1981 an eleven year old kid gets a gift, that is the New Life 7 inch by Depeche Mode,
from that very moment the cold beats of drum machines and the alien sounds of
synthesizers are the soundtrack of his life, until today.
Living the eighties as a teenager, he absorbs every futuristic and dark sound as a fan,
new wave, goth, proto EBM, classics like Kraftwerk or Tangerine Dream ...
1987 marks the switch from being pasive to being active, he gets his first synth and
drum machine combo as a christmas gift from their parents, a second hand Kawai Sx
240 keyboard and a Korg kpr 77 drum machine, and starts making his own noises and
beats from scratch. Soon he forms his first music project, called Ballet Mecánico, with
his two fellows Groof and Daniel Erbe.
Heavily synth pop influenced in the beginning, their sound soon moves to darker
territories after discovering Front 242 and Nitzer Ebb and later moving into proto rave
sounds via the Frequencies album by LFO or the Yellow album by Orbital, as well as
those lovely Detroit compilations released in the UK by Network records: Bio Rhythm
and Retro techno amomg others. This project last until the mid nineties and left two
vinyl releases.
1995 is when his solo career as Hd Substance starts, releasing a track on the
Electronic Generators compilation, a showcase of spanish techno pioneers at the
moment, on Geometrik records, home of the seminal industrial cult band Esplendor
Geométrico a stepping stone to his debut album Eleven on the also cult label Elefant
Records.

www.novo-music.com / info@novo-music.com
Since arriving in London at the beginning of the new millennium, Italoboyz, aka Marco
Donato and Federico Marton, have become an essential fixture of the capital’s small
but passionate house/techno/minimal scene. From their notorious back-to-back DJ sets
at FESH (333, London), their reputation has grown to the point where they can now be
found playing regularly across the planet.
However, it’s not just the energy and flair of their DJ sets that has captured the
imagination, Italoboyz releases now on some of today’s most influential minimal-house
/ techno labels like Mothership and Get Physical, after starting to work in 2005/2006
with label like Treibstoff, Einmaleins Musik, Gumption and Safari Electronique.
"When
you realize that without moving there won’t be any change, you move…" explains
Marco, so that’s exactly what they did, swapping their native Italy for London (Marco in
2001 and Fede in 2002), urged on by separate desires to go deeper and get more
involved in electronic music. It was this fusion of minds, with complementary ways of
both absorbing and communicating electronic music that inspired them to team up and
form Italoboyz in 2002.
Since then they haven’t stopped moving forward, obsessively exploring the hybrid
sounds of house and techno through their love of minimalism, acid-house and hi-tech
funk.
Although their sound has always been characterized by organic elements along
with large doses of funk and energy, the distinctive flavor of their productions and DJ
sets is down to a willingness to embrace and explore the various genres and subgenres that develop out of this constantly evolving music.
One of the reasons Italoboyz productions are so well received is the fact that their
musical expression is a fusion of sounds, themes and ideas resulting from over 15
years of music research and DJing experience. Their aim is to deliver the most
modern, cutting edge sound possible but it should still resonate through time, both past
and future, in order to make the immediate experience all the more seductive.
When they were throwing their own parties in 2003/2004 they built up quite a following,
often running all day long from Sunday afternoon till early Monday morning. It’s an
experience that has given them valuable knowledge and insight into the difference
between playing in a ‘peak time’ club environment and a more laid back ‘after hour’
situation where the emphasis is on creating sonic landscapes that morph from easylistening, atmospheric sounds to more dance orientated grooves.
In 2007 there was a surge of events: starting with the “Accendiamo l'ascensore” EP
(feat. Rico Casazza and SozAdams aka MarcAshken) on Gumption Recordings in
February, followed by the release of “Viktor Casanova” - the track with the mysterious
female opera singer - on Claude VonStrokes new label Mothership Music in July 07.
This outstanding track developed into one of the biggest underground club hits of the
last few years, highly supported initially by Villalobos, Dice, Sven Vaeth and Luciano,
and then played in every corner on the planet from every DJ on heart, from house to
techno to electro.
Their next EP on Get Physical Music "Zinga” at the beginning of 2008 was again a
huge club hit and established the guys profile world wide.
After the success of Viktor
Casanova and Zinga there was no way that the Italoboyz could possibly top their own
tracks? Wrong! They created an organic techno masterpiece ’Bahia,’ enlisting the help
of one of the greatest jazz musicians of our time - John Coltrane. Italoboyz vs. Johan
Coltrane “Bahia” is once again a club hit, the third in a row…
After playing at places like Watergate in Berlin, CocoonClub in Frankfurt, The WIRE
festival in Tokyo, the Dissonanze Festival in Rome, in front of 6000 enthusiastically
screaming people at PollerWiesen open Air in Cologne, gigs in the USA, the Middle
East, Africa or Asia, the Italoboyz are handled as one of the hottest and most wanted
newcomer. Their first live set presented in front of hundreds of thousand people at
Loveparade in Dortmund this year is for sure the highlight of their career so
far…
Besides touring Federico and Marco spent every free minute in the studio. They
are working on their next EP for Get Physical Music and also on a full length album
which will be finished for a release next year…
A life ‘without moving’ was never a
serious option for these two…
