Showcasing his immense theoretical knowledge and authenticity, earned through decades of experience in the industry, Parisio’s latest project – his 6 part ‘Fragments 2930’ EP – honours the meditative euphoria of Conform’s early releases. Militant and driving in their effect, each cut presents its own melodious theme; running parallel to the strong percussive undercurrent of high impact techno that can be heard across the extended player.

Este mes de julio, en DJ Mag España traemos un so- plo de aire fresco para la escena, y no precisamente de la mano de un artista emergente... Hablamos de uno de los pilares más importantes de la historia del techno internacional y co-fundador del sonido napolitano: Gaetano Parisio.

Conform Records returns with second volume of remastered classics. “CONFORM’S 21ST CENTURY CATALOGUE” Featuring formative techno from ADAM BEYER, BEN SIMS, GAETANO PARISIO, MARKANTONIO, THE ADVENT

Since bursting on the scene in the mid 90, Gaetano Parisio has led the charge for Italian techno for more than two decades. Along with compatriots such as Marco Carola, Danilo Vigorito and Rino Cerrone, Parisio helped establish his hometown of Naples as a mecca for tough, uncompromising beats with his Conform Records label setting the template for others (including a new generation of Naples artists. Having followed the success of Conform with the ART (Advanced Techno Research), Southsoul and Adagio projects, Parisio stepped away from DJing in 2007 to focus on making music, as well as seeking to inspire the next generation of techno producers. With this in mind, the now-Barcelona based Parisio has relaunched the Conform imprint with two monster releases that level into the label’s back catalogue – Conform 20th Century (1997-2000), which was released on 7 May, and Conform 21st Century (2000 onwards), which is set to land on 21 May.

Unleashing these tracks to a modern audience for the first time, remastered for digital format from their original DAT masters, old and new fans alike will experience revived cuts from some of the industry's leading names such as Adam Beyer, Ben Sims, C&G Southsystem (Gaetano Parisio & Marco Carola), Danilo Vigorito, Davide Squillace, Gaetek, Innersound, Markantonio, Stanny Franssen, The Advent and Qmen.
