Biografia
DJ, producer and remixer, Stefano Gamma has been present on the Italian scene for many years. Since the end of the eighties he has collaborated with most of the clubs in Rome offering a massive contribution to the growth of house music. He has often hidden his own identity of producer and remixer behind different pseudonyms (S/M Funk, The Knowledge, House Of Jubilee, The Featuring, Freak Do Brazil), appearing in the charts and playlists of the most important DJs in the world-wide panorama (including Pete Tong, Little "Louie" Vega, David Morales, Tony Humphries, Danny Rampling) and in numerous compilations on an international level (e.g. Essential Selection 1997 by Pete Tong, Can't Get High Without You Compilation by Joey Negro, Azuli pres. Miami 2003 by Dave Piccioni, Release Yourself 2003 by Roger Sanchez, Hed Kandi Disco Heaven Vol. 1, ...).

In May 2006 he was included in the portraits book "ROMA- l'immagine del suono". This book, produced by the new talent photographer Alessia Laudoni (www.alessialaudoni.com) is a portraits "compilation" of the 40 dj's that influenced the sound and the culture of the Clubs in Roma from 60's to now.
Actually he's playing around his city as regular guest: ask for him at Area Disco, Spazio Novecento, Gilda (Sunday Fashion Night), Lanificio 159, Loft, Akab, 45 Giri, Hulala...!!!
As always his selection of music is fluctuating between old-school house and elektro but the real question is: is acid house the future or retro??? |
