34 year old Italian DJ and Producer Mario Piu has been largely responsible for Italy's electronic music evolution. Part techno, part progressive, part house, Mario has enjoyed enormous success with 'Mas Experience', 'No Name', 'Dedicated', 'Sexy Rhythm' and 'The Vision.'

On the eve of Mario's Two Tribes performance Tranzfusion catches up with Mario for a little q&a.

What do you like most about being a DJ-
To go round new places and meet new people that love the music.

What is the worst thing about being a DJ-
The worst thing is that I have never time for my family and my hobbies.

What was the first track you ever bought-
I don't remember… I have bought many and many tracks. I used to spend all my money for the music… Maybe the first was the first album of Depeche Mode.

What's the most played track in your collection-
DJ Rolando "The knight of the Jaguar"

What track you never want to hear again-
Every music that I don't like...

Who are your favourite DJs-
Sven Vath, Paul Van Dyke and many more... there are many DJs good.

If you weren't a DJ what would you be doing-
I have studied for accountancy so maybe the accountant.

Your favourite country or city to DJ in-
South America and every new place where I can find new people that like my music.

If you had to come back as an animal what one would it be and why-
The Eagle, because it's an animal that can see everything from high up in the sky.

If you had one wish it would be-
I wish that my daughter Ginevra grow up good.
