Lento violento Man

Lento Violento Man is one of the aliases of Italian dj, producer and electro mastermind Gigi D'Agostino. A great communicator too, during the years D'Agostino has invented and baptized many sub-genres -- or, better, fake genres -- of dance music, one of them being lento violento (i.e. slow violent), characterized by relatively slow beats and aggressive sounds. The roots of lento violento in D'Agostino's productions can be found in singles such as Le serpent and Ripassa and in the compilation albums Il programmino di Gigi D'Agostino (2003) and Live at Altromondo II (2004). From that moment on, lento violento became one of D'Agostino's most recognizable trademarks. In 2007 he released the double compilation Lento violento e altre storie, that reached the third notch in the Italian charts selling more than 20,000 copies. Half of the songs in it were credited to Lento Violento Man, the newest of D'Agostino many musical AKAs. The first real Lento Violento Man album, La musica che pesta, followed just three months later.
