Sottosopra

INTERVIEW WITH STEOX 01. What's your name, how old are you and where do you live? My name is Stefano Di Nunzio, I'm 38 and I live in the southern area of Milan. 02. Why did you choose the artist name “Kikko/SteoX” and why did you changed it lately? Kikko was born by chance honestly, I had decided to register on Gigi's forum and I didn't know which nickname to use... so I put the first one that came to mind, Kikko 😄 It has never been my artist name! SteoX is simply the transformation of the way my friends call me... "Steo" 😄 03. What is your job? I am self-employed and work in the family business at the moment! For the future I hope to be able to transform my passion for music into a job. 04. When and why did you start making music and which was your first success? I started very early, at about 12/13 years old with the PlayStation 1. There was a beautiful game called "Music" that allowed you to create songs, that's where I fell in love with production. I couldn't tell you which song was the most successful, for me the most important is definitely "Close Your Eyes" by Angels Never Cry that I produced when I was 17. That's where it all started. 05. How many tracks did you make altogether and how much were played by Gigi? It's hard to quantify, I created so many overall! Gigi played almost everything I passed to him, especially in the evening 😄 06. What are your favourite tracks from other artists, from Gigi and also from yourself? As for mine, I couldn't tell you, maybe one that has yet to come out 😄"Gigi's Love" for sure and then I love Martin Garrix musically! In reality though, I listen to anything of any genre! 07. How long does it take for you to produce a song? It depends on the song, it can take 1 day or 1 month… there are too many variations! For example, for "Viaggetto" it took 2 days… while "Jump" I worked on for 2 months before arriving at the version that I then published. 08. What is your inspiration when you want to create something new? I never start with a very precise idea… for melodies I write down some chords and then I start studying them, for human voices I almost always start from a vocal and then I work on everything else! 09. What do you think about your own music and what does it mean to you? On this I see you very much like Gigi… music must reflect the person who creates it and must convey what the person who creates it feels. I like this freedom that you have in music and I don't like having to adapt to what the market demands… freedom (even in music) is fundamental. 10. Who is behind "The Love Family" and "Noise Of Love" and how did they came to life? They are 2 separate projects… "Love Family" are many people who carried out different projects… for example "Viaggetto" there is me and Oreste Spagnuolo…. "Noise of Love" are Oreste Spagnuolo and Mario Scalambrin. 11. With who did you also work together? I did something with Dallas and then I collaborated a lot with Oreste Spagnuolo. Honestly I am a person who does not like collaborations, I prefer to do what I like alone! 12. Are you doing only music production or also DJing? No no, only productions… the world of DJing has never excited me. 13. Do you play an instrument? Piano and some guitar, but all at an amateur level. 14. In which way Gigi D'Agostino got your tracks and how did you feel when you heard them for the first time in his sets? How was the relation between both of you? I always got to Gigi through Oreste, because he already collaborated with Gigi. Hearing your own tracks in the sets, on the radio or on CD was definitely very exciting, especially the first time! With Gigi I have always had a beautiful friendly relationship, we often spoke even about things outside of music... he taught me a lot not only about music and I will always thank him. 15. Did Gigi just use your tracks exactly how you made them or do you two even worked together on some tracks (and if so, how did you work together)? He used them exactly as you heard them, no changes or collaborations 😄 16. Many of the other "Co-Artists" (Andrex, Dallas, LuHa MsM, Romanzi and Dendo) released their tracks in the early 2010s. You had some short edits on Soundcloud back then, deleted them and just came back in 2025. Why? I didn't even want to publish them honestly, I would have preferred to start from scratch with the SteoX project with new music. I published them simply because I heard that some songs were circulating online and some people were passing them off as their own. So now everything is clear and no one can speculate. 17. Did you wish, that besides the "Gigi D'Agostino & The Love Family" songs some of your harder Lento Violento tracks were released on Gigi Compilations? Actually, other songs were supposed to be released, but then there were some problems and nothing came out anymore. 18. What do you think about Gigi D'Agostino as a musician and also as a person? As a musician I can say little because I have never worked with him in the studio so I don't know... as a person there is little to say, in my opinion he is a great man before being a great DJ. 19. With who would you wish to collaborate? Martin Garrix 😄 No as I told you I don't like collaborations 😄 20. What do you plan for the near future? You released already more than 30 tracks on the "Memories EPs", will there also be more of your old stuff coming? Memories Vol. 6 will be released and then, as far as the past is concerned, nothing more will be released officially. As I was telling you, I want to propose new music with various sounds taken from the past, on May 16th a single called "Back To The Future" will be released (not by chance 😄), which will recall the 2000s. I'll give you the news in advance 😉 Anything you want to say in the end? 😉 Thank you for this interview and thanks to the whole community for the support. Follow me on the various social networks because there is a lot of music that is about to arrive ... Lento Violento, Dance, Melody, Hands Up... A big hello to everyone, Stefano! Grazie per l’intervista! Sottosopra, for GFU-Community

I asked Stefano "SteoX" for an interview for GFU, like the one in 2012 I did with DJ Dallas, and he said Yes! 😃 I will send the questions till end of the week. If you want to know something special, please write your questions below or send them to me via Private Message.

SteoX hat auf Instagram einen PayPal-Link geteilt, über den man ihn ein wenig unterstützen kann. Als Dankeschön bekommt man von ihm einen seiner Tracks, die eher unveröffentlichbar sind! https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/StefanoDiNunzio? Ich darf es leider nicht als Musikstück teilen, aber ich sag mal so... Da lässt sich etwas Unerwartetes in der Cammino-Tracklist auflösen 😄 (werd ich beizeiten noch mitteilen)

Wird wohl eher nichts, letztes Jahr waren sie auch Partner und es gab keine Übertragung. https://www.gfu-community.de/topic/32495-gigi-dagostino-fiera-milano-live-21-juni-2024/

Finally some REALLY good Lento again! 😎

Strange decision for Modulo. They don't have Gigi in their program and it is also not a very mainstream track or an evergreen from the past...

Isn't that the base of "Lento Violento - Modulo" in this announciation track? 🧐

 Gewinner des Song Survivor Vol. 27 ist: Gigi D'Agostino - L'Amour Toujours Diesmal gab es ein Retro-Song Survivor mit der Doppel EP "Tecno Fes" aus Gigis Blütezeit Anfang der 00er Jahre!  Auf dem letzten Platz befindet sich "Your Love (Elisir)", welches zu damaliger Zeit zu inflationär auf den Alben und EPs auftrat. Auch weniger beliebt waren bei euch die nicht so abwechlunsgreichen Instrumentaltracks wie "Spostamento" oder "Campane", während es die Titel mit markanten Melodien wie "Tecno Fes" und "Le Serpent" dann doch weiter ins Mittelfeld geschafft haben. Auf den höheren Rängen wurde es dann schon emotionaler in der Abstimmung und es kam zu den ersten sehr knappen Entscheidungen. Alle Songs beider EPs mit richtigem Gesang (außer natürlich "Your Love") befinden sich in den Top 7, in welche sich nur noch "Souvenir" reingschummelt hat^^ Die Single-Auskopplung "Another Way" kam nicht mehr in die Top 3, dafür schaffte es "Amorelettronico" bis weit auf den zweiten Platz! Auf dem ersten Platz thront, wie wahrscheinlich zu erwarten war, "L'Amour Toujours", welches auf der Tecno Fes EP Vol. 1 zum ersten Mal mit dem prägnanten Remix-Riff veröffentlicht wurde und in Folge Gigis berühmtester Song wurde, welcher ihn endgültig weltweit bekannt machte. Vielen Dank an alle, die mitgemacht haben! Hier noch die vollständigen Tecno Fes-Charts, zu finden auch in der Song Survivor-Statistik! SONG SURVIVOR VOLUME 27 (Tecno Fes EP Vol. 1 & 2) 01.

Ich hatte damals als Kind bei dem Sound immer ein Schaf vor Augen, das "Mäh" macht... das krieg ich auch leider nicht mehr raus aus dem Kopf 😂 Hauptsache, wir wissen sofort alle, um welchen Sound es geht hahaha! 😄 Finds auch schön, dass er den als kleine Hommage mal wieder eingebaut hat.

Ok, aber wir sind uns doch spätestens jetzt alle einig, dass Amorelettronico rausfliegt oder? PS: Uns fehlt zwar immernoch ein Folge-Album nach der Smoderanza 2, aber ich hab schon was in petto fürs nächste Spiel
