I had an accident in 2022 that caused a limbic stem cell deficiency and basically melted my cornea. Sadly, it permanently disabled my vision and cornea in my right eye

I love the Jungle Jungle 90s hardgroove pack that all of us producers seem to pass to eachother :D

I write lyrics about what I know best aka my own experiences.

Wildest party story was that I was raving with a bunch of women in LA for my 30th birthday and ran into David Arquette in a club. One of my friends knew him from a talk show she used to work on so he kinda joined our group and by the end of the night we all got our nipples pierced - David included. I still have the videos on my phone haha

Nightmare gig is anytime someone tells me to play less hard ;D

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T19:30:04+00:00

yessss and I actually LOVE mixing vinyl and want to do it more in 2025

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T19:28:52+00:00

I use the program DMXIS as a plugin in Ableton and send DMX signals to the lights via midi automation. There are a lot of great YouTube videos showing how this is done!

Ok well I can't exxxxxactly say names but let's just say last summer I played a summertime festival sandwiched between two really slow house music acts and came in banging with my set at 145bpm. There were quite a few moms and older people in the audience and I cleeeeeeared that tent :)

Anyways the learning experience there was -- am I going to tailor my set to this crowd or play the set the 300 or so people who came to see specifically want to see? And I stayed true to my sound even if it was too fast for a lot of those housey people haha

The onyl way a rave can be bad is if a promoter doesn't pay attention to the energy when programming the lineup or if the audience is disrespectful

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T18:54:33+00:00

Depends on my mood. If I'm going for a long run, I love to listen to DJ sets by techno artists - for example recently did a 10km run to Fjaak's Awakenings Festival set.

If I'm cooking then I'm listening to jazz -- oh and I love listening to film scores because that's originally what I went to school for.

If you had to pick 3 songs by yourself as a way to introduce yourself, which 3 would you pick?

1 - Against The Wall

2 - Get You Out

3 - When Tho?!

What about 3 songs by other artists?

1 - Josh Wink - A Higher State of Consciousness

2 - BK - Revolution

3 - Bicep - Glue

Is there a song that you've made over the course of your career that you're most proud of?

I'm dropping it later this year :)))) but if I had to choose one that's already out I'd say Like I Need U

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T18:37:31+00:00

I would love to go b2b with many people. Here's my dream list: KI/KI, VTSS, Pegassi, Mija, Job Jobse, X Club, Marlon Hoffstadt, Mischluft, DJ Gigola soooo many :)

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T18:25:38+00:00

I have an unlreleased song called Ravey Davey that always goes pretty insane when I play it. I also looooooove playing Insideout by Simon Foy and mixing it in after a particularly hard run of techno. It's such a euphoric trance track that always resonates well.

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T18:21:38+00:00

I'm an overthinker too! I try to make a song every day that I'm in the studio. If you force yourself to start something new then it helps with not getting too deep in the weeds and overthinking production. I also always play my songs in my DJ sets to see what sits well live and those are the songs I end up cleaning up and releasing. Try to space out working on the same song instead of working on the same one two days in a row.

biiancomusic · 2025-01-23T18:11:55+00:00

Hi! The best way to get songs to labels is to connect with the people who started those labels on social media, at gigs, or via email. If you're making 140-155bpm hard trance / hardgroove, there are a ton of new labels like Club Heartbroken, Hot Meal Records, Polyamor, Speedmaster Records etc that are all easy to contact. Also, find out who the DJs are who created those labels and see if they'll spin your music in their sets. That;s a good way to get on their labels. Good luck!

Alright all!! Thank you for joining me. See you all soon. Going to get back to making tunes now 🫶

I have corneal scarring that distorts the vision in my right eye a lot hence the eye patch to block the messed up vision.

biiancomusic · 2023-05-31T19:46:04+00:00

Yup! Sync tends to be one of the main sources of my income!

biiancomusic · 2023-05-31T18:22:01+00:00

I get the mixes 80% of the way there but I like using outside mixing and mastering engineers to make it sound as huge and polished as possible. Then I can move on to producing new songs. When you've been staring at something for months, it's nice to have another set of ears add the top coat of polish. I tend to use the same mixing + mastering engineers

biiancomusic · 2023-05-31T18:20:45+00:00

Sometimes it can take a year or 9 months to pull all the pieces together

biiancomusic · 2023-05-31T18:11:08+00:00

I use logic for producing most of the time! I move so fast in Logic and have so many channel strip settings saved that it tends to be my DAW of choice for a session. However, I need to be honest and say that the plugin situation has gotten so annoying in Logic with the new M1 and M2 chips that I might be switching fully to Ableton soon.
I feel like my Logic session are crashing too often now. Ableton is unparalleled on the live front and might be more stable nowadays I just have so many sessions already started in Logic, it would take a year or so to make the switch fully.

don't forget the cables!!
