- Hey Rimbano, thanks for taking the time to chat with us. How are you doing today?
Hey, thank you so much for having me! I’m doing well, just left the studio after a productive session.
- Let’s kick things off with your latest release ‘Safada’. How has it been to see such a positive reaction to the release?
When I was making “Safada” I didn’t expect this much support from big DJs on international stages, but this led to the buildup of pre-release hype. So many people asked me personally for the track after Andruss played it at EDC Las Vegas, so I’m glad it’s finally out so people can play it out and enjoy it.
- Released on Andruss’ Drop Low Records, how happy are you with this home for the track?
I’m stoked to have “Safada” out on Drop Low Records! I’ve been following Andruss for a while now and his style influenced my productions a lot, so I was honored when he asked me if the track was available for a release on his label.
- This single, along with your previous releases, has been receiving support from some massive names, how is it to see your music being played by these legends?
I’m excited everytime I receive a video of my music being played by big names like Cloonee, Gordo and Acraze. At this time I received dozens of videos of them playing my tracks Safada, Colombiana and a lot of unreleased ones. I worked so hard on my sound in order to have a unique identity, and I’m so grateful for the fact that such big acts are recognizing it, but also for the fact that people keep sending me those videos, showing that they recognize a track of mine inside a 2-hour DJ set thanks to my signature sound.
- You’ve crafted your very own signature style for your music, can you tell me about how this percussive house style came about?
When I first approached Latin Tech House, the first thing I noticed is that many producers use the same sounds in their productions, making them indistinguishable from each other. In order to stand out in the industry, I decided to add ethnic and multi-cultural elements to my productions, such as particular percussions and carefully selected vocals.
- How important is it for you as an artist to have your own sound?
I believe it is fundamental in such an oversaturated market. Having a unique and distinctive sound helps artists get bigger opportunities, both in terms of label releases and live shows, as well as support from DJs worldwide. The more your tracks stand out in a DJ set or a label releases catalog, the more opportunities you’ll be given by the market.
- If you were to make a track with another DJ, who do you think would be the perfect match for your music?
Definitely Andruss or GREG (BR). They are both leading names in the worldwide Latin Tech House scene, and my production style fits well with theirs. I already have a track with GREG (BR) in the works and we’re planning to work on more, so stay tuned for that!
- Which artists have influenced you the most as a DJ and producer?
Probably Cloonee, Gordo and The Martinez Brothers. I get inspired to make new tracks everytime I listen to one of their sets, which are full of groovy tunes that inevitably get you move. That is the vibe and feeling that I also recreate in my sets, both live and on my “Power Rave” mix series on SoundCloud, where I showcase the most hyped unreleased music that Latin Tech House producers send me from all over the world.
- Thanks for taking the time to chat! Is there anything else you want to say to our readers?
Thank you so much for your support on my vision and music! 2025 will be a year full of new releases and international live shows that I’m currently planning, so see you somewhere around the world!
