«Following an invitation from Luca Bigote, I had the opportunity to reflect on my journey as a producer, not just as a DJ, although DJing is still the part I enjoy the most.

Looking back, I realise that I’ve made a lot of music, especially for Flexi Cuts, that still resonates with me and comes back to the light in a truly authentic and powerful way, even years later.

This mix is made of my own productions from the last decade, and combines tracks that have stayed with me over the years with others that deserve to be rediscovered. I hope you enjoy listening!»

«Recorded with two turntables, a rotary mixer and the right mood, this mix moves through house, dub, dub techno and leftfield electronics.

The selection blends percussive rhythms, deep basslines and hazy synth textures, alternating older records with lesser-known cuts and more contemporary tracks. A slow-paced and groove-driven session built for both home listening and the dancefloor.»

«This mix was inspired by Haruomi Hosono’s “Femme Fatale” and it reinterprets its atmosphere through a contemporary club music lens.

Blending Japanese artists and Japan-influenced sounds from the 1980s and 1990s with contemporary tracks, the mix unfolds as a fluid journey through fusion, crossover elements that evoke a distinctly Japanese mood. And while the mix is comfortable to listen to in a relaxed setting, it is also designed to work on a dancefloor, with a gentle groove and a playful flow.»
