Catania
Rarely the union of two different people can give birth to such a fortunate artistic collaboration. Antonio Maugeri, aka Larsen, dark-haired, left-handed, cheerful, extrovert, Luca Marano, blond, private and meticulous person.
Two very different personalities, but behind the deck their hands alternate as if they belong to a single DJ.
They are like brothers, they have been friends, artists, musicians and producers for nearly 10 years now, burning the dancefloor of Italian nightlife. A perfect union, born almost as a game in 2004, after a b2b improvised at the Taitù, cult and underground club of the Sicilian house scene in those years, during an AFC party, the historic Italian organization of events that thanks to their talent has made them the protagonists of amazing events with international djs like Fatboy Slim, Tony Humpries, Sven Vath, Lil Loius, Carl Cox, Danny Tenaglia, Ricardo Villalobos, David Morales, Timo Maas, Ellen Allien and many more.
Twenty years of experience in the house scene and the Italian club culture emerges from their dj sets in the form of a mixture between modern and classic sounds, those related to the roots of techno and house old school.Resident djs of AFC, Larsen and Luca behind the turntables can do magic, not only being able to entertain the people but also overly surprising them! “In each one of our dj set we tell a story” – they say. Listen to them is like taking a long trip into the history of house music.
Their sound ranges from house to techno, from funky to deep. The search and selection are detailed and strict, and move in the underground. This make them special!
In their always improvised dj sets there’s everything: with timeless classics, current projects and unexpected out of program beyond the border of the "danceable", Larsen and Luca are able to pull out of their cases great Music for hours!
People say: "They are great! At the end of the night, when the lights turn off and the music stops, the crowd claim the fateful "last one" and never want to go away, hungry for their music!"
Their incredible success and extraordinary feeling has led them to create a partnership, a collaboration that has been going on for years and that gave rise to extraordinary djset in both Italian and European clubs: Weekend (Berlin), Zoo Project (Ibiza), Echoes (Riccione), Tenax (Florence), Magazzini Generali (Milan), Kudos (Mamaia-RO), Culture Box (Copenaghen), Flex (Wien), The End (London). In 2008 Bini & Martini's Ocean Dark produce the first release "The Dark Side of the Rhum" and "Dirty Thingz" in 2009, much appreciated in the European scene.
Over the years the duo have received a lot of contributions and support from many djs of the electronic scene and not, just think about to the feedbacks that are released for their productions on Off Recordings, Tenax Recordings e Zoo:Technique and others. Their tracks are played for long time by Richie Hawtin, Carl Cox, Sven Vath, Jamie Jones, Dj Sneak, Josh Wink, Karotte, Reboot and chosen also for radio mix like Pete Tong’s "Essential Selection" on BBC1.
But however attractive, no description of the duo can be turned into words as their dj sets are unexpected and magic ... Keep in touch!
