TECHNO AND TECHHOUSE MUSIC! In less than a year as a producer hit top sales in the genre techhouse, carrying on their first EP “House in Flames,” a top # 11 in 2012 and then inserted into an EP (Straight Up) alongside big names such as national and international: Felguk, Tim Healey, Da Fresh, Kiko, Luthier, Glitter, Citizen Kain, among others.
SUM : Hello mate , thanks for taking the time to talk with us, How’s been 2013 so far for your career?
It has been a special period and transition to professional growth and improvement in my productions in the Techhouse Scene. Major releases were made. Still others come out this year. The year 2013 was a fantastic level of music production for my career.
SUM: You have made Big Alliance Deep, the home of your music. Titles such as “Stranger Groove” , “This is Better” and “That Crazy Groove” have been released and featured in our sub-label. What is coming next?
Big Alliance Deep is very special to me, I feel at home. My next step is to produce more and more. I have many new things reserved for next year and Big Alliance Deep still see a lot of work.
SUM: How would you describe your style?
This difficult question. I do not know to set it, just step into the music what to feel right now. Technically a mix of Techno and House.
SUM: How many hours a day do you see yourself doing your magic in your studio?
Music has increasingly solidified. Today I have produced about 8 hours a day. Some days I get to 10 hours.
SUM: Have you thought about Djing? When?
I’m in an opposite way. I started producing in late 2011, I started to think Djing has little time, in 2012.
SUM: So far what you think has been the highlight of your career?
This is complex. I believe that even now, in a matter of explicit result, a top 11 at Trackitdown in 2012, then a few more in same year, including this year(2013) with the track Stranger Groove that reached top67 in TID too. Personally, my highlight: supporters of the DJ PP and Mario Ochoa, who are icons to me.
SUM: What are your top 5 tracks at the moment?
For me: Simple As That, Stranger Groove, Without, This Is Better, Voyage.
SUM: What is your take on this digital world we are living in? and what is your take on music piracy?
Everything evolved. When we talk about everything technology changes all the time, that goes for the good things and the bad. The digital age has helped a lot. Facilitated our work, added to other possibilities. Conversely piracy grew together. It’s very difficult to control. I am against. Some people do not realize the work that is to finalize a track.
A message for Pirates duty: If the music you heard is actually relevant to you, buy it. You play, to win it, and this is the product you should invest for their return at the end of your work.

SUM: The DjMag Top 100 2013 Results. Fair or Scam?
Scam.
SUM: What would be a piece of advice that has helped you in your career?
When my father told me about this, and after having understood, helped me so paramount: “The mountain of life has no top, whoever is at the top, whatever it is, is down, down to the annihilation of the mind and shortening the path to death, so death itself to death as professional. Never. Never look down and say – Oh, I’m on top! The top does not exist, that there is unlimited ambitions, and when we got near our goal is best to look further up. Nobody will be ‘champion of everything’ because there is still a title to be won, the title of the impossible: beat yourself.”
