Roberto Turatti

About me:

To the best of my recollection I was born in Milan sometime in 1956. In 1972 I began trying to play the drums, and in 1977 I succeeded in forming a group called DECIBEL by persuading my mates, P.Mancini, S.Longhin and E. Ruggeri, using an effective method: I locked them up in my basement! It was with them that I released my first record, Punk.

In 1979 I started working as a DJ for a club in Milan (American Disaster); and in 1983, together with Miki Chieregato, I worked on my first single as a producer. It was Den Harrow's To Meet Me.

From that moment up to 1988 we continued collaborating as songwriters and producers, which resulted in many international hits earning us (at least in some fools& minds) the title of ''originators of ItaloDance style''.

Some of our productions include the following artists: DEN HARROW - JOE YELLOW - ALBERT ONE - STYLOO - V.V.ANNE - TOM HOOKER - FRED VENTURA - EDDY HUNTINGTON - PAUL LEKAKIS - FLEXX - P. LION

In 1989 it was time for a new project with new collaborators called N.T.M. Production. It stood for Natale, Turatti and Melloni. As a production trio, up to 1994 we released many more hits under that name. Songs performed by acts such as PAPA WINNIE - FRANCESCO SALVI - JO SQUILLO & SABRINA SALERNO - STEFANO SECCHI & ORLANDO JONHSON - CO.RO.

From 1998 to 2001, together with Melloni and Zandona' (All I Really Want Production Ed. Mus.) I produced KIM LUKAS (who was also remixed superbly by Eiffel 65!) and A.C. ONE.

In 2001 I founded the label Definitiva Records... but that's another story!!! :o)

At present I am involved with FMA - Edizioni Musicali. Along with Mario and Davide Allione, I collaborate on special products (MP3 compilation e della DJ Voice) that are meant for distribution in newsagents. And since I absolutely can't give up on music production, I still work in the studio with a 26 year old guy called Carlo Frigerio... and with whoever is willing to put up with me!!!

ME, someone IN LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER! - WITH DANCE MUSIC. But not only...
