Davide Dev

1. Introduce Yourself to the Casawi Community: What drives you? What's your artistic vision, and what sets you apart from the crowd?

This is Davide, but to everyone, I'm Dev. I'm fascinated by the retro-chic vibe of late 90s French house, and I aim to bring that same energy back to listeners

2. City Inspirations: How has your city influenced your artistic path? Share how its streets, culture, and energy have molded your work.

Milan has changed a lot since I first arrived 10 years ago, but it remains a constant source of inspiration. When I'm in the studio creating, I always think about how the clubs here would react to my tracks.

3. Creative Process: What fuels your creativity? Whether it's a ritual, a muse, or a moment of clarity, we're keen to learn.

Everything starts with the samples, the flangers, and the 909. The fuel comes from the nostalgia of MTV, early Daft Punk, Japanese animation, Cowboy Bebop, and the refined creative vision that defined that era.

4. City Lifestyle and Art: How the places you lived influenced your career and work?

Every place I’ve lived and visited has played a role, whether big or small. My small hometown showed me to empathize with people, while Milan guided me to believe more in my own tastes and projects.

5. Latest or Upcoming Projects: Give us a glimpse into your current endeavors and what lies ahead on your creative journey.

I put out my first EP on vinyl, almost like a statement piece, to give people a taste of my musical and artistic vision. Now, I’m looking for a faster approach that resonates with today’s world. I want to release tracks and play them in my live sets.
By the way, there's something big in the works that I can’t reveal just yet, but you’ll be the first to know!
