I loved this invitation and this freedom to show my references without the commitment of thinking about dance floors. Electronic music for me has always been something way beyond the dance floors. I entered this universe through Trip Hop and Ambient. In this sense, the sentimental aspect always attracted me much more than simply the excitement and frenzy of beats made for the dance floors. Overt the time, I understood that in our environment there are two types of professionals: Those who stand only as DJs, whose goal is simply to bring fun to people... and the Artists, those who create a speech and aim to pass a message through music, and often, do not feel obliged to please. I identify myself a lot more with the second ones, the artists. I began this mix with the excerpt from an interview by the artist Marina Abramović, where she advises young artists. I think her speech is fantastic and I think it expresses much of what I believe as an artist. I wanted to get this message in my mix. In this one hour I chose songs that touch me deeply in the soul and that influenced me in the construction of my musical identity. It is a very introspective and intimate hour.“ 3 QUESTIONS to BLANCAh: Q) What´s the secret about the small "h" in your name BLANCAh? A) Haha good question. When I started the process of creating my new musical and visual identity, I looked for a name that represented all of this. I had been painting my hair a few years and decided to discolor it completely. Then I became BLANCAh („white“ in spanish). So far so good. So I decided to do some basic research to find out if there was anyone with this name on our circuit yet, and I met other people with that name. Letter 'H' came to set me apart from these other people, so I decided to keep it in lower case, just to lessen it´s importance in the name, hahaha. But in the end it became one of the most interesting letters in my name and the way I play with the spelling between upper and lower case gave an extra weight. Q) Tell us about the music scene in Brazil as you´re resident in the famous club D-Edge. What´s the difference to the music scene in Europe? A) Well, there are many similarities and obviously, big differences between these two scenes. Musically speaking we are very close to each other. The scene in Brazil is rich, full of very interesting and competent artists. Brazilian public is very passionate and affectionate. The energy of a full dancefloor in Brazil has the power of an atomic bomb, in a good way. Here the audience is very loyal to a club and it´s favorite artists. During my trips I realized that both, in Europe and in Brazil, there is the struggle of small nuclei who struggle to create the scene in their cities, people who do it out of sheer passion, who fight for money and give blood to see it happen. These nuclei are essential for artists like us since they enrich and educate an audience in cowtrysides of where only the radio presents the "news", which in general are commercial shit. I feel that a more pronounced difference between Europe and Brazil is that here we still do not really know the real meaning of Underground. This is a difficult subject to address in a few lines but deserves debate. Q) Which BLANCAh releases are coming soon? A) I am now working on two Steyoyoke projects. One is called „Authentic“ where I present an original song and I still select 9 songs from the label to compose a compilation. I'm working on a remix for our „Coupple Affair“ project. I'm also working on my next EP. And also traveling a lot to play and take my art further in this world. Comment by Kostya Tarasenko Brilliant deal.
