Let’s start the weekend with this mix by @fabrizio.lapiana on @hate_collective . Enjoy it! /q3CboDWqkoVcAQWB9 Booking: [email protected]

We are honored to add another techno gem to our roadster. @fabrizio.lapiana , iconic figure of contemporany Italian techno. Based in Berlin, dj and producer since 90’s, boss of @atticmusic There aren’t many musicians who manage to explore the convergence of techno roots, hypnotic grooves, Detroit sounds and future synths in such an authentic and personal way. Fabrizio Lapina’s complex sonic aesthetic tests boundaries, engaging the dance floor on a purely techno journey, tirelessly evolving in his exploration of texture, rhythm and sound design. Always present on the techno scene, promoter and activist, also known for his tireless contribution to the spread of the movement and artistic research through his wonderful label Attic. His musical career started in his hometown Rome where he began collecting vinyl and DJ’ing in the early 90’s. To date Fabrizio has over two handfuls of releases, Attic Music serves as home to some of these, but also other respected labels such as ARTS, Figure Jams and beloved M-Rec Ltd to mention a few. His productions are often deep and hypnotic, yet at times they have brighter melodious elements, with each of these components smoothly entering as the tracks unfold. However playing records to a live audience is still his favourite element. Fabrizio has honed and perfected his deejaying skills for three decades now, therefore being famous for his immaculate mixing technique. To create the setting he prefers, his sets travel from deeper to harder techno, mental pieces are introduced to more groovy ones and hypnotic or Detroit gems get updated with new unheard material – these are some of the key ingredients for Fabrizio while creating an intimate journey for the listener. Many the renowned clubs where He performed worldwide: Berghain, Tresor, Bassiani, Khidi, Concrete and Basement NY just to mention few. We are happy to start this journey with him.

We wish you a good day with this sick mix by @wizardkdj for @dixrupt_ Tune in: /dixrupt/dixruptcast-106-wizard-k-vinyl-session

Two more masters are added to our roadster. An incredible and almost symbiotic performance that of @wizardkdj , 4 turntables, chronometric movements and an uncompromising techno sound, Aldo and Corrado have been sharing the stages for decades now. Vinyl purists since the mid-90s, Wizard K is a project to 4 hands and 4 turntables with a set exclusively on vinyl mixing tracks and tools of techno. Sound substrates, percussion overlays, hypnotic textures, make their sets an unmissable musical trip, a sound-tunnel. Their vaunted experience spanning several decades is summed up in all the respect they now enjoy in the scene. Never boring for the audience, they create an unexpected but linear fusion of true techno, between past and future. Resident djs for Silencio events in Rome-Italy. We are really happy to be able to promote their performance. Booking: [email protected]

Let’s welcome December with this crazy mix from @cvo1 ! Recorded in the Nights of @silencio_events for the @diesekte.rec podcast series. Link: /diesekte-rec/003-conrad-van-orton-x-die-sekte

Base Artists is happy to welcome Italian techno DJ/producer Conrad Van Orton (@cvo1 ). Growing up in the roman suburbs he shaped his music taste bouncing between his parents’ record collection, 90’s underground italian hip-hop scene and radio listening and cassette recording sessions from techno and club music focused local radio stations. We can define CVO as an absolute master of techno, but with no fixed style owning the the ability to create a unique sound space without losing the genre’s oomph or edge. He says that his first love was house music, which can perfectly capture its sound contaminations. In 2007 he began to focus on productions until releasing music for some of the best techno labels, KEY Vinyl, Emerald, Polegroup, Attic Music, Counterchange, Modularz, 30D, Nachtstrom Schallplatten. CVO pays homage to old school techno by infusing a contemporary twist creating a whirlwind of emotions for listeners of various age groups. Raw and fast paced grooves infused in ethereal, deep, sometime liminal atmospheres. From 2024 he’s resident at Silencio nights, Rome. Conrad Van Orton DJ and LIVE Sets will be represented by Lorenzo: [email protected]

This fusion results in something unique. Their productions play in the best clubs and festivals around the world, supported by a huge number of international artists. Their live performances are achieved through a symphony of synthesizers, samplers and drum machines. Their music arrives directly and is a riot of emotions, involving the audience in a crazy way.
