Exclusive Interview with VINAI

Siam2nite had the opportunity to have an exclusive interview with VINAI, shortly before their performance at Together Festival 2015 on 9th May.

You are brothers, born in Brescia, a city in northern Italy. As “VINAI” you are a worldwide successful production duo that entered DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list at #62 in 2014. How did you get in touch with electronic dance music in the first place?

We started listening to electronic dance music long long time ago, maybe 7 years ago with the explosion of the European success of David Guetta and Bob Sinclar hits. We started doing djs in some venues of our home city like 5 years ago then 2 years after we moved into music production making our own music.

You play and produce Electro- & Progressive House. How would you describe your own music in just a few words?

We like to call our kind of music that we produce ‘Big Room Bounce’ and basically our live set it’s a mixture of EMD music plus some very big pop anthem.

Last year you joined the prestigious Spinnin Records. Within 8 months you released the tracks Bounce Generation, How We Party and Raveology - they have all been highly successful worldwide and all 3 tracks were ranked #1 on the Beatport charts. What other tracks would you recommend to someone that is not yet familiar with your music?

These tracks perfectly describe our ‘artist profile’ as dj and also as producers, we recommend you also to check our our others tracks like ‘Louder’ that we did with Dimitri Vegas and like Mike and our new single ‘Legend’.

At the age of 25 (Alessandro) and 21 (Andrea) you have achieved an amount of success in the music industry most others can only dream about. Is it a gift or a curse to be so successful at such a young age? How do you manage to keep your feet on the ground?

This is insane, right, it’s very important to keep a low profile and stay always with the feel on the ground, simply drinking just water and living the life as we were used to do in the past, nothing have changed us.

What are you currently working and focusing on? What’s on your agenda for the near future?

About touring we will basically touring alongside the whole europe-asia-north america dousing the summer season, for the productions we are working on few new collabo tracks and a new solo record as well.

What was the best and the worst gigs you ever played and what were the funniest things ever occurred during any of your performances?

hahahaha there’s no worst gig, every gig is crazy! maybe the best one of our career was when we joined r3hab at Tomorrowland playing a b2b in the Main Stage last year with him.

On Halloween 2014 you made your Thailand Debut at Onyx RCA. On 9th May you will return to Thailand as one of the headliners of Together Festival – alongside Steve Aoki, Dyro, W&W, Sander Van Doorn and DubVision. Did you keep your Thailand Debut – and Thailand in general - in good memory? What can the Bangkok crowd expect of your upcoming performance?

Of course YES! We love Thailand, this country is amazing, we got a lot of fans here, we are sure that it will be epic!
