Fedele

Exploring the tension between maximal impact and subliminal experimentation, Fedele presents an uncompromising vision of modernist machine music. His sound fuses the edgy sonic tweaking of electro, the motorik thrust of techno and complex emotional expression which draws on his roots as a trained violinist. Hailing from Bari in Southern Italy, Fedele’s career to date has taken in every dimension of the global dance music megastructure, and yet his direction has always been focused on originality and sincerity. As a young local DJ playing hip-hop, RnB and soul, on a voyage of discovery in the peak 00s years of minimal techno and through to his position as an established international artist, the music comes before everything else. His first steps as an active participant within the techno scene were within live, hardware-powered trio Agents Of Time, which led to releases for Jennifer Cardini’s Correspondant, Maceo Plex’s Ellum Audio, Tale Of Us’ Afterlife and on their own Obscura. In a natural evolution, Fedele forged his own path away from the group, releasing his first solo works on Tiga’s Turbo label and retaining Obscura as a platform for his own productions and those of kindred spirits sharing his creative vision. The core of his practice remains an intuitive connection to hardware-based production and performance – an expressive extension of his heart and soul transmitted through circuits and wires and out through the system.
