Introducing Chico Rose, the talented DJ and producer hailing from the Netherlands. Known for his infectious beats and high-energy performances, Chico has been making waves in the electronic music scene with his unique sound.
Recently, Chico started his own record label, Story Starters Records, and released his latest track “TIKI TIKI” under the label. We had the opportunity to catch up with Chico and talk to him about his new venture and the creative process behind “TIKI TIKI”. Join us as we dive into the mind of Chico Rose and discover the story behind his music.
HMWL: Your latest release “TIKI TIKI” is out now on your own label, Story Starters Records. Can you tell us more about the creative process behind the track and the inspiration behind the name?
Chico Rose: The song started when I was scrolling in my samples and I heard the sample ‘’TIKI TIKI’’. I was sold. I started to build around this and adding all the drums until I finished the song. The slowing down part in the 2ndbreak really works with the crowd as well.
HMWL: What is the biggest challenge you face as a DJ and producer, and how do you overcome it?
Chico Rose: I don’t think there is a challenge with anything if you do something you love to do. I started dj’ing and making music because I love it. I would say the biggest challenge for me is to stop making music and go to bed.
