SUPERNOVA  (Lapsus Music / Defected / Noir Music)

 

Supernova are Emiliano Nencioni and Giacomo Godi; an Italian DJ and production duo that have over the last decade made the transition from rising stars to established international talent, perhaps best known for their acclaimed and much-discussed collaboration with Kevin Saunderson on 2010’s ‘Beat Me Back’. They achieved their first notable success in 2007 when Sony BMG released their debut album ‘Downtown Underground, which included collaborations from the likes of GrandMaster and Melle Mel).

Known for their distinctive DJ style their current set-up comprises live instruments, decks and Ableton to create an ever-evolving musical experience. Supernova have played at some of the most established venues and festivals on the planet, including ElRow (Barcelona), Monegros Desert Festival, Space (Ibiza), Ministry Of Sound (London), Cavo Paradiso (Mykonos), Kazantip Festival (Ukraine), Cielo ( NYC), Tenax and Magazzini Generali (Italy), Space (Miami) and many many more.

House giant Defected Records has released a number of the duo’s productions including remixes of seminal records ‘Can You Feel It’ and ‘Strings of Life’ as well as the more recent Cassandra and The Light Goes On EPs. Other notable releases outside of the Defected stable include acclaimed remixes for Kerri Chandler on Bar A Thym and Hallelujah for King Street Sounds as well as their top-charted remix on Jakatta’s American Dream and highly respected Electronic Love EP on their own Lapsus Music.

Their first major project of 2013 also comes from the Defected stable as they mix one third of the long-running and acclaimed Miami compilation series, along with fellow Italians Flashmob and Pirupa. This will be preceded by another EP on the label entitled The World is Crazy, a two-track EP which flirts with darker, deeper sounds while retaining their trademark dancefloor grooves and hooks.

2013 marks also the 10th anniversary of Supernova with the release of their ‘Best of Supernova’ compilation on their own label Lapsus Music, their strongly supported “The Circle EP” for Noir Music and remixes for Kling Klong, King Street Sounds and Noir; while 2014 include their single “Come With Me” feat. Natalie Conway on Defected Records, their collaboration with Acid House legend Dj Pierre “The Beat” on Lapsus, “So Wet “ EP on Material as well as the remix of Romanthony’s classic “What Price Love” for Glasgow Underground.
Looking ahead at the early 2015 the duo have planned a remix for Luna City Express 10 Years celebration album due on Moon Harbour, their “House Legend Supernova” compilation for King Street Sounds and last but not least their forthcoming Suite 58 EP on Lapsus Music including remixes by Tiger Stripes and Luna City Express.
Later this year Supernova will be working exclusively at their third studio album including featuring from the likes of Ann Saunderson and Stee Downes just to name a few.

 

Il progetto SUPERNOVA nasce nel 2002 dall’incontro di Emiliano “EMIJAY” Nencioni & Giacomo “G.O.D.I” Godi che, dopo i successi ottenuti negli anni precedenti nelle rispettive città, decidono di dar vita ad un percorso ambizioso e globale insieme.
“AFTERBEACH”, il primo album pubblicato nel 2003 contiene 12 tracce sperimentali che spaziano dalla Chill Out alla Techno melodica; riceve ottimi consensi da parte della critica e alcune tracce vengono poi inserite in prestigiose compilation e trasmesse da molte radio italiane.
Dal 2003 i Supernova iniziano ad esibirsi con un “Set Up” messo a punto in studio ed in continua evoluzione, che precorre i tempi di quello che sarà un fenomeno clubbing molto diffuso: il LIVE SET.
Il loro album del 2007 per SonyBmg “DOWNTOWN UNDERGROUND”, ricco di collaborazioni internazionali (vedi Grandmaster Melle Mel) e citazioni vintage, viene subito supportato dalla critica più cool e da MTV e porterà i due dj/produttori ad esibirsi in diversi tour in Cina ed America. DOWNTOWN UNDERGROUND da quel momento in poi sarà anche un party itinerante che vede i Supernova sia come ideatori che come Dj’s resident.
LAPSUS MUSIC, la loro label nata nel Gennaio 2009 è oggi considerata una delle etichette indipendenti più propositive della scena clubbing.
In Italia suonano e collaborano frequentemente con i maggiori club di riferimento e le organizzazioni più prestigiose e, negli ultimi anni, le richieste da parte dei migliori club internazionali.
I loro live Dj set sono una miscela di tech, funk, deep ed acid house, messa a punto grazie al loro percorso di dj’s e musicisti, che si traduce in un suono caratterizzante che vuol essere uno stile, un marchio di fabbrica!
Le loro produzioni hanno un carattere inconfondibile. I loro potenti grooves, i suoni ed il loro stile nel pensare agli arrangiamenti, sempre eclettico e mai banale, sono diventati un punto di riferimento.
La musica dei SUPERNOVA si ascolta su alcune prestigiose etichette come Lapsus Music, Defected, Noir Music, King Street Sounds..
