Hi everyone!
I'm ?irtones, a DJ/producer from Italy.
The ?irtones project started back in 2013. Initially it was composed by me and a friend of mine, then he left and I carried on the project alone.
I discovered the world of music production one year before the project started, and since then I grew a strong passion for music and sound in general.
If you want to check some of my tracks while reading the rest of the interview, i'll leave you some links:

How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
I first started producing Electro and Progressive House, two genres that were rocking back in 2013 when the project started. The very first track of the project was a remix for Italian DJ and producer Molella, followed quickly by an original track named Strike (https://soundcloud.com/airtonesmusic/strike-original-mix), released on his own label WR1 Music.
Initially my influences were mostly oriented on Melbourne Bounce and Electro artists such as Hardwell, VINAI, TJR, Deorro, etc.
Then I discovered the dutch duo Vicetone, and they completely blew my mind with their music. Their tracks were mostly progressive house but their style was so powerful and clean. They influenced my music really much in these years.
Even though I produce mainly these two genres however I listen to all kinds of music, and other genres that influenced me are Dubstep and Orchestral, which i'm recently exploring.
What´s new right now?
I've recently released an EP called Mythology EP on Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal and Google Play. I'm very excited because this is my first EP and because I hope this EP will start a new season of my music career. The EP has 3 tracks + 1 bonus track.
This EP is very special: inspired by the Greek Mythology, I've composed the track trying to connect EDM sounds and Orchestral sounds, so we have Minotaur, Medusa, Poseidon and Atlantis, which is a completely orchestral version of Poseidon.
I'll be releasing a little gift for my followers in the next few days, for Christmas! I'll upload it on my SoundCloud channel.
For the next months I'll be working with my friends on a new project not yet announced, but I can say we are going big.
I'll be releasing another EP soon, also inspired by the Greek Mythology, a sort of follow up to the Mythology EP. I'm really excited to produce these tracks!
