SPTL138: Andrea De Niro

The 2012 winner of Carl Cox's Revolution DJ competition steps up to the Spotlight podcast plate.


The Mix

Talk us through the track selection of the mix.

"Mainly, this mix is a continuation of my warm up set in Athens for Carl Cox's Revolution Recruits Night at Gazi Music Hall. It includes some of my tracks selections and reflects the vibe of the night..."

Where and how was the mix recorded?

"It was recorded in my home studio late one night. I'm working in this way to bring me the desired results. Nightime always gives me a special vibe and mood to create a unique set."

What are the musical influences that have allowed you to arrive at this mix?

"This set describes my process from deep/tech influences to techno sounds and tech breaks to make the set more upbeat."

The Plug

What is keeping you busy at the moment? Do you have any productions in the timeline?

"I'm working on some of my productions but they are still in progress, I intend to finish my first EP at the end of July. I had already uploaded some of my first productions on my page on Soundcloud. Also, a radio show and a label establishment, called Northline Records, is getting planned."

You won the the Carl Cox Revolution Recruits DJ competition in 2012, which was nice I imagine?

"Indeed, it was very cool and helpful at the same time. My first steps became at Space alongside Carl Cox. This motivation keeps me strong to provide myself courage and determination for the rest..."

How have you benefitted from the competition? You opened for Carl Cox in Greece didn't you?

"My warm up set for Carl in Athens is one of the most important benefits. Also, my election as the first winner of the competition and my performance last year at Space gave me more will and more expectations about myself to improve my skills and my experience."

Where might we see you playing in Ibiza this year?

"Something is on the way but is too early to tell more before official announcements."

Really, having just started to break out as a DJ, where do you hope to be in a few years time?

"It's all about work. If you work hard and wait patiently you be rewarded. If you are lazy, not. Being creative and working at a high level are some of my personal goals. As for the next few years, my hopes are playing alongside talented artists."

Finally, you have a weekend off. What do you do? Where do you go?

"I was go for a weekend in my hometown to meet some of my friends, but now I'm back at my base to keep working."
