“I´m part of a generation that grew up without social media, so for me, I know I can take the best parts of it, for me it’s a positive thing.”
“Social media is just 100% to promote my music. It’s not to promote myself. I wouldn’t post things about my private life, my family, or my kids. I mean it’s fine if people want to do that, but I think it’s dangerous and it’s difficult for personalities…”
“I mean I check other profiles, I check musicians I like on Instagram. I’m addicted to it. It’s a problem and I know how many hours I spend doing this.”
There is a fine line between the real world and online life.
“So, you pretend you have a great life, and people watching it feel worse because they start thinking why he’s always traveling, why he’s got this and that, you take the energy from the people who see your profile just to feel better, and I don’t know if this is a good thing.”
Tino’s commitment to authenticity is reflected in his evolving sound, and it was with this in mind he premiered a track at Mixmag LAB Verbier.
“The track I made with Roosevelt is really special because I like him as a person, and I like his music. We’re both Germans, so we’ve known each other for many years. It was cool to finally work on a track to- gether, but it took us a while.”
“I think we have been working on this song for about two and a half years and to be able to play it now feels so great. I was so happy to play the track and see the reaction of the crowd for the very first time. I just can’t wait to play this song again. For me as a DJ, it’s important to test tracks to see the reaction and that’s is the reason why I make music, just to play the track, and see the reaction on the dance floor.”
The new track with Roosevelt not only worked great on the dance floor but also had a very interesting creation process from the beginning.
“I think the most difficult part was to combine both of our styles. I mean we are kind of in the same lane, his sound, and my sound. We had so many different options, demos, and approaches to work on the sound that we hadn’t found one version that everyone liked. Either it was a bit too much Roosevelt or a bit too much Purple Disco Machine. Finally, the version we have now is exactly in the middle and we are very happy with it. It’s like we said before, follow your heart.”
Tino describes his tracks as a fusion of a signatu- re disco vibe with elements of electronica and live instrumentation and with each passing year, he incorporates more and more elements into the mix.
“Of course, I listen to the radio, of course, I listen to people, top 10s and charts and stuff. But I think the most important thing for every musician, also for me, is just to evolve your music without losing
