In the late 90's, he installed a gigantic Olivetti server in the Carisbo bank caveau in Bologna's main square undergrounds, a labyrinth of catacombs, bomb shelters and underground waterways.
Down there he found a dusty MPC 2000XL in an abandoned occupied room, probably an Italo disco studio once belonged to Gaznevada, Confusional Quartet or Datura? Hard to tell.
Randomly pushing a button after one other, PETRONIO was born. A complete music noob with some pretty good dancer's legs, party after party, club after club, Petronio's spontaneous house sensibility started to take shape, a fine line between Detroit and the Riviera. That cash register became many nights best buddy, burning recording session, kilometers of tape and liters of vodka. No one is a prophet in his own country. Chicago's Jordan Fields signs two decades of production but releases only "The Rainbow" on his Oldschool Grooves Records & Tapes.

Now, 20 years later, Petronio debut album will be released on Flexi Cuts Family.
