Biography

Donato influenced every single one of us, thanks to his deep and tripping 4 hours dj-sets and his extremely recognizable style. Both quality make of him one of our most appreciated electronic musicians, therefore it has been a great honour to have him onboard on some very special records.

Born in Rome, Donato has been fascinated by music even at the early age of his childhood (by the age of 13, he was already a vinyl junkie!). He was always dedicated both to music and his studies. In the year 2000, Donato received his doctoral in Political Science and took his passion for music to a professional level. Dozzy has honed a unique style over many years of DJing, a history which has included residential stints at Brancaleone in Rome since year 99 and the Panoramabar in Berlin, where he was the afterhours specialist from 2004 to 2006.

As producer, after his early work with the Kitchentools (Virgin, 2001), Donato has been acclaimed by the specialty press and professionals in the field thanks to the records made for Berlin's Orangegroove, Lan Muzic, Roman's Elettronica Romana, Dozzy Records, Rayliard Rec, Persona Records and now, on brand new "Aguaplano" , a platform he just founded with his friend Nuel. D. currently resides in his Wonderland.
