Following in his father's footsteps,he cultivated his passion for music since childhood finding his own musical roots in the piano study and later in both the world of DJing and in the music production.

The continuous and obsessed music research and the discovery of analog instruments such as drum machines, samplers and synthesizers keyboard lead him over the years to outline a real style that moves between Detroit-Techno latitudes and Future Jazz longitudes.

In 2014 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the Link Club of Bologna, Mattia Trani shared the console along with theundisputed master Jeff Mills and on that occasion the famous newspaper "The Republic" defines him as a "student of the school of Detroit to which Mills himself helped to bring prestige ".

Madalba was born in July 1985 in Bari, south of Italy. From a very young age, her musical interests moved across a broad spectrum, going from house and dance music to rock and punk leading her lastly to techno and club-culture.

At age 22 she approached the local scene as Djane in the club circuit of Bari. Through the years she has developed a continued and careful respect of the musical experience. She moved to Berlin in 2011 and started DJing with only vinyl records. This helped build her strong reputation as an underground techno DJ providing opportunity for her to play in clubs such as Tresor, About Blank, SchwuZ, SO36 and Mikz in Berlin where she lives today. 

In September 2011, she moved to Detroit where she started the collaboration with DJ Seoul and Tom Linder of Detroit Techno Militia. This travel has definitely and radically changed her approach to the techno concept, which she considers more a political and social phenomenon and a lifestyle than just a musical genre. From 2012 till 2016 she joined the party Homopatik as resident dj. 

Her first release on vinyl came out in 2014, on Arkita Rec (Berlin), the label that she spawned together with Synkopheit till 2016.

Owners of DLBM. and members of Beat Movement. Mattia & Simone are 2 djs and producers from South Italy based in Rome.

La cura di un inizio, capovolta, nella fama della pista. E se i colori dell’avventura non soddisfano le pagine che rintoccano l’arte, nel Beat di un nastro completo, le note pulsano il respiro della fatica. Diventare grandi non è cosa facile, di questi tempi, eppure, la tenacia è da sempre l'unica chiave per l’affermazione.

Fare musica è come comporre un virus passionale ed attenderne la trasmissione con la fede di chi ci ha sempre creduto fino in fondo. Un suono che ricorda i vecchi classici della malinconica Detroit fino a sfumare sul taglio del profondo tono Berlinese. La distorsione sull’onda dell’UK li ha condotti a concepire uno stile del tutto innovativo, pregno degli insegnamenti della Old School, modello ed esempio degli appassionati del genere. Il carico di confidare in un sogno. Questo ha mosso, nel tempo, la caparbietà dei ragazzi di Beat Movement che ad oggi sono parte attiva di quella che è una delle principali etichette di musica elettronica e affine, la Blackwater Label, d’incisione analogica.

"Un mix che fonda le sue abilità nel BackToBack, spalla a spalla tra artisti d’appartenenza; quel suono si confonde nella torpedine di un' origine musicale abbondante e delicata. Pare tutto addormentarsi sul movimento del ciglio di quella palpebra di musica socchiusa, solo per un’ora, solo per il piacere di essere stata richiusa." Dal Salento fino alle prime luci della Roma Metropolitana.. perdetevi nelle sale, lasciatevi trasportare da un tocco di desiderio; ovunque vogliate essere, la musica non è altro che l’arte di un Viaggio, il quale, ha sempre inizio con la fiducia di chi l’ascolta, in nome dell'amore per chi la compone.

Formerly known under the live duo alias, Casual Affair, a project recognised throughout London for its signature rolling fluidity and acidic beats, Øliver has a history of electronic music in his blood. In 2016, he took the decision to focus on a self-titled solo project with an evolved musical direction. 

Raised in an environment with a father as a musician, Øliver was inevitably immersed in music from a young age. These musical beginnings were founded around a deep taste for heavy sounding Metal and melancholic genres. Evident in his recent sets and recordings, these prior sounds are playing an influential role in Øliver’s new musical scope. In 2017, the intentions become clear, a style of sound focused around the emerging post-punk movement, whilst retaining a solid home within the techno field. 

A key figure in the London techno community, Øliver also holds a residency at Grey Matter, an experimental night started by Grea Area Agency in 2015, providing the capital with a distinct and selective stream of international and home-grown artists'. Alongside his appearances across London’s spaces, work on a debut EP has emerged, set to embody this bold new chapter.

Fabrizio Rat has clear ideas. « My project is simple» he affirms. « Take a piano, the classic and romantic instrument par excellence, and project it into the hypnotic and powerful soundscape of techno music ». As a matter of fact, the 34 years old comes from a double background. He’s a classically trained pianist who practised improvisation and composed contemporary music, but since his teenage years he has produced electronic music, and spent hours and days with computer, synthesisers and drum machines.

« After many years of practice my musical path seemed to be planned. ». « The ‘traditional’ way of playing the piano had bored me. I knew too well the instrument, I couldn’t be creative any more with the codes and rules I had learnt. I was looking for a new way to approach the instrument, a balance between chance and control, similar to the feeling you get by working instinctively on synthesizers. I realized I had many things to learn from analogue electronic instruments, which represent more than just strictness and precision. These machines, far from being ‘perfect’, almost have feelings I believe, and they behave unexpectedly and unpredictably at times. I thought that by studying and trying to discover their secrets I might be able to push to new boundaries my ‘machine’ from the very beginning, the piano. »

Following two Eps, ‘’La Machina’’ and ‘’Technopiano’’, Fabrizio Rat releases his first album of hybrid techno, with an innovative sound palette. The Pianist combines the acoustic sounds and weird harmonics of his prepared piano with the acid loops of the TB-303 and the beats of the TR-909. « I’m much attracted by a certain type of techno, based on the purity of sound. This music can really approach abstraction, the immateriality of thought and ideas. » A track like “Aimard”, for example, is characteristic of his ambition. « It’s a sort of tunnel. It does not develop apart from a few ‘turning points’, in a similar way to lots of tracks by Jeff Mills, who has been a big inspiration to me for a long time. I feel attracted to his radical approach to techno and his taste of sonic exploration. Many tracks by him have an incredible character. As the records starts, you’re all of a sudden facing a new world. That’s exactly what I am most interested in, to find a strong vibe of a track, much more then constructing a form with evolution and surprises. »
“Gould”, just before “Aimard” in the record, has the same strength but plays with rhythmic elements in a more subtle way.
« It’s not really techno, but still hypnotic. The first version of it had lots of 909 in it, which has been little by little removed, following the advices of Arnaud Rebotini who co-produced the album and released it on his label. Arnaud pushed me towards a more radical and extreme direction, putting the piano on the forefront and simplifying the rhythmical patterns, to be more effective. This gives to the final result more impact I think. »

Unsurprisingly, it’s in front of the dancefloor, in clubs or festivals, that Fabrizio plays his live sets. With the right hand he plays repetitive rhythmical patterns while the left one handles the machines (effects, TB-303, TR-8) and manipulates the piano strings.
His goal is to reach « the trance, to project on the dancers the hypnotic state of my right hand moving on the piano ».

Luciano Lamanna is an authentic maverick, or better said, a free beater.  His core values can be summarised in a handfull of key words: experimentation, analogical instruments, vinyl and Musick above all.  From South to North, with a constant desire to have fun and grasp the right occasions, his career has become distinct due to its unconformity with the established norms. 

As sound engineer, dj, producer and remixer, he never turned down an opportunity of adding his personal touch in his and other’s tracks; initiating fruitful collaborations by injecting some of his essence in various projects such as Assalti Industriali, Der Noir and Lunar Lodge. It’s been a few years now that he’s an active participant of the Italian collective of artists known as LSWHR.

In 2015 he started a collaboration with Davide Ricci from which the “B A L A N C E” project comes to light - a conceptual exhibition based on improvisation through the use of modular synthesizers.  In 2017 together with tattoo artist Luca Mamone give birth to ADSR SPQR.

His strength thus lies in the puzzle of sounds which is the fruit of the most desperate of experiences from industrial, wave and electronic - all of which are knowledgeably tessellated through the art of improvisation.

Lightning from south of Italy whose name of the battle is Drafted who lashes out at a darting pace of strength but aware of the contemporary Techno scene, already ‘strong three productions for two labels are fast growing such as MM Audio and Balans Records which propose an argument that alternates classic and never subdued concept of Mind & Body with an attitude sincere and without masks which search for a strong personal and disenchanted way.
Classical studies have accompanied his adolescence in particular the Plan, for sure Alternative Rock and later like Jazz have cemented a background respectable until the “passionate collision” with equipment that have opened the world of electronic and precisely Techno Music.
The first work of 2015, Stilling Pattern, is a 12 inch disc “where it is possible to deduce the thrill the haven of the vinyl with traces simply found, kick to die and harp is one way to surprise the investigation and the accuracy with which expands an atmosphere of Basic Channel matrix which strikes: Dub foundations and techy intentions.
Frames From The Lake is a 12 inch disc “that is released by Drafted for Balans Records in 2016, an obscure mood pervades the entire work enhanced by the initial ambient track that gives its name to the disc and that seems to travel with a soul as if it were the Gothic Space ‘an intro of a soundtrack for a movie. The album is divided between influences by Jeff Mills with the proverbial exasperation of a psychological funk dynamics and hypnotic climax and is never approached. The third EP, Different Forms Of Expressions, a transparent green marbled vinyl and in general a very successful style of artwork, a special kind of double-split with Unthone where Drafted is taking another step towards the future in fact the track Ethereal Gates seems to be between tracks made until now one in which the goal is to give the funk of Detroit Techno school which is the idea less than the physical suspense between dreams and scenarios which is deliberately sketchy.
It must also indicate the Ascending track of 2015 for a Etui Various Winter Camp 3 on the German label Etui which in fact is a fine slammin’hands game on a structure dub, a really weird number that unconsciously can ‘turn in both sets is paradoxically in the Balearic completely opposite environments. Strong support from names like Ben Clock, DVS1, Ryan Elliott, Francois X and especially Ben Sims, Drafted went back to the office with two works about to come out, Static Depth of MM Audio, which seems to be moving initially towards a Spaced Out Techno the impact and the force is never less but to be absent more and more ‘defined and refined are the musical themes together with the never dull rhythmic study that expands into areas that you could not even begin to be imagined to demonstrate a’ courageous attitude and the will ‘to propose personal compositions.
To initial The Spaced Out Techno which becomes almost a trademark for the upcoming Frame Secrets on Invite Choice Records like Static Depth in a disco hard to hear and analyze on vinyl for those who still cherish certain rules of the Underground precisely because ‘the fact that where the colours seem more ‘dark you can discover the most’ authentic and brilliant sounds, in this case mysterious and dreamy, led by the hand of music by Drafted.

Sebastian Bayne is a DJ, producer and owner of IF? Records based in Sydney. His passion for techno extends beyond merely producing it. Having established an early appreciation for electronic music, he went on to become IF? Records' label owner in 2010, taking over from the label’s co-founder Andrez Bergen aka Little Nobody. The label was originally established in Melbourne in 1995, and has since moved to Tokyo and back to Australia, in Sydney, where it now resides.

Bayne’s experience isn’t limited to Australia. In fact, it wasn’t until the vinyl collector was studying in the UK that he first tried his hand at DJing. Since DJing professionally from 2000, he has reached heights that many others cannot attest to. He has performed at the Great Wall of China, toured China and Hong Kong as well as hold down his first residency in Beijing. He has performed twice in Georgia’s capital city, Tbilisi, with one being regarded as special for the artist, who’s 3 hour set turned into an 8 hour one. In the last few of years, Bayne has scored a regular closing slot at Tresor, Berlin. On
his most recent trip early this year, he played alongside Juan Atkins and Fred P. AKA Black Jazz Consortium, while in the past, he has been lucky enough to support some of the world’s best talent abroad, such as, Octave One, Heiko Laux, Alan Fitzpatrick and Vince Watson among many others. It’s these early moments in his career that have proven to be truly defining for that artist. Sebastian Bayne is known for playing and producing heavy techno. Heaving and pounding in all its glory. But Bayne isn’t one to limit his inspirations. Despite listing techno and reggae as his favourites, he listens to every genre from classical, to country and folk, rock, hip hop and world music. It is this point of difference that has led Sebastian to play at all the best techno parties in Sydney over the past decade including Technikal, Beware the Cat, Subservice, Deep as Funk, Lost Baggage and Disconnected.

This is a special 2 hours recording from Staub party at AboutBlank in Berlin. From ambient and experimental tracks to deep techno for the opening of the garden area, on Saturday 26th May, 2018.

Matteo Brigatti, aka GANDALF, is one of the founders and resident djs of GENAU, one of the leading techno nights in Northern Italy.

After years spent as clubber and amateur dj in the late ’90 and early ‘2000s and truly inspired by Turin underground scene, in 2003 he had the first opportunity to play in public at Docks Home club. After that he started playing in a large number of Turin’s clubs, exploring different styles in his dj sets (electro, prog-house, Chicago house, Detroit techno and minimal). In 2006 he had his first residency in the former night “Mood” every friday at Club Gamma, one of the most important club of the city, playing side by side with some of the most influential international djs, from Jerome Sydenham to Len Faki, from Solomun to Chris Carrier.

In 2008 the Mood experience stopped, and Gandalf started to get closer to UK and German techno scene. In 2010 he started the Stereo project, a techno night active in Turin until 2014, born as a different option to the mainstream tech-house sounds that dominated the scene in that period. In those years he became a real connaisseur of the new deep techno scene and started to promote these sounds in Turin, inviting (and sharing the console with many of them) artists such as Marcel Fengler, Luke Slater, Oscar Mulero, Donato Dozzy, Ben Klock, Marcel Dettmann, DVS1, Robert Hood, Norman Nodge, Rebekah, Sven Vath, Jeff Mills, Ryan Elliott, Silent Servant, Regis, Steve Rachmad, Jonas Kopp and many more. But his passion for music never stuck him to just techno, as he continued to organize and playing in parties with more house sounds with different project (hosting djs such as Theo Parrish, Larry Heard, Hernan Cattaneo, Henry Saiz, Moodymann, Estroe…).

He’s now resident dj and consultant for two of the most important Italian elecotronic music festivals such as Movement Torino and Kappa Futur Festival. He’s been regularly booked as guest in many parties (Dude, Il Suono, Glucose…) and festival around Italy (Nature Beat in Rome, Aurora Festival in Lecce, Forevergreen in Genova and Milan...)

In March 2013 he had the opportunity to play in the most important French techno party, Concrete, and in early 2015 he had his first gig in Berlin at Griessmuhle, followed by an appearance at Karnival Der Kulturen Kreuzberg. In Summer 2015 he as been booked for the "Numa" party in Tokyo, Japan, and in October 2015 he was guest of the infamous "Staub" party in Berlin before returning at About Blank for the "Away meets Genau" party in 2016 and at Kosmonaut in 2017. In April 2017 he returned in Japan where he performed at Dommune and at Unit in Tokyo.

After more than ten years spinning music, he decided that now it’s time to start producing his own techno tracks. His first releases have been published between 2013 and 2014 by the french dub techno label Gravite and today he’s committed to produce music on his own Genau Recordings label: he already release his first vinyl under the collective name Genau along with Noizyknobs and Kessa along with various digital releases.

His style is made of a mixture of energetic and traveling tracks, sometimes deconstructed and re-constructed through the aid of digital technologies and he is well known as a dj that can really understand and become sympathetic with the dancefloor in front of him.

Today he’s recognized as one of the most important promoter of techno sounds in Italy both as artist and as event organizer.
