Smoke Machine Podcast 012 Alan Backdrop by SMOKE MACHINE published on 2011-04-14T13:13:36Z Alan Backdrop, Italy Born in 1984 in Piove di Sacco. Since I was a child I’ve been fascinated by music. I still remember when I got up stealthily at night to listen and listen again to the old cassettes in which I had captured the most particular, original and out of the box songs during the day. I spent hours and hours alternating “play” and “rewind” buttons trying to understand how that “thing” which gave me so much pleasure and made me blow into another dimension was made up. I couldn’t explain that! I thought it was impossible that a man had created something like that, it seemed me something inhuman. Time passed and during the first years of secondary school I got in touch with the music played in some local clubs such as “Spot” (Stargame) and “Teatro la Scala” (Autobahn). If I needed to find out unthinkable music, that was the answer! I had come upon the german techno-electro music of the nineties. Long strips of djs, everyone expressing himself with his own style; records looked like entrance doors through various worlds each one with the same common denominator: to pull you out from "reality". I began to collect several cassettes and I studied them nonstop. When I was 22 years old I felt strongly attracted by djing and so I bought turntables and began to seek and collect vinyls obsessively. Absolutely the artist who most influenced me is Monolake/Robert Henke (I think that there is nothing to add on it). And others as Anders Ilar, Sleeparchive, Submania & Ekmoah, Richie Hawtin, Quantec, Donato Dozzy and many others… Indeed i'm very attracted by the surreal atmospheres and I try my own style among these. In October 2006, together with my friends Enrico (Status Und) and Stefano (Oldste), I gave birth to “Thursdaysdeep”, our own crew. We are a small group of people who meet every Thursday in a little room to express themselves through music and have fun. Later many other friends, such as Enrico (Radio Live Trasmission) and Manuel (Feelfloor), started to be part of this little reality. http://official.fm/users/alanbackdrop No Tracklist but feel free to ask the tracks.
