KT: Any fellow artists you’re looking forward to seeing on the cruise?Į: Yeah, one of my buddies Dave Summit is on the cruise. And the boat rocks so it’s a bit easier to pass outĮ: Yeah, my girlfriend gets a little seasick but the boat ticking just leads me to sleep I have a set tomorrow morning at 2 AM at the Casino and maybe some Renegade sets too so Groove Cruise is going great and I am excited by man, I am taking advantage of those catnaps whenever I can squeeze them in. And we basically have two-and-half more days of the cruise so pacing myself a lot. It’s day three and I’ve done EDC twice and here the morning of day three I’m already exhausted. KT: How is your Groove Cruise going so far?Į: I’m hanging in there, it’s definitely everyone’s mantra is ‘it’s a marathon, not a sprint’ and that is so true. I got to test some new originals too so a success. There was this one person in particular who was giving me the best energy the entire time, he was smiling ear-to-ear.
Kateryna Topol: How was your set, how are you feeling after it?Įkonovah: I feel great, my first set in Cabo was a success.
During our chat, we dove into his process, influences, and different ways he test-drives his music. Sitting across the table Scotti carries himself with humble and caring energy, just going with the flow, which seems to be his general vibe. After the set, we set down at the back of an empty restaurant for a chat accompanied by his manager Jason Euler. Shaded under the palapas roof from the warm Mexican sun Stephen Scotti enthusiastically kick-started this party, matching and elevating the mood of the crowd. The day party boat docked at ME Cabo a little late but just in time for Ekonovah’s opening set. Quip had an opportunity to catch up with Scotti at Groove Cruise Cabo. So far in his young career, Ekonovah has released a handful of impressive EPs, Between The Lines being the latest, in addition to a healthy package of remixes and singles. The name is a misspelling of ‘Echo’ which means ‘sound’ in Latin and ‘nova’ which means ‘new’ and that new sound is precisely what he has been searching for. In spite of the global slow down Stephen Scotti (his given name) recently played to the audiences of major festivals like EDC Las Vegas and Bonnaroo. Arizona-based rising electronic producer Ekonovah is one to watch.
