Strange But Dance Music LIVE #20: Gab.Gato by Strange But Dance Music published on 2023-12-08T13:06:57Z We are thrilled to announce a live set by Gab Gato recorded at Leoncavallo (Milan), 22 September 2023. Gab Gato is a well known figure in Italy's underground scene since the 90's. Producer, illustrator and DJ he has performed in various clubs and festivals around Europe and is the founder of The Villains Inc., an indipendent label. He is a fan of Detroit's funk sound and his catalogue ranges from hip hop to techno, although he is mainly known for a dark and cold electro sound which is clearly inspired by the 80's and 90's music era. He has performed along side some of the greatest names in techno and electro worldwide: Juan Atkins, Alan Oldham, Dj Assault, Detroit in Effect, Anthony Rother and Dopplereffekt. He has releases partnered with Keith Tucker (AUX88), Dj Stingray, Bass Junkie and Max Durante. Which artists has influenced you the most? - The list would be too long so Ill stick to Electro/Techno artists: Mad mike not only for his music but the overall social involvement. Cybotron, Aux88, Drexciya and their side projects, Robert Hood ... just the first few that come to my mind. What new projects/releases with your participation are expected in the near future? - A couple of Villains release are on the way in 2024,but I’d rather not anticipate anything. Im also closing some collaboration tracks and a couple of Ep for other labels. And after a long break Im also back to djing. Im also working on a new live set. Which artists/labels is more relevant to you now? - It's difficult to name a specific artist/label but there is a lot of good music out there. I have appreciated a lot of recent release both Electro and Techno and I still feel a good connection with the Detroit Sound. Id like to mention 'Nativist' by Ultradyne for the good music and the even better concept behind it. What inspires you now to create music? - The world around me is always a good source of inspiration. What set-up do you use when creating music? - Vintage Drum machines and synths, my beloved MPCs, a few digital synths as a Microkorg and computer where needed.
