Ignacio Arfeli to młody i utalentowany Techno Producent i DJ, pochodzący z Argentyny. W dzisiejszym wywiadzie pytamy artystę o jego spojrzenie na europejską wersje muzyki techno, wpływ pandemii na klubowe wydarzenia, a także sprawdzamy jego nowości.

Artykuł (wyjątkowo w języku angielskim) stworzyliśmy w ramach nadchodzącego wydarzenia "Twierdza Techno", które odbędzie się 28 sierpnia w szczecińskim LOFT Club - usłyszycie tam między innymi dźwięki od Ignacio oraz polskiego DJ'a - Hellboy'a. Link do wydarzenia znajdziecie poniżej. Polecamy i zapraszamy!

Hi Ignacio and welcome to Hot Magazine! 2021 is a bit of a crazy year but i guess it was still interesting for you. Can you tell us about your most important highlights of the year?

Hi there! thank you very much for this interview. Well, obviously this 2021 is abnormal and something that even today is unfortunately difficult to digest. But beyond this, I can say that on a professional level this was one of the best years of my career without a doubt. Having signed with Octopus Recordings I think was the most important objective of this 2021 since I had proposed to sign an Ep in it.

Techno event in LOFT Szczecin is coming fast. How do you feel before the party and what sounds can we expect from you that night?

I feel super anxious! I never went to Poland so I can't wait to play there. Sound wise... you can expect peak time techno and hard techno without a doubt.

What are the differences between Polish/European and Argentinian techno?

For me the main difference (based on my experience in clubs) is that I feel that here you can play a more raw techno compared to Argentina where melodic house or tech house predominates a little more than techno.

We are sure you have been asked this million times but how did you get in the industry?

I started very low with no previous contacts or knowledge of what the music industry is. I had to train on my own and gradually taking my time. I was producing for almost 2 years, only as a practice until I decided to send to record labels until gradually I was signing and this began to get into more and more labels. Thanks to the support of DJs such as Spartaque, Pan Pot, Noir and Coyu I was able to sign in world-renowned labels such as Suara, Noir Music, Kraftek, Codex, We Are The Brave etc ...

Which artists and styles inspired and influenced you?

I always say that in the beginning my main inspiration in doing techno was thanks to Spartaque. He was undoubtedly the producer who most captivated me and who most listened to when producing my first songs.

What are your plans for the coming days? Are you going to stay in poland and do music on other events or travel elsewhere ?

My plan is to stay at least 2 more days to get to know the city a little more (I am very interested in it) and then return to Berlin to continue working on new projects.

Where can we check more of your music?

You can check everything in Spotify and you can find me as Ignacio Arfeli.

Anything else that we should know about before the big event?

Just that I'm really looking forward to playing there and I already want to see people dance, have a good time and above all with good techno :)
