The concept of Ides of March for Manuel and Pietro sees the light for the first time in 2018 in Amsterdam, where they both are based. The Spanish-Italian duo first met in 2016, and soon found out their common interest in electronic music.
They set their international debut with their first EP "XV-III" for UK's label sequence music in 2020, followed by the single "Corpus" on German imprint Club Mood Vibes. They then released the track Dreamwalking for Mexico City's label ARKHAMRA VA in 2022 and their second EP called "Hyperion" in 2023 on the Ibiza & Tulum based Uxoa Dutxa Elite.
The sound that this duo brings in their DJ sets and productions spaces from progressive house, to electro, to more melodic and melancholic shades of techno, in a blend characterized by the two's personal taste and musical background.
Their work has so far been supported by international acts such as Richie Hawtin, Joris Voorn, Axel Haube, Wurtz, The Element, Jos & Eli, Alfa Romero, Paco Osuna, Olivier Weiter, Mitch De Klein, Justrice, Fat Cosmoe and Kadosh among others. Their release "Reticent" on Wout Records caught the eye of David Guetta, who inserted the Toxism Remix of the track Reticent among his favourites in heavy rotation. Their last release "All Is Light" has been published on Amsterdam's Click Records, including a remix from the label's boss Lake Avalon himself.
In July 2021, the duo started their event concept series, @synesthesiamusicart where they shared the stage with artists such as Hollt, Beswerda, Mitch De Klein, Kimman and Echonomist. The aim is to keep evolving, blurring the lines of music genres.
