  their own biography

  the whole biography

  Francesco Farfa has got his groove back. In recent times, the Italian DJ has found himself re-energised once again, back in love with electronic music and right back at the sharp end of the underground scene. A true digger and sound obsessive, Farfa comes armed with decades of experience and musical appreciation, but now with a fresh perspective that means he is once again doing what he does best: turning musical emotions and compelling rhythms into dance floor art. The Florence born DJ first started playing as far back as the 90s, laying down vital sets of funk, disco and proto-house sounds. His deck skills and rare knack for selection and sequencing meant he soon became one of Italy’s most famous DJ exports, with his unique skills earning him sets at some of the most prestigious night venues and festivals, such as Space (Ibiza), Amnesia (Ibiza), E-Werk (Berlin), Vinyl (New York), Sonar (Barcelona), Love Parade (Berlin), Monegros (Fraga), Street Parade (Zurich),Tenax (Firenze) and many more. From a production perspective, Farfa has released on the likes of Air Trance , Rising High , Memento, Souvenir and Serial Killer, always evolving with each new 12″. Timeless sounds that always leave an impression, Farfa’s records have earned a renaissance of late thanks to the support of numerous high-profile players from the scene. Farfa’s music has been called everything from psychedelic techno to cyber-trance, but it is impossible to truly define, with Farfa instead going in whatever direction his heart takes him. Hugely respected in his native country, Farfa has influenced a whole host of Italian DJs (and not only). Francesco Farfa is now where he belongs: deep in the underground, playing challenging and unpredictable sets of slick and sleek house, techno and minimal.

  the whole biography

  Italian DJ and producer based in Berlin, Francesco Hamsa has built his identity through a deep connection to underground electronic music and vinyl culture. Originally from Riccione in Italy, his passion for music started early through the study of piano and percussion, before discovering the world of electronic music at the legendary Cocoricò club back in early 2000. That experience sparked a lifelong dedication to club culture. Hamsa vision aims to preserve and create culture within the electronic music scene at a time when the underground spirit of clubbing is increasingly disappearing, emphasizing that music and music culture go beyond commercial value and are rooted in artistic expression and community. Since relocating to Berlin in 2012, Francesco has immersed himself in the city’s underground scene, where he began producing while also performing as a resident for REEF at Griessmuehle, Utopie, and More Now parties under a different alias. Strongly focused on vinyl and his sets are carefully crafted journeys where rhythm, atmosphere, and experimentation merge on the dancefloor. His productions, shaped by 90s aesthetics and early Italian progressive sounds, are defined by a persistent rhythmic drive, intricate and evolving sound design, and a strong sense of forward motion. Arrangement plays a central role in his work, with continuously developing structures that keep tension, movement, and emotion in constant interplay. He has released music on labels including Enchanted Rhythms, Ecke Records, and Nollern. In 2023, Hamsa co-founded Musek Records alongside Italian electronic pioneer Francesco Farfa and mix engineer Denio Barani. Since then, the label has hosted regular events at Club der Visionaere during the summer and Hoppetosse in winter, alongside Italian residencies in collaboration with Wax4Breakfast and Archivio 180. The label, now at its third release selling over 3,000 vinyl copies and establishing itself as a platform for forward-thinking electronic music and artistic freedom.
