Andrea Fiorino's DJ career began in 1995, at the age of 16, and was motivated by listening to Lorenzo Al Dino's radio show on Austrian CD International radio station. At that time he occasionally DJ'd at his friend's club named Spider, located in his hometown of Brno, Czech Republic. It was very small, situated near to a college and visited mainly by students.

He has also played in a few other clubs, where his older friends were DJing and were kind enough to let him spin few records. In 1999 he became a resident of a new club in the city centre named Remix with a capacity of about 500 party people. Since then he has played in many other clubs across the whole Czech Republic like Mecca, Radost FX, Roxy (Prague), Fabric (Ostrava), 7th Heaven (Brno) etc. During his career, he has spun records in Slovakia, Poland, Austria, Italy, Croatia, Greece and The UK. He has played alongside DJ names like Warren Clarke, ATFC, Paul Farris, Layo & Bushwacka!, Space DJz and many more.

In 2000, he started to discover the world of producing and remixing. Since then he has made remixes for Czech and Slovak artists like Monkey Business, DJ Neo, Maduar or A-Tak! and one for the famous British group Kava Kava. He has done with his friends a few productions under the nicknames Mixtiq and Those Bad Guys plus lots of bootlegs and mashups.

As a young lad fresh out of school with no idea of how the big wide world works, I was fortunate for my first ever job to be in a record shop in Sunderland called Chartz Records. It was the mid 80's so it was mainly the electronic 80's sound that was around with the main RnB singers like Luther and Alexander O'Neal leading the way for soul. I however opted for the electronic 80's sound and fell in love with Soul & RnB around about the early 90's, however not before the early days of Rave.

Living in the coal mining area of the north east there was only one popular sound in the 90's and that was Hardcore...I could not stand the stuff and still can't to this day. So there i was all alone with my taste in music and over time had ended up with a massive collection of soulful and mellow 90's tracks (The Beloved, Mantronix etc) after listening to and seeing so many DJ's i then decided to invest in a pair of belt drive turntables (they were terrible lol), It took me years to get used to them and then finally the Pioneer CDJ 500's landed...

I was reborn I loved them, my music collecting and fascination went into overdrive, I used to eat, sleep and drink house music, Finding a decent place for a night out was quite hard too back then, while all my friends were off to the hardcore nights I would look around and find nothing that palyed what i liked. Then SHINDIG (Newcastle, Riverside) opened it doors in 1992 and world renowned DJ's were on my door step and the best time of my life had begun. Thses nights created memories and helped me make friends for life all thanks to House Music.

While all this was going on I continued to polish my mixing skills and fine tune my style by playing in small bars and venues across the North of England which eventually led me to a regular slot on Pressure radio, so I would end by saying.... We are only on the earth for a short while so why not try and make you mark on it.

I would like to think I have helped educate many people on the style and vibe of soulful & deep house through my mixes and would like to keep that side of house going as long as possible. It feels and looks like it is one of the main genres of house that's really struggling the past few years and it is mainly the mature heads that are loyal to this timeless art form of music however I'm sure the longevity and timlessness of the music we love will help keep it from fading totally and with the likes of VBW, Southport & Suncebeat championing it there's years of life left in it....and after all its ..MATURE MUSIC FOR MATURE EARS. Iain Willis inside the radio New York Floor.

Radio NYF. Ricco Cordero Djaimin Family. Se promener sur le site historique de Lyon, c'est flâner à travers le temps, depuis sa fondation en 43 avant J.-C. jusqu'à nos jours. La ville a gardé des traces permanentes et continues des périodes qui ont marqué son histoire. L’origine de l’installation de l’homme sur le site de la ville de Lyon remonte vraisemblablement à 10 000 ans av. J.-C. au Nord en bordure de Saône, à Lyon-Vaise (9e) où un port important y était présent. Ensuite, la population se densifia progressivement pendant l’âge du Bronze et l’âge du Fer.

C’est à partir de 43 av. J.-C. que le gouverneur romain Munacius Plancus fonda une colonie sur Fourvière dénommée Lugdunum. La ville devint vers 20 av. J.-C. le point de départ des quatre grandes voies romaines vers le Rhin, la Manche, l’Aquitaine et la Narbonnaise. La cité restera prospère jusqu’au milieu du IIe siècle et devint capitale économique de la Gaulle. Elle s’étendit sur les d eux rives de la Saône et la Presqu’Île avec une population estimée jusqu’à 50 000 habitants. Au IIIe siècle, Lyon subit les invasions germaniques et le brigandage : la ville déclina et les habitants se déplacèrent de Fourvière vers Saint-Paul et Saint-Georges. Le nouveau centre correspondait alors au groupe épiscopal de Saint-Jean. Au Moyen Age, Lyon se développe le long de la Saône et devient la deuxième ville de la chrétienté médiévale, derrière Rome.

À la Renaissance, la cité possède quatre foires annuelles de deux semaines chacune. Internationale, Lyon devient un centre financier et héberge des succursales de banquiers italiens, florentins, milanais et lucquois. En 473, Barthélémy Buyer introduit l’imprimerie dans la ville. Le plus grand siècle de Lyon fut sans doute le XVIe siècle : 60 000 habitants, plate-forme de commerce européen, relations avec les pays méditerranéens, le Nord de la France, la Rhénanie et la Suisse. En même temps, la ville compte un grand nombre de manufactures de tissage de soie, qui vont se développer au XIXe siècle passant du quartier Saint-Georges à la Croix-Rousse.

If ever there was an artist who doesn’t need an introduction, it has to be the man known to music lovers the world over simply as El Maestro. Throughout his rise to become both a foundation and a founding father of the underground house scene, the name Hernán Cattáneo has become synonymous with dedication, passion and an unwavering commitment to championing a unique quality of music that is hard to define, but instantly recognisable as his signature sound. His effortless ability to clock up more than 30 years of DJing, 11 albums, 30 singles and 50 remixes is the legacy of a uniquely powerful personal touch, which ensured that Hernán stood out from the start. During his first DJ residency at Buenos Aires’ legendary Clubland, it was Hernán’s winning combination of humble professionalism, primal passion for the music and deep­rooted dedication to the dancefloor­lovers which enabled him to make his mark as a warm­up DJ for some of the biggest names in dance music.

And it was his friendships with those names ­ among them Paul Oakenfold, John Digweed and Sasha ­ that set him on the path to superstardom. Within just a few short years of embarking on an international DJ career, Hernán became the first ever South American resident for global brand Cream; won residencies at Cream in Ibiza and Liverpool and Pacha in Buenos Aires and Ibiza; and went on to grace the DJ Mag Top 100 poll ten years in a row.

The quality of his selection and production skills were soon being called on by the biggest house labels, including Bedrock, Perfecto, Renaissance and Balance. As his global career grew, so too did his legions of fans, and word spread worldwide about the man whose legendary all­night sets had the power to set your feet on fire and make your soul sing. Long­since established as a hot ticket in any town, Hernán’s legendary all­night sets have seen him conquer every corner of the globe. From Warung Brazil, Yellow in Tokyo and LA’s Avalon to Stereo Montreal, Burning Man and London’s Ministry of Sound, there is scarcely a club, festival or dancefloor on the planet that hasn’t been transported on a masterful music journey lasting long after the ebb of the final beat.

But beyond his own achievements and accolades, there are much deeper motivations moving the man who has become one of Argentina’s most treasured musical exports. As one of the rarified few artists to reach the very top, he works tirelessly to give his all back to the scene that supported him on his way up. Rightly renowned for his consistent championing of up and coming artists and labels, he has become as applauded for spotlighting the talent of the next generation as for his own skills.

Through his DJ sets, his own Sudbeat label and his world­famous weekly Resident radio show, he is constantly connecting a global community, and providing an essential platform which enables new stars to shine. And while his own star continues to soar, perhaps Hernan’s greatest passion lies in empowering others to enjoy the best house music in the world, and shaping the future of that music for generations to come. Hernán Cattáneo inside the radio New York Floor.

Kenny Carpenter is a DJ who has gone through from every part of nightlife from doing the lights with Walter Gibbons to DJing at Studio 54, where has been the resident DJ for more than 20 years.

When thinking about Tony Humphries, you might be minded of his epic stint at KISS FM-NYC as one of its greatest Mastermixers; or of his residency at one of the greatest US clubs, The Zanzibar; or, even, the walls that are lined with gold discs, from Indeep to Janet Jackson; or his legendary eclecticism for throwing whatever works into the mix, from The B-52’s or Rhythim Is Rhythim to Blaze. Heck, Tony Humphries is, of course, all of those things and more. But then, there’s the Tony of today, restless, questing, searching for new challenges. Which, when you think about it, is pretty much how Tony has always been. 

Few people realize just how deeply steeped in performing Tony Humphries’ family is. His father, Rene “El Grande Combo” Humphries, an émigré from Colombia in the 1950s, was a prominent bandleader in New York, heading his New York Combo for many years alongside peers like Tito Puente and Eddie Palmieri. His uncle was the radical dance choreographer Eleo Pomare, while among his cousins are Keiann Collins, a Hollywood producer. The gifted guitarist (and Tony collaborator) André Lasalle, the actor/producer Kenneth Dixon and the dancer/choreographer Jian Piere-Louis who, says Tony, “wants to learn Djing from me, friggin’ crazy!” Tony and family are pretty much the Jackson 5 of Brooklyn.

Tony Humphries has now been DJing nearly 35 years, an incredible achievement that in any other industry would have been rewarded with a carriage clock, service medal and a free bus pass. His big break came through a chance meeting with Mastermixer Shep Pettibone at the offices of Prelude Records. A shy Humphries handed over his 120-minute mixtape to Shep and then forgot all about it.

A few days later, he received the following message from Shep. “Hey Tony! This is Shep Pettibone. I was the chillin’ on the beach listening to your cassette tape, and it was fierce! I work for a radio station in NYC called WBLS and there’s this new radio station starting called Kiss FM and I got a new job there where I’m responsible for 16 hours of music programming.

Do you think you could put together four hours of music and have it delivered by tomorrow afternoon?” Kiss FM became the hottest station in the five boroughs and Humphries’ star rose and his show went on to last for many years both at KISS and, later, HOT 97. His lengthy stints at both stations were not simply an exercise in career furtherment, but a way of introducing new music and acts to the city of New York and further afield.

“The whole purpose of my two hours on KISS is to break new people,” Tony told Muzik. “If you can’t break them they you shouldn’t have the job. Anybody can play to a crowd and play last week’s hits and have people screaming. What does that accomplish? They pay you a couple of hundred dollars and you go home.

People won’t remember you; they’ll remember the records. You have to make them think, ‘that’s the record I heard Tony play at Zanzibar’. If they don’t do that, who are you?” Tony’s shows were widely followed by industry and fans alike – with the same sort of impact and reach to Pete Tong in the UK. Techno don Kevin Saunderson recalled a pivotal moment in his early career. “I told my brother that I was making music now. He’s like, ‘Sure you are!’ So I go back to visit my family in New York.

Tony Humphries is on and ‘Triangle of Love’ comes on in the mix. ‘That’s my record! That’s my record!’ That was so inspirational. It’s one thing to make a record but it’s a different level of excitement to hear it played on the radio.” Although Humphries was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, he has long been associated with New Jersey and the reason for that is his long-held residency at Club Zanzibar in Newark, where he began spinning in 1982. Zanzibar became synonymous with a new soulful electronic sound, labelled the Jersey sound, but with Tony’s hands at the tiller it was a vastly more varied menu than that suggests, since he was there at the birth of house music and helped nurture its development in both Jersey and New York. “It wasn’t like going to a house club or a techno club or a classics club, everything was intertwined,” explains Tony.

“The hours were long, so obviously you didn’t want to hear ten hours of straight house music. If you’re going to pay $15-20 to hear this guy, you want to hear the whole damn spectrum and whatever it is, it better be quality. And, believe me, you had to come with everything possible. Talking Heads and The B-52s don’t sound like Zanzibar/Garage records, but they were. They were just funky records. I think that’s what the Zanzibar’s appeal was.” Tony Humpries & Djaimin family inside the radio New York Floor.
