New Digital Fidelity

2 listings in 2 named rooms, over the last three years · one ahead · London

Paolo Aniello, aka New Digital Fidelity (NDF), is a London-based producer and DJ whose work channels the lineage of deep house and Detroit techno into a distinctly modern framework. Originally from Bari in Southern Italy, his early exposure to deep and Detroit house continues to shape a sound defined by groove, machine soul, and restrained futurism.

Aniello’s production career began in 2011 with a vinyl release on Strictly Chosen under the alias Peter JD. He later co-founded a Detroit-focused label with long-time collaborator Nico Lahs, working closely with key figures such as Scan 7, Pacou, and Terrence Dixon—an experience that anchored his approach in the genre’s core traditions.

Since relocating to London in 2017, Aniello has focused on his New Digital Fidelity project, debuting on the German imprint Snuff Trax. His catalogue has since expanded through collaborations and releases connected to Chez Damier, Balance Alliance, Jenifa Mayanja, Michael Zucker, Finale Sessions, and RDV Music, reflecting a network that bridges US and European underground scenes.
