EG: Are you preparing a new material for the next months that we have to be aware of? EG: Recently you received an award in Buenos Aires. What was the reason for the award and what does it mean to you? Hernan Cattaneo: The legislature of Buenos Aires gave me the award of the distinguished personality of culture, something that surprised me because they had never done something like this before, and of course it makes me feel happy and honored.
I believe it is a very important award for all the Argentinian Djs. It was inspiring for you? Have you thought on doing it in other countries? Hernan Cattaneo: That was another great surprise. We wanted to show to the Argentinian audience that is not familiarized with the electronic music and full of prejudice that we have quality in our world. We believed that presenting a proper show of classics and contemporaries with symphonic arrangements for an orchestra of 50 musicians in a proper opera room was a very good way to show them other perspectives.
We were convinced that it could work, but of course, we never expected such a success. It turned into immediate sold-outs, and a free outdoor show for This was the same case as the award, the thing that made me most happy was to see the electronic music being recognized and celebrated for so many people and on the front cover of every Argentinian newspaper.

EG: Southamerica is full of talent, experimented and new. Do you see a noticeable difference between the Southamerican scene in contrast with the rest of the world? Hernan Cattaneo: Southamerica, as we all know, is still part of the third world in many aspects and we are far away from the possibilities of other Djs and producers around the world.
Everything here is more difficult, expensive and without support. However, we Latin people have a strong passion which makes up for what it lacks, and we always give an extra that helps to go through the hard times.
There is an important number of talents being developed in every music genre, and the results are more noticeable.
Have you ever went through those difficult phases? What advice would you give to those who are going through a hard time? Hernan Cattaneo: Luckily I have never experienced something like that, and I believe that it is directly related to the people around you.
I have the most valuable thing in the world: a family, my wife, my daughters are my main motivation to be good, take care of myself and my happiness. I believe that a long and successful career is based on 4 foundations: talent, a lot of work, being surrounded by good people and be lucky in special moments.
EG: After have traveled around the world, which one would be one of your favorite places to eat? Hernan Cattaneo: I love to eat, it is my biggest pleasure and addiction. Japanese, Greek, Italian and of course, Argentinian food. Hernan Cattaneo: Hardest thing? I have a dreamy family, I travel the world, meet people, visit incredible places and I received the karma of bringing happiness every weekend. There is no reason to complain.
Cattaneo is a pioneer in bringing the unknown sounds of Chicago and Detroit to Buenos Aires. Although he gained support from major international artists such as Sasha and John Digweed in the early s, he has since carved his own path in music. Playing alongside a piece orchestra directed by Gerardo Gardelin, Hernan Cattaneo brought electronic music to the legendary Teatro Colon in Buenos Aires for four nights.
Now, El Maestro is ready to bring his magic touch for another memorable night in the District. Flash stands firmly against non-consensual behavior, discrimination, harassment or harm of any kind.
