Davide Rodogno was born in Naples in 1976. He first got interested in music at the age of 4 when he began listening to his mother's LP collection of Progressive Rock and Reggae. By the time he was 8 he began to study music with piano lessons first and after that guitar and bass guitar. As a teenager he preformed as a musician in some local bands like “Venus in Furs” and “Amaramalia” playing in some club in Naples like Hardrock Cafè, Notting Hill and Sham rock. At the age of 20 he started to ge involved in the underground scene of squatters and illegal parties in London. He was fascinated by the new sonorities proposed by artists like D.A.V.E the Drummer, Chris liberator, Jerome Hill and the underground scene in London, increasing his curiosity towards electronic music. Due to his curiosity and his passion for music, he started to figure out how to reproduce that sound buying his first groovebox, soon he added sampler, mixer controllers and effects unit to his setup. Whit this setup he started to play his music in the underground scene of Naples, Rome and of course London. He played under the name of FAC2ORY in some outdoor and indoor illegal parties and improved his skills. A few years later, following the release of Traktor Scratch, he changed his setup into a more standard mixer, turntables, laptop and effects. As a DJ, he played in Clubs in Naples (Freezer, Velvet), Rome (Circolo dei Musicisti, Kollatino Underground), Barcelona (BLVD, Alhambra) and began to organize private parties with his friends starting the “Technofamily” crew. These parties grew becoming a regular fixture for his fans. In July 2015  he was the first Italian Dj to open the Main Stage at ECO FESTIVAL - Slovenia.
