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.
His new radio show Picanha Beats is hosted by www.radiopellenera.com, and www.radiozerogravity.net!
1) BAD 2) GOODMORNING 3) ROMAN PIRATES 4) STOP 5) WHEN I GO
Recorded in his own studio based in Rome, after 3 years of hard work and changes, Crazy Glue contains different musical experiences that the artist experimented reaching an original sound after the past releases on labels such Subculture and Urban pressure.
The E.P. is a set of tunes that ranging from jumpup to neurofunk. Much attention is given in the sound and rhythmic arrangements and it is into melodic tracks such as “bad”, “when I go” and “stop” that this collage get maximum pressure into dance floors.
You can for sure find some inspiration from this funny, yet serious, sticky, tricky album, Where we blending past and future into carzy present.
