Six For One: Marco Faraone
The UNCAGE label boss sits down a for a special Six of One which we’ll call ‘Marco’s Waiting At The Airport Selection’…
Marco Faraone is a prolific and versatile producer whose live sets have earned him the attention of all the right people. Hailing from Tuscany, Italy, he became fascinated with the 90s house championed by acts like Masters At Work and Todd Terry, and inspired by DJs like Laurent Garnier for their ability to effortlessly play diverse sets.
He’s since taken on the best elements from his peers to develop a worldwide reputation as an skilled producer, releasing on like Drumcode, Desolat, Be As One, Sci+Tec, Moda Black, Holic Trax, Get Physical and Truesoul. Of late, his own UNCAGE Music imprint has been creating plenty of noise too, attracting attention from many of the scene’s biggest artists.
Ahead of his three date Australian tour, which includes a sitting at Piknic Electronik, the Italian found some time at the airport en route to Australia for a Six Of One session…
Tin Man – ‘Nonneo’ (Donato Dozzy Remix)
‘I am a huge fan of the legend that is Donato Dozzy. He actually did a remix for me on my own label UNCAGE this year. This remix here for Tin Man is maybe one of the best he has ever done. Pure magic, and it’s a great track for being on the road.’
Aphex Twin – ‘T69 Collapse’
‘Well as I am sure you would agree, there is not much more you can possible say about all the productions from THE man that is Aphex Twin. This track is a masterpiece in every element. I always advise people to watch the video too, as it really helps understand the whole vibe of the track.’
Rachel Row – ‘Follow The Step’ (Kink Remix)
‘Super groovy, I have had such a mega love for this track since the day it was released. This remix took the atmosphere of the track to the moon and back. It's a sexy, make love kinda track! Ha’
Howling – ‘Phases’ (Club Edit)
‘This is amazing. When I am on the road it’s so soothing, and every time I play it, I close my eyes and my mind goes somewhere else into a complete other dimension away from daily life.’
Lucovido Einaudi –‘Elegy For The Arctic’ (Live for Greenpeace)
‘Wow, what a song, what a video. This is actually a live recording for Greenpeace, so it’s completely back to nature - and so relaxing. Listen to this on the plane, in a car or wherever – it makes you relax and feel at ease with life.’
