Reject & Valerio
About the concept:
Here is the fifth instalment of our series “abc plays xyz”.
The idea behind it is to ask some DJs/mixing artists if they have an artist or label in mind that they love and would like to use for a mix.
So the approach of each mix is clear: the choosen DJ/mixing artist makes a selection of tracks produced by one artist (and her/his monikers) or released on a label (and its sublabels) and creates a nice mix from it.
Find links to all instalments at our overview. This time we have Reject & Valerio with a mix of Arts tracks.
About Reject & Valerio:
Reject aka Irregular Subject from Melfi (Italy) is more than fifteen years in constant musical evolution. In his younger years his music journey leads him trough black metal, death metal, gothic and metal trash to techno music.
These influences will be used to approach to electronic music in a dark shape. You can hear a dark and straight sound in his vinyl only DJ sets passing though techno, detroit techno and old school techno.
Valerio worked these years on his production and mix skills next to Reject. After collecting Hip Hop and Rap vinyls for many years, his music way was straight lead to his techno passion.
In his DJ sets you can hear raw ranging sounds from industrial to techno.
Both artists complement each other with their different influences. The production of Reject & Valerio promise pure techno going forward.
