Yall, I will be hitting the road around U.S.A., Canada and Mexico during February and March. Be sure to check if I am playing in your city. I did a promotional mix for this tour, which features some new jams + obscure + unreleased + super fresh stuff. Enjoy!

EPIC!

Hello,  I am in Toronto. Me and Felix Cartal are gonna heat up the weather tomorrow at The Social. If you are around here, you know what to do!  I just passed trough Canada customs, probably the best in the world, officers are very nice and chilled out. They check MySpace and Twitter too, so be sure to add/follow em!

Hey, Happy XMas everyone. Just moved out of Milan. I am in Lecce at my parents, relocating all my gear and record collection. The funniest side of this really boring process is finding old records and give em a listen after a lot of time. Lots of them suck, some others rock better than before. Jelly Tones from Ken Ishii is probably the first electronic record I’ve ever heard, it happened in 1998 but the record is actually from 1995. “Extra” is the opening track of this album and sounds to me as the most futuristic music ever even if it’s from 15 years ago.. and yes, probably I am posting this because I am still down with Japan so bad. I remember there was a misunderstanding about the cover of Jelly Tones -- I was obsessed with cartoon/comic Akira so when I saw the record sleeve I was SURE that it was going to be the Akira’s soundtrack. It’s not. It’s just another masterpiece coming from there. NOTE: This video is pretty much violent, hope you don’t care.

Here we go with some classics. I knew A Guy Called Gerald because of his massive acid hit Voodoo Ray. I randomly found the “Emotion Electric” 12″ in a second hand market in Bologna and never expected to like it so much. I thought it was just a b-side of something else.. It actually is an excerpt of his live (!) show at John Peel Sessions in 1989. Well, right now it’s winter time so I guess these warm pads and mellow melodies can heat up your house a lil more. Spacey ambient emo house?

This is a prelisten of the remix I did for Blatta & Inesha. You know them cause we released a whole EP together last spring on Hell Yeah Records. They rock from Sicily and sound like a volcano. Check out my remix on Soundcloud. Its gonna be released in few weeks on La Valigetta Records along with remixes from NT89 and Deathface. Seriously, lots of good friends involved into this release.
