Isolation #96

I could tell you how long I have been a DJ, how many clubs and parties I have played, and who I have opened for; but that would not explain to you the love and intense passion I have with electronic music. 

It all started more than 25 years ago while I discovered a pirate radio station on cable FM. There was no internet at that time. It was then I first heard the likes of Depeche Mode, Yello, and Divine, to name just a few. When I heard MARRS - Pump Up The Volume, I fell out of my bed and went nuts! I religiously listened every week to this station and recorded every episode on my Dad’s Dolby cassette player, which had the ability to record two channels…you see where this is going!

From there I discovered my father had a Donna Summers album, which had “I Feel Love” on it. I listened to that track a thousand times, and too this day it is my all time favourite track. Thus began my search for dance music on vinyl. What do you think I did next? Naturally I tried to mix one vinyl record, with another track from my Ghetto Blaster onto the two track cassette recorder. It wasn’t pretty by today’s standards, but the kids at school were amazed! They had never heard this music before! I started making “mix tapes” for my friends. I would spend all my money at the only record shop downtown. I would go there every weekend and spend hours upon hours crate digging for vinyl, then come home and just listen and record. So began the journey to a life of music, DJing and producing. 

Electronic dance music expresses emotion, can tell a story, and paint a picture. It encompasses every sound created and yet to be created, every genre of music is, and can be, layered within the heart of the bass drum. There is no other music that can do this, and that is why I love it. 

On that note: It is not dance music; it is music that makes you want to dance…

Artist from Russia with excellent musical taste. Andrey Gronsky took over the console in 2015 as a DJ, and in 2020 became a musician and producer.
He has been playing and writing energetic and high-quality Progressive House & Organic House for most of his life, skillfully and beautifully combining tracks in his own podcast called "Isolation".
Love for this world and people bring him inspiration and joy, and he transfers all his emotions into music.

Gatto Matto has been a DJ since 2004, though he is first and foremost an avid dancer and music lover.  He has an extensive collection, a very keen ear for track selection, expert ability to mix music together harmonically, structurally and emotionally, and is known for being able to take the dancefloor on an immersive journey through emotion and sound, with an energy and passion behind the decks not often experienced from other performers.

Gatto discovered the electronic underground in the year 2000 in Los Angeles, CA and has been involved ever since.  After the many ecstatic and transformational experiences he had on the dancefloor, he decided to become a DJ himself with the intention of creating similar kinds of experiences for others.  He had the privilege of joining the legendary Green Sector collective in early 2005.  Since then he has become an accomplished and versatile DJ, covering a broad spectrum of electronic dance music including psytrance, progressive psytrance, progressive house, tech house, breakbeats and more.  His current intention is to bring fun, lively and funky tunes to the stage to create an uplifting and emotionally charged experience while still keeping the crowd intellectually engaged.

He has performed with crews such as Symbiosis, Psytribe, Green Sector, Terrakroma, Pulse, Moontribe, Geomagnetic, T.O.U.C.H. Samadhi, Love Nation, Pulsar, Chilluminati, Electric Cocoon and many more.  His gigs cover a lot of terrain including black rock desert, the Mojave, the mountains and beaches of the west coast and various underground parties and venues too numerous to mention.   He has played at Circus Disco, Supper Club SF, 1015 Folsom, The EndUp, Ruby Skye and other respected clubs in Los Angeles and San Francisco.  He has also played abroad in Mexico, Europe and Central Asia.
