DE FEO, born in 1995 in Naples is an Italian Dj, sound designer and visual artist based in Berlin. With experience with soundtracks, events and media communication in cities like Amsterdam, London, Belgrade, Barcelona, Berlin and many more, he is part of a generation of artists who work intensively in the transitional area between music, art and science.

His knowledge of communication mixes with skills in new media art to perfectly meet his need to convey to his listeners not only the right sound, but a unique collective experience, transporting them to different places with the use of samples created or recorded on his long journeys.

In his work he seeks to overcome the separation of the sensory perceptions of man made sound and light frequencies, or the difference between the various anthropological communication system. Creating scientific, artistic and sociological phenomenons perceivable for both eyes and ears in a multisensory and unexpected environment is his main goal.

His music is regularly supported by names such as: Richie Hawtin, Paco Osuna, Ilario Alicante, Young Male, Florian Meindl, and many more! For DE FEO, making music is not simply about producing sound,
but about transporting people into a boundless experience.
