Riccardo Piovesan, born in Treviso (IT), is a polyhedral artist who moves between sound design and live performance.
Fascinated by the art of djing, he gradually arouses his interest in aesthetic developments of sound. The academic background in Visual and Performing Arts led him to elaborate his own voice, seeking to explore different fields of Electronic Music, from techno to IDM. 

Record collector, multimedia format fan and passionate for the unconventional, he had the opportunity to perform all around Europe and Asia including clubs as Tresor, Arma17, About blank or Dude club.

The Berlin based artist is also running his own record label called Last Riot; platform for his most cutting edge developments in sound research, working in the liminal space between art, sound design and new media.

We are into Techno since the early 90s and grew up listening to the music of some great artists like Jeff Mills etc. We decided to set up our own label because we felt the need to express some musical ideas we were developing over the last years. Being really passionate about music we are interested in its technological aspects and we like to integrate in our creation the most recent evolutions: an extended palette of tools may offer more possibilities and we like to experiment with all tools we can find.

This led us to a quite original workflow, were old techniques and gear meet more modern devices, were instruments are used in a non-conventional manner or they are modified or even self-built. Of course we like computers but we still think we can be more creative, obtain better results and have more fun using real hardware instruments, mixing through a real console and printing to tape.

Music is made of sound, it is its primal and essential element: that’s why we focus on the sound, designing every single patch we use and experimenting on till we feel pleased with the result. We have a composite background which evolved over the years but among our disparate influences Detroit Techno plays a seminal role: we feel continously inspired by those masterpieces but we don’t misunderstand our roots with our vision.

We go our own way in music, we pay no attention to trends or cutting-edge beats, we just want to deliver solid, soulful music.

Italian DJ

Straight from Northern Italy, Alessio Meneghello or better known for his moniker Alan Backdrop, has been attracting his listeners through his productions characterized with deep atmospheres and a mixture of genres melted together in the classic, hypnotic and repetitive way of Techno music.
He is the kind of producer that certainly enjoys his studio jam sessions—this is the reason why he spends most of the time in his studio tweaking knobs on synthesizers, recording and experimenting with the aim to capture and create his own sound.
After releasing music on reputable labels over the years, Alan is now releasing music mainly on his own, having already released three well received albums on Bandcamp.

A TECHNO MUSIC event, exclusively powered by the most interesting Italian djs which are paradoxically more famous abroad, even if active in Italy. An event where the audience and the musical and visual artists will meet each other, creating astonishing creative synergies, involving everybody, as if they were little fragments of a totality.
The musical selection and the visuals, selected each time by different artists, will artistically introduce Italian and international social themes to party people.

It’s important to put in evidence the Techno music social roots to understand its subversive social reasons, to sensitize the audience towards a musical phenomenon which would be still actual if socially re-contextualized and thoroughly analysed.

To leave a sign. To create new reflections and discussions. New open minds. To stimulate a renovated critical spirit based on creativity and on the union among individuals.
Because we feel the need of a new fragment/situation to build up a conscious event.
