About Me

Dedicated music lover, i started djing in my hometown Salerno in 1999. Since 2002 i'm the promoter of the "Good Taste" night @Rub-a-Dub & "The Jazz Set" @Iroko ClubAs part of the Esplanade Records team, i runned the "Tighten Up" club night which has been for years undoubtely the best place to listen to rare music (And when i say rare, i mean RARE) in south of Italy; and i penned, arranged and co-produced the Esplanade Orchestra's first 45 "The Snail Trek", which has been, maybe, the first real "deepfunk" 45 released in Italy.After many years spent spinnin' records all around the country in the mod & funk scenes i'm now concentrating on a weekly radio show on Radio Pelle Nera obviously called "Good Taste"; an open-minded session of Rare Soul, Funk, Jazz, African and Tropical grooves. Check it out regularly because the music is great and i have the pleasure to have fabulous guests from any corner of the world playing the best shit out there. Click on the banner if you want to hear "Good Taste" right now:I'm always available for djing in clubs, bars, private parties or any other kind of event. I've been djing everywhere in Italy and i played records in France, Belgium and England.I'm also working on a website dedicated to colombian music, which is one of my biggest passions, it will be an archive of the best grooves out of this beautiful land and i'm off to a long trip there to finish this job and diggin' for records.I'm also selling old vinyl records on ebay (id: mr_shingaling) and on private lists, if you want to be updated about the records i'm selling, please feel free to contact me.I will accept any request (except bands) but since i'm using this space for being in touch with friends old and new or people interested in what i do i hope you will introduce yourself before sending a request, if not, i might deny it.
