We caught up with the Spaniard techno-revolutionary Ramiro Lopez to speak about his early days in music, daily routine and a final stretch of the year marked by his return to Suara with the throbbing and hypnotic four-tracker “Sweating” where connected for the very first time with the unique British artist Theo Nasa. When did you start producing music - and what or who were your early passions and influences? What seduced you most about techno, clubbing music and electronic sounds? I started around 16 years ago. By that time, my biggest hobby was already DJing but I felt that I needed to express myself deeper and started to produce. I haven’t stopped since then. My interest on electronic music began listening radio shows and Music shows on TV. But when I really felt in love with this was the first time I visited a club and watched a performance live. Ramiro is back now on Suara’s imprint with “Sweating”. With the record label as a base, how would you define your

I'm based in Tel-Aviv Israel, just as I used to be since I have been born, but lately I've been traveling around with my music and performances, so it is a nice combination. As for my week, most of the days I'm all around music, studio production, teaching, playing instruments and etc. , and at the same time I am A lawyer too, but I'm not really working as one thou, so I guess my time balance is around 80-20% to the music. Tell us more about your story. How did you discover electronic music and what led you down the path of wanting to be a producer and Dj? My first meeting with music was at the age of 9 years old, when I found my mom guitar, and just started

Fresh off the release of 'One Eye On The Past One On The Future' (Part 04) we catch up Dutch artist Alexis Tyrel as he charts the course for future offerings on his Lessismore imprint. Hi Alexis, how are you? Autumn is here – are you someone who likes this season? Does it affect the music you make? At the moment I am not doing so well, having some long time health issues. But the season is fine, not to cold, so ok for me. You have a new EP 'One Eye On The Past One On The Future' (Part 04) out now on Lessismore, tell us about how these three tracks came together for the release and walk us through the production on your favourite from the EP.  The first thing to say is that the “One Eye On The Past One On The Future” is a Serie concept with a theme, like the title suggest. So it should combine these factors. Having said this, the production process in my case, is somewhat looking back on things and giving them a new place, finishing them and giving them a new sound

Yotto likes walks in the park, nights by the fire, and deadpan stares across dinner tables. He also likes to produce electronic music.

Hi Skylar, thanks for joining us, how are you today and what are you up to? What are your plans for the week? Hi, thanks for having me in this interview. This weekend I had some family stuff and a little time planned in the studio. Tell us a bit about yourself, where are you from, how did you discover electronic music and what led you down the path of wanting to be a DJ and producer? I'm from the South of Holland but with roots from South America. But at the moment I spend more time in Belgium. I think I was brainwashed into being an dj. It began when I was very young and the music from the room beside me was pounding so loud, my Spice Girls could not handle it. In that moment, no girl power☹. The music that was pounding was very loud and aggressive, it was hardcore/gabber music. At that time in my life I hated electronic music because it was always playing in the house I lived. And my speakers in my round could not compete, although I tried. The  music from that room chan
