Simone Liberali Shares His Main Musical 5 Influences

/in , /by

Milan-based DJ and producer Simone Liberali has really made a name for himself following a string of massive releases over the last few years.

The 24-year-old Italian’s productions are distinguished for their powerful, percussive and playful sound, with vocal touches and deep energetic bass lines. In 2018 he performed over 80 gigs across 30 countries as releases on Elrow Music, Saved Records and his smash hit ‘Cant You See’ with Music On Ibiza resident Leon really propelled him into the spotlight.

Coming off the back of a year that saw him perform everywhere from London, Argentina, Ibiza, Colombia, Australia and of course his native Italy, the Detroit Milano resident began the year with an exciting new release, the Vertigo/Ice Blink EP on Chicago’s Incorrect Music, which you can listen to below and find on BeatportHERE.

Noha Shares His Biggest Influences

/in /by

Fresh from massive releases under his Patagonia alias and another on Yoyaku’s Tartouffe label, the Rome-raised, Berlin-based Noha has been enjoying a fine time of it recently. Collaborations with Archie Hamilton as well as his prime role in the Anonymous Souls collective (alongside S.A.M, Per Hammar and Matthew Dekay) would suggest a talent making great waves — and you wouldn’t be far wrong.

Just as comfortable shifting between slick minimal tropes as he is peak-time dancefloor burners, his latest EP, ‘Europa’ really does encapsulate all that’s exciting about one of Italy’s most treasured and respected up-and-comers. Currently, in the middle of a North American tour that’s bringing him to LA and Montreal, he’s a man we’re sure you will be hearing much more from soon.

Here, he outlines for us some of his major influences. Interestingly, they’re not all musicians either…

Lorenzo Magnozzi: 5 Italian Producers Who Have Influenced My Career

/in /by

Eclectic, multifaceted and hypnotic, Lorenzo Magnozzi presents himself with the slogan “music is freedom of introspection.”

For him, music is an elementary presupposition necessary for life, an instrument of liberation and love. He was born in Pisa, a great Italian city for art, in 1992 and fell in love with electronic music very early listening to the old rave recordings of the Italian techno movement of the ’90s and coming into contact with artists such as Sven Ricardo Villalobos, Plastikman, Underworld , and Luciano. Lorenzo took his first steps in the DJ booth around 2006 at the young age of 14, and his passion for music since lead him to fall in love with music traveling to clubs and festivals around Europe, from Frankfurt to Ibiza, from the UK to the Netherlands, and from Spain to France, collecting vinyl records from all over the world, discovering new places, new people and new sounds.

It would be unfair to categorize his sound, it’s an introspection of himself and his constant personal developments. With tracks played and supported by many international artists such as Ricardo Villalobos, Dana Ruh, Raresh, Tobi Neumann and Nastia, Lorenzo has gone on to give life to his record label called Introspection Recordings, launched in 2005 as a platform of and for artists and musicians, a fusion of music and art, a union of all the elements, physical and psychological to create a single identity. His DJ sets are the result of creative and inventive research that can vary from House to Techno, through the most diverse sound atmospheres that create environments where reality overcomes imagination.

We asked Lorenzo to look back at his career and share with us 5 Italian artists he feels have made an indelible impression and influence on who he is today as an artist.
