Description

Omnidrive has been on the electronic dance scene since 1991, after the encounter with Mutoid Waste Company, the international group of artists/mechanics famous around Europe for their installations and mutated vehicles Mad Max style. Known in Italy as \"Mutoidi\", their events have opened the way to warehouse parties (abandoned spaces squatted for the duration of the party) during the mid ..80s in the acid house generation that grew up in London in those years. London’s community of musicians and dj/producers still remember those parties, where a mix of punk, cyborg, live bands and djs were melted in an atmosphere coming straight at you from a comic strip. starting from 1993 Omnidrive and its sound system have become an active part of the group and the long series of show/parties brought on tour from 1994 to 1997. In 1997 he travelled widely throughout Mexico and central America, where he met Jethro Dee, joining forces in a serie of parties still in the memory of the locals at Zicatela Beach (Puerto Escondido, Mex). One of the first to organize and get to the dancefloor the Italian ravers parties in the beginning of the ’90s, he has been, since their first openings, dj guest at venues like Link and Livello 57 and all the editions of the Street Rave Parade Antiproibizionista (Bologna, Italy), which reached a public of 100,000 followers during its 10 editions. Since the end of 2000 he has joined its energies with 5 more djs, forming h2O DJ Crew, collective with colourful musical shadings. In 2001 he has placed side by side musical activity to independent fashion, creating with Sugar Babe the clothing label sugarbabe.org. he has been taking care of the fashion shows soundtracks, for their collections at Night Wave (Rimini) in 2001, at the former church of Spasmo in Palermo, and Giardino del Guasto (Bologna). since October 2004 he has opened the label own boutique in Bologna (I), where he organizes every friday and saturday Djs for Sale!, in the upstairs dj booth. In 2007, with Dj Gomes, he’s been organizing Eclectronica, events with various live and guest djs, held at Laboratorio Autogestito Crash in Bologna (I).
