We sit down with Italian DJ, producer and Music On resident Ale De Tuglie to discuss his style of music, his work with Marco Carola, production tips and much more.<\/p>\n
Hey Ale, how are you, how has your year been?<\/b><\/p>\n
Hey guys, nice to meet you. All good, thanks. Well, what to say, this has been a fundamental year for my artistic growth, I\u2019d say a turning point, as it gave me the chance to travel all around the world and finally touching base in some of the greatest clubs and venues in the scene, but at the same time it also gave me the chance to play in smaller club, but being there as a guest.<\/p>\n
What is the Italian scene you came up in? Was it Italian styles that first turned you on to electronic music?<\/b><\/p>\n
Well, I\u2019ve been living in the Bari (South Italy) scene. it\u2019s not exactly about Italian style. Simply, I started attending parties with Italian and international artists and I\u2019ve been listening to electronic music from different artists, both from Italian and from the rest of the world ones, and, after many listening and many years tasting music and creating my own taste, started following a style and a sound that I really felt mine and that I really identified with.<\/p>\n
And what is your own style now, how long till you found your own signature sound?<\/b><\/p>\n
My style, currently, is in between tech house and minimal, but I enjoy some old school house tunes and it\u2019s not rare that I even play some in my sets. What primarily helped to find my own signature sound was to understand who I am. I badly wanted something that musically could speak for me, that really could represent me, what I am in my everyday life \u2013 substantially a playful guy \u2013 and that\u2019s it. This is the genre that can really help me to express myself.<\/p>\n
