This week we are pleased to give you Italian artist Mario Mangiapia aka Mintech, born in Naples on January 23, 1989. From the age of 11 he has been close to the electronic music scene, following his favorite artists’ concerts. The turning point for Mario was in 2006 when he met up with an old friend (Alex Modigliani) and together they made their first studio.
There were many releases under the name “Moditech” that was later also the name of their label Moditech Records (2008). Mario has been influenced by global pioneers of techno: Chris Liebing, Speedy J, Joseph Capriati, Adam Beyer, Dave Clarke, Ben Sims, and Eric Sneo to name a few. Mario’s sound began to change, experimenting with the grooves in his tracks making them more dark, experimental and minimal and had released his tracks on labels such as: Remain, Gayle San Records (GSR), Darknet, Amazone, Slap Jaxx, GON, and Lost Demos. Look for upcoming releases on: Naked Lunch, Elektrax, Android Muziq, PlusEins, Bass Assault and many more (with important collaborations).
Mario also takes part in events with a group created with his friends called “Decompressed” which has booked artists such as: Eric Sneo, Gayle San, A. Paul, Sven Wittekind, Chris Liberator, Axel Karakasis and many more. Keep up with Mintech on Facebook and Soundcloud.
