Come early on 4/19 to hear @johnniekrasz & @alliehankins set the stage for the evening.

Lover of cheap vinyl, producer of exquisitely odd records, and mind-bending conversationalist— MADTEO is an electronic music personality like no other. Matteo Ruzzon is an Italian-born, Queens-based DJ and producer renowned for his unconventional approach to electronic music. His work defies easy categorization, seamlessly weaving together elements of hip-hop, soul, disco, house, and techno with a streetwise edge that sets him apart from more avant-garde electronic artists. With a penchant for lo-fi aesthetics and unpredictable sample manipulation, his tracks often feel like found artifacts— glitchy, groovy, and deeply immersive. Originally hailing from the Veneto region of Italy, Ruzzon’s musical journey began to take shape during his teenage years when he moved to the United States. His early experiences included a student exchange at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, where he was first introduced to dub and reggae—genres that laid the groundwork for his eclectic taste. Later, after stints in Texas and a move to New York in 1994, he immersed himself in the city’s vibrant music scene, refining his skills as both a DJ and producer. His productions, which began gaining attention with releases on labels like Morphine and Lanquid in 2007 and 2008, have since found homes on imprints such as Workshop, Hingefinger, Sähkö, Nuearth Kitchen, Wania and DDS. His discography, available on platforms like Discogs and Bandcamp (where he’s made much of it free to access), showcases this evolution, with standout works like “Noi No” often recommended as an entry point. Beyond music, Ruzzon’s story is one of cultural synthesis. His prolonged time away from Italy underscores a life lived between worlds, balancing his Italian heritage with a determined New York identity. While not the most prolific in terms of release frequency, his relentless creative process has earned him admiration from labels and fans alike, cementing his status as a cult figure in underground music circles. @m_a_d_t_e_o_ will be performing both a live and a DJ set on 4/19.
