Enjoy!!
Hi Gino, let’s start by introducing yourself?
I'm Gino Christiano, 28 yrs old. Born & raised in
Amsterdam. I've been playing music since I was 15, and started throwing parties
soon after and I've never stopped since! Both hobbies got out of hand, I've been
a professional party planner since I was 18 and later my DJ career grew way
more important from 5 years ago.
Last 3 years I've focused on learning on how to
produce music and develop my own unique sound. Now I have two DJ aliases and I
organize at least 3 parties a month.
Under Gino Christiano, I've just released
my second official single " Go Deejay" , deep but middle tempo
grooving track with a hip hop sample. Most of my inspiration comes from old hip
hop , R&B which I used to play and grew up with.
Tell us what you are up to at the moment?
A thousand things at the same time like I always do... But
working hard in the studio to get my new sound out! I used to play more hip hop
& RnB and now my sound is predominantly house, so I try to tell my
story with my new releases and bootlegs. I've made some new original tracks
which are completely in between styles, so would be cool if I got the chance to
show that to the world on a big scale!
Besides that, I'm going a little back to my roots by doing a vinyl only evening monthly in club Jimmy Woo in Amsterdam. I think it's time to show the difference between real DJs who also produce and the producers who are more products and don't really know how to play a proper set for their audience.
If you had to describe your sound in 5 words?
In no specific order: eclectic electronic uptempo garage
house
You are part of the Mother Music crew, tell us how you got
involved with that?
As DJing became more important to me, I missed a
platform for serious talent. Together with Hitmeister D I've started "De
Nachtbrakers" (literally translated as the nightcrawlers). As a group we
grew and helped each other and hosted some serious stages. A lot of talent came
from there like GirlsLoveDj's. It was the base and talent pool of what Mother
Music now is. A talent starts in de Nachtbrakers and end up in Mother music
agency and is ready for the big work. So I was also at the base of Mother Music
itself. But after a while the music side just dragged me into it and I love
being an Artist instead of sitting at my desk!
Your guilty pleasure track?
Because of a classics party i've organised for 10 years now,
I know a lot of guilty pleasures.... too many! If i had to pick the worst one:
Gigi d'agostini - l'amour toujours
