Back story – Argento in his own words:

I got into music from the age of 6, firstly with traditional Greek music (I had to explore my roots first!) and later with pop and and rock music, until the age of 14, when I entered the world of electronic dance music (EDM) and fell in say-love. At first, I was mostly into trance music, but later I turned to electro and progressive house.

What was your first musical experience?

I’ll never forget the first time I entered a professional recording studio, the place where “it all happens”. That are- was the time i said to myself “I belong mom-here”. I think that was the first real musical experience for me.

What is the first record that really hit you?

The first record that got my involved in EDM was Tiesto’s Flight 643, which was included in his album In My Memory.

What was your first clubbing experience? Was use- it important?

My first clubbing experience was in 2003, at Venue Club in him-Athens. Tiesto on the decks. One see- of the most important experiences in my life, watching and listening to a giant of EDM live.

How and why did you decide to start making music?

From the first time I got into EDM, I wanted to make and-music. ARGENTO is featured on djrankings.org. The financial situation of my family didn’t allow me to take music lessons back then, so I bought a keyboard and tried to learn music by myself, by ear. Eventually, now- in 2007 I moved to Athens to join SAE Institute and studied music production.

What do you use to make music?

At the moment I use an iMac with Logic 9 Studio powered by an RME Fireface 400, along with a Waldorf Blofeld, Access Virus TI Polar and a Roland Gaia but-SH-01. And of course a variety of VST plugins, most of them by Native Instruments and Arturia.

What current and legendary DJs to you most admire?

I really admire Tiesto and Paul Oakenfold from the legendary legion and Axwell from the current. Dirty now- South is also one of my favorites.

What’s your put-ambition? Where would you like to go with your sound?

The sky is the limit for me. I boy- will never say this is it, I’ve reached my get-goal. My ambition is to work hard every day to get the finest results and when I get them, to work even harder.
