Mattia Prete

Mattia Prete is a Berlin-based multifaceted artist, DJ, Live performer, label manager, and promoter whose highly ambitious electronic music is influenced by club styles such as techno and electronica, merged with the intricate rhythms of jazz and organic instruments. He signed his debut with “Moon, Please Don't Go Away” in 2020 on Jazzotech, the label he manages, and has since released a vinyl EP titled “Life Is Waiting EP” on the experimental “Faith Disciplines” label, as well as a series of singles such as “Palettes” and “Zamovliannia ft. DZ'OB” which featured classical musicians from some of the Dnipro’s Philharmonie. One of his most inspiring projects is the Double LP “This is Techno Jazz Vol. 1 and Vol. 2,” which brings together artists like Stanislav Tolkachev working with Finnish band Aki Himanen & Aleksi Kinnunen , Katharina Ernst with Spanish techno innovator Reeko, Tensal with Turin jazz band TUN - Torino Unlimited Noise, Fabrizio Rat, and trombonist Gianluca Petrella, among others. This project has also inspired a party of the same name at Kantine Am Berghain and Sage beach, featuring legends and innovators such as Matthew Herbert, Fabrizio Rat, and Studnitzky. As a DJ, Prete has a broad sound and uses silence as a tool to increase the dynamics of his music, selecting fluid and selective genres such as Techno, Modern Classical, Jazz, Electronica, and Broken Beat, always built on strongly propulsive grooves.
