Exlusive Interview with Angel Stoxx

Hello, Angel! A brief history on your background… Where were you born? What is your occupation?

I was born 31 years ago in sunny Athens of Greece. My love for music started in a very early age. Anyone who knows me from little could tell that I will evolve around music. And so, after many years and studies around music technology and engineering, I'm enjoying my passion for music production, which turned to be a full time job.

What first drew your attention to DJ'ing?

I was the DJ of my school, always looking into the new sounds of the time and wanted to share this with friends, just wanted to have fun, being around the mixer and turntables was inevitable.

What do you enjoy most about DJ'ing?

Like most DJs would answer, the energy of a good crowd, sharing the same love for music even if there are 50 or 5000 people, ill still have a good time.

I produce tech house atm, not the German tech house though, which I find quite boring but a more groovy and funky type of house. I grew up with American and French flavors in my ears so you can imagine that something which is flat bores me to hell.

How did you get in with Hotfingers and 303lovers?

I'm a good friend with Manuel De La Mare. I had the luck to release an EP by him on my label some years ago. As much as I can remember we had more or less the same perception in house music, we always digged each others sounds and im really happy that I release a lot of my music on his successful label. Of course im must not forget Alex with who were talking a lot before I make contact with Manu.

Who do you most respect in the DJ world?

I guess that everybody who's into music will groove his or her head listening to a good track. I think it's the same passion that people in the industry share.

What inspires you?

I find inspiring a good night out, I always wanna get in the studio and write beats after a good gig or listening to a good DJ who came in town.

Gigging abroad can you remember any interesting story to tell?

Being on the road, waiting for hours in airports and having long hour trips don't know how fascinating can be, however I find interesting the history and mentality of each country I visit. I learn a lot..

What's your next stop for your music and your career?

My plan for 2011 is eventually finish my first album, continue releasing hit tracks and keep up with the hard work.

Define yourself in 1 word…?
