Italian producer Andrea crafts a sound blending Ambient, Electronic, IDM, and ’90s Breakbeat with forays into Bass and Dubstep. His performance features emotive melodies, abstract sounds, and complex layers of drums and atmospheric pads, oscillating between experimental and dancefloor vibes to merge rhythm with ethereal ambiance.
Originally from Turin, Andrea draws inspiration from his hometown in his compositions, echoing its post-industrial spirit. His eclectic taste in music, developed from a childhood passion for collecting vinyl records across genres like new wave, post-punk, reggae, and dub, informs his approach to production. His music is a sophisticated blend of IDM, ’90s breakbeat, with forays into warehouse techno, house, bass, and dubstep, crafted through years of exploring.
Launched in the year 2000, MUTEK is dedicating itself to the presentation of live electronic music and real-time audiovisual performance, making it one of the rare outlets in North America for such innovations. After 20 years, the festival’s future-seeking mandate has matured—and while the promise has in many ways caught up with the present—its commitment to the ongoing mutations and variations of contemporary digital creativity remain, with its eyes and ears still fixated on what comes next.
