ANDREA FERLIN PROFILE Born in 1973 & picking up his first turntables 15 years later, Andrea Ferlin has the kind of experience the producer heroes of today's electronic market can only dream of. Involved since the early 90's with some of the most well-respected promoters & DJ's in Italy in 1994 he began production team Duoteque with his friend Dusty Kid. Several releases on Boxer Recordings praised by the likes of Sven Vath, Lee Burridge & Tiefschwarz plus signings to compilations such as Crosstown Rebels "Get Lost", Magda's Minus CD of 2006 & Marc Romboy's Systematic compilation further cemented his position as one of the best underground producers in Europe plus sent him to the best clubs around the world Minimoo New York, DC10 Ibiza, Ovest Italy, Le Zebre Paris, Musica Sydney, Womb Tokyo, Raum Germany & more to show too his equally incredible ability to rock any crowd. Andrea has spent the summer on the coolest dancefloors of Ibiza most notably at the now infamous Circo Loco parties. He has shared the booth with Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin, Swayzak, Magda, Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Pier Bucci, Damien Lazarus & more. Since his move to more minimal techno direction he has released solo projects on Freak N Chic & Leftroom & will release on Paco Osuna's Mindshake imprint in the fall. His "Clear" track was featured on the Triple R Trapez compilation of this year. After his now legendary 2006 Japan tour performances the 2007 tour is set to be one seriously hot ticket.
1973年産まれのAndreaは、僅か15歳の時にターンテーブルを購入、プロデューサー/アーティストとしての経験は誰よりも深い。90年代初頭より母国イタリアのトッププロモーターやDJとの交流を深めていたAndreaは、友人のDusty Kidと共に94年にプロダクションチームDuotequeをスタート。Boxer RecordingsからのリリースはSvenVath、Lee BurridgeやTiefschwarzなどのアーティストに称賛され、CrosstownRebelsの「Get Lost」、MagdaのMinusコンピやMarc RomboyのSystematicコンピなどにも彼のトラックが起用され、ヨーロッパのトップアンダーグラウンドプロデューサーの仲間入りを果たし、Minimoo(NY)、DC10(イビサ)、Ovest(イタリア)、LeZebre(パリ)、Musica(シドニー)、Womb(東京)、Raum(ドイツ)などの世界有数のクラブでのゲストプレイを経験、プロダクションだけでなく実際のクラウドを盛り上げる技量を持っている事を証明した。夏期はイビサにおいてはかの有名なCircoLocoパーティーを筆頭に最高峰パーティーでのプレイを行ってきたばかり。CarlCraig、Richie Hawtin、Swayzak、Magda、Ricardo Villalobos、Luciano、PierBucci、Damien LazarusなどのオオモノDJとの共演を果たしている。ミニマルへの移行を強くしたAndreaは、ソロプロジェクトとしてFreak N ChicとLeftroomよりリリース、今秋にはPaco OsunaのMindshakeレーベルからのリリースも予定されている。彼の「Clear」は07年のベストコンピレーションに選ばれたTriple R Trapezにも起用されている。06年に行ったジャパンツアーに引き続き07年のツアーは既に注目のイベントになっている。
