DJANEMAG: Can you tell about yourself? How did you start a work in the club? How long do you personally work out there? What are your responsibilities?

 

Paolo Pastore: Hi. I'm Paolo Pastore, owner & founder of Riobo Fashion Club, in Gallipoli. Thanks for your interest. We started our business more than 20 years ago. We have understood the potential of Salento, for its tourism and its magnific location. So, we have decided to accept this challenge: to create a new sofisticated form of musical enterteinment dedicated to young people and adults.

 

 

DJANEMAG: When was the club opened? What is the story of club`s name? What is the capacity, politic of club, price?

 

Paolo Pastore: The club is opened since 1986, when my mother has bought a characteristic masseria, a typical rural house in Salento. We decided to call it Riobo, like the happy place narrated in the homonymous poem of the italian poet Aldo Palazzeschi. We dreamt a place where people can enjoy the best music that they have ever heard. We realize this dream with the collaboration and the hard work of all Pastore Family.

 

 

DJANEMAG: What are the hallmarks of your club that distinguish you from other clubs in your city and in your country? 

 

Paolo Pastore: Our hallmarks are exclusivity, passion for work, selection of music and enterteinment and high quality of all services. Riobo is a synonym of pure fun and enjoyment.

 

 

DJANEMAG: Does your club work in one musical style, which one and why? Does the style of music depend on the party or on the day of the week? 

 

Paolo Pastore: We follow the musical trends and organize DJ Sets with different kind of music in two dance floors, on two different levels. We organize also burlesque ballet and shows with acrobats.

 

 

DJANEMAG: What are the main differences between a Female DJ performs on the stage and a male DJ? 

 

Paolo Pastore: There aren't any particular differences. The performs depend on the DJs and their technical skill, not from their gender.

 

 

DJANEMAG: By what principle do you choose DJs to perform at your club?

Paolo Pastore: No, at the moment we haven't resident female DJs, just male residents like Savi Vincenti, Mino Burlesq and Leonardo De Paolis.

 

 

DJANEMAG: Do you have favourite club in the world, which work you try to copy or do you create an individual club style with its own specifics?

DJANEMAG:  Which of the female DJs do you consider the best in the world and who would you like to see djing in your club?
