IN DARK WE TRUST: Did Virgo

Italian DJ & producer, Berny, has set up a very nice podcast series called IN DARK WE TRUST. He is taking care of the mixes, we as Tanzgemeinschaft take care of the interviews. The focus of the mix series is “Dark Disco”, a genre that is too dystopian to be called disco, too melancholic for house, and too musical to be techno. It’s also usually slower than original disco, loosely ranging from around 80 to 130 BPM. But importantly, it always remains very danceable.

So enjoy this second mix in the series. Did Virgo in control for this edition.

Ciao Did where are you from and how is the Dark Disco club scene in your country?

Hi everybody i come from beautiful Marseille, one of the most cosmopolitan cities in France. Dark Disco club scene is great but still very underground but we like to keep it this way.. small clubs and parties have the warmest people..

When did you start DJing/producing and what or who were your early passions and influences?

I started djing in Marseille back in 1990 and now i am resident in La Dame Noir together with my brother Phred Noir with whom I share a long history of friendship and passion for music. I started producing in 2014 and released all my best Eps on La Dame Noir Recordings like ‘Rise&Shine’ with Arthur Johnson, highly appreciated and played by many important djs.

The best & worst experience as a DJ?

I had many better & worst experiences as a dj, it’s part of the job, sometimes betters gigs are the unexpected ones and you are disappointed with your expectations, some other times strange or boring situations turn into incredible experiences. For sure one of my best  experience was in ADA Festival in Istanbul back in 2001, so many good memories from people and the beautiful location.

With this pandemic situation and clubs lockdowns how are you spending your time home?

It’s a really hard situation and i miss so much playing in the clubs but now i spend my time making music in my home Studio. I am trying to finish old projects and starting new ones, i’m very excited for that, lot of good music coming up, stay tuned!
