VIRGINIA VILLARI PRESENTS MUSIC ON THE GO
MUSIC
ON THE GO
Virginia Villari catches up with Barcelona-based duo Audiofly — Luca and Anthony — on airports, mozzarella paninis, Tulum when it was still wild, and the rituals of the nomadic DJ life.
V: Where were you before this interview? Where are you now, and where next?
Just arrived back in our home Barcelona from a Flying Circus show in New York... and this Friday we head off to Marrakech.
Zurich, Venice, Dubai.
V: Your airport dress code?
Cool but comfortable — it's all about feeling like you're in your pyjamas but ready for anything!
Comfortable but always with a certain style.
V: Sleep or movie when flying?
Seen everything and I just can't sleep!!
I do both.
V: Preferred airline?
I love Emirates but that only works in certain directions... kind of regional.
Air France or Turkish.
"I like to pretend the mozzarella is from Italy everywhere I go,
rather than face the uncomfortable truth about it." click to add one more · there's almost a book in there somewhere
V: Do you listen to music when you travel?
Anything other than dance music — from Abdul Mogard to John or Alice Coltrane, Ann Peebles to D'Angelo. I'm all about getting inspiration from everywhere else.
Yes — a selection of music I will play later at the show.
"We have definitely left the golden age of air travel. An airport has become one giant shop."
V: Your jet lag remedy?
I have no body clock left after so many years of this. I sleep when I can and am grateful for however long it was. Also yoga and meditation, depending on how hellish the jet lag is.
A good sleep as soon as I land.
V: A place you've never been and can't wait to go?
New Zealand, Madagascar, Cambodia... there's a list, actually.
Thailand. Bucket list for 2018.
V: Best part of a travelling lifestyle?
Seeing friends on the road, always seeing new things, touring with my best mate — and probably best of all... coming home!
Meeting a variety of different cultures. It kills any prejudice you might have.
"Tulum, Mexico. We've been there so much, so many times over the years. I remember that beach when it was just you, a stray dog and the pelicans."
"It's changed a lot over the years... but it will always be a go to." — Both of them, independently.
Over the past two decades Audiofly has created three record labels, a successful worldwide brand in Flying Circus, and mastered their own unique sound. Producers, event organisers, performers and successful label owners — driven by pure love and passion for this modern music lifestyle.
Based in Ibiza, they have nurtured artists including Blond:ish, Bedouin and Solomon through the Flying Circus / Supernature community.
