Interview with DJ Axl XS

By Luciano Ramos 

Q: How  & when did you start making music?

A: When i was fifteen years old i bought my first guitar, well, my mom give it to me as a present  because I pass math,  so she  bought for me the guitar & I began a small band with some friends.

That´s  when I started.

At first I didn´t like  electronic music at all, my band played heavy metal, hard rock, Pappo,  & suddenly I got bored of it . I started searching other stuff & my way of playing music had changed, in fact that’s why the band  tear apart

So, I bought a computer, began playing electronic music & here I am.

I´ve never study music in a formal way, everything I do is by ear, however i´ve always  study by myself, searching for tips, & with people who offers to teach me, not as in a career

Q: which instruments do you use in your sets?

A: Electric guitars, samplers, keyboards, plug-ins, guitars, voices from friends & mine.

I have an electronic drum, but i have it saved (laughs), i´m learning how to use it.

Q: Do you feel clasified in  a particular music style?

A: Tecno, House, Progresive. At first i tried to convince myself that i played minimal music, but exceeded me (laughs), it´s too hard. Anyway I keep searching for "something", my own style.

Q: Do you feel a connection with the  people who hear your music?

A: jejeje, do not record this! I'll tell you the truth, I communicate with people who know music,

 I have connection with those people. People who are interested in enjoying the music is what fills me. With people who only listens electronic music as an excuse to take drugs, not the same thing happens, I fear that they feel my music is good only because they are  in that state.

Q: What kind of environment do you feel is ideal for live music?

A: I love playing music  outdoors, a house backyard with a swimming pool! I also like  large A: I love playing music  outdoors, a house backyard with a swimming pool! I also like  large clubs, not "cave" like, I feel stifled  in confinement, especially if it's underground and dark. I do not like basements.  I like  "State Club", because even it´s dark, at least is wide.  I prefer not to play music in anything   "basement" like, however I would play music  in a shower if i have too, because playing music  is always my choice. I prefer to play music  outdoors during the day , or in large places

A: If you could choose any place on earth to give your show, what would it be?

A: The first place i have in mind it´s Ibiza, because is "the place".

Also I would  choose a place like South Africa, always thinking about the nature and the outdoors

Tibet!, where the monks are.I know it´s not possible but I would love it.

At  "Stone head" i´d love too, , because I think about going back to  the roots, & electronic music is partly the same thing, oddly as it seems. Electronic music is cyclical and repetitive, as the first music that appeared on the face of the earth. Percussion, Indian music, native, I relate a bit with that. Certain tribes based their music on cycles and repetitions, but now we use computers, is the same but with a different instrument. The essence is the same: hypnotise and get into ecstasy.

Q: Which feelings are going to have the ones  who see you playing music  for the first time?

A: WOW!!!! (laughs). Thats what they are going to say, wow!. Each will  have their own interpretation of my music, but I know they will enjoy it, if not, there they have  the door (laughs).
