Take8 is, was and always will be first and foremost a Dj! My idea is always to play the crowd and kill the dance floor with a unique style of elaborated beats and crowd pleasing anthems!


 A producer grown over the years to take his listeners across an eclectic and unique journey inspired by all of the earths cultures and people.

He was born to an immigrant Italian family in the heart of the East End of London in the summer of 1986.

His fixation with music spreads from two very different realities. On one side he had the traditional folkloric and earthly sounds of his parents southern Italian lands of Irpinia bellowed upon him from birth: on the other, the multicultural riddims, that still to this day immerse Bow E3’s colourful community.

Whilst it may have taken him slightly longer than most to find his calling and his instrument, he has always been engaged and guarded by the euphoric sounds of one of the worlds capitals of music.

His mother, a primary school assistant with an immense appetite for everything Motown, would have the music on from 6am onwards whilst waking the kids up for school, whilst his father would have interim permission to do so only in the car on the journey down to Mile End Station, he too a former Dj in the old village radio of Montemiletto (AV). 70’s Italian Funk and ItaloDisco, with an interlude of classical music which would cause the usual discussion on the morning run. The weekends with the #Nonni would culminate in the typical Tarantelle and Serenate, whilst at school the 20 plus different nationalities of class mates would lead him to delve into a non stop chopping and changing of 2-Step Garage, Dnb – Jungle, Trance, Rock, Heavy Metal and old school hard house.

When he finally figured out that music was his only true salvation in this life, he took to mixing on the legendary 1210’s which have seen him pass unnoticed, hosting his own electronic parties at University for 4 years and travelling across Europe to play at some of the biggest and best parties the continent has to offer, including the legendary Cromie Disco of Taranto, Rome’s Spazio & Siena’s Essenza clubs which regularly play host to true pioneers of the electronic scene such as Richie Hawtin, Jeff Mills, to mention but a few.

His personal success comes down to his no bars mentality of mixing, wherein he tries to blend all of his musical inspiration into his live energetic performances combining multi track mixing across 3 or 4 genres at a time.



He finally began producing in late 2012 and has since released a joint album: written, recorded and self produced, in the ancient Albayzin quarter of Granada (Andalucia) under the alias The Marcophones. He is currently spearheading his longterm #PronoiaSounds project along side a host of different unsigned artists and has a number of releases coming with many collaborations.
