ON THE DECKS WITH RODRIGO MORANTO
1. So how and when did you start djiing and where did the aka Rio C come from;-)
I started dj ing at age of sixteen got involved with a friend who was already playing with turntables which got me into it. My first releases were under the name Rio C, later on created an alter ego - Rodrigo Moranto but having had good feedback on my Rio C tracks I decided to keep both running.
2. What style of house would you say you play?
I have a huge wide interest in variations of music in house music, I like to play deephouse techhouse, techno always with a certain groove in it.
3. Who are/were your influences?
My influences are from the early days are Tyree Cooper and Dj Fast Eddie. I liked their sound because the quality of key ingredients in their tracks, and although I didn’t realise it at that time being 13 years old. Piano, vocal and acid house was also a big influence on me back then.
4. So you have been in the house music industry for quite a while. How has this evolved when looking at it from a dj/producer perspective?
It envloved maybe like many producers, I was always messing around djing, making music when it stepped up a gear when I first did a live act at friends party with an low cost sampler and a drummachine. I knew then I wanted to make tracks because the feeling of people dancing on your music was great to see .
5. You have produced a lot of tracks to include one of my favs, 9 Bazz which was used as the cover track for trade 21st birthday. So which do you prefer being on the decks or being in the studio?
Haha, that 's a hard question, I like both actually I get different kind of feelings in the studio as when you're playing in the studio your more focused when I am playing I am in a different more of a party mood.
6 More recently with Nick Tcherniak, ”In my zone”, how did you become involved in that?
That was because Nick had a mix album released with my track 9 Bazz and send me a simple message that he like the track very much he always played it so from there we moved on and start making tracks.
7. Where do you play in the Netherlands?
I guest at several clubs festivals name and REAL house partys, if you know what I mean!
8. So who if anyone right now would you love to dj with back to back with your sound?
I think that will be Nick Tcherniak because we produce together and that’s going great but we never played together so I think that will be a great thing to do sometime.
9. Your ultimate venue...where would you like to play, if you already haven't done it?
There is a thing I like to do playing on Ibiza in Space, that will be ultimate :)
10. So more to come from you in 2013?
Yes I very busy now with Nick Tcherniak we have already finished a track and I have 1 track now on the podcast that I finished recently it’s the last song of the podcast and I have some projest to finish so whilst I still love music- I keep going ;-)
