Here's our quick interview with Ranno - Enjoy!
Tell us who you are.
I'm a 26 year old DJ, producer and label owner, born and raised in a wildly beautiful country called Romania, located in eastern Europe. I love music that inspires, I'm fascinated by the universe, I go skying every year, try to work-out weekly and I love dogs.
How did you get into what you do?
I guess you could say the usual way most of us do. Young kid steps into a club, loves the music, the light show, the soundsystem, the poeple, the atmosphere. Gets introduced to the resident DJ, starts learning the trade and quickly becomes addicted to the lifestyle, wants to be better, starts production then opens up his own label.
Name your friends call you.
