Dust in the Wind
AN INTERVIEW WITH DUSTY KID
A name has been on everyone's lips lately. Well, maybe not on your mother's lips, but at least on every self-respecting tech DJ's lips. Granted, that's far from making up for a big part of the population, but you have to know one thing : Dusty Kid rocks. Hard.
This kid from Italy, also part of the Boxer-signed act Duoteque, will appear at Microtek V.6, an all-night event going on at Théâtre Sans Fil. This is a Noerg event, and their last time at the Sans Fil saw none else than Extrawelt coming down and rocking the decks. An event not to miss ? You bet your ass.
You have lots of good exports, in your country, like Remo, Più, Fabrizio Mammarella... How's the electronic music scene in Italy ?
It's not so important here; I think there's more and more people that listen to this kind of music in the other countries of Europe than in Italy.
People have started to notice you a lot since your releases on Systematic (Tsunamy & Milk) as well as the new-ravish track "The Cat". How can you sound so different on two successive releases ? Is Dusty Kid all over the place, musically speaking ?
Dusty Kid is not a purist of any kind of music - he likes to do everything he wants to do :)
What's the difference between producing Dusty Kid & Duoteque tracks, besides having to work alone ?
When I work alone, I know from the beginning that I can go everywhere, with no compromises, and just not worry about the style.
What lead you to produce tracks in the first place ?
The first word I said, when I was a baby, wasn't "mama" or "daddy"; it was "record" !
Do you have a specific artist you're dreaming of playing with ?
"I ♥ Richie"... so guess ;)
What's the most incredible thing that happened to you while touring ?
Signing t-shirts with my face printed on them !
Do you have a favorite part of the world you like to play in ?
I really don't know, I guess anywhere people like my music is the right place :)
What can montrealers expect from your live set ?
Lot of noise, some melodies, and psychedelia.
