"I Like Music because… it is my life" ALEX GAUDINO

ILM: Your new single Watch Out is out now. Can you give us your own personal description of the track?

Alex: We were looking for an idea, so we could get the same vibe as Destination Calabria. When you are looking for a new idea you need to find inspiration. We found that in the sample we used, which was the horns from Pig Bag's hit, 'Papa's Got A Brand New Pig Bag'

ILM: You've got a big international tour coming up - How do you prepare for your DJ sets and what do you look forward to the most?

Alex: I look forward to DJing. It is what it is about. My first love is DJing. I just try to get records that I like and that I think will be suitable for my DJ set. I try to find tracks that will work. It depends on how I am feeling and where I am playing. The biggest gig I have ever played was in Brazil to 65,000 people which was amazing!"
