Tell me about your musical roots

Since the beginning, my musical style has been deeply rooted in progressive and minimal cuts. Music knows no boundaries, and that's what I try to do when playing records: guide you smoothly across soundscapes, as I can't stick to just one genre.

What is your favourite place to dig and why?

More recently, I’ve started to invest more time on Bandcamp, while Discogs used to be my main digging outlet. When I use Bandcamp, I focus on new releases, using it as a search engine to browse independent artists and explore label back catalogs. I don’t look for something specific: the process unfolds naturally through the internet’s rabbit hole. Sometimes I get lucky, sometimes I don’t, but I stick to the process!

What do you listen to when you want to chill?

Spaced-out electro, downtempo, and nostalgic records are my jam! I’m also into progressive rock (like Frank Zappa) and, of course, some disco, R&B, and hip-hop.
