Daniele Papini: 12435 - Dreamcast 19
12/06/2012 Duration: 01h06minWhen it comes to Daniele Papini it is impossible to separate the man from the musician. Every step Daniele has taken in his life is in time to the beat of the music he was hearing and producing during that specific moment; his childhood as a classical pianist; his teenage years growing up on the London squat scene, as the bassist in a punk band; the instant love affair when he first encountered techno in 1998, embracing the radical anti-conformist message of the early rave-scene, traveling worldwide blasting the system from his huge wall of sound, to his early club residencies in Florence; all these encounters have given him the richly textured eclectic sound that he has honed today, that he brings to his live sets, to Sleep is Commercial and to studio productions made in Berlin, his home since 2006. Daniele's home is in fact just one big studio. Love at first sight with techno brought him into contact with his other great passion in life: music production. A chance meeting with Alen Sforzina in Croatia in 2

13/12/2010 Duration: 01h15minMusic that moves both your feet and your feelings has been a long-standing preoccupation of dj and producer Matteo Spedicati. His first influence was his dad, who played his eager young son records from his vast collection. Listening, the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end, and Matteo soon realised that this crazy strong response could only be delivered by music. Like many teenagers. Matteo, on guitar, formed a garage band with his friends in Calgari. Unlike his peers, Matteo began to compose his own songs, score the other instruments, and experiment with musical software, adding electronic sounds and effects when he produced the bands demos.
