Massimo Di Lena (a.k.a. Massi DL) is a young rising artist from Naples. Since an early age He has listen to a broad variety of artists like Michael Jackson to Tupac to Oasis, and Madonna. At the age of 12, He was prematurely exposed to electronic music, especially Plastikmans’ (Richie Hawtin) productions. Due to the passion he felt by music, at the age of 14 He decided to buy 2 CdJ and a Mixer, to further develop his Dj abilities. At this time He was playing hip-hop, following the music trend of the time; but this changes quickly as his interest for techno increases rapidly. He then decides to invest in two turntables and vinyls, struggling to get a spot at friends’ parties or small events. Couple of years later, He began utilizing musical production programs, and due in big part to his innate exceptional musical ear, He starts to create new and unique sounds, which would then take him to further places. The most respected underground Labels to the likes of Multivitamins, Safari Electronique (Safari 014), Frankie Records, Trapez, have published his productions since then. Minimal Musrooms was released on February 07, a track which became his first club hit. Played by Top Djs like Marco Carola, and Richie Hawtin to name a few.
