Antonio Memoli, Italian artist — Exploring new territories between house and minimal.
In Antonio’s artistic realm, the eye becomes more than just a symbol — it embodies a vision, then a movement and a journey. In choosing the eye as his emblem, Antonio invites us into a space of enlightened sensibility, a place where his music transcends the ordinary. His records and live performances aren’t just auditory experiences; they’re visceral expressions of the profound emotions he channels. Inspired by a rich tapestry of influences, Antonio’s artistic essence is a tribute to those who have left an indelible mark on his life. Antonio’s sound redefines boundaries between the nostalgic echoes of old-school house and the avant-garde rhythms of London’s minimal tech scene.
“I met Antonio Memoli in Croatia during the Defected Festival last year, in August 2023. Antonio was there, just like us, exploring House Music. The incredible Aline Rocha was performing, and I went with Rozzen, Stiw, and Chesk to enjoy her show, along with other artists we admire. During the event, we crossed paths with Antonio backstage, and the friendship was instant. From Croatia to life. I heard some of his songs and quickly identified a natural talent. I thought, Brazil needs to know him.” — comments Paulo Cani, Artist/Catalog manager at DDD Music.
A DJ and music producer, he is also the mastermind behind THE VISION project — which you can watch on YouTube above — and regularly hosts artists for videos on his YouTube channel. The project, a kind of artistic movement, takes place in an incredible space, a hybrid of a club and studio where, in addition to recordings and music work, the team hosts parties and DJ sessions. The studio is named “The Cave, Atelier” and has an emblematic rustic aesthetic.
Back to Antonio! Today, in addition to this comprehensive overview of his work, the idea is to share a bit of his presence in Brazil. The beginning of a story starts today, August 19, 2024, with his first release here. The single “A Dream of Mine”, which you can listen to in the player above, has just been released on all music platforms. The track is published by Sony Music, managed and label-managed by DDD Music, and distributed by Shake Music — which even featured it in their playlist. The music brings a focused proposal for the dance floors and comes from the minimal deep tech universe.
“This is just the first of many releases that DDD Music will sign with Antonio. As you know, we represent various record labels and artists, and we’ve already lined up some collaborations between Antonio and our roster. The artist will make his debut on the Negroni Disco label and will also sign a remix for the duo Rozzen on the LAROSA label. Antonio’s first semester in the Brazilian music market promises to be hot, and who knows, maybe we’ll see him on the dance floors here in 2024, right? Soon I’ll share more news with you!” — concludes Paulo Cani.
