-KEIN- is Roberto Giamberardino. He was born in Rome and grown up in Campobasso. When he was 14 he bought himself his first bass guitar and had music lessons that allowed him to perform at "Giovani, Giovanotti e Giovinastri", a famous event of the town.
After playing bass in various bands, moving between punk, blues, rock and psychedelic music, various experiences in UK allowed him to deepen his understanding of electronica, drum & bass, and rave culture.
After a short experience as breakz DJ, the solo -KEIN- project was born, the pseudonym of which shows his roots in previous digressions in hip-hop scene.
After a long while “living together†with computers, softwares and keyboards, gets out "Suburban Turntablism" , the new work You have ahead.
This Ep has been released for a long while by various netlabels (pinkpube, taktalsmittel, FutureKomp...), but finally is now available on Nuhar Sweet ( nuharrecords ).
Have a look at the stores' list.
" Fondle ", last song by -KEIN-, appears on Broadcast(a cinocirecords compilation) and has been presented @ " LONDON Glitch Night " (August 2008 - The Vibe Bar, Brick Lane, London).
At the moment -KEIN- is part of Vodkatronik SoundLab, an ElectroAcoustic music project.

MY NEW TRACK "FONDLE"
Available on Broadcast ( cinocirecords )
A comment about "Fondle" by my friend SirSickSik (Netherlands):
"Great track man, love the 'plucky' sounds. It really sounds as a very nice and sweet song made for a girl with whom you want to lie next to and just dream away together. very very nice indeed...
Good luck in the future"
