WIDER EP - incl. remixes by WOLFGANG HAFFNER, KINSKI & RAZOOF. On this, the first of two remix EPs inspired by his latest album effort „Wide“, Swiss born, now Formentera based dj/producer Massivan (aka Ivan Pezzini) presents some of the finest reworks that some of his prestigeous „professional friends“ contributed throughout the last months. The stand out track „Na Watoto“, one of the many tasty highlights of the original „Wide“ album, gets the remix treatment by none other than german first call drummer WOLFGANG HAFFNER... more about wider | buy @ iTunes
WIDEST EP
One of the real stand out MASSIVAN album tracks, „Getaway“, gets the treatment twice on this release..
MASSIVAN’s main vocalist Olson (appearing here under the MARY UHANA moniker) adds a crisp live reggae feel to the beautiful, violin loaden MASSIVAN original, while Cologne based downtempo producer duo RUBBASOL (aka george solar and olinolium) (www.myspace.com/rubbasol) teleports fragments of the very same song into their trademark, minimalistic ambient dub territory, stretching the meditative power of the loop in their typical, ultra laid back stylee... customized for Formentera sunsets. more about widest | buy @ iTunes
WIDE - The 3rd, very refined downtempo flavour lounge album by BLUE BAR resident DJ and producer MASSIVAN from Formentera (Balears). Backed by a bunch of top notch studio musicians, the son of a classic violin virtuoso manages to unite the best of both worlds into an eclectic collection of jazzed up moods on a worldbeat tip. Forget about one dimensional balearic fakes – this is the real thing... and on BUDDHA BAR, too! „Wide“ contains tons of that special feelgood factor! more about wide | buy @ iTunes
MASSENWAHN - After having intense and breathtaking experiences with the efficient use of tons of different substancies at the very same moment, he felt mentally forced to share those impressions with the rest of the world. Nearly blinded by the illumination within his huge effort to translate those journeys into enjoyable music, he found himself connected to an immense amount of raw emotional strings to be unplugged, cut, tuned, bundled, synchronized and reconnected - This was the moment when the cover image had been shot. An indeed highly tense situation, filled with spiritual traps of any kind and at least nothing for kids!

DAYLIFE
As the sound of this cd is very particular and own - a mixture between acoustic-jazzy-pop, chill-house and latin-beats with vocals - it is not so easy to catalogue.
Contrary to massivan’s look, on Daylife you will be able to hear the island-groove Massivan is living on Formentera, Spain.
Besides a song with singer “Olson”, with whom Massivan already worked on the album “third wave” by “Calmstreet”, released on “mole listening pearls”, you can find six tracks featuring “Bea Luna‘s” vocals, former singer contracted by bmg-ariola.
Finally, with “Pär Gandalfsson” on the piano and “Mirco Pezzini” on the violin, this album turns out to be a great musical experience you can’t (and won’t) miss.

CALMSTREET - 3rd WAVE
The album "3rd Wave" released on "Mole Listening Pearls" presents fresh and mellow tracks sneaking and creeping pleasantly into the listener's ears. The ambivalence of warm pads with versatile electronics manages to keep you thoroughly relaxed but never fails to grab your attention.
Profound instrumental arrangements are well balanced with almost pop-like vocal tracks. All in all a mature, inspired and inspiring album. Ride on the third wave into master-class poplounge heaven.

Born the son of a violinist 1971 as an italian in Switzerland, massivan enjoyed a classical education, starting to play the violin by the age of six.
Having played violin for eight years, the instrument became boring and he started studying drums. This finally brought him to the American Institute of Music of Vienna in 1993. Unfortunately he could not complete the conservatory studies and had to reconsider his musical carrer.
That's when he came in touch with audio-engineering and later dj'ing.
In 2000 he co-founded the label "Modest Records". On this label he released five singles under the pseudonym "Josef's Ruhe". One of them, "Zürihorn", was placed in the charts and played around the world by several dj's like John Digweed, Sasha, Timo Maas and Steve Lawler.
After having produced progressive house for 4 years, he needed some change and started with Jens Andersson the project "Calmstreet", a mixture between pop and lounge.
It soon became a whole album called "Third Wave" which was released on
"Mole Listening Pearls" in september 2002. After having sold over 6000 copies, UCMG prevented massivan's financial success by going bankrupt before even paying the advance.
In spring 2003, massivan moved to Formentera, which is situated right by the side of Ibiza. A little balearic island on which he got a residency in the Bluebar, playing chillout dj-sets for the sunset since the summer season of 2003.
In may 2005 massivan finally released his first solo album called "Daylife". It is a shift in the direction of jazzy-chill-house, mixed up with latin-beats.
In may 2006 he released his second solo album called "Massenwahn". It is an album full of pure club-music, a mixture between electro-pop and psychedelic-trance.
In april 2007 his third solo album „Wide" came to life. This album was realised with several live musicians and one can file it under down-tempo with a touch of jazz.
Currently he's working on expanding his label pmusica, remixing various artists all over the world and producing the next album.
