FEDELE (IT)

Originally from Bari, South of Italy, Fedele Ladisa is part of the emerging wave of DJs and producers who are eager to explore new territories of electronic music. Since his youth, when he learned how to play with instruments such as piano and violin, music has always been his mission. In 2006, he entered the universe of DJing and started performing in dierent clubs around Italy. With Hip Hop, R’N’B, Soul, and Nu-Disco music as initial backgrounds, he soon developed an ever-growing and free-spirited interest in House and Techno’s unpredictable variety of soundscapes. His penchant for electronic music drove him to master the universe of synthesizer techniques and drum machines and to start making his own music.Following an enthusiastic debut release “No Mercy for Beginners” on the Canadian label Turbo, he decided to quit the ambitious project Agents of Time in which he was the frontman for 7 years, and to go on his own.He further enriched his ongoing solo career releasing music on Ellum Audio, Obscura which he owns now, and several remixes for some of the biggest acts in the electronic scene such as GOOSE, Stephan Bodzin, etc.Running also his electro alter ego Sharp Felon to explore sonorities in which danceoor-oriented substance and underground-driven spirit are the key engines to dene the strict rules and standardized areas of electronic dance musicality, he released his rst record “Let The Game Begin” on Lone Romantic.The result of those big achievements led him to perform at internationally recognized festivals as well as infamous clubs around the globe and to receive massive support from the likes of Maceo Plex, Tiga, Tale of Us, Dixon, John Digweed, Miss Kittin, Dj Stingray, etc.Driven by devotion for the underground pioneers and a yearning for forward-thinking sounds, Fedele’s own DJ sets herald a stream of compelling and emotive beats and textures, always irrespective of the preconceived mainstream inclinations.
