Originally from Bari, South of Italy, Fedele Ladisa is part of the emerging wave of DJs and producers who are eager to explore new territories of electronic music. Since his youth, when he learned how to play with instruments such as piano and violin, music has always been his mission. 

In 2006, he entered the universe of DJing and started performing in dierent clubs around Italy. With Hip Hop, R’N’B, Soul, and Nu-Disco music as initial backgrounds, he soon developed an ever-growing and free-spirited interest in House and Techno’s unpredictable variety of soundscapes. His penchant for electronic music drove him to master the universe of synthesizer techniques and drum machines and to start making his own music.

Following an enthusiastic debut release “No Mercy for Beginners” on the Canadian label Turbo, he decided to quit the ambitious project Agents of Time in which he was the frontman for 7 years, and to go on his own.

He further enriched his ongoing solo career releasing music on Ellum Audio, Obscura which he owns now, and several remixes for some of the biggest acts in the electronic scene such as GOOSE, Stephan Bodzin, etc.

Running also his electro alter ego Sharp Felon to explore sonorities in which danceoor-oriented substance and underground-driven spirit are the key engines to dene the strict rules and standardized areas of electronic dance musicality, he released his rst record “Let The Game Begin” on Lone Romantic.

The result of those big achievements led him to perform at internationally recognized festivals as well as infamous clubs around the globe and to receive massive support from the likes of Maceo Plex, Tiga, Tale of Us, Dixon, John Digweed, Miss Kittin, Dj Stingray, etc.

Driven by devotion for the underground pioneers and a yearning for forward-thinking sounds, Fedele’s own DJ sets herald a stream of compelling and emotive beats and textures, always irrespective of the preconceived mainstream inclinations

Grig Starts A Cult!

Plains in Wakanda is a journey where lo-fi spirit meets African soul. This album was created using authentic African tribal instruments, blending their natural textures with chilled lo-fi beats to create something both native and modern.

Each track carries a soft rhythmic pulse, a sense of openness, and the warmth of the African plains. When you listen, you can almost see lions moving across golden fields, elephants roaming beneath acacia trees, and sunsets painting the horizon.

This is lo-fi made to transport you: calm, creative, and alive with the heartbeat of nature. Perfect for relaxing, studying, or just closing your eyes and drifting away.

In today’s electronic music world there are not many artists who can lay claim to a legacy like that of DJ T. Born in Dusseldorf, DJ T. (aka Thomas Koch,) re-located to Frankfurt with his family in the late 70s. During his formative years, he fell for the hypnotic grooves of disco, inspired by his parents’ record collec-tion. At the age of nine he was already completely enraptured by music and that love affair continues until this very day. He began an obsessive quest to collect music, feeding his soul with everything from Disco and Hi-Nrg, through to early Hip-Hop and Electro, Soul, Funk and R’n’B. The groovy, infectious rhythms of all those genres continue to permeate into the music he makes and plays today, providing an intrinsic part of his sound ethic. 
He took up breakdancing, before becoming a DJ, playing at private parties ini-tially before landing his first professional gigs in the late eighties. This period proved to be a pivotal moment in his life as Acid House swept through Europe, landing in Frankfurt and taking over with the launch of Sven Väth’s legendary Omen club in 1988. The first wave of House and Techno took hold and T. was there at the forefront, absorbing all the fresh new sounds from Chicago, Detroit and the UK. He picked up a residency at the infamous Music Hall and held resi-dencies at countless clubs across the city during the next 10 years from Plastik and Dorian Gray to The Box. By the end of the nineties, he was one of Frank-furt’s best-known selectors. 
In 1989 DJ T. tapped into another side of his creative energy to set up Groove Magazine. Identifying a gap in the market and fuelled by a need to satisfy his own desire for specialised music journalism, which focused on his interests – namely underground dance music. Under his leadership the magazine was launched into the public’s consciousness and he guided Groove to become one of Europe’s premier dance music publications, which it still is today. 
DJ T.’s progression continued at a pace, as he launched his own club, Monza, using the experience gained through a decade of club events and tours under the Groove Magazine banner. He also invested his skills and knowledge into con-ceiving Get Physical – a label, which remains one of the world’s best- known House and Techno platforms. Though he left in 2010, T. still occasionally A&Rs for the label, lending his uncanny ability to uncover new talent to the seminal label. 
Production-wise, he has been consistent ever since his debut release, the ‘Mon-sterbaze’ EP with Steve Bug, which was released on Poker Flat in 2000. Since then, T. has released several well-received EPs, a slew of remixes and three al-bums, ‘Boogie Playground’ in 2005, ‘The Inner Jukebox’ produced with Tho-mas Schumacher in 2009 and ‘Pleasure Principle’ in 2011. His special touch has also been employed by numerous labels to curate compilation mixes , including ‘United Under The Ball – 30 Years Of Disco’ in 2011 and ‘The House That Jack Built Vol 1 & 2’ in 2012. In 2013 he celebrated 25 years of DJing with a very personal mix compilation, followed also by ‘Body Language 15’ and col-laboration with Defected and Strictly Rhythm to celebrate the latter’s 25th anni-versary. DJ T.’s reputation for being a master selector has been cemented by these superlative collections of music, each of which has received widespread praise, often featuring many of T.’s own edits of classic tracks. 
Despite so many accolades, his passion for music remains staunch, recently making several key changes to his professional life that have inspired him to explore new terrains. With hot new releases on AUS Music, Moon Harbour, True Soul and Jackathon representing his continued to desire to push his crea-tive boundaries. 
A highly-skilled DJ and producer and an A&R with an uncanny ability to dis-cover a nurture new talent, DJ T. is a master selector and one of the industry’s most influential figures.
