Other BPM @ Felipe Venancio

Felipe Venancio, DJ for 23 years, a name known to the Music House and a key part of important feasts opens our series "Other BPMs" you want to show what the professionals of the world renowned DJs think about the past, present and fututo the drum ' n'bass in Brazil and worldwide.

1.You remember the first time you heard drum'n'bass and how was this impression?

Gosh, I remember that was awesome. I was looking at the time that the houses that I had played that footprint "Tips of the sub club." I felt a lot of truth in the sound. From hip hop and house itself, had not seen anything so urban. I'm very curious musically and just wanted to know who were the producers and labels.

2.You has been playing for over 20 years, the exclusive house parties also experienced ups and downs. We can make some kind of comparison between the two scenes, house and drum'n'bass?

I think for the db things were never easy. Unlike the house he inherited the runway, the arrangements and disco DJs. It is difficult to make a comparison between db house and when we talk about ups and downs. House is very large, for example: a variation of any house (or deep, or electro or soulful) is down with the other houses that hold the shuttle. Perhaps a comparison can be made at the beginning, and "back in the days" when the will to show the sound to a majority who were not interested and did not know what was going on, is the same.

3.At as I know, you're the first guy to decide to play only one style: "I want to play one, House." How is this concept today?

Today I think the DJ has to go through "walls" and "barriers" and invade the space of a little more. I think the idea is to create a set time lively and interesting. Think, in the 90 songs of various styles came together in vinyl. You had the same batch of discs a Massive Attack, a Frankie Knuckles and a Jam & Spoon, for example. All very interesting and look like a future classic. The DJs of the time they built a set in an increasing bpm, playing just a little bit of everything and in the end accelerate and end the techno beats. Today reversed, right? The new DJ starts being a super expert on any one musical style and then time passes, you will discover other trends.

4.The drum & bass itself is a difficult style to be digested by the public "common" than the house that can be viewed in several different ways. What would you go to a night of drum'n'bass today?

No doubt the db is difficult, I think that's the fun, right? I see trouble almost everything in the db. Starting with the way of dancing. I remember the producer / remixer-era disco, Tom Moulton, who built his productions over the little steps he saw in the dance clubs. Imagine for a young man who has just discovered ballads and dance does not know any music to learn and progress of the broken db ... When I'm not playing and I can go to any night of the db that I seek is undoubtedly the house sound, weight and that mood is too ghetto.

5.Temos many drum'n'bass lovers who love house. Leave any tips for Savvy.

I am loving Denis Ferrer "Sinfonia Della Notte" and the last of Mike Dunn "Deep Down" in Afrojack remix of the hip.
