Digging Deeper with Markantonio
Markantonio is one of the leading and renewed DJs of the international techno scene. A flagship artist in his native Naples, Markantonio started playing with decks at the tender age of fifteen, and only four years later his talent exploded at the feet of Vesuvius! In then late ’90s Markantonio’s name and music spread around and he became a leading fixture on Naples’ most exciting parties, as well as labels such as Recycled Loops, Shake Rec, Tortured, Conform, Superbra, and more.
Fast-forward twenty years to today and Markantonio has still got it. In the decades that have passed he has played a pivotal role in furthering the techno scene of Napoli and Italy, giving a first platform to many of the artists that have since emerged from his home city.
The new release on Markantonio’s label AnalyticTrail is a three track techno EP and a collaboration between the label boss himself and Atroxx. This EP, entitled Octave Shift, is a showcase example of why Markantonio has maintained his cutting edge status for all this time.
With so much history to talk about, 6AM had an expansive chat with the producer and label boss to discuss his story, the influence of his label over the years and much more
Premiere: Markantonio and I Am Bam Collaborate for This And That Lab’s New Various Artists Series
Davide Squillace‘s label This And That Lab is proud to launch a new series of seasonal Various Artists releases and this first edition features tracks from a broad cross section of artists including Markantonio, SIS, 8281 and Althoff.
There are planned to be four editions of this series a year, each one split into two volumes as “Part A” and “Part B”. With a focus on textures both audible and visual, there is a keen focus on design, and each release will be a combination of fresh talent plus veteran artists.
Matching the four seasons of the year, the series is titled “Spring Summer Fall Winter” and each release has been handpicked by Davide Squillace.
This promo includes Part A of the first edition which opens with our premiere featuring Italian techno don Markantonio, whose releases on label’s ranging from Drumcode to his own AnalyticTrail. Working in collaboration with I Am Bam (Bunny Tiger / Flashmob) their tribal tech house track breaks away from Markantonio’s usual style, and it’s up-tempo vibe sets the dancefloor focused tone for the rest of the LP.
