CZB: Are your ancestors from Italy and when did the Molinaris first come to Argentina?

Frederico Molinari: My ancestors came from Italy, Russia and Austria. I have a big mixture in my blood. The first Molinari arrived in Argentina in 1885.

CZB: Do you consider it historically correct that The Malvinas belong to Argentina?

Frederico Molinari: Las Islas Malvinas are 13.000 km. away – far away from the UK, why it should belong to England? They just stole a piece of our territory.

CZB: Why did you move away from Argentina?

Frederico Molinari: I wanted to travel basically. 21 years in Argentina was enough for me I guess.

CZB: How did you get to Germany? Why Germany?

Frederico Molinari: The first time I came to Germany it was by bus (coming fom London). Basically I arrived in Germany randomly. I was spending Holidays in India and I met some German people that took me to Germany; once here I realized that I would like to live in this country.

CZB: Is there anything you miss about Argentina / how often do you go back to visit old friends or relatives?

Frederico Molinari: I miss a lot of things, really a lot, for example the food. But this is the price you have to pay if you live in another country. I go to Argentina once every year.

CZB: When did you discover your passion for music and have you learned to play a musical instrument before becoming a computer freak?

Frederico Molinari: I think my passion for music started very early, maybe when I was 6 or 7 years old. I learned some instruments for a few months like guitar, drums, flute; but then I started playing bass and I decided to do it properly, so I was taking lessons for some years. I am not a computer freak at all!

CZB: What musical genres did you listen to while growing up and how did you discover electronic beats?

Frederico Molinari: When I was a teenager I was listening a lot of bands (hardcore, punk, trash, etc.) and a lot of Jazz, Bossanova and Tango; basically I was listening almost every kind of music. My first connection with electronic music was Kraftwerk and ambient music (with some bands like Tangerine Dreams, etc); then I started listening some disco House, and finally I started with real House. The rest was the normal process (House, Techno, Trance, Minimal, etc)

CZB: What artist or musical project do you consider most important for the evolution of House music and who is your musical icon?

Frederico Molinari: I think that the US was very important for the evolution of House music, there´s many many artists from all over the country; Derrick Carter is a big musical Icon for me.

—

CZB: In what direction do you see House music or electronic beats going during the next decade?

Frederico Molinari: For sure! I don´t know in which direction everything will turn; but for sure the electronic beats will not die because now you listen to electronic beats in every kind of music, from ethnic to Tango.

—

CZB: Why did you name your label Oslo Records … is it about a cold keyboard feeling or an exotic adventure into the opposite hemisphere from that in which you grew up in?

Frederico Molinari: That´s the million dollar question!!! Sorry but the answer is a big secret.

—

CZB: Where do you ultimately want your music to take you and how much longer do you see yourself doing the DJ circuit?

Frederico Molinari: I try don´t to expect so much from the music, so I don´t speculate with the future; I hope I can play much much longer… we will see what happens

CZB: Is this your first time in Romania / and how would you compare Eastern Europe audiences to those you are used to in Western Europe?

Frederico Molinari: I was few times in Romania already. I played at Sunwaves, the 12 hr Maraton @ Bacau and some other cities. For me in Eastern Europe, at the moment, the audience is more motivated. Maybe because the scene is much younger… that´s why i like very much to play in Eastern Europe.
