About Fabio:

I began as a dj at 15 years old, in 1977, when the myth  of the dj and disco music was bursting. In 1986 I opened my record store with Cristina “Disco Inn”, and from 1986 till 1998 we managed the Italian Branch of DMC, Disc Mix Club, that in Italy alone has ammased over 700 djs, organizing every year the Italian DJ Competition. With DMC, these djs have become famous in Italy and abroad. Like Andrea Gemolotto, Zappala Francesco, Claudio Coccoluto and Daniele Davoli.In 1996 the DMC Italia/Disco Inn became the first country outside of England to organize the World DJ DMC Champion, in Rimini during the NIGHTWAVE. In 1988 I produced my first record along with DJ Herbie “Atomico” and “Atomic House”, the second one with the collaboration of the musician Marco Bongiovanni former bass player of Gaznevada. In 1989 with our label Wicked & Wild we signed the first single “Think About” as DJ H featuring Stefy to “Perfecto/Bmg ” with the help of Paul Oakenfold. In 1990 we entered the English charts. With the following singles ‘I Like It’ and ‘Come On Boy’, (also remixed by Larry Levan) we reached the Top 10 of the Japanese charts and thus began a great era……the nineties!. In 1991 I released and distributed, along with co-editor Daniele Boagno and graphic producers De Mitri-Di Gioia, Disco Mix, the very first Italian DJ Fanzine of Dance/House Music. It is still one of the most read fanzines amongst djs, record producers and record managers. In 1993 we produced Playahitty – “The Summer Is Magic”, that reached Top Ten Charts all around the World. In 1996 we signed for Italy ‘I Love America’ from the UK hit duo Full Intention. The next step was the opening of two further records stores, one in Bologna and one in Riccione. Then other two important persons became part of my team: Sergione and Dan Mela that were universally known for the own productions.

About that time I started to create and coordinate several labels for my dj-friends: the trio Claudio Coccoluto, Savino Martinez and Dino Lenny started The Dub Records with the fantastic release ‘Belo Horizonti’ by The Heartists (that was licensed by Basement Jaxx label (Atlantic Jaxx) and remixed by David Morales for Virgin; then was the time of Crossover Records with the production of Alex “Party” Natale and the releasing of Gloria Gaynor single ‘Oh What A Life’; later came the new experience with PastaBoys (DJ Uovo, DJ Rame and Dino Angioletti) with the PastaBoys and ManoCalda labels: on that label came productions from Andrea Gemolotto, Mass Collective, Guido Nemola, Street Vibes, Flavio Vecchi, Sicania Soul, plus several club hits by Pasta Boys (we licensed ‘Let The Sunshine In ‘ to SONY UK). From a collaboration with Dan Mela (Streetvibes) and Andrea Gemolotto came out ‘Walking’, released with Sony. Then Dan Mela and I opened StreetVibes US (distribuited worldwide by NorthCott Distribuition) .More recently our US releases are distributed by Unique (MANOCALDA US) and among these ‘Limit’ and ‘Body Resonance’ by PastaBoys are the latest ones. Other collaboration was the personal creation of a label for Andrea Gemolotto Stordisco).xxxxxx Then a production created as Par-T-One, ‘I’m So Crazy’ brought a nomination for the Dance Music Award in 2002 (released in UK with DMI/Credence and in US through Subliminal). Another club hit with Sergione called 3rd Face was ‘Canto della Liberta’, licensed in England by Classic with remixes by Derrick Carter.xxx Another two labels of mine were Nu-Tella and Magneti Marelli, where, along with Dino Lenny, I released ‘Call Me’ a crossover released by Dino that became one of the most played records on the Italian Radios, and ‘Bucci Bag’ by Andrea Doria (licensed in UK on Southern Fried and in Germany on Kontor and US on Star 69. At the end of 2004 Cristina and me decided to leave Disco Inn store management to Sergione, Mela and Erik to dedicate to new project. Currently we are releasing several dance and pop productions, keeping in with the PastaBoys management for ManoCalda, managing Wicked And Wild Records, Dirty House .Us and Blackmoon are coming out with a production of Ricky L feat Mick, ‘Born Again’, that is going to be released in the Summer 2006 on Ministry of Sound (UK) Happy Music (Fra) and Time Records (Italy)add news Pastaboys make a great mix of Born Again printed on Mano calda US now signed for UK and France xxxxxxxxxA Pastaboys new e.p. on Defected after a brillant remix of Ame , we signed Pastaboys in the UK , including Body resonance and Limit.
