Uruguayan house with Paniik
<h6>Tell us something more about you in general</h6>
<p>My name is Thiago Ostoic, im from Uruguay. I have been working under the alias of <a href="https://soundcloud.com/im-paniik">Paniik</a> for 2 years, when I started to get interested in the deep house sound, but then I was strongly attracted by dub sounds, minimal and sampled material, now my tracks have ambients where I want to take the listener to certain situation or some feeling.</p>
<h6>When did music become a great part of your life?</h6>
<p>It's hard to answer, music was always an important part of my life; but when I was around 15 years old I started to feel interested in creating my own sounds and trying to do what I wanted to hear.<br />
At first they were boombap beats with jazz and funk samples but I wanted to go a little further and start creating my compositions on house rhythms and breaks.</p>
<h6>What equipment or software do you use for production?</h6>
<p>Most of my tracks have organic samples which I record with a portable recorder, in software I work with Reason and I use a small pad. The sounds are designed in the vcv rack, a great open source tool.<br />
Sometimes take samples of funk, disco and bossanova vinyls that i listen in a old vinyl player i have.</p>

<h6>What about your latest track <a href="https://soundcloud.com/welofi/paniik-ur-love-is">Ur Love Is</a>?</h6>
<p>It performs the result of finding a raw sound and trying to return a few years ago. The track itself speaks of "your love" for a person, this can be interpreted in many ways, since the melody is becoming something nostalgic or melancholic. This causes the listener to have several ways of interpreting and feeling it.</p>

<h6>What you can say about the Uruguayan music scene in general? It's very interesting get to know about it</h6>
<p>In Uruguay the local scene is very varied and its growth has been constant since 2000.<br />
Currently it is a solid culture full of interesting material, recently began to introduce the lofi in events and productions but mainly listen to house and techno.<br />
Some years ago it also expanded outside the capital, having parties and raves in different parts of the country.<br />
Some of the most outstanding and quality producers are the recent Error 909, Pulse who had <a href="https://soundcloud.com/baltra">Baltra</a> playing on a local radio, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/raverosuy">Raveros</a> known for having organized some of the most popular raves, <a href="https://soundcloud.com/phonotheque">Phonotheque</a> with shows of international artists and Orbitar a local project focused on livesets.</p>
