Opening for Carlo Lio was a great experience. I had to think and
research well for my set, him being a versatile international
talent whose techno style varies, yet its always on point.
Thoughts: how do I want to start steering the "ship"? What music
should I put in my digi crate? I m usually armed with about 80 new
tracks for any major event, but I didnt know what to focus on this
time: I felt the music had to be techno, but not too fast (duh - I
m opening)but headlining the last couple times I caught my ears
wired toward peak hour energy material that was not going to work.
Other decision: shall I play american or european techno, what to
have as a back up in case the crowd is not ready for the brand new
releases from just days and weeks ago? shall I have something
familiar - should I sneak in deeper stuff? or how about some
minimal or acid tracks? Words vs no words ( I prefer zero vocals
but wanted to push my boundaries a bit) Will Carlo be able to link
in and continue the "story" us opener started? I felt I did alright
;) Love thinking about music, the audience, bringing new
underground stuff to the table, and ponder about the crowds
reaction. I feel at one point if its done right the audience and
the DJs think as "one", vibe together - and thats the BESTEST
feeling ever for a musician like me. Thanks for all who came out to
the event! If you are on Resident Advisor, I would greatly
appreciate your support by "favoriting" / " liking" me as one of
your artists. The RA website has been lately the go-to source for
many talent buyers, club owners, and promoters - hence the need to
boost those numbers a little bit ;)
