Straight from Northern Italy, Alessio Meneghello or better known for his moniker Alan Backdrop, has been alluring his listeners through his productions characterized with deep atmospheres and a mixture of different genres. Simply put, Alan’s fascination is a reflection of his passion for electronic music and inspiration he gets from the world around.

He is the kind of producer that certainly enjoys his studio jam sessions—this is the reason why he spends most of the time in his studio tweaking knobs on synthesizers, recording and experimenting with the aim to capture and create his exceptional sound.

Alan Backdrop released his debut album, VR Plan, in 2013 on Prologue Music, an album that includes some of his pioneering tracks, such as “Cherber,” “Medel,” and “Siere.” Shortly, he managed to create his second album, Eria, released in 2014 on Ekar Records, label and platform with which he has a long-lasting relationship and where he released a big part of his discography. Amongst the others, the two techno EPs released for "Mental Modern" and "Semantica Records" in 2018 are noteworthy, while the last works seeing the light in 2019 are a deep techno 12" for the Czech "Harmony Records" collective and a massive trancy track called "Nizaj" for Nina Kraviz's "трип Recordings".

Alessio's side project is a_000, born from the unprompted come across of him and Enrico Rlt, which resulted in the creation of "Road to Nauta", the very first wax from Ekar Records and "Ness Reworks 001", a 12" containing two original tracks plus two remixes from the label founder and friend Ness.

In addition to spending most of the time in his studio, Alan Backdrop performs in various festivals—the latest in which he performed were Modem Festival and Parallel— and in different clubs and musical events. Fascinated by electronic music and concentrated in the realization of atmospheric musical journeys is the best way to describe Alan Backdrop.

Since 7 years ago we patiently spread techno music all around the globe.
We are going to celebrate podcast number 200 with a very special contribution by italian duo https://soundcloud.com/plants-army-revolver.

Very special thanks to https://soundcloud.com/mentalmodern

Plants Army Revolver is the duo formed by Marco Ragni and Valentin Birgan. The pair met in 2013 in Rome, while attending an electronic music course at Fonderie Sonore. After an almost immediate connection, the two promised each other to meet again in the studio for a joint jam session. For a series of reasons, this only ended to happen after two years.

In winter 2014, Marco and Valentin finally managed to get together and brainstorm: this was when the project Plants Army Revolver was born.
From here onwards, it followed several years of recordings and live sessions throughout Italy and Europe.
PAR’s sound is a constant balance between ambient and techno music, with tribal and hypnotic features, always pursuing musical investigation, research and experimentation through the use of modular synths and drum machines.

The Alchemical Theory project was born in 2018 from the creative union of three italian producers: Kill Acid on Space, Unclear and Øyvind (owner of Subosc Records together Kaelan). The identity of the project has been very influenced by the favorite sounds of the three artists, ranging from modular electronic sounds to much more atmospheric sounds. This project also comes from the love of mysticism, alchemy and nature. In each release they want to represent something that affects the listener's mind, reproducing a real mental journey.

Dorian Gray is the reflective persona of the Italian producer and DJ, Moreno Mariotti, an artist whose comprehension of techno music is a far cry from any conventions. Dorian’s musical craftsmanship is influenced by two core aspects – his interest in astronomy, but also esotericism and mythology. His productions formulate refined deep and ambient atmosphere, cleverly connected to his interests beyond music. Spellbinding rhythms, detailed ambient pads, and intervening acidic loops shape Dorian’s signature sound and provide a clear glance at this artist’s inspirational flow and intricate creative process. His work appeared on labels such as The Gods Planet, Edit Select Records, Informa Records and many others. This year he launched his new label DORIAN.

A deep and obscure rhythm opens the dimension of the watchful dream and the initiatory journey. The obsessive beat opens the doors of the underworld, to the bowels of the earth, to the chthonic, telluric dimension of the unconscious.
