First, thank you so much for taking the time for this interview! How’ve you been so far?

It’s an honor! Been keeping up with this series for a while now and I’m grateful I get to be on one of these. I’ve been great just staying busy with work and finishing music.

What kind of adventure can listeners expect from this mix?

A heavily melodic mix for the most part, a lot of my favorite wave tunes as well as original and unreleased music from myself.

Tell us the origins of the rvnti project. What’s the meaning behind the name and how did it all come about?

It’s quite random how the name came up, but basically my last name is rantisi and in university one of my best friends would always call me ranti, so when I decided to start putting music out my instinct went with that name for some reason. My young self really liked the trend of playing with letters back then and I switched the ‘a’ to a ‘v’, although I grew from that phase I just stuck with the name as it still feels personal to me and my music. 

I’m very inspired by film and more so by the idea of storytelling with music.

Your style is truly cinematic and eclectic to the highest degree. Tell us, are you heavily inspired by film or their scores?

I am happy you noticed that element! I’m very inspired by film and more so by the idea of storytelling with music. I always find myself inspired by artists that can articulate a certain feeling with their art that is relatable to life experiences.

When it comes to your craft, were you self-taught or did you have any guidance from friends in the beginning stages?

Yes I was self-taught. Everything I learned was through watching YouTube videos and just experimenting in the daw obsessively.

What kind of music did you grow up with and did those interests impact your style today?

Definitely, I grew up listening to a lot of melodic house and trance. I was very involved in soccer as a kid so I would always listen to trance on the way to a big game and it would get me excited and calms my nerves. 

I have a collection of music that I would love to put out as an EP in the near future once all the things I planned for this year are over!

Your singles have been such treats for many within the underground. Any plans on creating an EP in the future?

I definitely have thought about that, I have a collection of music that I would love to put out as an EP in the near future once all the things I planned for this year are over!

The wave scene continues to grow and grow with every given second. Where do you see the environment heading in a couple of years?

I am so happy to see how the wave scene has grown the past few years. Seeing skeler, brothel and barnacle boi go on tour in the United States is so inspiring and a sign that the people are learning more about the genre. Many acts are going to start getting the love they deserve because the amount of talent coming from the underground scene right now is so amazing , and I am grateful I get to experience it.

Outside the music spectrum, are there any other interests you currently have a passion for that inspire your art?

Other than music, I have been focused on exercising and taking care of my body and it’s impacting my life in a very positive way not just physically but also mentally and artistically.

I feel like I found my home as an artist in the wave scene and hope to expose more people to the beauty of the scene and the genre.

Where do you see the rvnti project in a few years?

I have a lot of passion for this project and want to showcase my art and experiences with the world. I definitely have big plans and want to continue expanding my soundscapes and skill sets. I feel like I found my home as an artist in the wave scene and hope to expose more people to the beauty of the scene and the genre.

Are there any artists you’ve been admiring that deserve to be recognized?

Honestly, there are so many inspiring artists out there that deserve so much more love, I have been admiring sublab, altare, bafu, and yerbby to name a few.

A lot of my favorite music and collabs will be coming out this year and I can’t wait for you to hear it. 

Any final words you’d like to share to our listeners out there?

A lot of my favorite music and collabs will be coming out this year and I can’t wait for you to hear it.  Hope you enjoy the mix, and thank you so much for this opportunity. It actually feels surreal to speak with you and I look forward to connecting with you again soon!
