A talented DJ/producer from Italy, Pirupa has recently separated himself from the pack of successful producers by topping beatport’s charts with his last releases. Now with two of the most downloaded tracks on Beatport ‘Sweet Devil’ in 2009 , ‘Get Funky’ in 2010 and ‘Party Non Stop’ in 2012, the sky’s the limit for this relentless talent from the small peninsula.
Having signed to renowned dance record labels like Drumcode, Crosstown Rebels, Desolat, Intec Digital, Get Physical, Defected, among others he’s next on Non Stop Records with ‘Sunday Morning’ EP.
In this special ocassion we asked him to choose some of his most inspirational tracks ever. Here’s his Top 10:

“My all time favorite track! Still playing it at the end of my sets!”
2. Goldtrix feat Andrea Brown – It’s Love (Trippin)
“One of my first records I bought in my DJ career. I’m still totally on love with this track, with the vocal and the techno chord! A lot of inspiration for my darker side of DJing and Production. Magic Tune!”

“The best funky tune ever! Still evergreen with that aggressive funky / raw bassline and crazy synth like a siren! Amazing!”
