With a sonic journeys that mercilessly traversal back and forth in time, bringing the listeners from sordid 90’s warehouses to blazing next-millennium cyberpunk sceneries, from drum’n’bass flavours to hard techno weapons or intricate ambient works, Mattia Trani managed to create one of the greatest techno (“techno” in its broader, more noble and visionary sense) albums you’ll ever be likely to hear. Let the music speak. Let the emotions draw sceneries. Let love and knowledge hit your heart, your mind, your ears.

[FR]

DJ ANGEL puise dans des influences artistiques variées, créant un son à la fois groovy et sensuel, mêlant des tonalités organiques à des lignes de basse profondes et rebondissantes. En fondant l'agence 2222, ANGEL souhaite renforcer la communauté queer et soutenir les minorités au sein de la scène.

En ses propres mots : 

« J’ai enregistré ce set après mes 1 mois en Allemagne où je suis allée à mon premier Berghain et le festival XRDS avec un line up monumental en termes de qualité de sets en Belgique ça m'a beaucoup inspiré dans la sélection de mes tracks pour ce mix. J'ajoute qu'en ce moment je prends plaisir à découvrir des sons + bass music et je me permet d'en saupoudrer mes mix :p 

Vous pouvez me retrouver le 7 pour mon premier Virage aux côtés d'Under Black Helmet et Tham je suis super excitée pour cette date et également le 20 septembre pour une soirée spéciale pour la ROTTEN, je suis enchantée de l'invitation de ce collectif qui promeut la fête libre, libérée et safe, valeurs que je soutien, c'est le genre d'ambiances dans lesquelles j'adore mixer, le flow vous emporte avec le public et c'est addictif. »

DJ ANGEL draws from a variety of artistic influences, creating a sound that is both groovy and sensual, blending organic tones with deep, bouncy bass lines. By founding 2222 Agency, ANGEL aims to strengthen the queer community and support minorities within the scene.

In their own words:

“I recorded this set after spending a month in Germany, where I went to my first Berghain and the XRDS festival, which had a monumental lineup in terms of set quality in Belgium. It inspired me a lot in selecting my tracks for this mix. I’d also like to add that right now, I’m enjoying discovering more bass music, and I’m sprinkling some of it into my mixes

You can catch me on the 7th for my first Virage alongside Under Black Helmet and Tham—I’m super excited for this date! Also, on September 20th, for a special night with ROTTEN. I’m delighted by the invitation from this collective that promotes free, liberated, and safe partying, values that I support. These are the kinds of vibes where I love to mix—the flow carries you with the crowd, and it’s addictive.”

Mattia Trani is considered one of the most talented young artists of the techno music landscape of recent years, both Italian and European. Born in a musical family, he starts fostering his passion for music as a child, building his background by studying the piano at first, and then focusing on DJing and musical production.
The obsessive research of new sounds, as well as the use of analog instruments (drum machines, samplers and keyboard synths), brought him to pioneer a high-quality techno style which crosses over between Warehouse/Rave and Acid/Drum’n’Bass.
In 2012, by founding his own label Pushmaster Discs, Mattia manages to score important collaborations with international artists like Ben Sims, Juan Atkins,Ken Ishii, DJ Stingray and many others.
Today his platform represents a small “musical universe” and his work is supported by many American music heroes like Jeff Mills and Derrick May, but also European artists like Laurent Garnier , Dave Clarke and Ben Klock, with Amelie Lens and Nina Kraviz as self-proclaimed fans.
In 2014, during the party for the 20th anniversary of Bologna’s Link Club, Trani shares the console with Jeff Mills, and in that occasion the famous Italian newspaper La Repubblica defines him a “Student of the Detroit school, which Mills himself brought to fame”.
The relationship with Motor City runs deep, leading Mattia Trani to publish his own podcast on the official radio of the legendary Underground Resistance. Despite the super young age, he’s the only Italian to ever have had such a privilege.
His skills develop further in 2018 by publishing several works: the single Uncage, for example, in which explodes the thunderous remix of the one and only Donato Dozzy, and the 20th release of Pushmaster Discs: a thrilling EP, with a refined and precious remix of Steve Rachmad the European pioneer of minimalism, involved under the alias of Sterac.
During the pandemic time Mattia never stopped the ideas and release more music,infact on 2020 his track “quasistar” was selected and released by Nina Kraviz on Trip recordings,in 2021 the Italian producer released his second album “SCENERY”, a timeless Hardgroove/Rave/Nu-Techno/Jungle - DNB 15 tracks inside a big triple vinyl box.
After 2 years from the album, Trani’s published “SCENERY THE REMIXES” on june 2023, another big album with amazing reworks from legends of techno like Robert Hood,Marcel Dettmann,Luke Slater,Ken Ishii and many others.
At the end of 2023 he will debut on the amazing Dax J label “Monnom Black” and will start a collaboration to future projects together.
Mattia is today the only Italian artist who can claim to have scored collaborations with such big names - for this, he has gained the nickname of “the Italian King of Techno”.
