Editor's note Hello, Bonjour, Ola, Ciao! I hope you're well wherever you are, welcome to our crazy creative world.

November is so on fleek! Woahh let's pause for a moment, "on fleek" what is that? I mean "reem" I could handle, "selfies" is pushing it, but surely a simple cool or nice is better than on fleeek. So, the northern hemisphere is preparing to wrap up in cosy blankets with a hot cup of cocoa whilst the southern enters a scorching summer. This means warmer tones overall in the music scene and a deeper party atmosphere. We welcome new writers Steve and Emran to the team as well as a few reps getting out to hottest events for us. We also celebrate Sarah's first year at Audiation Magazine!

Inside AM019: Sarah's Thoughts looks back at her incredible year of meeting the stars and climbing in her career. Emran discusses the feelings we gain from sounds. We chat to Natalie INDYA West and Sunny Andrea on their upcoming single which has a touch of bollywood influence. The top 10 UK charts gets scrutinised. Rokuro checks out the history and developments of the Tropical House genre. Alalila says Steve with his look at the Mauritian industry and how it's now blooming. Global DJ and fashionista Mary Jane discusses the industry in Ukraine. We cover the closing party of the notorious LET club hosted by Secret Models Ltd with international DJ Enrico Sangiuliano.

Flashback one year ago. I was still a teenager and interning at two music venues in Chicago. I remember the day @AudiationMag followed me on Twitter, I thought it was so cool. I thought the layout was very complex, the writers were cultured and educated, and that it was something fresh to the scene that I never thought about—an online music magazine. However, I thought it was just going to be another account that found me because I am a college student interesting in working in the music business. I was so wrong.

About a day after they followed me, Mizz-Ruby, owner and co-founder of Audiation, messaged me inquiring about my passion for the industry.

More messages were sent and she was inviting me onto the team. ME. ONTO THIS TEAM. Let alone me, being the only one representing the USA. One thing led to another and bam, here we are, one year later. MY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY ON THE AUDIATION TEAM! This article goes as an appreciation note toward Audiation, Mizz-Ruby, the team and everyone that subscribes/reads! You keep us going, and want to deliver nothing but the best! So thank you, Audiation Magazine has changed my life.

Thinking about the topic of a year ago, a lot has changed since then.

First, I’m typing this from my new Apple computer. That’s a step forward!

I used to be so scared of these machines, but now I see why everyone considers them to be innovative and easier to use. Aside from computers, I’ve been able to connect with many artists/managers/security/galore in the industry, and it only keeps my dreams that much more alive. I’ve been to more concerts than I can count, been able to interview bands/ artists I didn’t even think were possible to connect with, and I’ve gotten to see Europe! (Well, that last part was for my studies, but it still happened this past year). Above all, I don’t think I’ve ever appreciated the feeling of coming home and relaxing in bed, as boring as it sounds, it is nice to wind down from how crazy life can get!

I have been getting questions lately about this new opportunity, so I thought I would address it here. About two months ago, I was hired through CBS Radio as a Promotions Coordinator for Top 40 station in Chicago This has been a dream come true. I used to listen to B96 growing up my whole life, so working in that office and with the on-air personalities have been mind-blowing. Especially coming from my year with WLUW, I’ve found a new appreciation for the art of broadcast media, and how much it can connect listeners with music. Here’s some things about B96 I’ve noticed thus far: • I’ve met Nick Jonas, Becky G and the Silversun Pickups.

• One of the afternoon hosts, Justin Roman, also is in a group with DJ Flipside who mixes at the 5:00PM hour (17:00 for all my non-American time users) called the Jumpsmokers. Their remix of Demi Lovato’s “Cool for the Summer” actually is track 14 on her new album! Congrats to them!

• A previous coordinator, whose position I guess I took, is DJMissMeg. You HAVE to check out her Street Mixes on Soundcloud. Search her user ‘missdjmeg,’ we play her music at every event!

Many more, but those are my top three. I just want to tell anyone out there, do not give up on what you truly are passionate about. The clich “don’t give up on your dreams” is too bland for me, if that were true I would be starring on Disney Channel right now.

Follow what ignites that spark inside you, what makes you excited when you see it on paper, what you see other people doing and you do wish that you could have their job. Do what makes you happy, and don’t stop chasing that fire. Who knows what you could be talking about in a year…

Let me know your passions! Tweet at us @AudiationMag, or at my personal @babygotbecker. Time goes on, don’t let it slip. Live nice, think big, have fun.

London's Top Commercial Radio Station The RAJAR figures are in! They define the radio world with detailed quarterly statistics on each station's performance as well as listener behaviour. With the rise of digital streaming and other sources to listen to music, there is always a worry for radio keeping up with demands. However with the introduction of DAB and further connections to the digital world, radio is still of importance with this quarter 89% of the UK tuning in. Comparing this across a 5 year period, there has been a gradual decrease, and the majority tuning into digital.

I find I use my radio apps & tune in player a lot more these days. The functions to listen back is very important also. What does this mean for the pirate stations? A lot have grabbed this chance to gain more listeners with having an online website and ability to listen digitally. Although there are millions of web radio's, the overall aim is still grounded to being the hottest station in their locations.

Now how about London's commercials? The top two stations are very close, but the winner is.. KISS FM UK! Yes, our good friends at the Bauer-owned station are leading the way with 2,099M listeners. Trailing behind at 2nd place is Capital with 2,086M listeners.

Magic came 3rd with a marginally lower 1,711M listeners. In fact, 9 of the top 10 digital commercial stations are of Bauer's. Their management team state that they have been driving a strong digital push, and this is certainly paying off. I even spot it everyday from KISS FM UK's socials, they interact with their audience in a fun way, and most importantly intergrate really well with current topics and events.

Congratulations KISS!

Music Brings Hope To Refugees Al-Kamandjati music schools deserve a moment of praise in giving youngsters in Lebanon an artistic form of enjoyment. The founder himself had his life transformed through an opportunity to study music.

He takes this as his duty to assist others in gaining the same opportunity.

There is no question about the pain and suffering in these areas. The injection of music aims to bring a little beauty, hope and peace to young minds in a scary world.

DJ S.K.T now signed to Defected Records!

Will Smith Returns To Music After A Decade A favourite personality to many, not only does he excude an enormous sense of joy in all he does, Will is without a doubt very humble man.

We first met him as the fresh prince, he released tracks including "Boom! Shake the Room" and "Summertime", and of course more notable roles such as in Men In Black.

"Fiesta" by Columbian dance act Bomba Estéreo gets a remix with featuring rap vocals from Will. The lyrics include English and Spanish language. Will first heard the track in Columbia and loved it's vibrancy so much that he wanted to guest on it. One member of Bomba Estéreo, Simón Mejia, was surprised to learn Will's thoughts stating, "it's not a traditional featuring -- it's just magic".

Music For Cats Is there anything that cats don't have? The feline addiction has stepped up to a new level with audio sounds designed specifically for cats.

A member of the National Symphony Orchestra has teamed up with animal scientists to create a new series of sounds including squeaks and whirs which tunes into cats' brains and ear waves. A cat develops different hearing senses to us, and owners who simply turn on the radio aren't doing much for them.

Some of the tracks in the series include bird chirps, and suckling sounds in order to be relaxing. www.musicforcats.com

Can We Reunite Artful & Craig David?

“7 Days”, “Fill Me In” and the notorious boink of “Rewind”! Craig David peaked in the early noughties with his smooth charm on a sexy UK Garage style.

The artist has been flung back into the media attention with the recent BBC 1xtra session with Mistajam’s #SixtyMinutes. The show was epic, and I do not use that word often! The Kurupt FM lads featured as well as Shola Ama, MC Vapour, Craig David and more. And wow Craig absolutely smashed it. He revealed two new tracks “Better Off Alone” and “Off My Mind”, as well as a new twist on “Fill Me In” dropping it into Diplo & Skrillex’s “Where Are You Now”.

Going back to “Rewind”, which was and still is one of the most well-known UKG tracks ever. Still appealing to the crowd, just a few days ago when Artful played it out, the audience eagerly sung with the Bo’ Selecta! This phrase even inspired the Channel 4 series including a Craig David sketch.

In a previous chat with Artful, he mentioned, “Craig and I had no idea it was gonna have the impact it did when we were working on it. It was important to us to enjoy the process and make a track that had loads of hooks in it so we literally threw everything at it and went for it in a big way.”

With Artful working to an impeccable manner still after all these years, and a refreshed Craig David in the spotlight, we’d like to propose the two a challenge. Just 1 day in the studio, forget the world and any logic – simply have fun and vibe. We will be waiting eagerly to hear the results!

NEW MUSIC Leanne Louise & Rdubz - You're My Danger The sweet voice against a light and melodic beat, with the break offering a little edge with a lyrical interlude.

MC Sel Jennifer O'Kane - Sweetheart (K Warren Remix) You know when you hear a K Warren edit, you’re going to get something good. This is no different, a little bumpiness and fresh bass accompanying the vocal blend of male edge and female sexiness.

Indo R U Sleeping (Charles Jay Remix) A fresh take on the classic with edgy cuts, a lively beat and a deep bass tone.

Charles Jay says: From the classic garage track to a modern day club smasher with deep dirty bass sounds and a garage influenced beat this is sure to get you in the mood for partying :) 16

Deep motivated waves What are the real feeling vibes in music? Can anybody describe emotions & feelings after listening some trippy deep chill vibes? Of course it is possible to ask this question to an ordinary music listener.

Sounds of nature motivating you to some reaction & feelings. They could be positive & negative. Rude & loud sounds leading to negative mood, but some people prefer metal & rock. What is about chilled vibes? Can we approve that everyone like chilled tunes? Of course it is impossible.

Interesting fact in the music industry: lounge, down tempo & chilled compilations sell out pretty good. What is the reason? Deep, calm, motivated tunes dissolve thoughts of human being & help to concentrate on basic work. Maybe that could be one of the main reasons.

Visitacion music is Dallas based music producer & label owner (Embarcadero records, Muni records). Visitacion music releases music from the owner himself by different aliases. Here is the list of marketing aliases of Donald Wilborn releases: Donald Wilborn, Moroccan Lover, Inner Sanctum, Emi Murai, Castro Street Project, Jean Claude, West Portal, 808 Lounge, Presidio Kings, Seal Rocks, False Angel, Outer Mission. Visitacion Music is dedicated to deep, melodic and emotive sounds. Ordinary listener of EDM popular stuff will not understand the emotive crossover of Visitacion releases. Some music artists suggest that Visitacion music stuff is plain & monotone. It could be plain & monotone for listeners of pop music. These listeners should try to listen to this kind of music in headphones. I think they could change their opinion if they will try to feel the Visitacion vibes. Listening does not mean feeling. Feeling the mood of music composition & composer is not available to all listeners.

Music composition basically dedicating to a certain period of life & listeners should feel this mood. Music is universal language contacting people all around the world from all continents.

It is very difficult to say at this point.

I am hoping to see Trance sort out some of its problems and become dominant again (I do see this slowly happening as of now). Deep House seems to be what is popular as of now (which I have no problem).

Overall, I wouldn’t mind seeing Electronic music in general go underground again. I feel that having it in the mainstream too long has somewhat tainted it.

How you see yourself in music business in the future?

I would like to one day start my own record label. The music business is

Natalie INDYA West & Sunny Andrea We introduce Natalie INDYA West and Sunny Andrea who have teamed up with The Next Room productions to create “Goddess”. This is the debut single for actress and model, Sunny Andrea, who has always had the desire to sing. The lyrics are written by Natalia INDYA West, who has developed in the industry with her Indie band, INDYA. The Next Room production team have worked some of the best including Kimberly Wyatt, Snoop Dogg, Alesha Dixon, Skepta and more.

in love with the track – it’s sexy, fun, fresh & something hopefully people will find quite catchy and enjoy listening to!

It’s not in any way a ‘diva’ type track, so I am safe! But I can see it working well and fitting into the mainstream markets as well as British Asian markets.

Natalia: The Next Room produced the music for the record and I have written the lyrics. I named the record “Goddess” as Sunny Andrea is from an Indian family and she reminded me of an Indian princess, as she’s so beautiful. So I wanted to make the song magical, soft and Bollywood designed especially for her. I got together with The Next Room to discuss and we all went away and did our homework... and eventually came up with this!

The upcoming single “Goddess” is a beautiful blend between Indian style and a deeper modern twist. Sweet, How did you all meet each other and sultry tones against the flavourful get to working together? rhythmic beat with dips into a darker, Sunny: Natalie and I have the same and quite risqué nature. manager/agent and so we were introduced that way.

into performing and music?

I studied music at the Brit school, and then went onto Colin’s Performing Arts in Essex...hence the eEsex accent!! I have always been musical since the age of 4!!

I have always dreamed of being a singer/ songwriter. My mum loves music and she brought us up on all the old bands such as Rainbow and Deep Purple & Dire Straits. She had great taste. I think this inspired me to be a rocker n roller! lol Sunny, you grew up with an outgoing personality wanting to perform whenever you had the opportunity.

What is it about being in the spotlight and showcasing your talent that you love?

I think you either want this and you have it in you, or you don’t. I used to be quite shy when I was a lot younger but then as I grew up, I opened up and really wanted to do something within the entertainment industry. For me, even though I had studied and had training, acting is a very natural thing as is modelling and being in front of the camera whenever I have the chance. I just enjoy it, have fun with it and really love working with creative teams of people and producing a fab end result!

Singing is something I want to work on but this track suits me perfectly! I am always myself and I think it’s important to never forget who you are and where you have come from and the people who have always been there for you. I enjoy performances and playing different characters and making people smile. It also stretches my skillset and I am forever learning. Showcasing talent is always a great feeling.

Sunny, this is your debut single! How do you feel about the experience of singing and hearing your voice on a great track?

I am definitely nervous but at the same time so excited! I know I have an amazing team of support and people to coach and help me along the way if I need it. But no, definitely excited about this and it’s something I wouldn’t have agreed to if I knew I couldn’t do it. Hearing my voice on the finished track will be a little surreal but I will definitely be proud of it, I have to be and want to be, so I just hope and pray that everyone else likes it as much as we do.

Natalie, you wrote the lyrics for "Goddess", how do you find inspiration when writing?

Yes I wrote the lyrics for “Goddess”. I actually have to be on my own in my log cabin and light all my candles, coffee, redbull and my thesaurus. I use brainstorms and link words etc.. I have to have the right ambience in the room to be able to focus.

Sunny, you have an Indian family background and have brought this influence into your sound. Which Natalie, you and your mother are both vocalists do you admire the most? creative individuals, how did you get 22

www.AudiationMagazine.com

I have to say that I love many genres of music and artistes out there. For me personally though, my favourite genres are Pop, R&B, I love my musicals and I enjoy the 80s! Vocally, I am totally in love with the likes of artistes such as the greats Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson…And others more recent like Westlife, Christina Aguilera, Usher, The Saturdays, Ed Sheeran and others. The industry has many great artistes, with all varied vocal ranges, but it’s nice to see everyone working hard and going places! I also give huge credit to the likes of Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh for the talent they spot and sign up. Those men know their stuff!

Congratulations Natalie, with your INDYA band having just been signed to MGR Music! What can we expect from you in the near future?

Thank you! I’ve just been booked to do a huge show in Poland, I am actually opening the show for Slash at Lodz arena with my band INDYA. Sunny, you had a love of animals and previously wanted to be a vet! If you could be any animal, what would it be and why?

Yes, I do love animals, mainly dogs! My husband Danny and I have a beautiful puggle- she is called Peggy! She is just the best, such a cheeky but loving little girl! I would love to be a black panther or Jaguar or something, as they look amazing, they have a gorgeous warm coat as I am ALWAYS cold and they’re fast – I love exploring so I could be like Queen of the land and see the places I want to see! They’re stunning animals!

Natalie, you've recently joined Southstar radio with your own show playing Indie & Rock. How do you feel about experiencing radio and live shows?

I feel really pleased and proud to be a DJ on Southstar. I’ve been given a fantastic opportunity to shine and I’m loving it!! I love the music and talking to people on the show, I love interacting with listeners. I hope to get better as I get more experienced and hopefully still be around for when Southstar become an FM station You've both appeared on TV and have a growing media & music presence, what is the best advice you could give to music and media enthusiasts wanting to be successful in these career fields?

Sunny: Never ever give up! It’s such a tough industry as everyone knows, and I know that I am forever working hard to get places and there are still so many things I would love to do acting wise, modelling and singing…

But determination is key, network, try and get as much experience, even if it’s unpaid at the start. Be nice to people and just keep going!

23

Natalie: Never give up!! If you want something bad then you will not stop until you have it. Sheer determination and drive is what takes you there. You get haters, you have to ignore them and push on. You also have to invest to get anywhere. I’ve spent thousands on my music making records. It doesn’t just happen overnight.

band and succeed with the music and as a DJ. I also want to work with other artists on records. I would love to write for Madonna!! __________________________________

I hang out with friends a lot too.

But to be honest I’m always working!! -- Ruby What have you both got planned for the future?

Sunny: I have secured a part in a 4 part TV series called The Love of Ella. It’s directed by the fabulous Simon Golding and I play the part of Shelly Stevens. It’s a great comedy storyline, with a fab cast attached to it! Again, I am very excited about this as I LOVE acting and I cannot wait to get into rehearsals and start filming towards the new year. I am a HUGE soap fan, so for me, something like Eastenders, Corrie or Holby City is right up my street – the cast are fab and I am seeing more and more Asians on TV now, so I can only hope and pray they see my work and call me. Haha! I would love to work on any projects really that people think I am suited for- so whether this may be in Film, TV or Modelling or even more Music?! I am ready for it!

Natalie: I hope to get bigger with the 24

Having been released a few years ago with various remixes, this new Disco House 2015 edit, as featured in Tiesto's Club Life 443 podcast, is by far the best version. It has a fresh sound and attitude, yet still keeping the flavourful beats.

Who can say no to a brand new Disco House Mix of one of Manufactured Superstar’s biggest chart hits together with Scarlett Quinn? We certainly love this 2015 update of Take Me Over and we're sure you will too! So jump on that dancefloor and get moving! Out now on Magik Muzik.

SCRUTINISING THE 1. Adele - Hello Well this chart-topper isn't much of a suprise as Adele's new release was highly anticipated and the press have been going crazy over the single. Her voice is great and she is a fav for Britain, one of the funniest thoughts though is that her music will make you wish you'd spoken to that randomer on the train you briefly made eye contact with last month!

2. Justin Bieber - Sorry Is it annoying that some of his songs are actually rather catchy now. This track though is just typical and so easy to come up with, the male wanting attitude, the predictable pop sounds and rhythmic beat.

3. Drake - Hotline Bling Breaking this one down it's just a simple tune and well, is actually quite dull - let's face it, if this wasn't by Drake, it would not be on the charts (although that could be said about a lot of the chart tunes). The only part I like is the climbing of his vocals in some parts.

4. Sam Smith - Writing's On The Wall This is a mixed bag, the ranges and tones differ throughout, which is why it makes a great track with a lot of interest.

5. The Weeknd - The Hills This one is really nice with a dark atmospheric tone and hazy driving vocals - especially love the Eminem version.

26

www.AudiationMagazine.com

THE CHARTS 6. KDA ft Tinie Tempah & Katy B - Turn The Music Louder (Rumble) As featured in the previous magazine edition, this is one of our favs as is a lot of Katy B's catalogue. Fresh sounds and contrasts along a fun track.

7. Justin Bieber - What Do You Mean Another one for the Biebster, this I've heard so much and is catchy enough that I actually like it a little..

8. Naughty Boy ft Beyonce & A Benjamin Runnin' (Lose It All) Beyonce fans unite, this shows that she can really flow with the times, although her best work is the older material. The track is actually another dull one breaking it down, but it's appealing to general listeners and is alright.

9. One Direction - Perfect Not feeling this, it's just an any-old modern boyband track really - pretty forgettable.

10. Jamie Lawson - Wasn't Expecting That It's quite nice to have something that isn't electronic in the charts. Simple guitar and piano chords accompanying a lovely male voice.

What track's are you enjoying at the moment?

Keys N Krates - Save Me feat. Katy B (Wuki Remix) As featured on the UKF podcast #71 by Stanton Warriors. This edit by Wuki is pretty gnarly when the drop kicks in, but I love the lead ups with the vocals and bass progression.

Keys N Krates acclaimed single "Save Me" receives three remixes of epic proportions from Wuki, Naderi, and STFU. Utilizing the sultry vocals of UK's Katy B, each remixer crafts their own unique twist on the original in a futuristic fury of genre-bending sounds. In a frenetic, dirty rework primed for the mainstage, Wuki brilliantly intersperses Katy's dreamy voice with boisterous vocal chants before unleashing a trap-infused drop. Naderi takes a more cinematic future bass route, implementing rolling hi hats and dramatically pitched vocal tones.

Finally, STFU bulldozes the genre boundary with a trippy rendition filled with funky basslines and a half-time drop that will have your jaw down to your knees. Out now on Dim Mak Records.

The Rise Of Tropical House Ella With Winter fast approching us in the UK, I thought I'd take us back to the sunshine of Summer 2015. Tropical House went mainstream with two of the biggest Pop hits: Lost Frequencies 'Are You with me' getting to no 1 in the UK, Germany and Spain. And 20 year-old Felix Jaehn with his saxophone infused remix of OMI's 'Cheerleader' Which became a top ten in Over 20 different countries.

Henderson with their collaboration 'Here For You'.

Everyone by now has heard of Tropical House even if they didn’t know what it was called to begin with. This 23 year-old classically trained musician has clocked up well over 200 million plays on Soundcloud alone and has signed a deal with Ultra and Sony International, The rise of this genre is best described as a mix of Deep House, House and Chillout to some people, it's fluffy and has little edge. But to others (including myself) it's a breath of fresh air to clubbers and ravers that are getting tired of the harder EDM genres and need something a little more soothing in their life and are looking for a more relaxing laidback slower sound to chill out to.

Most People probably think of Spring 2014 when Robin Shultz remixed 'Waves' by Mr Probz. This became probably the biggest worldwide hit in that year and as the first time they heard Tropical Also With The likes of Kygo House. breaking into the UK and European Pop charts with hits But the sound was pioneered by including 'Firestone' ft Conrad, Australian Producer & DJ Thomas 'Stole The Show', and more Jack who actually came up with recently teaming up with one of the name as a joke, It had been the UK’s biggest female singers, bubbling under the surface for 29

Bakermat, Klangkarussell and Kingande. So with the likes of Calvin Harris and Skrillex starting to bring out tracks and remixes with a Tropical vibe, I can only see this sound getter bigger and bigger in the very near future.

Especially with Justin Bieber's Tropical Infused 'what Do You Mean' having being produced by Skrillex, it's only going to get With Thomas Jack recently bigger.. Did I just mention Justin announcing the first all Tropical Bieber?

MAURITIUS

Alalila. Mauritian expression meaning "Here it is". It is the start of a new adventure and I would love to share some of our local musical goodies. Even though we have our traditional Sega (part of Unesco Mankind Heritage since 2014) which has evolved in various forms, we have Mauritian artists performing other genres.

It is blooming on that side and the creations are of appreciable standards. The only question mark is the future of the music industry here. We are somehow lagging behind, but things are starting to shape up and we hope that the way it is being steered can prove right for all stakeholders of the industry. One proof of Mauritian talent is Christophe Rey. Have a peek at his SoundCloud with song "Better Make A Better Plan". It wraps up the actual situation of the industry and sure, we need a better plan for the Mauritian music as the formal way does not work. If not by concerned authorities, we can drive the change by supporting the artists at our ends.

International Dance music DJ and fashion icon, Mary Jane is certainly one to watch in the creative industry.

Originating from Ukraine, she is now exploring the world with her Global Sensation brand. One location that she is particularly excited to be performing soon is the beautiful island of Mauritius.

The event is hosted by Purple Agency and Ciroc vodka, it is set to be a clubbing sensation with local DJs, a live band and a great atmosphere. With her career at a high peak, we took the opportunity to chat with Mary Jane..

What is the music industry like in Ukraine and what does it offer to music lovers?

There are very hard times for the music industry in Ukraine. There are a lot of good artists, but they are not in demand here. There are a lot of people who know the music industry and have good tastes for it also, and people who attend many festivals abroad! Due to the economic and political situation and war In Ukraine, there is no possibility for development in this direction. Only Pop music lives.

How did you get into music and DJ'ing? You will be DJ'ing in Mauritius on 7th November, what are you expecting The beginning of my love for music was from the island crowd? born at 8 years old, I went to a music school in the class of piano! At the age I will come to Mauritius for the first time! of 13 years old, when my brother was I've heard a lot about the local culture studying different music programs - I and friendship. I hope to find a lot of fans of my music and just to make people was interested too ...

One day I was offered to try myself in happy... But the most important things: DJing and I decided to do it, at the same I wish they sing with me, dance with me time I met my manager and my journey and fall in my sound with a happy mood every minute of my performance. began.

The event was a huge success, exceeding LET's capacity and closing at 10am! We sent along our reps for the night who had a "blast"!

Many thanks go to Shahir and Awad.

Never thought Mauritian people have enjoyed Techno that much.

So many people and amazing music! Great DJ, great night. Music was still playing in my head the following day!

Enrico Sanguiliano Tell us a bit about yourself, your background and how you got into music.

I was really young, I started playing on my desk while studying at school.

Then my desk became drumkit.. Then I discovered that with computers, I could create something new, different from reality. And then I started making noise with big PCs. After 10 years

www.AudiationMagazine.com

dropping my music into rave parties, I thought okay let's send this to some labels, and then it started. So I played, in the last 10 years, the biggest parties in Italy and then I started to move accross Europe and beyond.

What did you think of the event tonight and the Mauritian crowd?

Really responsive crowd, I see really powerful reaction and great minds.

What can we expect to see from you in the future?

Regarding dates , i'm going to Australia next week and i'm going to Slovenia, Bulgaria and then Italy - I'm Italian but I have to say Italy!

I'm playing accross Europe, It's good because it means that people are reacting in a good way, Pratyush, Secret Models This is the first underground event in Mauritius with Secret Models, what were the initial ideas and how do you think it’s going?

Initally I was tagged as a commercial promoter, the last couple of shows that are commercial with a basic genre of music I wanted to do. But there was a certain situation that pushed me to say let's try to do underground. I think it's like 5 in the morning and

we still have people around. For the first underground party on the 24th of the month, I think it's a huge success for me.

What do you have planned for the future?

For the moment, I'm taking a break for two months and I really want to resharpen my energy but I'm coming back in January with a really really really big one. This guy is actually the childhood dream of a lot of promoters.

I've already signed him and I'm not going to say anything more!

Next event: 09.01.16
