Why EuroDance music is not popular anymore!?

Radio is a phenomenon and must be treated with respect. Radio is like a virus, you catch it, u can’t treat it or find a cure.
It’s feeling you can’t describe. It’s interesting how with a mic u can talk to all the people and listen to what you playing.
But i found a man infected with this virus, we talked about music, and here is the result:

EurodanceBlog: Hello! How did you start to work as a DJ at RadiOK?
John Cristea : Well , not for a long time. I’ve been speaking at this radio’s mic for only 1 year. I was born with them 

EurodanceBlog: What kind of music does Radio K romote?
John Cristea : We play only hit music from 80’s, 90’s & today’s , adult contemporary. I can say it’s the same genre Europa FM plays.

EurodanceBlog: What is your opinion about eurodance music?
John Cristea : If you want a true answer... Well I really like it, has easy to remember choruses, it is nice and it’s a music that everyone listens to.

EurodanceBlog: This genre is not anymore on top?? Tell me your personal opinion...
John Cristea: No, nowadays styles of music change overnight. Today one style is popular, and tomorrow another is... You must keep connected to all the current styles to remain on top.... if you don’t, you will be forgotten.

EurodanceBlog: On radio is played the music from top 40 ?
John Cristea: It’s not like that a song can be on top 100. If the song has no impact, we don’t play it. It’s about that.... Music is like fashion, every year it changes and brings something new ... and music is like that... if we are not interested in it, we don’t play it.

EurodanceBlog: Why do European radios promote English & American music, while American and British radios only play their artists songs ?
John Cristea: It’s a matter of egoism. They prefer their music. European music is a intruder to them, which has little chances to be heard there.

EurodanceBlog: But how comes many female vocalists such as Melanie Thornton, Helena Paparizou, Anita Doth, Petra Marklund, Alexia to name a few, girls with a potential, are still unknown however...
John Cristea: Music industry is like a market. Today you are on top, and tomorrow you are unknown. The managers are responsible for this.
Having a voice and being able to compete with other artists is not enough, if u are in top it’s ok ... if not ... you’re not promoted

EurodanceBlog: But isn’t it radio’s fault if a song is not on top, even if artists launched new material!?
John Cristea: Yes you’re right but think about it : if the song has not that special feeling what shall we do ? We might lose our listeners... we promote what is promotable, and we also play the music our listeners chose.
I will repeat myself if the song doesn’t have that feeling we won’t play it, but our listeners also have their word to say in the choice of music we are playin here.

EurodanceBlog: When can we hear you ?
John Cristea: Every weekend from 11:00 till 16:00 cet I’m here on RadiOK, talkin and playin music on a radio show called The Bank Hits!!
You Can discover him on RadiOK
Also you can visit his blog

Special thanx to Karine Sanche

Alexia Interview @ TG Com



You remember from dance periode with "Me and You" “Ti amo ti amo’ or “Dimmi come’’
Now is back with a new look and new style of music rock.
TGCom: What a look! New cut and blond hair on the threshold of 41 years. Typically when women cut their hair ...
Alexia: Or have been left or are depressed! (laughs, editor's note)
TGCom:But what happened?
Alexia: I had found a new desire to do after 4 years of silence also due to maternity, beautiful period of my life, felt to have a gear. I began to wrote the songs from the new album that’s why this new look.

TGCom: Have you started from the disc, you have won Sanremo with the soul and rnb and now the rock. Why?
Alexia : I want to sing things' earthly 'toughest also conceptually. Only a different music could allow me to sing what they tried, even my voice has changed: it is deeper. ". I had tried in the past to speak as I wanted, but the result was only "Egoista." With the rnb is difficult to take certain compositional fields.

TGCom: "Summer" has a nostalgic, talk with your man of feelings. How did this song?
Alexia : It 'always been a season that has brought me much luck, I usually I was always immersed in the promotion or around concerts at the expense of my private life. The summer for me has always something melancholy, I have realized when I had time to myself and in August went to sea as everyone else.


TGCom: And how you spent the summers from 'free woman'?
Alexia: I have read so much, I went often to the cinema. I traveled a lot.

TGCom: What is the journey that you gave more emotions?
Alexia: In the south of France. There is a very beautiful area where there is the cult of the Black Madonna.. During the procession comes out of the Madonna and around us there are many horses and even gypsies. There is a crazy atmosphere. I was excited and also amazed.
TGCom: In your disc is a dedication to your dad, in the song "My father."?
Alexia: I was in a beach in Liguria. At some point I sensed a strong odor. It seemed the smell of his skin rubbed with oil tanning. I have come to mind many memories that I noted in my calendar Moleskine, where I wrote all the songs of my disk.
TGCom: "A moment nell'infinito" is produced by the Mara Maionchi,.? How do you meet her?
Alexia: The song is also written by Alberto Salerno, her husband. I know Mara from a life and between us there is a very close feeling, almost like mother and daughter.

TGCom: You have a daughter, 1 years old, Maria Victoria. You've already seen that has a sense of rhythm and music like you?
Alexia: I think that has this talent because I was around to sing even pregnant (laughs, editor's note)!
TGCom: You take Maria with you on tour?
Alexia: No, I leave her at home in his environment. I believe that when they are so small that it is right to remain in a familiar and relaxing.
TGCom: How Alexia lives today?
Alexia: In the past, my ambition has brought me not to ever stop. My life has suffered. Today I have my daughter, the family closely and, as always, music.. I am a dreamer, I still feel that my small art can placate fears and anxieties.
