Fantono is a Berlin-based DJ with a passion for all things groovy. Deeply immersed in the neo-minimal scene, Fantono draws inspiration from the rich history of techno, house, and tech-house, with roots reaching back to the ‘90s. For him, neo-minimal is more than just a genre—it’s a blend of rhythmic grooves, particularly influenced by the evolution of rominimal and the unique Berlin take on minimal and house music. This distinct sound has its origins in the cultural shift that followed the fall of the Berlin Wall and the legendary days of Bar25.

Though the term minimal might be seen as a misnomer by some, Fantono embraces it as a way to capture a specific feeling, a historical movement, and a community that he’s proud to be a part of. His sets reflect this ethos, blending timeless rhythms with the contemporary flair of Berlin's underground.
