Together, they have produced and remixed over 50 original songs and tracks spanning the realms of House and Techno. Their collaborative efforts have solidified their reputation within the electronic music scene.
In the early nineties, Marco embarked on his musical journey as a disc jockey, captivated by the emergence of Electronic music and Afrocentric rhythms. Following his introduction to the scene, he initiated his own House music and Techno events under the banner of Urban People, spanning various locations throughout Italy.
This marked the inception of Marco's influential contribution to the electronic music field, as he delved deeper into the realms of sound exploration and event curation.
Marco's prowess on the decks swiftly garnered recognition, leading to a coveted residency at Pacha in Egypt.
This pivotal role not only elevated his status within the industry but also opened doors to international DJ bookings, propelling him on a musical odyssey across the planet. The recognition garnered during his residency at Pacha served as a springboard for Marco's journey, as he embarked on a mission to share his musical talents with audiences spanning continents.
Hailing from Torino, Italy, Stefano exhibited remarkable musical aptitude from a young age. Immersed in the world of melody by his parents, he fervently pursued his passion for music, delving into classical piano, percussion, and drums with unwavering dedication. His repertoire ranged from the emotive compositions of Chopin to the vibrant rhythms of West African Djembe, reflecting his eclectic musical tastes and influences.
Through his commitment to musical exploration and mastery, Stefano cultivated a rich tapestry of musical proficiency that would later shape his contributions to the electronic music scene. As Stefano matured, his fascination with music evolved, gravitating towards the electrifying allure of the electronic DJ commanding the crowd.
Little did he anticipate that the pulsating electronic beats, often elusive on Italian radio stations in the '90s, would herald a transformative chapter in his life's journey. Hauled in by the magnetic energy of electronic music, Stefano found himself irresistibly drawn to its hypnotic rhythms and immersive sonic alchemy.
Amidst their current success, Marco and Stefano remain grounded in their humble origins. Recently, they've revisited some of their earlier tracks, demonstrating a commitment to honouring their musical roots. Additionally, they've established a Bandcamp page to distribute their works, underscoring their dedication to preserving their artistic legacy.
Their House Music radio and Techno radio show, Electronic Roots, serves as a platform to showcase key artists from across the Asian region. Through this initiative, Marco and Stefano not only celebrate the diverse talent within the Asian electronic music scene but also foster connections and collaborations within the global musical community.
