Biography of Claudio Ponticelli
Location: Naples, Italy
How did your passion for music?
C: This great passion was born since tiny as having a brother and a sister bigger than me, already the early years of life at home is listening to music repetition. They were teenagers and the stereo playing forever. It is little that I developed a love for the pace and that is music.
The passion for music instead 'dance' instead born around 12-13 years. It is for them that the first time I saw the figure of dj behind two records. That, even if unconsciously because still ignorant on the subject, I was bewitched by that role: a single person who moves a dancefloor! Then about 9 years ago for Christmas, I did receive a pair of technics and that started it all. I recall very well that day, I went with my brother to avellino to buy records from a lover of classical music, had not a scratch!
What type of music you prefer playing?
C: Over the years my style has changed and matured, hand when it passed the time I was aware of new sounds and new artists. The meeting with the Techno music was decisive. More generally the more I listened I took, I found my reality! Even in the techno genre every passing day I discover new nuances and colors (you should know that I see the music color. Perhaps organize another interview just for this!), And when I sound like within range this kind depending on the situations that I have faced. A DJ is also why a person who knows how to interpret the time and choose the most appropriate music, of course ever stop to what he likes and prefers. In this I was very lucky since the birth of Minimalismi and meeting with Politelli 3 years ago (at dress2impress) I always had the freedom to play what I want.
