Bio
I’m born in a little town in north east of italy, udine, on january 22 in the year 19….well….really…….mmm i don’t remember..
My astrological sign is aquarius and since my early years i was very attracted from all the artistic expressions of life, especially music.
My mother used to listen much much music and she gave to me a special kind of imprinting making me love this kind of aural emotion.
I especially liked to listen to the medium and short waves radios trying to discover the inner secrets of this incredible media and so, year after year, i accumulate a great experience and i developed a special taste both in quality of music and how to spread this kind of emotional stuff with the help of the airwaves.
Quickly i gained a great and deep respect and consideration for my musical sensibility and for my specific knowledge of artists discography between my friends and so become normally for me to be charged to be the dj, to put up the records in my teenage birthday parties.
In the same years i become to collect records.
In those years i was absolutely involved in rock music. With a small tape recorder, a gift from my father, i collected many registration of a legendary radio station that i listened every night. On the medium wave band, with the help of an atmospherical phenomenon called “propagation”, i was able to listen, on 208 meter, the magic radio luxemburg. Bob stewart, tony prince, kid jensen and many many others legendary djs that were my teachers as for my radio knowledge and as for my musical culture.
That are for me really wonderful memories.
Another incredible dj that has been a model for me was herbert pagani that from the old radio montecarlo (based in montecarlo) and from radio capodistria made a fantastic radio show called muratti ambassador show.
So i must express my maximum respect for those teachers!
Well, coming back to the records, my first one was the who – live at leeds.
At present i have near a 10.000 selected vinyl records collection, with many rarities, limited editions and very hard to find stuff. Obviously i have rock, punk and new wave albums, mix and singles (not counted in the 9.000) but the main part is dedicated to the house music, especially deep, dub and underground, with many obscure gems and jewels.
In 1972 and 1973 i’ve had two little experiences on radio on the regional broadcast of the rai, but my real start was in 1975, september 1st , when, in my city, began its life radio friuli, the first (illegal in those days) commercial radio station. At half past five in the afternoon i was in front of a microphone starting my real radio dj career with a rock music show called help, whose starting song was “autobahn” by kraftwerk.
I has been always very sensible to all the musical news coming from uk and usa, i was a weekly reader of melody maker and new music express, so, in the same year, i discovered the beginning of the punk phenomenon, a new beginning for the rock music.
I started almost immediately to propose this kind of music, with tracks from the sex pistols, eddie and the hot rods, the damned and many many others artists.
At the end of 1976, beginning of 1977, i changed radio and began to work on a station called canale 49, with a radio show specifically dedicated to punk music titled “sex, drugs and rock’n roll”.
My next step was on another radio station called rdf with the music which was the natural evolution of punk, the so called new wave, with the massive use of electronic instrument and danceable rhythms.
On 1983, in my city,some friends founded a new radio station, radio italia network, who shortly will become the most important network in italy dedicated to dance music first, and then to house.
I worked in this radio just from the beginnin
