Interview:
Where are you from and where do you live now?
I‘m from Romania and I live in a town called Targu Mures. It’s a smaller one but it’s a nice one.
How was the music scene growing up? How has it influenced your music and shaped you into the producer/dj you are today?
I can’t really say that the music scene of my childhood has helped me or influenced me. I also can’t really say that musical talent runs in my blood or that my father was some great musician and I inherited his skills… Of course I’ve always loved music but I never thought that it was what I was going to do… it just simply came into my life and I’m really happy that I’ve found what I really love doing. I’ve always been more interested in music production than DJing, so naturally I started my career as a producer in 2009. I took it much more seriously last year in 2010, putting out a few releases but I think this year has been the most productive and I feel it has taken me to the next level. Basically, this year has instilled trust in myself and provided me with the energy to push forward. Everything has just come together simply and clearly.
“Armed only with a garlic necklace two brave adventurers from ALiVE set off to Romania, the legendary home of Count Dracula – the original after hours freak – in search of musical inspiration. Taking care only to travel during daylight hours we made for the market town of Targu-Mures in the heart of Transylvania, where lurking in a dark booth we found another of the region’s infamous freaks, dj/producer & Cimede Records boss, Atapy.
“Be aware, for anyone who hears the hypnotic rhythms entwined with the artist’s suggestive vocals will fall under the curse of the Undead. They will be destined to congregate in a zombie-like state wherever there be darkness and electronic music, until such time as they are driven through with a wooden stake.
“Such a fate befell our re-mixers Inxec (Crosstown Rebels, Culprit, Leftroom) and JMX (who has EP’s forthcoming on 2020Vision & ALiVE) who, having tampered with powers beyond their mortal understanding, were found dangling bat-like from the rafters of Room 2 in London’s Fabric Nightclub.”
