ITA Matteo Rama aka Guxi è un classe '86 nato a Roma. La sua educazione musicale inizia come batterista di una band rock, ma presto si ritrova a stretto contatto con realtà della musica elettronica e del clubbing, difatti nel 2010 arriva in una crew chiamata "What If", con la quale inizia una piccola programmazione in un club di Roma, questo suo progetto progredisce in breve tempo e lo parta a suonare in consolle di locali quali QUBE e Saponeria, dove divide gli stage con artisti come Anthony Collins, Satoshi Tomiie, Miguel Campbell, Burnski, Carlo Lio. Così in poco tempo inizia a dedicarsi alle produzioni musicali, frequentando con regolarità studi di registrazione e trovando un sound dotato di ritmo incalzante, esplorando suoni differenti che hanno un riscontro eccezionale nel dancefloor. Guxi è attratto dalla Italo Disco, dalla nu-disco e dalla house in generale che combina con suoni della classica house di Chicago e della techno di Detroit. Dal 2012, Matteo, entra a far parte della crew romana L-Ektrica che gli offre la possibilità di mettere dischi al Lanificio Club. ENG His musical education began with mom’s and dad’s love for great vibes. Guitars, drums, tambourines, percussion of all types and a unique vinyl/tap cassette collection – based on funk and rock – accompanied his childhood. At a young age he decided to join a rock band as a drummer forming his first own relation to rhythm. During that period, he developed the passion of mixing up different music styles and matured a great sense of musical control. His enormous appetite for more pushed him to start djing - mixing music cassettes at middle school for young girls - with excellent results. People describe him with a: velvet walk, lively eyes and a disco ball in his heart. Focusing on the electronic music and the club scene, he started to collect house, jazz, dance and disco music, challenging his dj skills with these new sounds every day. Soon he became a regular dj guest in the main underground clubs of Rome (Qube, Circolo degli Illuminati, Animal Social Club, Circolo degli Artisti, Rashmon, Lanificio 159, Piper, SMAV, Old River Park, Neo Club) following the footsteps of his passion. In 2011, did Guxi get his first Dj residency at Saponeria Club that allowed him to share the stage with many international Djs as Anthony Collins, Miguel Campbell, Raxon, Burnski, Carlo Lio, etc. In the following years, he joined L-Ektrica, feeding his deep affection to house and disco music, besides offering him the chance to play at Lanificio Club with international guests like Darshan Jesrani, Sophie and The Magician. Currently he spins the discs often at L-Ektrica. Like an "Italian Todd Terje" or a "Roman Tullio De Piscopo" Guxi has been serving the hottest house and disco cuts and without no doubt you will remember his dj sets as they are like a cosmic blender. Similar to a spaceship he always used to wait eagerly for the early morning hours, when the pace slowed down and Italian styled disco was the ruling sound. And when he is not spinning records, he is known as Intellectual Property lawyer… Recently, he dedicated his time to producing remixes and own tracks with the primary objective to play around with his talent.
