STRAIGHT FROM AMSTERDAM

Dutch house has been a dominating sub genre of 2010 with big names such as Afrojack, Chuckie, Sidney Samson & more. Personally im in love, I think after 2008 when fidget died (IMO), there wasn’t anything that got me excited like those old school bass lines of 08. But as everything that gets big it slowly diminishes and with the dutch sound being talked about as being repetitive I am slowly agreeing. Especially with Afrojack being probably the king of Dutch and making quick tunes with lack of quality. But I think this man is on the money. Still only being 20 years old every tune I have heard has given me goose bumps.  So for this post we have an exclusive interview with the man who I think will bring big bangers in the years to come. The Chinese obsessed Gianni Marino. Now this interview is a little different from what you would usually read. And being my first interview and also Gianni’s as well

So Gianni, what made you want to be a DJ/Producer?

I was lying in my bed and my brother showed some tracks to a friend that tiesto played on his concert. When my brother was out of the room i sneaked on the computer and watched the track names and copied in a other map. I really thought wtf this is crazy music how do they make this ? So from that point i collected more music most trance, techno and progressive. I started to get my own music i was also a fan of armin van buuren and alot other trance djs. But after time my things happened and my style was changing all the time till i found house electro and some other crazy genres. I can tell a whole longer story about how i found out but i wont cause people are not waiting for big stories they just want to hear music.

What is your motivation/inspiration?

My motivations are : Hot chinese girls ( Asian girls ),Inspiration from an underground club in amsterdam called 301 where a party from basserk is going on every month always nice music ! I really like that party its really nice. And ofcourse from all the music ive listened to whole my life.

What equipment do u produce with?

I produce with my laptop ( for school ) and with ableton on it.

If you could work with anyone, who would it be?

The people i still wanna work with are : Dj Barletta, Mahesa Utura, Angger Dimas, Metsi and Crunkd. ( also some other people)
But this people for real cause they are real friends i drink with them vodka and angger merah and smoked cigarettes with them !

What is your ultimate goal?

My ultimate goal is to have no goal. Thats what bruce lee would say. My goal is to help other people with my knowlegde when my knowledge is good. And see the world with other music genres to learn from it.
