Alien Rain - Tribute II SNIPPET

Techno has been my guiding star for over 30 years. I've been listening to it since 1987, I've been dancing it since 1993 and it's a priority that determines almost every choice I make. My first declaration of love to techno took place in an abandoned factory on the Via Appia Antica in Rome, in the spaces now used for the management of the Appia Antica Park: the Latin paper mill. It was the first illegal rave I attended. That factory is the hospital where freedom gave birth to me. Later my musical tastes turned above all to the origins of the Sound of Rome. But recreating those sounds is taboo for me, you have to respect the pioneering spirit of those times and not decontextualize them. So I try to translate my irony, my anger, my addiction to adrenaline and dopamine into beat. I try to entertain, to make people smile and make their hair stand on end. Always seek for freedom. Be rebel
