"These records changed my emotional perspective on music." Recorded live at Dekmantel, the Italian techno artist dissects the records that shaped his approach to DJing and production.

There are few artists as widely respected as Donato Dozzy, who is known for his unique approach to building hypnotic, acid-infused atmospheres as a solo artist and as one half of Voices From The Lake. He is also a singular curator at the head of Spazio Disponibile alongside Neel, and a DJ with a reputation for building sophisticated and slowly unwinding sets at festivals like Labyrinth, Terraforma and Horst, as well as in public spaces and museums.

In this Exchange live from Dekmantel 2023, Resident Advisor's editor-in-chief, Whitney Wei, asks Dozzy about the songs that shaped his craft in our Playing Favourites flagship series. He takes us back to his childhood, playing the first track that introduced him to electronic music before moving chronologically through his life and the pieces that acted as lynchpins in his creative development. He discusses how he grew up in a musical household, listening to classical orchestrations with his parents before finding Italo disco and the stylings of Giorgio Moroder, Lory D and The Future Sound of London. These albums, he says, influenced how he builds his sets, leaning into slowly unfolding narratives as he moves from one track to another. "When I started releasing albums, I decided that I wanted to create stories," he says. Listen to the episode in full.

Tracklist:
Franco Battiato - Summer on a Solitary Beach
Giorgio Moroder - The Chase
Lory D - Abrupt Interruption
The Future Sound of London - Cascade
Kruder & Dorfmeister - DJ Kicks 1996
Mike Parker - Dispatches
Die Woodys - Fitchtl's Lied
Verde Prato - Nina Sonando
Donato Dozzy - Valentina

This mix was recorded in June 2000, 3 days after the first DEMF. I had just moved into a different place in Detroit, and the last items left in my old downtown apartment were 2 Technics, a tape deck, hi-fi amp + speakers, and a Numark DM-1550 rotary mixer from the 80s. In those days I'd been going out to see Theo Parrish + KDJ play small loft parties around town, and was listening to a ton of old WBMX/WGCI radio mixes and Ron Hardy Music Box recordings......this session, each side recorded directly to cassette in one take, is a reflection of those circumstances and influences.

Big one here. DJ Winggold was joined in the Netil studio this month by none other than the legendary @itsallhalal, purveyor of all things deep and hypnotic. A regular at the most esteemed dancefloors across the globe, she's known for her intuitive sets traversing a wide spectrum of sounds, all tied together by contrasts between dark, dreamy and atmospheric. 

A true multidisciplinary artist, she runs the Mutual Dreaming party series and label, founded North American festival Sustain Release and is also known for her fearsome, shapeshifting live sets. 

Live and direct from the studio, she contributed a typically stellar mix, bringing a lush and deep selection of techno and electro before DJ Winggold heated things up with an expansive set of ravey, psychedelic bass and techno. It's a special one x

Unbound Riddims w/DJ Winggold & Aurora Halal - October 8th, 2023

"The lights went off and we decided to start."
We are deeply excited to share Donato and Marco’s grand finale for the last edition of Terraforma at Villa Arconati. With great humbleness, these two masters and dear friends have carefully broadened and lulled, record after record, an intimate space of trust, exchange and deep-time connection. 
 
Also, we’d like to add a fond memory that was shared with us a few days after:

“Dozzy and Shuttle’s finale unfolded like twilight. A prolonged dusk caressed by an eerie drizzle. Shadows and whispers echoing with the surroundings. Synapses slowly reaching the ground, merging and becoming one with the underground rhizomatic networks. A memorable rendez-Nous within a fractal space. It felt like being at the core center of the matrix, enveloped by a warmth reminiscent of a maternal womb. I found myself in a weightless suspension, envisioning the past, the present and the future, all together in a blink of an eye.”

We are fueled by gratitude for all this beauty.

Yoshi Nori, who has been pursuing his own unique funkiness based on his diverse cultural background, tookover the stage at the time leading up to dusk at the Indoor stage, which has been open since the sun came up without stopping the sound. This is the pure rave house set ranged from deep house that gently enveloped the body to sometimes intense electro, with emotional development sprinkled.

多様な文化背景を基にして、独自のファンクネスを追求してきたYoshi NoriがIndoorステージの夕暮れに繋がる時間に登壇。身体を優しく包み込むようなディープハウスから、時には激しいエレクトロまで、随所にエモーショナルな展開も散りばめられた純粋なレイヴ仕様のハウスセット。

Smoke Machine Podcast 032 Nuel

Jane Fitz (@janefitz) is, by and large, one of my absolute favorite DJ's on this planet, and her invitation to do an (almost) all-night long B2B was something I absolutely could not pass up. I chose to meet her on her medium as well and carted over a couple cases of vinyl for us to play all wax for the entire set - something I've also not done in a long time and thoroughly miss. 

Here's three of the six hours we did together for your enjoyment. No tracklist will be available because...honestly...I don't even know what we played - hahah! ENJOY!!!
