(Blow Down) Drones

Playing guitar since i was 13, brainwashed from rock to punk to metal to hip hop, i started to enjoy electronic music listening to some industrial bands like Test Dept, Godflesh, Nine Inch Nails in the first '90s. Suddently i got involved in the first wave of electronica, Future Sound Of London, Orb, AFX etc; after i went to my first free party/festival my mind started to become opened to many new worlds; heavy influeneced by that whole movement, i got a drum machine and started to make some electronic music attempts around '97 and my first autoproduction in '99. Realized another autoproduction in 2000/2001, mainly experimental techno stuff; finally i joined Hydrophonic Records label from Milan, run by my friend Alessandro Skeeme, and started a long and still active collaboration making some techno industrial vynils like the 'connections eps 1 and 2'. The two completely mine 12"  'Masters of legalized Confusion' (2003) and 'Obscure Fairytales' (2007) can be described like this: hard edged drumrolls, variable synth grooves, changing melodies, abstract sounds bleeping in and out. I made a split album with Mechanic Willow on Idroscalo Records, Rome, run by Antonella Pintus, called 'Niente Di Nuovo Sotto Il Sole', a couple of  punching technoid electrobreaks industrial tracks, made in "the spirit of AFX taking a holiday in Italy". While taking the SAE course in Milan i met some good friends that were starting the project of making a sound system; i joined them and the whole thing has been called Untravelled Ground. Emiliano Pilloni (PilloPlex) and me started our indie electronic label Untravelled Ground Records (UNG) in 2007 and made 3 vynils and 1 cd, producing Pilloplex (Changing Doctor ep), Synthe.Labo (Blackened Happy Sheep ep), Intiman (Drug Dealers ep) and a collaboration project of me and Enzo Sarteur called 'Iron Steel Art', all with the support of the Music Lab studio for final mixes and masterings. 
2013: 'Transitions' Lp on Hydrophonic Records: a mixture of techno and electronic infuences, divided into a vinyl Lp (more groovy/acid stuff) and a digital release (more focused on my own thought about electronic mucic).
Since 2000 i developed a particular style that is a mixture of many influences: techno, electro, breakcore, idm and clubbish stuff; i have difficulties to describe my music, anyway i shifted from tekno to more break and experimental to more downtempo techno and electronica. Nowadays i'm both into groovish and mental or more experimental stuff; as some friends of mine say, even if i make an house track it's clear that i have 'warpish electronica' roots....and anyway eclecticity is the keyword.
