Meet Solarstone and Giuseppe Ottaviani, aka.Pure NRG!
These two forces have a connection of musical minds that deliver unique no-two-experiences-alike-shows. From playing unexpected turns, twists, and thrills that are amazing LIVE, they play spins that you have never heard of before.
I had an amazing time sitting down with the two of them atIlesoniqFestival in Montreal, Quebec to talk about how they got together to create such incredible beats!
Read it down below!
Mix 247 EDM: How did you boys meet and what brought you two together to create a wonderful duo?
Pure NRG:We were both being managed by the same manager and one day we were having cocktails together in Sydney, Australia and we were talking about how one of us performs live and the other doesnt. Then our manager suggested that we should work together! Its funny because we were getting bookings together as a duo but we hadnt made any music yet! But we met up in Rome and started producing in the studio and made our first show!
Mix 247 EDM: As a du0, how many shows have you performed at together ever since your first show?
Pure NRG:We limit ourselves to 10-12 shows a year to keep it special! Its been about three years and weve performed around 30 shows. We do our own shows almost every weekend but as Pure NRG, we only do around 10 shows.
Mix 247 EDM: Since you two only limit yourselves to a certain amount of shows per year, where would you say your favorite festival or performance would be in your entire life?
Giuseppe: Beyond Wonderland is definitely a favorite!
Solarstone: I dont have a favorite! They have all been so great!
Mix 247 EDM: You two just recently played at a festival called Luminosity! Tell us about it! How does it compare to Ilesoniq and other festivals?
Pure NRG:Luminosity is a small festival, focused mainly on trance in the Netherlands that takes place at a beach club. It was very intimate but there was a real sense of a TranceFamily connection and thats why everyone who attends looks forward to it! The weather was pretty terrible the whole time but the sun came out when we played our hit Scarlett!
Mix 247 EDM: Who are your inspirations in music?
Giuseppe: U2 for sure! Muse is also great!
Solarstone: I get inspired by classical music and talk radio! When I say classical music, I dont mean to sound like an asshole because its more like neoclassical and modern stuff on contemporary labels.
Mix 247 EDM: If you had to pick any kind of superpower, what would you choose and why?
Solarstone: X-Ray vision! That way Id get to look at peoples internals!
Giuseppe: I like flying!
