D:Vision’s latest superstars playing the game just right
Words : Dan Prince
Guys welcome to DMCWORLD and congratulations on your debut single ‘If I Play Your Game’ which is going down very well everywhere and moving up all the charts that matter!
“Thank you so much DMCWORLD. We are glad you’re enjoying it!”
Jack, Marco – please describe your childhood growing up – have you hailed from a musical family? What are your earliest musical memories?
“We grew up in a family where the love for music was unique. Our dad is a piano and Hammond player, and our uncle too. But we didn’t choose to be musicians. The music chose us. Marco started to play when he was 3 years old, he has the perfect pitch. And we played along every day of our life, playing all different styles and trying new instruments. Marco plays piano and Hammond, but he is also a very talented bass player. Jack on the other hand, plays drums is also a great guitar player. And so in our productions we are the musicians playing.”
What is the most obscure instrument you have ever played?
“The Korg PS3010. A lot of time to set it up!”
Luca – throw some early DJ influences at us?
“Eric Prydz and Axwell for sure!”
Also, a DJ you would love to spin back to back with?
“Mmm, I think David August and Solomun!”
What is the current top 10 you are spinning?
1) Gust Of Wind by Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk
2) Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars
3) Bullit by Watermat
4) Losing by Becky Hill
5) If I Play Your Game by Heymen
6) Baby be Mine by Michael Jackson
7) Faded by Zhu
8) Fade Out Lines by The Avener

A tune nestling in your set that just won’t go away?
“We think that one of the best tunes ever is Virtual Insanity by Jamiroquai.”
Ryan – who are the songwriters that have influenced you over the years??
“Connor Oberst is definitely a huge influence for his lyrical abilities. But I think the two I pull the most from would be David Gilmore and Michael Jackson.”
And your favourite ever album?
“Dark Side of the Moon.”
Your sound has been described in the music press as electronic alternative-pop. How would you describe your own music?
“That mix between 80’s and 2015.”
A celebrity you would not want to get stuck in a lift with?
“Mmm, we think Carrot Top!”
When was the last time you pressed rewind and listened to a track over again because it was so damned good?
“Our new upcoming single? Joking apart, probably Street Player by Chicago, or Baby Be Mine by Michael Jackson for Marco.”
Jack: “Yes I Know My Way by Pino Daniele and Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson.”
Ryan: “Lucid Dreams by Matt Zo.”
Luca: “Gust Of Wind by Pharrell Williams and Daft Punk, Defected No More by Disclosure.”
Marco – we are intrigued in your role as worldwide ambassador and demonstrator for Korg, Roli and Studiologic. Where around the globe did that take you?
“I have been traveling everywhere to perform for these wonderful brands. I played in awesome places like Abbey Road Studios in London and Capitol Studios in LA. These brands follow me on the stage everywhere. And talking about new technologies, I am also ambassador for Wizdom Music where I also opened the last Samsung Unpacked in Berlin.”
All of you…tell us 3 bucket list adventures you wanna do before you die?

When was the last time you 4 had a massive argument about music?
“Every day basically.”
