Pulse: How has the first year and half of Hideout’s existence been, can you give us some anticipations on label future?

Luca: For Davide and me Hideout is a gamble: in a very short space of time it has established itself in the marketplace as a label which doesn’t follow the going trends; but instead is governed by our instincts. As I have said Hideout isn’t just a label; but something which encompasses our vision, our lifestyle. This year we have hosted parties all over the world: twice at WMC, we will be at DC10 Ibiza on the 10th of August and Amsterdam for the ADE. But all this is not enough. It’s just one aspect of our work. Soon we’ll be releasing the new Patrick Lindsey EP and Davide & Guti’s new track plus remixes by Kerri Chandler and Dubfire to follow! Then my EP and a series of very talented new Italian artists.

Pulse: More and more you can hear purists saying that they like a DJ because “he plays only with vinyls” what are your thought on digital/vinyl discussions ?

Luca: I’m not interested anymore in the instrument used for a performance, what’s important to me me is that when we talk about music, we talk about quality. Those who make a point of boasting their vinyl “credentials” are just marketing themselves. like Ritchie Hawtin did with his promotion of new technologies. You can reach your objective either way, as long as you keep the Music at the centre of it all.
