Fabrizio Lapiana, a well-known fixture in the contemporary Italian techno scene, delivers this week’s Global Vibe Radio mix.
His musical career started in his hometown Rome where he began collecting vinyl and DJ’ing in the early 90s. After being mainly active on the local scene, in 2008 Fabrizio started producing and founded his own imprint, the well renowned Attic Music. The label quickly expanded from hosting just Fabrizio’s work into also releasing other artists fitting his personal definition of techno.
To date Fabrizio has over two handfuls of releases and while Attic Music serves as home to some of these, he has also released on other respected labels such as A R T S, Figure Jams and M_Rec Ltd to mention a few. His productions are often dark and hypnotic, yet at times they have brighter melodious elements, with each of these components smoothly entering as the tracks unfold.
Regardless, playing records to a live audience is still his favourite element. Fabrizio has honed and perfected his deejaying skills for over two decades, therefore being famous for his immaculate mixing technique. To create the setting he prefers, his sets travel from deeper to harder techno, darker pieces are introduced to more melodic ones and acid or old school gems get updated with new unheard-of material – these are some of the key ingredients in Fabrizio’s sets as he creates an intimate journey for the listener.
