Speaking Minds is the musical project of Italian DJ/Producer Simone Sinatti, active in the international music circuit from over a decade as DJ, programmer and A&R.
Started as a duo back in 2012 with former member Marco Paladin which leaded to releases on labels like AEON or My Favorite Robot Records, Simone embraced the solo road in 2017 and some new roads opened for Speaking Minds: after his ‘Jupiter Express’ released on Correspondant, he followed up with “Blue Days”, track included on WhoMadeWho’s compilation for Watergate Records. Year continued with his return to mother label AEON with an EP accompanied with remixes by Fort Romeau and Moscoman, premiered via BBC1 Radio and gaining huge support all over the world. 2021 sees Speaking Minds releasing an official remix for Telepopmusik's classic track "Breathe" on Virgin Records and his biggest discographic accomplishment so far: a track on brand new Laurent Garnier's label Cod3 QR. Recent times seen him busy releasing music on Leipzig based well respected Riotvan label and for the legendary Live at Robert Johnson imprint being part of their 25Y anniversary. 
After a decade spent collaborating with some of most renowned brands in the industry such as Circoloco or Lattexplus, he decided to focus more on his own projects and his career as booking manager for several clubs and parties including Apollo Club in Milan or his very own +39 series. Being in the game for quite a while, dj highlights includes shows at Robert Johnson, Circoloco, Sunday Sunday, Extrema Outdoor, Movement, Village Underground, Bar Americas, Oasis Festival, ADE, Watergate, Shelter, Cocorico and Off Sonar to name a few, sharing also the decks with some of the most respected djs of the globe including Laurent Garnier, Seth Troxler, The Blessed Madonna, Palms Trax, Ben Ufo, Job Jobse, WhoMadeWho, Bedouin, DJ Tennis, Gerd Janson, Bambounou, FJAAK, Pantha Du Prince, Miss Kittin and Marcellus Pittman.
