Raffaele Rizzi is a brilliant example of the inexhaustible source of talents that the Partenopean capital continues to give to the world of electronic music for over twenty years. Despite his young age, Raffaele has an extended and variegated discography including releases on labels such as: Rino Cerrone’s Loose Records and Unrilis, Markantonio’s Analytictrail, Mauro Picotto’s Alchemy, Stefano Noferini’s Deeperfect, 2000 and One’s 100% Pure Records and Bitten, and Christian Smith’s Tronic and more.
Born and raised in Naples, he began studying piano at the early age of ten, firstly as self-taught and then under the expert guidance of teachers from the Musical Studies Center of his city. Mostly thanks to his infinite passion for music and the open-minded culture, seduced by the idea of ​​being able to create a sound by increasing or decreasing the pitch on the turntable. At the age of 15 he was seduced by electronic music and its repetitive although changing rhythms. Influenced by the music of Gabriel Ananda and Rino Cerrone, musicians like him that find inspiration for their tracks looking beyond the classical schemes, Raffaele is dedicated in developing its own musical identity within the techno trend, distinguished by dark, raw and thunderous sounds.
Quintessence of the contemporary electronic, techno music becomes for Raffaele the perfect tool with which to conquer freedom of expression, unexpected perspective from which to observe and analyze his artistic present and future. Over the years his sound goes from a techno with peculiar but elegant minimalist touches to more acoustic sounds characterized by deviant bass vibrations and connections of synths.
Although still very young, considering the explosive succession of musical productions and the constant participation of the artist in the events, both in Italy and abroad, the contribution of Raffaele Rizzi to "Neapolitan Techno" is to be considered decisive. His sound, composed by a refined union of Berlin Techno with marked Dub clues, has already collected the grace of top caliber artists like Adam Beyer, Alan Fitzpatrick, Cristian Smith, Joseph Capriati and Richie Hawtin, creating him a respectful spot among the names of the new age parthenopean techno.

Known for his strong stage presence and emotional connection with audiences, Federico's career is rapidly advancing as he continues to innovate and make his mark in electronic music.

There are few artists carving out a legacy for themselves like Dax J is right now. The British DJ and producer from London has gone from the backroom parties to headlining raves at every major techno institution the world over, all whilst staying true to the underground with an individual style all of his own. His technical skill, pure selection as a DJ and attention to high-end sound production has placed him at the forefront of a global scene, and established him as a singular presence within modern dance music. 

Recent accolades for his unswerving devotion to his sound have included places in the top 100 DJs polls published by Resident Advisor, DJ Mag and Groove Magazine. Over the years, he’s also received nominations as Best Techno DJ, Best Breakthrough DJ and Best British DJ from Mixmag, DJ Mag and the DJ Awards. He's renowned for playing mammoth closing sets at monumental parties including 10-hour marathons in the world’s most notorious techno clubs, Berghain and Bassiani.

Also known as a prolific producer and successful record label boss, his trademark sound remains in constant rotation among the most respected DJs in dance music, a style which was first fully recognised on his highly acclaimed 2015 album, "Shades of Black". Upon its initial release on his own Monnom Black label, Mixmag named it "Album of the Month", Hardwax described it as “brilliantly banging” and it also took the coveted No.1 spot on Juno Records. 2018 saw Dax release his multi-faceted second solo album “Offending Public Morality”. The record won support across the board, including that of BBC Radio 1 who picked it as their “Biggest Record of the Week”. By the end of 2018, “Offending Public Morality” also featured in the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” lists for DJ Mag, Tsugi and Apocalypse Mag. Two more events that crowned a year of great success were his enrolment into the BBC hall of fame with the release of his debut Radio 1 Essential Mix, and Be.At.TV’s choice of his 4-hour closing set at NeoPop Festival for their “Best DJ set of the year”
