"Syncope is a transient loss of consciousness, rapid onset, short duration, and spontaneous resolution." In this brief medical description of the syncope phenomenon is summed the basic concept of the project Synkopheit.”

Synkopheit is a project by Paolo Pizzuto, born in Milan, living in Berlin.

In Berlin, the city where more than anywhere else the concept of free-parties is close to that of clubbing, Synkopheit grounds a techno project, strongly linked both to his interest in the dancefloor and in the developing of different states of consciousness .

In 2011 Synkopheit meets Madalba , a decisive encounter that will bring, three years later, to the grounding of their label Arkita Records.

Is on Arkita Rec. that he releases in 2015 his first solo EP “Last edge of realism” along with other productions under the name of Synkomad a.k.a. Synkopheit & Madalba, including the recent released remix Riflor for the Berlin based techno duo I/Y.

His sets, exclusively live, are composed by a fusion of analogue and digital systems and with performances that can reach and exceed 2 hours time. He frequently performs at Homopatik, one of the most significant parties in the Berlin's techno scene and at Resonanz, an event in progress taking place in the heart of Berlin´s underground landscape. He also experienced the delight of playing in the oldest Berlin’s famous squats as Tacheles and Köpi.
