“Music is a very important part of my life, and every day I try to listen to the mixes of foreign artists in search of new, interesting tunes. When traveling I also try to visit clubs and take part in events that take place at my current place of residence. Łódź was once the center of club music.”Łukasz Pietrowski - during the day he manages the profiles of all brands Aflofarm in social media, at night he spawns events in the Lodz club, where dozens of people party. In a brief interview, Lukas told us about how his passion for music and his career as a DJ evolved.
How did you discover the passion for DJing?
The story is quite funny. It all started in elementary school, where I was responsible for the musical setting during school and at the discotheque. It did not have much to do with the actual mixing of music, it was just to press the play and stop buttons on the two CD players so that the songs were flying just behind each other. The proper "DJ" started when I was on holiday between graduation and high school. I was given the birthday gift of the simplest players and mixer, I practiced every day for a few hours. After two months, I got an invitation to one of the Lodz clubs to play a rehearsal. I came, played, and stayed.
Where can we listen to your music now?
I have been a resident of the Łódź Kokoo club since 9 years, it is the only place in Lodz where you can hear me. From time to time I happen to take the invitation from DJs from other cities and make guest appearances. Recently I played and organized a party on the terrace at the Hotel Andel's in Lodz. Organizing events is my another passion.
Do you often come up to work after sleepless nights?
Next question please :)
Where do you find inspiration?
Music is a very important part of my life. Every day I try to listen to mixes of foreign artists in search of new, interesting sounds. When traveling I also try to visit clubs and take part in events that take place at my current place of residence. Łódź was once the center of club music.
How did the events change compared to the time you started playing?
If I have to be honest, the present events from those 9-10 years ago share the abyss. The club culture that existed at the time I started my adventure does not exist today. Ten years ago, people were going to the club full of curiosity about what tonight's DJs would serve them and make fun of each other. Today, due to the huge commercialization and availability of music on the web, the events look different. Participants want to hear the familiar songs they hear every day from their radio.
In Aflofarm you also have an interesting function ... What is the job as Social Media Ninja?
I am responsible for the profiles and communication of Aflofarm brands in social media (Facebook, Instagram, Youtube). It is an interesting job with broad perspectives and possibilities.
