Read the Henry CIX Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Enrico Cirieco. I am 18 years old and I DJ and produce under the name Henry CIX. I mostly make future house/bounce as well as future bass. I started DJ-ing around 3 years ago and producing in August 2015. So far I managed to play in smaller clubs around my town, Prague, as well as some birthday parties however I am looking at expanding my network and promoting myself very soon. I also produce hip-hop, lo-fi and experimental music under another alias, deltacro. I so far have one major release, which got signed on Hawditch Record's sub-label, Hawditch Digital. The song is called "Colossus One" and you can find it here:
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I discovered EDM in the summer of 2012. I listened to some DJ mixes for the first time, however, I didn't really pay much attention to the EDM scene. But then, on a cold rainy night in October 2013, my friend sent me a link on Facebook saying, "Check out this song, it's really good!" The track was called "Mutants" by Unknown Kids. I was in shock after listening to it. I felt goosebumps and I listened to it for at least 30 more times. It got me every single time. I started researching more about EDM and came across songs that were very popular at that time such as "Animals" by Martin Garrix and DJ mixes from the likes of Tiesto and DJ Micro. From that point on, my love for EDM started growing. I started following DJ's and record labels like Spinnin' Records. I first started listening to Dubstep and Electro/Big Room House, but then I gradually switched to Future House and Future Bass. Ever since I started producing, my interest in these two sub-genres increased dramatically and that's why I am now mainly focused on them. However, I try not to limit myself only on EDM and I search for influences and inspiration from classical and rock/punk music. When I DJ, I tend to play lots of future and electro house.
What´s new right now?
I have been really busy lately with finishing high school this year.It has definitely taken a lot of my free time that I had before and unfortunately I am not able to produce as much as I could 2 years ago. However, my exams will end in May so I have a very long summer ahead of me and that is when I am planning on producing and DJ-ing. I am currently working on some songs that I wish to finish and release as soon as possible, as well as some collabs which are still at the beginning stage.
