East Project Podcast... Alfred Diaz!!

The 25th episode of the East Project podcast has finally landed and it comes form our good friends, Alfred Diaz!

Enjoy...


What are you doing right now?

I am currently working on new projects to be launched by different record labels early next year, but I have to say it has been a year in which I have also signed with several national and international labels like Drop Low, Soleid, Machete Red and recently with East Project.

Tell us what the music industry is like in the Canary Islands and what we should be looking out for?

Despite its small size, the islands have quite an impact where electronic music production is concerned, due to the large amount of talented producers. In recent years there have been several festivals that have had the participation of national and international artists. On the other hand, it has lost its club scene especially in Tenerife, due to the closure of several local iconic clubs from the electronic music.

What has been your favourite release so far?

Honestly I liked them all, but if I have to choose would be "Wanna Play a Game" because for me (House Of Hustle) is one of the most powerful labels with which I signed so far.

If you could choose any producer in the world to remix, who would it be and why?

Kolombo, Sirus Hood, Sharam Jey, Shiba San are great artists and I identify with what I have been producing so far.

What is your guilty pleasure song and why?


My guilty pleasure track is "Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam" this track marked part of my past and now the future...

East Project Podcast... Antony Toga!!

Due to their popularity, we are stepping things up with our Podcast series and will be bringing you more regular mixes from our family of EP friends and future heroes...

This time around we have the excellent Antony Toga from France, who's released on CUFF, Defected/Strickly Rhythm, Sleazy G, House Of Hustle and many more...

Enjoy!!



Tell us how your 2015 has gone and what have been your highlights? 

This year happened so fast ... many huge meetings and projects!

If I have to remember just two moments, I think I would keep my remix for Mr.V, Louie Vega (Master At Work) and SanXero released on Strictly Rhythm (and recently released on Defected Records with 'Ibiza Closing Party')!

The second moment was my meetings with fellas with great human qualities, like Andy Daniell (Defected), Bruno (Pachangastorm) and all the BlueDYE family, Tony (TheeCoolCats), Jan Essig (FromDropTillDawn), my Paulo Chantraine and all the HOH crew… to name but a few!

What are you up to at the moment? 

I'm very busy, right now … Remixes, EP!  2016 will be rich in events and projects with House Of Hustle, BlueDYE, East Project, Blacksoul Rec, Voyeur Music and maybe CUFF and Defected… Can't wait to see how this year will unfold!

If you could pick one track to remix who’s would it be and why? 

In fact, the track that I would pick to remix ... I just did it, three weeks ago!  It's River Ocean feat. India 'Love & Happiness', produced by Little Louie Vega!

Why this one?  'cause it's a classic track and one of my first vinyls!  Hope it will be released one day... So, keep your fingers crossed for me! 

Top 3 tracks of 2015? 

FromDropTillDawn 'Bass Kick' [CUFF]
Thee Cool Cats & Jamie K 'One Time' [ToolRoom]
Liu Bei 'Atlas World' (Solomun remix) [2DIY4]


What is your guilty pleasure track?

Ahaha!  Seriously… you really want to know?  Ok, I think it could be Limalh 'Never Ending Story'… It reminds me of my childhood! Cheesy enough… but produced by the Great Giorgio Moroder, so Respect! :)

East Project Podcast... Bruno Marangoni!!

Episode 23 of the East Project Podcast is finally here and yet again it showcases another great talent from South America...  Introducing the excellent BRUNO MARANGONI.

Expect nothing but the best House, NuDisco and G-House vibes!

Enjoy!!




Interview:

What are you up to at the moment?

Right now I'm very focused on my career, both in production as well as my touring schedule. This year was fucking awesome, many things have changed for the better and I'm working hard to keep it that way.

Who would be your dream remixer and why?

Shiba San! I follow his work long before I started producing. I get inspired by him a lot and I admire the quality of his sound. He is a well-known and world-renowned artist, it would be an honour to have a sound my remixed by him! I believe that this will also happen soon...

Describe your sound in 5 words?
Gangsta, Sensual, Aggressive, Innovative, Danceable
I think those words together and define my current sound.
What have been your highlights of 2015?
As I said, this year has been very cool!
Some of my best achievements was signing with major labels like Sleazy G, Beach Side, East Project, Prison Entertainment, among others... And also receiving supports from many renowned names. I think this certainly makes us want more and work better.
All this has helped me to perform in several different places. I hope 2016 is as good as 2015 has been!
Tell us what is your current favourite track?
All haha... I love all my tracks, but if I were to choose one it would choose BITCHES. It has not yet been released, but soon by Brazilian label MAZE.
I play it in all my sets and the audience response is always positive.


(Thanks guys, I send a hug to everyone, it was a great honour to have a little chat with you)
