Universal Magnetic with Rawtrachs, Mistapete, Awkward & Sentinel 793 - 24 November 2024

Based between Rome and London. Stefano is conservatory trained and raised on the music of Weather Report and Azymuth, with his recent musical output being fully supported by UK music legend, Colin Curtis. 
Stefano has been a go-to session player in many projects across multiple genres - from jazz to funk, reggae, and pop, and in 2017, he launched the ‘Big Beat’ trio who blended pure jazz with new synth sounds and syncopated drum patterns. Later, in 2020, Stefano teamed up with the drummer, Gaetano De Carli to form Re:Fill. Since then, the duo have taken their music to a further level and developed a brace of imaginative and complex grooves. Gaetano provides a rich musical background to combine with Stefano’s soulful synth-work, balancing the old world and the contemporary. Their first record, ‘Cycles’, was released in June 2022 and features important collaborations with heavy-hitters from the UK’s DJ-producer scene, Ben Hauke and WheelUp.
In October 2022 Stefano released his first solo Ep “Unreachable Galaxy”. The EP showcases Stefano’s diverse palette of sounds where he effortlessly blends a flowing broken beat rhythm section, next level hip hop, future jazz, latin and funk throughout the entire project. 
Engaged in collaborations with various artists, DJs, and labels like Z Records, Stefano continued his solo career in 2023 with releases such as the bossa-infused 'Barra Nova' (7-inch) and the spiritual jazz EP, "A Kind of Prayer."
Entering 2024, Stefano is involved in new projects, with two tracks from the "Unreachable Galaxy" EP set to feature in Jazz Dance Fusion Vol.4 compiled by Colin Curtis, out on Z Records in March.

Broadcasting from the South West of the UK expect a lot of jungle, dub, hardcore and sounds loosely termed "rave".  The more "left field" the better and our selectors try to bring a few less heard cuts to the mix. We love the roots of the scene, respecting  the forefathers and mothers of the music so we'll be dropping some classics  in with the new tracks pushing bass music forward. Alongside the above genres we can't miss out on a good tune so  you'll also hear  acid house, balearic , house and their  evolutionary  offspring  like trip hop, dubstep, d&b, UK Garage and more...

If you have a track that you'd like us to play on  a show please get in touch via a DM. Dubs always welcome!

Immersed in music from an early age, the man like Obsidian Wave was born and raised in London. Coming up through the Jungle and Hardcore era, surrounded by pirate radio and illegal raves, these sounds are interlaced into his heavy, raw brand of techno and breaks to create a cutting edge sound with strong ties to the past.
