Techno dj and producer since 1991 Founder of K1971 Label Management and boss of KEY Vinyl
The head of Key Vinyl, or for the backstage role he played at M_Rec, the label he helped run with best friend Max_M.
He started DJing at Sunday after hour events.. In 1993, aged 21, he launched his now famous Virus radio show, which ran daily from 8PM to midnight, and from midnight to 6AM every Saturday. Parties, a booking agency and record shop soon followed. A year later Freddy K signed to the legendary ACV, who released his first EP, Control. Rage Of Age, his debut album came in 1995.
After Virus peaked and having toured all over the world with ACV, Freddy K stopped DJing and retreated to the backroom. He spent the early millennial years working with Sandro Nasonte at Rome’s flagship record store, Remix. Together they set up the influential Elettronica Romana label, which released some of Donato Dozzy and Giorgio Gigli's first EPs. In 2005 Freddy K launched K1971, a label management enterprise that continues to support fledgling initiatives today from its base in Berlin. He moved to the German capital in 2009, setting up KEY Vinyl as a “techno label for DJs” two years later.
Moving to Berlin reignited Freddy K’s teenage infatuation with rave. He soon fell in with Homopatik, the former monthly gay event at ://about blank. He became notorious for his epic 10, 14 and 16 hour-long sessions there.

December 19, 2007The first day of broadcasting was on April, 24 1993 on "Effetto Radio Uno", 89.3 FM in Rome. Two years later the progam moved on "Mondo Radio" (90.9 FM), a very "hot" radio station in Rome, most focused on techno-progressive sound.
Initially, Freddy proposed a very acid and "dark" sound, detroit techno and many labels from London.
After, following the "mood" of big european rave, he proposed a very good hard trance, techno, hardcore and gabber selections.
Very followed was the "hit parade" on Friday (La Piramide del Virus) and the monday night hardcore selection, played by Walter One (Maniac Monday)
Freddy played as Dj in many many parties in Rome (especially in some one-night called "Virus Day" or every April 24 for the "Virus Birthday Parties) and many raves (both in Italy and rest of Europe).
Every raver, in Rome and not also, knows his name and he is still Dj-ing in very "techno" clubs in Rome.
