Releasing records over famous dance compilations such as MP3Compilation, PlayDJ and DJ Voice, and singles through Nocolors [l]., KroneRecords, Crisler and Inner Records. under different pseudonyms (E-ternal, Digital Talent, CP & Co, FMPeople, Bandhits, ecc) he was chosen by Global Underground [a] [l] for the “Ibiza Afterhours vol.2” compilation and by Paul Van Dyk to open his Vonyc Sessions at the WMC in Miami in 2008. Rudy Nicoletti is now out with more records, and we’re having some talks with him
How did you get started making music?
I’ve been a huge fan of electronic music since I was 11 years old, when I discovered Pet Shop Boys [a], Depeche Mode, Erasure [a], Eight Wonder, KLF, house and Italo. I began making my own experiments cutting & pasting analog tapes, so yes, my first attempt was to try my hand at remixing. Later, I started buying sequencer machines, keyboards and samplers and started composing electronic music alone at home.
How would you describe your sound?
I’m making mainly progressive and electro house music at the moment (se “To Da House” for Inner Records) but my music fits more genres, really. I’ ve written tracks that people can dance to, but, also, I’ve written many yet unreleased songs to be listened to only. I try to do what I like best, deep, mysterious and emotive. As anything in life, sometimes I can, other times I can’t! Minimal is also something I’m trying my skills right now, as you can see with “Du Auch” and “Set It Free” in collaboration with Earthquake
What’s your studio like?
Part analog, part software based. I started out with machines ages ago, no computer existed then. I moved to software 10 years later, sure that everything could be pc-contained and really self confidenti in the digital revolution. The truth is that I had to step back, to my regret: after all these years of digital sound, I feel that analogue sound can’t be replaced yet, but for a few exceptions (mostly Native Instruments). So, I prefer an analog generated sound and a sofware based sequencer.
Who helped you get established?
Great and successful italian dance producer Graziano Pegoraro followed me from day one on, into the professional music field. I could not do it without him
When did you feel that you had your own sound?
I think I’m still developing my own sound, proof of it is that I release records on more genres from progressive to electro, to minimal and pop dance.It really depends on new techniques, moods and ideas I’m in at the moment I work, or on the things around that inspire me.
When you make a track, what’s the first thing you typically do? How long does a track take you to make?
I always begin with the bass drums and basslines. Sometimes I have a hook in my head and start playing the piano to fix it as soon as I can. Then try to pick the best ideas and takes and start to work seriously on them. Some tracks need producing for a month, and some of them are a bit quicker, while others need more thinking. I think one-to-three weeks are the usual time for making a song from its drafts to the final mix.
Where do you record?
In my home studio. Almost everything I do is there. I lived in Milan before (i.e where I was born and still move to when needed), I’ve moved in Rome now and have a portable studio for when moving to my home in Lecce (South Italy).
Do you have a favorite piece of gear or software?
My favorite one was my old Yamaha QY10, but is more of a relic now. I really enjoy Native In struments Machine, an joiful piece of gear with really fat and beautiful sounds. On the software side, of course I love Ableton Live, Cubase and Logic. Ableton was a real revolution in the composing process for electronic musicians.
Which record do you like best right now?
Eric Pryds’ “Circles”, 2Night’s and Alesso’s “Pressure”
When you’re not listening to electronic music, what do you listen to?
I’m fan of old good synth pop: from the Pet Shop Boys [a] to Kylie Minogue and Madonna to 80s stars, but even Britney Spears [a] and Lady Gaga. Female energy and sexy voice is what I feel in love most. Adele’s “Set fire to the rain” is a masterpiece to my ears. Rihanna [a], Pitbull [a], Calvin Harris [a] re among faves too. Swedish Mafia family are the best anyway…u see..we’re back to dance n electronic again!
What do you when you’re not making music?
I do what everybody does, i.e. clubbing, listening to music, friends, restaurants and movies.
What about your upcoming releases…
I have just released three tracks, “To Da House”,”Du Auch” and “Bridge Melody” for Inner Records on Trismix Compilations and in digital download. I’ve made remixes for artists I like and I am about to prepare a radio show for the french “I.Active Dance” radio, which broadcasts high quality music all over the net. I’m also working on new stuff, so, stay tuned for more!
