What are your primary career goals and aspirations as a DJ/producer in 2024, and how do you plan to achieve them?

For 2024 and the future I have two main objectives. Release on at least two top labels, and continue to grow my event and label brand The Cage.

Can you share some insights into your musical and creative resolutions for this year? Are there specific aspects of your sound or style you aim to refine or explore further?

I have my sound in my head and in general I can define it as Tech House with Acid variations. I want to follow this line.

With a new year ahead, do you have any exciting releases or projects in the pipeline that fans can look forward to? Can you provide a sneak peek into what's on your production horizon?

A song will be released together with Andrea Rubolini, at the end of January on my label The Cage, and an original together with Federico Rosa with remix by Mihalis Safras on the Shaman Records label. There will be two songs, one more House, and one Tech House which I care a lot about.

On a personal level, what strategies or plans do you have in place to maintain a healthy work-life balance in 2024, considering the demands of a DJ/producer's schedule?

This is a good question that everyone should think about. You should also think about private life and relaxation. It's really important to keep that in mind, we always go to 1000 and only think about our very worn-out working life afterwards.

We need to find the right mix between the two things, I think it's fundamental.

What do you believe sets you apart as an emerging artist, and how do you plan to leverage this uniqueness this year?

I think I have enough experience to be able to understand what the right things are in this field of work. I have been in this sector for 20 years now, and I have gained a lot of experience.

Can you outline any notable collaborations or partnerships you intend to explore in the new year, and what kind of creative synergy do you hope to achieve through these ventures?

Honestly, I have a dream that is also a partnership goal. But this is something I would like to keep to myself until it happens.

In terms of live performances, what are your touring plans or notable gigs lined up for 2024? Are there any destinations or venues you're particularly excited to visit and play at?

I will definitely do many live events both alone, and with The Cage. However, there is a goal, which is also a dream I have, that I want to achieve as soon as possible.

Beyond music production, do you have any non-musical ventures or interests you'll be pursuing in the new year, and how might they intersect with your music career?

I will definitely continue with my hobby which is mountain biking. I don't see any major intersections with music, but you never know in life.

What trends or changes do you foresee in the industry for 2024, and how do you plan to adapt and stay at the forefront of these developments in your career?

I think the hard techno movement that is going strong now is a temporary fad like reggaeton has been in the past years. I remain focused on my musical genre.

Looking ahead to 2024, what message or promise would you like to convey to your fans as they anticipate your journey as an artist to watch in the coming year?

The show continues!!!
