___MAPO DJ Started playing music when he was nine years old, originally studying classical guitar and music theory, and eventually learning piano and drums. From 1992-1995 Mapo was in a hardcore punk band called the Gasbarrons, who released an EP. He was also in a Iron Maiden-inspired post-punk group called The Oracoles, who released an eponymous album in 1993. He first started DJ'ing at a dive bar called Il Tuffo in Castellammare del Golfo (Italy), originally playing punk records, but eventually switching over to hip-hop and house music. Mapo lived in an abandoned factory in a crack-infested neighborhood in Porcia (Italy), and his loft in the abandoned factory had neither running water nor heat. "I used to collect bottles and cans and wait in line with homeless people to return them so that I could make enough money to buy groceries." ___SNIKA is a mythological figure which hides various life experiences and leads to a strange guy who once had pink hair.
