SPACE IBIZA ON TOUR

Space-Who is Elio Riso?
ELIO RISO - An Italian-argentine DJ, producer and re-mixer, who has been working in the music industry now for the past 20 years, ten of them in Space. For the past six years I have been a Space resident DJ, playing at Carl Cox’s parties, We Love, Be, opening fiesta and closing fiesta.

How would you define your musical style?
House, tech house, electronic.

What DJ do you admire/like, or has been influential in your career?
Carl Cox and Steve Lawler. I’m so happy to share the line-up with them in several parties. But there are many more artists I like and enjoy listening too.

How did you get into DJing-electronic music?
It was many years ago when electronic music was house music.

What´s your relationship with Space?
I played for the first time in 99, starting my relation with the Club.

What are you doing now? Tell us about your current projects or your most recent achievements?
As a DJ I’ve been playing at Ultrafest with Carl Cox, Moby, Eric Morillo and Pete Tong. I’ve been in Cameo too, with Chus & Ceballos, Matthew Dekay, Patrick M and David Penn. As a producer I’m really happy. My tracks are working very well!

What else do you like apart from music? Share your interests with us.
Have a healthy life, do some sport, enjoy the beach and all the gorgeous places that an Ibiza summer offers you.

The best musical moment in your life was…
There are so many: Listen ‘To be or not to be’ by Groove Armada at Sunset Terrace in We love, in June 2005. Groove Armada, again, in Pete Tong’s charts at BBC Radio 1. Carl Cox playing some tracks at Ultrafest - Ego vs Ego/Power & Music/Fury/Messed up /Space pianist/ “Trombone in Ibiza” - tracks to remember that I wish become summer’s 2009 hits. Steve Lawler in love with all my productions and asking for some for his label. There are many more. We will speak more about it another day. I don’t want to bore you.
See you in Ibiza and at Space! Elio.
