Italy’s Francesco Argentieri mints his TRUE IDENTITY label with the ‘Self Control’ EP, landing September 2024.
Argentieri has been active since 2019, with a discography spanning labels like Dutch institution Planet Rhythm, Insolate’s Out Of Place and his 2021 ‘Natural Killer’ album on Diffuse Reality - now starting his own label as a home for his output.

First up on Fransesco Argentieri’s ‘Self Control’ EP is the title track, a raw techno tool with excellently built-out loops set to keep the dance floor in full flux. Next up, ‘Chili’ boasts an infectious groove shot through with soulful techno stabs before ‘Awareness’ rattles and shakes with ample layers of distortion. Argentieri’s ‘Self Control’ EP on TRUE IDENTITY is a versatile release that will find a home in the record bags of many, with closer ‘Model’ being yet another classy and gorgeous techno cut with plenty of nostalgia.

Francesco Argentieri, class '96, is a South Italy based DJ and producer.

Since he was a child, his parents noticed his natural attitude to the music's listening and appreciation, developing in the early years of adolescence his love for rock and metal music.
Since then, he started studying music, at first with classical guitar to then approach to the electric one.

Growing up, developing his own musical taste and getting experienced, even attending his first parties in the clubs, he matured an affinity with techno music, and so he started at first learning the roots of mixing, while still always searching for the most unheard music from all over the globe, making of him an ever-growing DJ, who thanks to his various musical influences, always manages to offer high impact DJ sets on the dancefloor.

2019 marks his debut as a producer, releasing on a VV.AA. for the infamous Dutch label Planet Rhythm, to then release in 2020 his first EP on Insolate's Out Of Place and in 2021 his first LP, "Natural Killer", on Diffuse Reality.
