ON THE DECKS WITH RODRIGO MORANTO
So how and when did you start djiing and where did the aka Rio C come from;-) I started dj ing at age of sixteen got involved with a friend who was already playing with turntables which got me into it. My first releases were under the name Rio C, later on created an alter ego - Rodrigo Moranto but having had good feedback on my Rio C tracks I decided to keep both running.
What style of house would you say you play? I have a huge wide interest in variations of music in house music, I like to play deephouse techhouse, techno always with a certain groove in it.
Who are/were your influences? My influences are from the early days are Tyree Cooper and Dj Fast Eddie. I liked their sound because the quality of key ingredients in their tracks, and although I didn’t realise it at that time being 13 years old. Piano, vocal and acid house was also a big influence on me back then.
So you have been in the house music industry for quite a while. How has this evolved when looking at it from a dj/producer perspective? It envloved maybe like many producers, I was always messing around djing, making music when it stepped up a gear when I first did a live act at friends party with an low cost sampler and a drummachine. I knew then I wanted to make tracks because the feeling of people dancing on your music was great to see .
You have produced a lot of tracks to include one of my favs, 9 Bazz which was used as the cover track for trade 21st birthday. So which do you prefer being on the decks or being in the studio? Haha, that 's a hard question, I like both actually I get different kind of feelings in the studio as when you're playing in the studio your more focused when I am playing I am in a different more of a party mood.
6 More recently with Nick Tcherniak, ”In my zone”, how did you become involved in that? That was because Nick had a mix album released with my track 9 Bazz and send me a simple message that he like the track very much he always played it so from there we moved on and start making tracks.
Where do you play in the Netherlands? I guest at several clubs festivals name and REAL house partys, if you know what I mean!
So who if anyone right now would you love to dj with back to back with your sound? I think that will be Nick Tcherniak because we produce together and that’s going great but we never played together so I think that will be a great thing to do sometime.
Your ultimate venue...where would you like to play, if you already haven't done it? There is a thing I like to do playing on Ibiza in Space, that will be ultimate :)
So more to come from you in 2013? Yes I very busy now with Nick Tcherniak we have already finished a track and I have 1 track now on the podcast that I finished recently it’s the last song of the podcast and I have some projest to finish so whilst I still love music- I keep going ;-)
