Dance Nation

Well finally i started working on this. Took me some years thinking about it, to grow a bit and get in mind in what kind of shit i was throwing myself into, but now i feel it's the right time. Smile

Copy/pasta :

so, DANCE NATION, would be a documentary about Dance Music in general. The REAL dance, the one from 96 to 2005.
From France to Uk, from Germany to italy stopping by Spain and Denmark.
Dance has been one of the most popular genre ever, the melodies are still played and remixed on radio like crazy.

With this documentary, i'm gonna try to bring back these sounds, with interview from the artists, the radios, the major artists, the process of production and so on...!

Follow me in this great journey, everykind of help is welcome !

So, yeah this is the first sketch of this project.

Since here we are hardcore italo fans, i'd love to know where the biggest producers lives. [DJ Lhasa, Molinaro, Gigi etc...]
That would help me a lot !

thanks thanks thanks !

Well you can contact their labels or managers and try to get interviews.
But it does sound like a very expensive project Wink

Don't think it could be a /that/expensive project. the expensive part would be the travelling...but since i'm not gonna do the documentary in one single travel, that should be okay!

Okay, well for those interested and who didn't know, i'm going to italy tomorrow.

I'll sleep at Kronos' appartment, he offered me to stay at his place for a few days, in Milan. Will meet Luca Zeta for an interview on Thursday. I Contacted Lhasa who's from Milan too but sadly he's on vacation an pretty far away from his place.

Then i'm moving to Turin where i should meet Marco Marzi and Marco Skarica, then i will show up at the Blisscorporation and hopefully meet one member of the E65 crew, or i'll kept myself at visitng the Studios, just hoping i'll meet Massimo Gabutti.

So yeah, first step is starting tomorrow Laughing out loud

Ooooooooookay.

So here it is.

I've spent 4days at Kronos' place, who a pretty fun guy, a bit CRAZY ! We visited Torino, we talked about dance and ate pizzas ! He made me listen to the unreleased english version of Magica Europa ! sounds pretty crappy ! Tongue
He told me about projects he had, so he'll keep working on some nice stuff.

Then Torino, the best part !
On tuesday i've met MARCO MARZI and MARCO SKARICA !! They are CRAZY !! They are really fun, we managed to talk to each others even if they were'nt good at English while i was not good at all with Italian hahaha. They had tons of gift for me ! We had lunch, we made the interview and they went away in vacation !
They are really warm people and they really have dance in their blood.

I told them i wanted to go to the Blissco on the next day, and Skarica told me he could call Luca Ventafridda from DJs From Mars (who also made like tons of remix for E65, Blissco, he even did the remix of Magica Europa), so we can meet each others.

He called and sent me the phone number of Luca on my cell so i can call him. I did it like 3sec later.
Luca was really nice to me, he was okay to meet each others at the Djs from Mars studio.

When i arrived, i wasn't sure it will be the blissco studios, but when i saw the name on the door i was like "HOLY SHHHHHT". So well he opened me the door, i visited the studio, with all these platinum disc of E65 on the wall. It was crazy to see this for real. Then i spent some hours with them, seeing them at work (Luca Ventafridda and Max Aqualuce).

They were the only one in the studio cause at this period it's the italian holidays, so the blissco was really empty. We did an interview, smoked some cigarettes and made the selection for their show for a New York radio. They're also really nice people, funny and all Smile They gave me their discography and told me i could come back whenever i'm around Smile

Okay so all that shit was REALLY NICE, and i'll go back to Torino REALLY soon Smile
