NIC SARNO (Italy)
Track – “Mana Wasa”

- My name is Nic Sarno and I’m from Italy. I’ve started as a dj when i was 13 playin’ in my home with friends after school, with two crashed turntables, smoking weed and listening to nonsense italodisco, hip hop, Sex Pistols and Michael Jackson stuff. Then came the first evenings in clubs, and slowly over time, i’ve sharpened my musical selection. When i was 16/17 years old I’ve started to play in small club and illegal raves and then this strange game turns into a real job. At that time my bag was full of records from Trax, Djaxx Up Beats, Hi Bias, Strictly Rhythm, Power Trax…i was totally into acid house. And then I got my first R&S rec and Warp stuff, like Joey Beltram, AphexTwin or LFO……The productions comes a few years after….but in the same way….playing with samples and synths…without any particular idea about what to produce.
- (working on this project) was a great pleasure. I’ve always been involved in Buraka’s productions. They really inspired me and I am very attracted by the idea to be confronted with different kind of styles. I have always defined me as a DANCE dj – not a techno, or house, or whatever dj. I think this is the real essence of being a dj – MIXING DIFFERENT THINGS – and trying to give it a sense. I’ts just a matter of time and space.
- 5 songs I am into: GONJASUFI – Kowboyz And Indians; STARKEY – Alienstyles
CARIBOU – Sun; MARCUS PRICE & CARLI – Var e Naaaken ( Bok Bok rmx); IL TEATRO DEGLI ORRORI – E’ Colpa Mia
