Selectors Podcast 014 - Marco Passarani by dekmantel
After starting the mini Dekmantel Selectors podcast series last year, we couldn’t resist continuing it with artists from this year's line-up. In the next couple of months, we will release 5 podcasts by some of our favourite artists. This year’s podcast theme is all about 'another side of me', wherein the artists show another side of theirselves. That being said, we're happy to have Italian top-notch artist Marco Passarani contributing to this series. Passarani rightfully is one of the most revered figures in Italian dance music. Producing, DJing, promoting, running labels, and doing just about everything else one can in the electronic music sphere since the early '90s (not to mention, serving as one-half of the always classy Tiger & Woods duo), Passarani approaches his DJ-sets with the kind of grace and confidence that only someone that's been doing it for this long and this well can. For us, he tried to reflect another side of himself in his own and unique way. A mix that contains of outstanding tracks such as DAF's 'El Que' and Kate Bush's 'Cloudbusting'. "I've always struggled when I tried to put together a selection of the music I listen to at home, or anywhere outside of the way I'd do it in a club. This time, I tried to represent that invisible line I see and hear in between my euro electro/wave pop background and some other more sophisticated songs I grew up with (and still is a part of my private listening sessions). All linked to a couple of excursions in the chiptunes area, Italian music and more classic contemporary electronica. This is another side of me somehow, or one of the other sides."
