It’s a Romanian riot! Well, Google says “Italian”…!?!

Weird, even freaky I might say, is Google’s reaction to what I’ve just put into the translator. The text is a written piece containing the interviews of two of the Romania’s most celebrated and respected house music pioneers: Rosario Internullo and Ali Nasser. The occasion for the interviews is their guest performances at “Technicolour: Cinematographic House Music” on Friday the 20th at Egg. Remember Romania?!? That little bit of country on the Eastern side of town, the one being affectionately named by some as the “the new Ibiza”? It’s quite a name they’ll have to live up to…but we can consider they’re on quite a good path right now. The [ar:pi:ar] crew (Raresh-Pedro-Rhadoo) together with Livio & Roby or Mihai Popovicioiu are only the most resounding names from the Romanian scene, that even when in London or Berlin get a lot of love! Must be the looks…:)As you’d expect the text is written in fully flavored Romanian. But Google detects “Italian”. Google may not be that far off…

Now, Rosario Internullo and Ali Nasser are coming from the same Romanian house and techno upbringing, but most interestingly is the fact that neither of them was actually born there!
Rosario Internullo is originally from Sicily relocating to Romania at the end of the 90’s and Ali Nasser moved to Romania when he was only eight years old from U.E.A. Google must be keeping up with the RA feed then.

Looking at their achievements and influence, Rosario and Ali are the Romanian definition of a house music pioneer and a young prodigy respectively. Established in Romania in the late '90s, Rosario quickly climbed with dedication and passion on the barricades of what was at then a young Romanian electronic music revolution. Alongside djs like Jay Bliss, Pagal, DJ Vasile, Raoul, Livio, Rhadoo, Rosario Internullo was playing the new mutant sound called house, a sound that Romania had very few ideas for or comparison.
Ali Nasser is a name that is increasingly being sought after on line-ups in both Romania and the international house connoisseur circles. With quality releases and remixes for Audiofly’s Supernature, BeCosen or Derivat Recs, Ali Nasser makes deep, spaced out house, the core of Romanian underground electronic music. He’s part of the Sunrise family and very good friends of the [ar:pi:ar] lads, and also one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.




Playing the massive Sunwaves festivals on the Romanian seaside almost every year since 2003, Ali has been colaborating and sharing with Rhadoo, Petre Inspirescu & Raresh [ar:pi:ar], Audiofly, Nick Curly or Dj Sneak.
Technicolour is Rosario Internullo and Ali Nasser's their next destination and for the occasion we sat down with both asking more about who, what, how, where and when? Interviews to follow this afternoon! Watch this space!
