Alesso

We at Beat My Day have done a new interview with the upcoming star, Alesso. Alesso has been signed on Joia Records and tomorrow he will release his debute EP. I posted the preview of the EP before and you can read/listen to it here. His EP have support from big names like: Erick Morillo, David Guetta, John Dahlbäck, Avicii & Groove Armade etc. Listen to the preview ”Exit”, David Guetta played it on FMIF and it will include on his upcoming album. He sent us also a free download track, and it’s a bootleg and I think its a pretty cool one. We have some very, very big upcoming interviews soon on the blog. Stay tuned!

So first off, Tell us who you are?

Hi my name is Alesso and I’m 18 years old. I’m born I Stockholm and I’m half Italian.

What began your interest in music and how did you get into house music more specifically?

My first contact with music was when I was 7 years old, I started to the play piano for fun. From there I never stopped playing music. 3 years ago I got in touch with real pure house music and since then I’ve been living for the music.

How would you describe your production style and what kind of influences do you have?

My production style is very diverse. I’m very open-minded when it comes to house music. It can be very hard and clubby but in the same time very melodic and progressive.

How did you get involved with Joia Records and what have that meant to you?

I was presented to Joia Records through my manager. What that will mean to me only time can tell.

Huge Dj’s such as Erick Morillo and David Guetta have played your tracks a severel times in their sets. How did that happened and what does it mean to you and your career?

This sure means a lot to me since they both are two of the biggest dj’s around the world right now. To my career, of course it’s positive, but as I said before, only time can tell.

Which are your top 5 tracks at the moment?

Alesso – Exit (Original Mix)
Miike Snow – Silvia (Sebastian Ingrosso & Dirty South Remix)
Laurent Simeca & Stephan M – Roxanne (Timofey & Bartosz Brenes 17:44 Mix)
Joan Reyes – Shakedown (Bass Kleph Remix)
Alesso – Think It’s Time (Original Mix)

What producer would you love to work on a track with?

There’re several producers I would love to work with out there. But if I had to choose at this moment it would no doubt be MR Sebastian Ingrosso.

What would be your ultimate goal as a producer?

To achieve music that goes right in to your soul and makes people go crazy and remember what real music is about, Love for the music.

When you are djing, how could a normal Alesso set look like?

Well it depends on what kind of club/crowd your playing for. My goal of a great set is to make people have a really fucking good time and enjoy every minute of the night.

What does your studio look like and which program do you use?

It’s new renovated so it doesn’t have a lot of stuff. Basically it’s just my speakers, my synth and my computer. Since you pretty much can put everything in your computers nowadays you don’t need so much hardware. And of course I’m working with Logic Pro.

Lastly, a word of advice to the future DJs and producers out there?

I’m very new in this business so I don’t have so much to say, but one thing for sure is that it doesn’t come by it self, you have to push every moment to it’s best and off course love what you’re doing.
