Either when holding the bar for over a decade at Soundwall - one of the reference webzines for the Italian electronic music landscape - working as artistic director for the Roman party RNY or during his two-decade long digging journey: Matteo Cavicchia’s life has always been guided by music and the desire to explore and absorb as many artistic stimuli as possible. Basically Ugly Covers was born in 2023 as an ode to the bad taste for record covers’ artworks from back in the day, the surface under which some of the most underrated and funniest gems of (not only) dance music are uncovered.

Livio welcomes Paola Salvato aka Pola, Class of 1997, who expressed herself from an early age through two worlds: music and literature.  A graduate of Modern Philology, she grew up around the concerts of her mother, a pianist on the Neapolitan scene. This is how she began her journey through music, in search of sonorities that could timidly approach the refined baggage of classical musical culture.  Thus she began an intimate journey of personal training, ranging from one gem to another. "It's a jazzy thing" or electronic feels form the basis of her musical selections, ending with her moving among vinyls like a multifaceted dancer and a naïf collector.

Coral Mambo is the music project by music producer, dj and creative designer Dario Monet. After traveling, living and playing music around the world, from Milan to Beijing and Tokyo, he is currently based in Brussels where he organises parties and events. Every Coral Mambo set is a dreamy emotional journey; his music selection is always unexpected, spacing from many different genres: from the dusty sounds of emotional techno and italo-house to the outer universes of contemporary electronic music.

Alessio Anthony, aka Alfa Alfa, is first and foremost a passionate vinyl collector, with a deep love for Italian music. He was influenced by a web radio created by Flavio Scutti, where he refined his musical taste by "stealing" with his ears the sounds that inspired him to become a DJ. Today he shares his rarities and his musical vision with people. For three years he has also been carrying out the "Sentimento" project together with two other guys, an initiative that embodies his passion for music and sound research.

Pazz project, initially known as PazzForTheJazz, emerged in 2016 from the fusion of
the work of two Calabrian DJs, Sharon Samà aka Sharon Esse, and Matteo Caglioti
aka MTCGT, to spread music as culture, freedom of expression and art form. The
name Pazz, which means 'crazy' in Neapolitan, stands for the sometimes crazy
approach of the project itself which, starting from jazz, ranges without preconceptions by combining the two different musical timbres of the co-founders.
