Giorgio Cencetti aka DJ Farrapo started his music career at the end of the 1980s as the keyboard player of local bands in Bologna where he is from. Touring all over Italy, he recorded two albums and several singles for independent labels including two EPs for Irma Records. In the meanwhile he graduated at the university of Bologna with a dissertation about the history of the Hammond organ and Soul Jazz.
In the mid 90s he starts to dj in different clubs from alternative (like Link - Bologna, Mercati generali - Catania, Cafe Leopold - Vienna) & mainstream circuits in famous discotheques like Kinky - Bologna, Rio Bo - Gallipoli and QI clubbing. His dj sets are very groove oriented but more & more he starts to spin eclectic and brazilian music, world and electronic sounds & rhythms.
In those years he also worked frequently spinning at the exclusive parties of big international companies like Ducati, Mazda, La Perla, Baileys and events in the fields of fashion Pitti Immagine Uomo, Firenze, design and business such as MAX, Thonet, Frau, Italian Motor Show.
He spin with djs like Rainer Truby, londons Paul Murphy of Afro Art Records, Belgiums Buscemi, Brazilian award winners Drumagick, Zero DB, Maga Bo, DJ Spider, and at the concerts of musicians like Rosalia De Souza, Fernanda Porto, Trio Mocoto, Arto Lindsay.
