DJ Alezzaro Trance Passion

Alezzaro

The birth of Techno & Trance in the early 90’s was the beginning.

Alezzaro has loved Trance music ever since and he still does.

Alezzaro is Resident DJ and Mastermind of this internationally known club-event and played with famous acts like Ace Ventura, Liquid Soul,  1200 Microgramms and many more.

He describes his music style as spherical, emotional, melodical, psychedelic, sunny, sexy, powerful, and pumpin’ – no dark, no minimal!

Alezzaro loves to play long sets and he always knows how to select the right track at the right time to get a real good party going for a happy, enthusiastic crowd.

A satisfied audience is his greatest goal when he is mixing music behind the decks.

Alezzaro played gigs in Austrian and German clubs, as well as on various open air festivals all over Europe.

He recorded an internet radio session on the Vienna based Internetradiostation and audio-archive, where he was NO.1 in the categories DJ Mix (Psytrance, Progressive Trance and Progressive Psytrance - September 2010).

His full name is Friedl Matschnig and he was born in Mai 1976 and his current home base is Vienna where he was born.

What is your connection to Koh Phangan?
As I was playing last year at the Universo Parallelo, Brazil, I wanted to travel to the other side of the world in 2013.
To make this wish come true, I got in contact with Jao and sent him one of my dj-mixes. And YES, he liked it and HERE I AM :)

You played on Half Moon on the 16th of Feb. How did you like it?
I really enjoyed the crazy and amazing atmosphere and I totally loved to play into the sunrise.

DJ Alezzaro also played one night at Ban sabaii Feb. 24!

Which music did you bring in your record bag for Phangan?
Progressive psytrance as usual and the latest unreleased stuff of IONO, which is also the label which I am playing for

Is it different from what you would play around your home base?
No – because my style has been working in every country.

For him it is such an amazing feeling to make the people on a dancefloor smile and see how happy you can make them with music, he says.

Do you find Koh Phangan to a good place for your music?
Yes it is a perfect place – it is really such a beautiful relaxing atmosphere in the middle of paradise.

I defiantly see myself back on Phangan for more gigs - Oh YES :)

What is Progressive Selection?
It is my club event, where I book the „creme de la creme“ of the progressive artists world wide.

He is currently working on a V.A. Compilation released on IONO Music for the 5th birthday of the Progressive Selection.
Also another side project gets his attention;“off the hook“ at the Club Grelle Forelle (Thursday party – from Techhouse to Progressive to Psytrance)
His hope is to make the Progressive Selection more international and bring the idea to other European countries.
- otherwise he is a simple man of simple hopes and dreams. To stay healthy, marry his girlfriend and make a family!

I am so satisfied with my life that I dont want to change anything!
I am really happy with what I already have achieved in my life, he says.

His Mother would agree in his achievements he believes. She is proud of him and his ways, he hopes! She would wish to have fun and take care.

Before we finish the interview we ask him about his general life philosophy and he asnwers, again simple and sweet;
"Always smile and try to be positive!"

Thank you for your positive vibes and trance! Hope we will see more of you on Phangan! Good Luck further!
