Read the Soney Interview below and share it on social media.
Please tell our readers who you are and what you do?
My name is Soney, I'm from Brazil and I'm a DJ and producer. I started my career as DJ in 1999. I've been living in Estonia from 2016 to 2017 and I became resident on 9/11 Club in Tallinn after an exclusive evening presenting an all nigh long set till 9am! Also I've played at the Red Emperor Music Week 2016 and I became resident of Cafe VS, one of the most well-known lounges in Tallinn, playing Chillout, Ambient and Brazilian Beats. Today I have a video project in Brazil called Soundscape that I show DJ sets with different artists in unusual places.
How would you describe your influences and how have they changed over the years?
My main influences in Electronic Music comes from Jean-Michel Jarre, Kitaro, Vangelis, Robert Miles, Paul Oakenfold and DJ Marky. Those influences defined my affinity for progressive elements and floating melodies within style like Progressive House, Trance and Chill Out. Also I have many afro brazilian influences, so I really love percussion drums and organic sounds! My mixes are mainly focused on Progressive House, Techno, Deep House and Afro House, but I can add influences from Chill Out, Trance, Downtempo and Post Rock.
What´s new right now?
Actually now I'm in vacation, but this year I'm focused in music production and in my video project. Also, I'm producing a new EP that will count with some good brazilian remixers, but has not date to release yet.
