Andrea Margiotta, born in '76, has been a promoter of concerts and DJ sets in the Turin area since 1997.
He has been involved in organising line-ups at Turin's "Padiglione 14", as well as at "Spazio 211", where he is also resident DJ.
Since 1999 he has combined DJing with his organisational and promotional activities.He has a penchant for vintage sounds - typically lounge-style music ranging from the nu-jazz of Nicola Conte to the breakbeat of Skeewiff, and the acid jazz and funk of Chris Joss to film soundtracks from the '60s and '70s. His particular fondness for the productions of the Milan-based Right Tempo/Temposphere label has led to a collaboration with its founder Rocco Pandiani on "sPEZIALè" evenings at Spazio 211, where guests can enjoy a mix of the musical, the visual and the stylish in the company of internationally renowned artists such as Gak Sato, Painè and Skeewiff.In a difficult city like Turin where there is strong competition between different music scenes and hangouts, Margiotta took no time at all to establish himself as a lounge scene DJ of some importance. This resulted in him being asked to open a Nicola Conte gig at the Supermarket on 9th November with his own set.Every Monday at Turin's Société Lutèce, Margiotta's "Margiotta International Jet Set" night offers an exclusive vinyl selection for lovers of the vintage sound, a night recommended by the famous writer Giuseppe Culicchia in the pages of "La Stampa" newspaper.During 2004 Margiotta has been Resident DJ at "Apetible", a Friday-night event in the wonderful setting of the amphitheatre of the 18th century Villa Capriglio, a location abandoned for years until its recent transformation into an art and culture centre.Since October 2004 Margiotta has DJ'd and been involved in the organisation of line-ups on Saturday nights at the new "AB+" lounge club, inviting guest DJ and musicians from the Italian and international lounge/nu-jazz scene like Dani Siciliano, Patchworks, Johnson Righeira, Alessandro Casella etc...Actually Margiotta is engaged for producing his music.Margiotta's evening has taken him to: Redzone, Moriondo Torinese - Cafè Procope in Turin - Green Beach in Avigliana - Cantine Barbaroux, Turin - Factory Café, Turin - Suite 29 Dinner Club, Turin - Diamond, Turin - Festival Teatro e Colline, Calamandrana - Cascina La Court, Castelnuovo Calcea - Hiroshima Mon Amour, Turin - Atrium, Turin - Colonia Sonora, Collegno - Magazzino di Giancarlo(murazzi), Turin - Sugho, Ivrea - La Zanzara, Avigliana - Lo Bistrot, Champoluc - Zoobar, Turin - Executive Lounge, Milan - 11 Club, Milan - La Palma Club, Rome - Istanbul Café, Lecce - Les Cariatides, Paris - Fondazione Metropolitan(with Asia Argento), Milan.
