Cristian Viviano’s Party Playlist
Self-taught musician, Dj and Producer, Cristian Viviano(born in Palermo in 1987), can definitely be qualified as a polyhedric and inspired artist. Listening to his sets, which are involving and full of positive vibes, it is impossible not to notice the strong sense of empathy he feels with the audience.
His passion for music was born in the streets under the influence of funky culture. His personal discovery of musical technology led him towards a strongly tribal influenced, techno and house rhythm, which he achieves by using sequencers, synthesizers and drum machines.
Cristian Viviano has also just released ‘Never Give Up‘ in collaboration with Andrea Morricone through ‘Descending Order‘, and to celebrate the release, Cristian Viviano has compiled a party playlist featuring all of his current favorite records, listen below:
The Ambassadors – Makena (Mark Ernestus Mix) [Nonplace] I usually play this song as a tool and on top of it I used to play a pumping groove alongside it that gives real power to the track. It has a huge effect in a club with a warm crowd and it is really the perfect combination to start sharing the vibes with the dance floor with its funky mood that creates the perfect atmosphere and brings smiling faces all around.
Reelow, Charlotte Debout, KitChuDub – Confiance (LIVE JAM AT THE PINKY BLINDERS STUDIO) [Reecords] I love this track from my friend Renato, this man absolutely rocks as you can hear from his incredible music. I like the fact that he titled the version like that it really lets me feel like I am inside that studio during that jam session. The track lends itself beautifully to bringing that positive vibe to the dance floor with a classy jazzy touch coming from the saxophone riding into a solid and old school pumping groove. So well made!
Saktu – Eye of Detroit [Hossh Records] I really really love this track from my good friend Saktu. I suggest the best time to play this track is when you want to create that hypnotic magic moment during one of those amazing late night sessions. I can imagine in it clearly in my mind, and you can definitely close your eyes and simply start following the natural movement and just enjoy that moment. You should definitely try this one out for sure!
Yulia Niko – Donde Chile feat. Sil Romero [8Bit records] If you want to take your crowd to a vibe that’s let’s say more “Caliente” you really must try this one out. I absolutely love this track from my beloved Yulia and the singer Sil Romero. This track is really something and I feel like I can really connect with is. It’s music that comes from deep within the soul. I’m sure you are going to like this one and I hope that it can work also for you!
Andrea Morricone, Cristian Viviano feat.KidBess – Never Give Up (Joy Kitikonti & Solwings Essential Mix) [Descending Order] This project I made with the maestro Andrea Morricone, son of the legend Ennio. It really means a lot to me, I can’t wait to try this remix we did with my buddy Joy Kitikonti who is an amazing producer, dj and audio engineer, that I respect and have followed for many many years. He is an icon of the Italian techno scene and this version I think must be played during the late night hours in the club or at an open air festival.
Alex Neri, Marco Solforetti – Birdy [Tenax Recordings] This is absolutely one of my secrets that i want to share with you today. This is a class tune from my good friend Alex that drives your set on a “red zone” connection. This track really allows you to feel the music and the passion spreading all over the place. I used to play it often on my sets and I love the atmosphere that this tune can create amongst a crowd. I feel like a “gitano” playing It.
Marcelo Cura – Magiconda [Low Groove Records] Here is one of my favourite tracks that you must try out. This one comes from my friend Marcelo, it’s a Momento Màgico’s edit from the great singer Youn Sun Nah. I was playing this one very often in my own sets at Pacha and Lio Ibiza during the Ibiza Talents parties and people really loved the vibe. If you know the original than you better understand that this is really an amazing edit.
Cristian Viviano feat. NatMor – Creatures of the Night (Viviano’s Terrace Mix) [Descending Order] If you really want to drive the energy of the dancefloor to a much higher level then you 100% should try this one out. I made this version thinking about the iconic terrace of Amnesia Ibiza at 7am in the morning. I was testing this one out personally on some good dance floors and this version I made definitely works. It has also been amazing to have many djs playing this one out.
Roberto Surace – The Power [Ibiza Talents] I don’t think anybody really knows this track from my friend Roberto that he gave to us a couple of years ago for our label Ibiza Talents. Every time I play this track people really enjoy it so much and they really love the drops and the spoken word lyrics that say “God has giving us experience of power and love, it’s belongs to all of us, it’s a musical thing!”… Oh I love the message, you should try out!
Boo Williams – Summer Love [Goldmin Music] ‘Summer Love’ is a great tune from the master DJ and producer Boo Williams. A rare Chicago old school rhythm with lovely melodies on top that creates a frequency of love and you can simply watch it on people faces, they become more relaxed and happy. That’s how I fell in love of this Boo’s song! I used to play in many different places and during some Ibiza’s sunset party is the best!
