Dveight was born in June 2003 from an idea by Stefano Maritan and Alessandro Brignone with the purpose of experimenting new solutions and sounds in electronic music.
They’ve both been active for a decade on the Cuneo scene, and come from very similiar artistic backgrounds: Maritan has worked on eletronic projects with various Milan bands (including D.O.A., The Decoders, Brainburger) and at the same time he keeps on producing non-compromising solo stuff and djing under the alias of Frostbyte; Brignone has contributed sounds for bands who crossed electronic with a more rock-leaning attitude (amongst them, X-size, Exentia, La Culla and Virtualdeva, the latter having also produced a CD for Vitaminic), has established DEC (Divisione Elettronico Clandestina) with the aim of getting together electronic music artists and producers not only from Cuneo. Currently, along with developing his own cutting-edge productions under the name of Mcd, he’s busy with Circolo Culturale Clandestino project and in various dj sets in the Cuneo area.
For the two producers, Dveight represents a point of arrival where their various experiences mix up giving birth to tracks of pure electronics, electro rhythms, hip hop, microsounds and braindance melodies. As a matter of fact, their first work was a 7 track EP ranging from electro to glitch to vaguely “Warp” sounds. This CD was also appreciated by artists in the same field and producers like Marco Passarani (of Nature Records) and Betulla Records. Dveight entered the latter’s rosters at the start of 2004.
Their live set is produced with laptops and other machines (synths, samplers, effects, etc.) and they are developing a visual arts project to combine with their gig in partrnership with various artists and photographers.
Amongst their most important dates there are Bern’s CCCIV Convention, their performance at visual arts festival Eyejam, festival Encode, and the live set for the Olimpic night in Turin at Palafuksas, in a contemporary art gallery.
In 2006, Mcd has realized the sound disegn for "Dylan dog: Vent'anni da urlo", an italian comics gallery.
At the moment they’re focusing on writing their first official album, under the supervision of their label managers Strek and Atzmo, and they have just finished their second EP soon to be released.

SUBSTRATO feat. DECOSIDE (Stomafunk/Eclipse) - MARCO RICOMPENSA - ROBERTO BARDINI (Shayan/Eclipse) Super Special guest-star boy band: ALEXXEI N' NIG (Expreezoo)
Nella stagione appena conclusa SUB.STRATO è stata una delle realtà più piacevoli e underground del clubbing cittadino. Attitudine rilassata e suoni deep sotterranei e di qualità sono stati i suoi marchi di fabbrica. Tanto che i suoi resident hanno portato i suoni del party al Festival IAM di Torino e quest'estate in trasferta. A Natale i ragazzi tornano nella posto che più gli sta a cuore: Villa Capriglio, nell'appuntamento tradizionale del party di Natale DEEPmàs! Accanto ai resident Marco Ricompensa, Decoside e Roberto Bardini (quest'ultimi due freschi dei successi internazionali delle esibizioni a ClubTOClub e dei vinili sull'etichetta di culto ECLIPSE), ci saranno Alexxei n' Nig amici fraterni, compagni di sonorità deep e fini conoscitori dei vinili di qualità. Il duo poi, è fresco di un'interessante release su Expreezoo che vanta un remix bomba proprio di Decoside. E' Natale, era scritto nelle stelle... Sotto i visual croccanti e innovativi dei Crispyglass, due dancefloor di deep-qualità e di musica ricercata

This album, officially the first one for MOP Cortex, is a collection of tracks composed between 2006 and 2008, characterized by glitchy and granular sonorities, restless and nervous rhythmics, obscure, tense and rarefied melodic lines, mowed, squeezed and reassembled samples, broken and subdued structures, disseminate of sonic convulsions, and rhythmic cramps. The tracks leads to places apparently without humanity, populated by bodiless scraps on collision course. Nothing safe here.
