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”.

Mihalis Safras is the Greek DJ/producer sensation that has – over the course of an illustrious career – forged a name for himself as one of the most hard-working and consistently brilliant electronic artists in the world.

A ferociously dedicated producer and vinyl-championing DJ, Mihalis is a true electronic warrior. 

Significant milestones in his career include remixing Marco Carola – one of the very few artists every to have officially done so – with his interpretation of Play It Loud hitting Beatport top spot after only a few days and going on to be one of the biggest records of 2016. More recently, Mihalis has formed a unique bond with dance music pioneer Green Velvet. To date they have collaborated on no fewer than seven records – including Discogirl, Microwave and Speak To Me – with their eight due for release late 2019. 

In addition to being a real DJs DJ – there are few other tech house artists charted as regularly by their peers as Mihalis – he’s firm fan favourite, to date having clocked up an impressive ten million streams on Spotify, and regularly packing clubs from London to Ibiza and beyond. 

Currently working on his third studio album and touring the global festival circuit at EDC, Creamfields, BPM and more, Mihalis’s will continue to pursue his love of musical creation and performance for the foreseeable future. For the sake of ravers around the world, long may his passion continue.

"My trajectory, I hope, will always be uphill, in continuous musical evolution... I’m always hungry for new sound experiences, and I’ll put all my soul into it." - Raffaele Attanasio

The confines of contemporary music often ensnare a musician in a particular sound. Wrapped up in a box that defines and sells the 'product', that it's easier to digest for the modern consumer. It operates on a plane where it is assimilated in tiny soundbites that are quickly digested and moved on. Sound can get lost amongst trying to 'make it' or get likes. Music is not lost though; it exists as it always has and the passion for composing transcendent and transportive tracks exists in an artist like Raffaele Attanasio.

Born to a musician father in his home city of Naples, Attanasio was only satiated when listening to virtuoso maestros like Il Guardiano del Faro and Keith Emerson. Developing his prodigious ear, he trained on drums and then piano and his auspicious ability become apparent early. In his late teens, he ventured into DJing and electronic music production and has garnered plaudits from Jeff Mills, Len Faki and Ben Sims; even performing with Mills in a B2B live set and also Octave One. He found a home within the electronic music community, heading his own label Letter From Jerusalem, and releasing on others, such as Third Wave Black and Non Series. His label even released music from Douglas McCarthy of the band Nitzer Ebb.

What has never been lost on Attanasio is his eclectic flair. His releases span from nefarious techno - even releasing under his X-501 alias - to riveting Detroit inspired dance music with soulful piano. That piano may encapsulate a sound not many may equate to the Italian, but he now threads down a course that garners influences from his native Naples and musicians like Keith Jarret Duke Ellington and even Hans Zimmer. His artistic mould is shaped from by his experiences, and these are laid bare in his jazz-tinged sound on his album Nuovo Futuro, which was released on Axis records. Kaleidoscopic in his quenching of musical thirst, Attanasio keeps music in its purest form. These melodic air vibrations evoke something opaque, yet wildly pulchritudinous, regardless of the audience.
