Tomas Drex PODCAST 015 - guestmix by Norman Andretti AKA Quarill

Info about Norman:

My artist name is Norman Andretti AKA Quarill,and I would like to introduce myself as an upcoming Techno producer from Hungary.

My very first experience with decks was when I was about 13 years old. By the time my musical taste was effected mostly by harder club styles which were popular back then, such as Hard-house, Hardcore and of course the compilations of the famous Thunder- and Terrordomes. These were the ones I`ve grown upon. I haven`t got any instrumental background, except a little drum knowledge.

Ever since I can remember I`ve been influenced by Techno music. I`ve started my producing career about 6 years ago, because I felt that I had to make something lasting for the future generations and also wanted to make the Techno scene a bit better by giving something new…so I stared using FL Studio.

My first projects sounded quite amateur but all the advices I was getting by the time, was just enough to keep me going and keep improving. After many years I`ve tried all the most popular music making softwares but I couldn`t find the freedom in them I was looking for, that`s why I sticked to FL.

After many sent e-mails and demos, I managed to get in touch with Mirzinho, owner of the legendary TechArt and Propeller Records. He was the one who gave me the first opportunity to have a release on his label (Norman Andretti – Back to business EP). After that there was no chance to stop. I felt patronized and I think that`s one of the most uplifting feeling of this “job”. In a few months I got in direct contact with all the biggest names of the scene, which I`m really proud of.

Style-wise I would put myself on the edge of funkytechno, hardgroove and percussive disco techno, but as I have to keep up with the trend I listen, play and produce tech-house and minimal as well. I also deputize Hardtechno and Schranz because I just can`t grow out of the headbanging slicer, but I still don`t feel myself skilled enough to start producing this last two.

As a DJ I didn`t have much success in the past, because I didn`t get many chances, but in the future I`m looking forward to rock all the biggest crowds on the planet who`s hungry for my dynamism.
