The Minds Great (Sampay & Noetik) Biography
 
Felix Fabrizio & Pietro Campanella two guys Baudour (Mons) started music at the age of 15 years each for their part with very different styles. Felix was more oriented minimal, tech house, techno and retro, while Pietro was more electro house.

While both born in the 90s, so they experienced the evolution of electronic music very closely. They were mixing each of their side when they met, Pietro was then interested more closely to the music of Felix ie tech house, techno and deep house.
 
Felix himself had already done part of the way as a composer by the name of Sampay and had already pulled some tracks on some labels like Ban-off Music, Blackwall Records, when he finally decided to devote himself entirely to composition. Pietro then just ask him for advice on buying instruments.

That's how the two friends have put himself at the composition and ended up spending a lot of time both to share their knowledge and Ableton instruments such as the new AIRA kit Roland.

After many months and many hours of studio, they form their duet "The Minds Great" and end up signing an EP on the Ban-off Music label.

From early breakout hit "Phat Dope Shit" in 2002 to "Heavy Heart", a new collaboration with Skrillex and Fireboy DML, Dice has always been in the headlines. After his debut album "7 Dunham Place" on his own now long-running and well-regarded Desolat in 2008, came the major label follow-up "Underground Sound Suicide" on Ultra Music with guests like Giggs, Just Blaze, and Neneh Cherry, then the agenda-setting and club-focussed house and techno showcase that was "Love Letters" in 2018. 

Add in tens of EPs on Ovum, Minus, Cocoon, to name a few, and his remixes from everyone from Kevin Saunderson to Moby, Black Coffee to Disclosure, Warren G to Basement Jaxx, Loco Dice has always been at the beating heart of the electronic scene. 

His DJ sets, too, always brim with personality, whether in a small underground basement or on an iconic main stage at some of the world's top festivals like EDC Ultra, Tomorrowland and Coachella to name a few, playing to thousands. He has had era-defining residencies at iconic Ibiza super clubs like Circoloco at DC-10 and on the Amnesia Terrace as well at Space Miami. 

His lockdown move has been to unveil En Coleur, a label reserved exclusively for his own music produced at that time. SB Recordings followed. A new label open to all styles of dance music.

Since day one Loco Dice constantly pushes the boundaries of techno and house music production, from his appearance in 2004 PlayStation2 game "Decks & FX" to cooking up his own ideal fusions of hip hop and electronic music with his FKD side project or writing critically acclaimed runway soundtracks for Italian fashion designer Marcelo Burlon during Men’s Fashion Week in Milan for both FW20 and SS20.

Dice's distinctive fashion sense and strong visual aesthetic manifest in his collaborations with Amsterdam fashion label Daily Paper, pro sports hat purveyors New Era and in his own clothing brand Seran Bendecidos. 

All of this and his longevity prove that Loco Dice is undoubtedly an insatiable creative force most interested in the uncharted territory between genres and styles, the elements that link everything together.
