Dj Ultracore

Biography

I was born in 1963 in Torino (Italy) from Swiss parents, I lived there till the summer 1984 holding an upper artistic school leaving certificate, than I completed my professional training attending the paintings’ restoration institute between Rome and Florence. Definitively returned to Switzerland in 1991, now I manage my little firm of restoration.
Music is my first passion, I started to buy records when I was 13 years old so now I have a small collection of experimental and electronic music from Sun Ra till Aphex Twin.
Before 1990, in Florence I was singer in an hardcore band and I learned the basics of the sound manipulation as sound technician of a Garage rock band.
After the techno infatuation I decide to use my musical culture to become a Dj.
I started with only some little experiences of radio emission in Torino and Florence so I studied the mixing technique and had my first date in Florence in 1995 with the name of Ultracore.
From 1996 to 1998 I was resident dj in a Lugano’s squot also organizing electronic, experimental and jazz music events. In 1998 I joined the Acid Drops Dept. of Torino taking part in several free parties all around Italy.
Now I divide my musical activity between the nord Italian\south French underground tekno movement and some electro\brakebeat clubs in South Switzerland.
