haha i hear the "captain of her heart" sample... nice work

Every time I get a new machine in the studio, it leads me to a new track. After getting my new Ecler 4.0 Dj-mixer, this last Xmas, it felt necessary to spend some time mixing and get more familiar with it. I eventually recorded this mix, live and loud at Karl Marx Boulevard Studios, using mostly vinyl and a few cds. It was Xmas and the end of an amazing intense year (2013), so I took the chance to put all of it together. Even though it is not meant to be "massi's best of 2013 mix", it does feature some of the tracks that have been essential to me over this past year and/or that I have enjoyed playing out. Yet it goes beyond that, in the sense that I have simply been playing all what came to my mind without any boundaries or special concepts behind. As such, it is more about the joy of mixing records. It is also a little present to all of you, my beloved followers out there. I thank you for your wonderful support and wish you all an amazing 2014! Love and see you on the dance-floors!!! M.

Massi Happy New Year Mix (2014)

As part of RA2122, our ongoing celebration of 21 years of club culture, we'll be featuring some of our favourite DJs from around the world, highlighting the parties or clubs most important to their lives in dance music. First up we have Tama Sumo and Lakuti, both residents at Berlin's Panorama Bar, the house-focused room upstairs at Berghain. Panorama Bar has played host to thousands—if not millions—of people's most formative dance floor experiences, with an unparalleled vibe, near-perfect sound and window blinds that have taken their own place in dance music mythology. 

The duo's mix highlights the style that Tama Sumo and Lakuti have brought to the club and represents its anything-goes energy, mixing tracks from iconoclasts like Hieroglyphic Being (including one of his best-ever tracks) in with old-school favorites from Reel By Real, Larry Heard and even Ministry, moving from house to industrial to disco without batting an eyelid. Tama Sumo and Lakuti's loose but impeccable flow ties together house music history with a deep love and knowledge of all genres and, perhaps most importantly, the desire and know-how to just make people dance. We couldn't be more thrilled to feature Tama Sumo and Lakuti for the first mix in our birthday series, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.

RA.853 Tama Sumo & Lakuti

I met Francesco in 1996, he usually came to the record store I was working at in Frankfurt (Delirium Records) straight after a good night out at the OMEN on Saturday morning and hung out with his friends for quite some time listening to the new records we dropped (knowing they would function really well ;)).
We've been friends since and occasionally, when I need time out from Berlin and some inspiration, I stay a few days at his place in Dietzenbach (near Offenbach).
Last Saturday, we spontaneously streamed 2 live DJ sets to my Blast Radio channel and on Sunday night, we just streamed another one.
The 3rd one is too good to be leaving the internet after 24 hours, so we uploaded it here for your listening pleasure. We might even upload the other 2 mixes, let us know in the comments if we should do so!

Enjoy! <3

Catch Francesco Menduni at Panorama Bar on 25/26th of February, together with Chez Damier.
Catch me at the same place next weekend, 21/21st of January (hint: it's my favourite Sunday slot)

You can book us for your House party, too!

Banana Moon aka Luigi Di Venere & Massimiliano Pagliara live at Maximum Joy @ SAMEHEADS 24.02.23

Alias: Matías Aguayo
Pronoun: He / Him
Location: Ciudad de México
Labels: Cómeme
Collective: Cómeme
Name of the Mix: Something About The Groove
About the Mix: «Me considero und DJ de House, mismo si a veces el House como género no domina en mis sets. La manera en que voy armando la noche -en conjunto con les bailarines en la pista- es algo que viene de ahí, y de recuerdos y experiencias compartidas con gente que definieron mi propio sentimiento del House, que está alejado de la narrativa oficial. Es en Colonia, la capital de la música electrónica en Alemania, en su momento denominada “Baby Chicago” por les DJs que nos venían a visitar desde aquella ciudad, donde conocí la pista de baile que proponía cada semana nuevos pasos. Christian S y yo teníamos una fiesta llamada “Lost” a la cual invitamos a Elbee Bad, con el que me fui en tren de Berlin a Colonia. Para mi hubo un antes y un después ahí - de cómo tocar, de cómo dialogar con la pista de baile. Este set que les presento me llevó a esos recuerdos y refleja una manera de ver el House que tiene que ver con Elbee Bad, The prince of dance, que tiene que ver con mi sello Cómeme, con Ana Helder, con Katerina, Diegors, con Christian S, con Sano - y que también tiene que ver con lo Latino en el House, y con Sudáfrica, donde el House nunca se fue y donde siempre lo he sentido muy vivo, en nuevas interpretaciones de un mismo sentimiento. En Johannesburgo sonaban temas de Cómeme (Como “ósea hello” de Diegors), y les DJs de Cómeme siempre tocaban tracks que venían de allá - con DJ Spoko marcando el paso de los ritmos que disfrutábamos en ese momento, culminando un día en el manifiesto colaborativo entre Spoko, Elbee y yo que fue “Something about the Groove”, título de mi Mix.
Ellos ya no están con nosotres, pero de alguna manera si permanecen vivos en nuestro ritmos y sonidos, y nuestra propia interpretación del House.»

Holographic dj set recorded for Dave P's Amakingtime 20th anniversary aired on october 2nd.

JT @AMakingTime XX (Oct2020)

Massimiliano Pagliara was born in Tricase (Lecce) in the deep south of Italy. Already as a child he listened to diverse types of music: rap, classical, reggae, dub and 60s rock'n'roll. Coming from this small village, he and his friends created a small musical world for themselves, spending a lot of time every day playing records in his basement and at private parties.
Upon moving to Milan in 1997, Massi embarked on an academic career and eventually earned his diploma in theatre, dance and choreography at the Civica Scuola di Teatro Paolo Grassi in 2001. While discovering the fashionable and alternative club scene of the city, his imagination was captured by experimental electronic music such as Aphex Twin, Boards Of Canada, Autechre and Mira Calix. Naturally these avant-garde sounds eventually found their way into Massi's original body of work.
After finishing school he ventured to Europes underground capital Berlin, where he continued his studies in contemporary dance, but also dived into the city's explosive techno nightlife, particularly the renowned OstGut club. Massi's interest in electronic music found its peak in 2003 when he finally began to pursue DJing with a passion. Ever since he's been spinning records across the world as well as some of the most popular underground venues in Germany – among them Tape Club, SchwuZ, Tresor, ://about blank, Robert Johnson, and of course Berghain / Panorama Bar, where he holds a residency.
Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to productio. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he's holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. 2011 saw the release of his debut album Focus For Infinity (on Live At Robert Johnson), followed by his sophomore LP With One Another in 2014. February 2017 saw his debut release on Ostgut Ton with the EP Time And Again. Since then, Massi has worked on various EPs, remixes, single track, all culminating in the late 2018 release of his third full-length solo album, titled Feel Live. February 2020 saw his debut on Munich's label Permanent Vacation with his new EP Nothing Stays In One Place For Long, in 2021 he's added the third part of his Uncanny Valley label trilogy with the EP Connection Lost Pt. 3. His latest album See You In Paradise releases in October 2022, once again with Permanent Vacation.
But he’s not always alone: Massi has been collaborating with luminaries around town such as gui.tar, Snax, Daniel Wang, Lemercier & The Lala By, Discodromo as well international artists. This lead to several side projects over the last decade, such as [sic!] with the two members of gui.tar, The Rimshooters with the Brazilian DJ and producer Rotciv, Egyptian Nipples with the multi-instrumentalist Jules Etienne, Banana Moon with Luigi Di Venere, Couple Looking with Chris Cruse to name just a few.
There's an ongoing lust for dialogue when it comes to Massimiliano Pagliara – be it through his collaborations and solo productions, during his DJ sets, with his own music label Funnuvojere Records or on a personal level. The world of dance, movement and communication is deeply rooted in Massi's life – when you know how to move yourself, you easily know how to move others.
