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
