scene has matured a lot in the last 5 years. In the past Italy was in a big part commercial and in other part moore house, and the Techno was looked as a music for a few… Now there is a really good scene and good partyes but of couse there are cities more cultured and cities less cultured and the quality of the parties depends a lot from the staffs that organize them… I think that the city where i live (Naples) is the best one for the Techno style, there are a lot of good parties and good locations and the people go to dance not for fashion but for music! There are also other cityes where i spend everytime great parties, like Rome, Florence, Riccione.
DJL: -What are your upcoming projects until the end of the year?
JC: -I’m still preparing my first album from 4 months that will be release in January i think… It will include various musical genres like Techno, Minimal, Tech house, Electronic, Chill Out, Break Beat… is a way to open my mind and cross the barriers of my music culture and make the people listen all sounds and also emotions that I have inside me! Between September and November will be released 2 remixes for artists that i respect a lot and one track in a compilation for the 10 anniversary of CLR Rec (Chris Liebing’s label).
DJL: -You have been playing in our country a few months ago, tell us what
you remember from those days.
JC: -I was really glad to be in Buenos Aires in may, first because i love South America, and then because was the first time for me to play in Argentina… I really enjoyed the party, it was in a very very beautiful club called Bahrein, the club was full and the people was really hot and really cultured about my sound. Also the staff was really professional and they made me feel very well! I have a good remembers from Buenos Aires and i’m so excited and i’m looking foward to the SAMC…i think it will be a memorable event! See you there!
