TC PODCAST W/ VALENTINØ

Valentinø is the alias of Italian DJ and producer Valentino Marchiori, based in Genoa, Italy. The founder of Mantra Club since 2016 in the suburbs of the city, he also runs his own label, Overtime Records.

His label and others have provided a platform for his trademark sound incorporating hypnotic melodies and frenetic rhythms within the techno and Psy-Trance genres.

The son of a musician, his games as a child were instruments that his father had at home or in the studio. He developed skills from a young age, which he then channelled and fine tuned into electronic music, and the journey began.

Valentinø’s very first single ‘Activity’ appeared in 2017, on Marco Bailey’s Materia label as part of a VA, which lead to his debut follow up EP ‘My Way’. After its success, and notable support from colleagues, he secured releases on Etruria Beat, Suara, Second State, Off Recordings and Galactica Festival’s label.

Now part of the ARTCORE family, he played for the labels OFFSonar showcase in Barcelona, but he has already amounted a lot of key club plays for Fabrik Madrid, Cocorico, ilMuretto, Khidi Tiblisi, Spazio 900, Barrakud Festival, Complex Maastricht, Complex, and a debut at Amnesia Ibiza alongside Indira in the Club Room for her takeover as part of Joseph Capriati's Metamorphosis party.

Looking ahead, he has secured a new residency with Bologia Club, one of the most renowned Northian Italian venues, and will be starting his own festival, called Enigma, with his mission to curate a special line up with scenography effects.
