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, Wagon Repair, Geophone records, Persona Records and now,
on brand new "Aguaplano" , a platform he just founded with his friend Nuel. D. currently
resides in his Wonderland.
Get acquainted with Donato by downloading this outstanding 3 part set (almost 5 hours)
when he played the closing slot at the Labyrinth Festival in Japan in 2008.
can't wait for this - dozzy's been one of my favourite producers and DJs for a while (the man's eclectic musical taste shows itself seamlessly in his mixes).
huge thanks for the booking.
and as for someone who's never been to UN, what can one expect in terms of crowd, setting, and sound system?

This should give you an idea of the club
The soundsystem's undergoing an upgrade at the moment.
just a matter of time before it's tweaked to perfection
I'm in NYC at the moment and Dozzy's playing an 8hr extended set @ The
Bunker next week. I was initially supposed to return to Montreal on Jan 6th,
but I refuse to return before I'm treated to such an experience! :)

hahaha, this is great - i'm not the only excited Dozzy fanboy (was also thinking of bringing the covers for my 2 versions of K (green and black)).
the DDKH mix is sheer brilliance, and so's his RA podcast:

another question about the club - is there dress-code in effect? the video makes it seem like a dress-shirt/heels kinda place. :conf:
and again, Ostrich and whoever else is responsible, thank you for this booking - thought i'd have to resort to Labyrinth to get my dozzy fix.
how was his Bunker set?
ostrich
his bunker set was sublime! so smooth, hypnotic and groovy.. can't wait till thursday! :)
dress casual, there's no enforced dress code at U.N.
donato's really excited to come and play in montreal, as this will be his canadian debut!
