IL LEPROTTO o LPR8 è il progetto di musica elettronica del produttore cremonese Marco Connelli. Una mi- scela esplosiva di suoni grassi, voci glitchate e campionamenti assordanti, coadiuvati da incalzanti ritmiche techno che, durante i suoi liveset creano una solida alchimia con il pubblico ed un surriscaldamento pratica- mente immediato del dancefloor.
LPR8 ha remixato molti artisti e band, uscendo sotto etichette del calibro di Rustblade, IRMA Records, Ufo Solar, No Sense of Place e Flat Frog (Off Limits).
Dal 2010 ad oggi ha suonato in alcuni dei club e festival più importanti d'Italia condividendo il palco con grandi artisti del momento come Knife Party, Nero, Erol Alkan, Planet Funk, Audio Bullys, Motel Connection, Dillon Francis, Uto Karem, Leeroy Thornill, Riva Starr, Aucan...

Once upon a time there were a monkey, living in the outer space, and a boy, living on the earth. The monkey had a dream, the boy had a dream too. They both wanted to play electro music, and they wanted to do it in a completely different way.After a few intergalactic chats they decided to meet, but the monkey needed a place to stay while being on earth. So the boy offered his head…and the story began.They became Dgtlmonkey and started playing an electro-dance music never heard before, with different and totally unexpected contaminations.


“The land of dirty beats and bananas”, his first album produced by Fu.Nch in 2010, shocked the club audience. This work obtained a lot of good reviews by specialized websites and major magazines like Raveline and is still supported by many Djs all around the world.Then several live shows melted and pleasured together the audience from different musical background in a compact dance-room.


Dgtlmonkey worked on official remixes for Stereoliez, Le Rose, Eater, Ryko the Drummaker,Arsenic Cherry, DSynth and Glitterball, and his album “The land of dirty beats and bananas” has been remixed by some of the best electro and techno italian producers.


The new album is now ready, and it’s going to be out on spring 2012.
We don’t know what him and his monkey are going to bring us, but one thing is sure: the monkey is still in his head and they’re going to surprise their public and to re-write club music rules… once again.
