3. Who was the person who put You into this ? I`m refering here about Your Djane career tho.
Artemis: I always liked electronic music, mainly when I have attended to one of Jean Michael Jarre`s concerts. Were magical moments . Also, I come following the career of Armin van Buuren and I have been always fascinated of its work and devotion for electronic music. Then I think this was the main reason of following the career of a Djane. I really love the electronic scene and mainly trance.
4. Which is the place where You played for the first time Your favourite songs ?
Artemis: I have started with presentations in web radio stations and this really enchants me. After that I have started to participate to parties in clubs in the Carioca night.
5. I know that you want to start producing too, can you tell us more about your future projects ?
Artemis: I think... well... everything has a start and is more about experience and learning about the proper musical production. I have started with "mashups", therefore, I feel myself attracted by the mixture of sounds and rhythms. Also in this project I have interest in making experimentations of Brazilian sounds with tresses, therefore I believe pleasant sounds as final result. Project 12"- together with the Dj Derek-b and Yobani Mérida, is a national and international interaction of Djs, making possible an interchange and spreading of productions of Djs 12". In progress the Project web radio intrance - in set with Dj Save, first web radio of trance in Brazil, will make possible that Djs should presents and introduce their sets and to play their own productions.
6. Do you think that a Djane can have a bigger impact then a Dj ? Therefore, my question is, if a women can be much better then a man in front of the public ?
Artemis: I do not believe this, I find that most important it is the karma of the dj, independent of the sex and gender, if (s)he is man or woman.
7. Who are the producers with which You would like to collaborate in the near future ?
Artemis: To collaborate with Yobani Mérida and Re-ID has been a great experience Learning from them is good and they pass me their motivation to produce. If one day I would have the chance, I would like to collaborate with Armin van Buuren and Sean Tyas, therefore I admire their work and the devotion .
8. Being from Brazil is an advantage or disadvantage for You on the Trance scene worldwide ?
Artemis: The trance scene in Brazil is growing with the coming of great names, in my opinion this is is an advantage for future acts, therefore here in Brazil, there are only a few Trance Djs.
9. Which is Your favourite gig where You would like to play. or else attend to ?
Artemis: I really never thought about a favourite person or thing, find that I am opened to all the chances and invitations that will appear.
10. In the end what can you advice the newcommers dj/producers ? Say a few words in what they should believe when they will ever start their own careere.
Artemis: Love, devotion and persistence. Don`t give up if you really love what you are doing. No one will stay on your way as long you really wish to succed !
Thanks Artemis for your time , and talk to ya next time :)
Thanks for your time and catch you next time , Artemis :)
