Sonar Sessions 2008

Nature Records, Rome

Rome's latest techno electro star-in-the-making describes his sound as "dance, analog, '80s and dirty." Though Warp was his first love and Dopplereffekt's Gerald Donald his favourite producer, we clearly hear the influence of Roman colleagues Marco Passarani, Francisco and Raiders Of The Lost ARP, meaning they must have shared a few pizzas together, or at least one very tasty carbonara. Using Ableton Live (what else?), his live set will have your feet jacking and your cellulite wobbled away by wiggling Moog phatty basslines, analog synth stabs and techno funk from the future. Zoom in, zoom out!
