Hooked Podcast 014 :: NANDO

Born and raised in New York City, Fernando Arcieri always embraced his diverse background with pride. As the son of a prominent violin maker and the younger brother of a punk rock guitarist turned techno DJ and producer, his culturally rich upbringing was filled with musical influences. Having played the Piano and Saxophone throughout his younger years, Nando's tastes grew more and more diverse as he got older. While New York hip hop acts like A Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Gang Starr, and Wu-Tang Clan claimed most of Nando's attention during his teenage years, he kept aware of all else that was taking shape outside of that genre. The first electronic music artists that caught his ear in the late 90's were Deep Dish, Sasha & Digweed, and Danny Tenaglia among others. From that point on, Nando's love for electronic music began to flourish. Having spring boarded his career in Miami, Nando has moved dancefloors everywhere from Ibiza to NYC to the BPM Festival in Mexico. Although his sound is mainly comprised of non-commercial house and techno - whether the occasion calls for deep, pumping, melodic, percussive, funky, or techy grooves - Nando's love for music will never be adequately described in just a few words. ------------------------------------------------- Hooked is a monthly radio show hosted by Sarah Myers featuring 2 hours of the deepest underground house & tech, with exclusive guest DJ mixes from artists around the world Subscribe on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hooked-podcast-sarah-myers/id597282889 RADIO BROADCAST SCHEDULE De Radio - every 1st Friday, 18:00 - 20:00 GMT -8 (9:00PM - 11:00PM EST) tunein.com/radio/DE-Radioca-s167914/ Tunnel FM - every 1st Saturday, 17:00 - 19:00 GMT (12:00PM - 2:00PM EST) tunein.com/radio/Tunnel-FM-s157383/
