We had the good fortune of connecting with Luciano Ferrer and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Luciano, Let’s talk about principles and values – what matters to you most?
In terms of music and generally, consistency and persistence . Do what you love and remain consistent in the face of hardship.

It matters to me because it yield results. I’m a big believer that you get out what put in. You have to make the time and be resilient.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Techno is about style which is what I believe sets me apart. After years of producing and dj’ing you start to develop your own sound. Last year i won the Reform Discovery DJ contest, which is one of the biggest — if not the biggest house and techno festival in southern california. Every years they have DJs submit a mix to win a set at the festival with a proper setup and great sound system. It was an amazing time, I’ll never forget it.

I hate to sound repetitive but I’ve gotten where I am with practice which leads to progress. It definitely isn’t easy. I believe producers in any genre struggle with output. For every so many tracks you make a few might be good. You have to be willing to finish a bad track or else you get into the habit of not completing things. I don’t want the world to know much about me because it’s not about me, it’s about the music. It’s about connecting as a community and dancing to some good music.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Hmmm, I don’t know, I think I’m going to stay vague on this one. There are a lot of great spots in the desert but you gotta find them yourself. Little Bar is cool.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Not really a person, but tennis as sport. I have learned a lot in how to approach life from tennis. It is a very mental game, you learn to problem solve while keeping a cool head. Which is pretty useful in life. Tennis has also conditioned me to become disciplined due to years of training and it translates well in the studio and, DJ booth.
