Born and raised in the picturesque city of Stuttgart, Francesco Tarallo is a German DJ/ producer who has made waves throughout several European musical hot spots for his fresh and exciting new sounds. Some of the world’s most influential DJ’s, such as Richie Hawtin have played Tarallo’s work and he has received great praise from many throughout the industry including a spot in James Holden Top 10 Charts in the Groove Magazine.

From a very early age he has been drawn to the sounds of electronic production. First discovering beats through old school hip hop, gradually as his own music developed, he continued to draw influences from a wide range of artist from many genres including jazz, funk, experimental, and classical.

Tarallo established a presence in his home town early on, later to find his fan base growing in many other large cities. In 2000, he founded Filmmusik, a record label, posse and event promotion company, which would prove to be an initial stepping stone in his career. In 2004 he was scouted by record label Trapez (a major player in the electronic music scene in Germany) and put out several releases including “Sogno EP” on Trapez Ltd., Vertrieb Kompakt, and Rifare on Trapez “Selection 3” Mix Compilation. His next opportunity came with indie label Pentagonik in which he released „Kingston“ on Pentagonik “Compilation 2” to high acclaim across the country. His last output was under his alias “dec” on nutrition recordings, a Berlin based label for experimental music.

With over 15 years of experience Tarallo offers a great mix of many electronic music flavours and a range of several different DJ identities. Expect to find "Sustain" punching out 12hr sets with an emphasis on hard pace, or "dec" getting in touch with his experimental-ambient side, while under his real name a deep house touch is guaranteed. These are just a few of the flavours that Tarallo offers. One thing that is the same each set is that he offers the punters a night to remember, with a vibe that only Tarallo can bring.

He played together with stars of the scene like Prosumer (Ostgut Ton), Osunlade (Yoruba), Marcel Dettmann (Hardwax), Daniel Bell (Accelerate) a.s.o, as well in the famous Berghain/Panoramabar Club in Berlin and diverse Radio Stations.
