After growing up in Italy, Madteo, born Matteo Ruzzon, moved to the States as a teenager – first to Texas, where he was kicked out for shoplifting on his 18th birthday, then to New York in ’94. It’s in New York where he developed most as a DJ and producer, eventually releasing his own music on labels like Morphine and Lanquid in 2007 and 2008. His unique take on house, techno, and hip-hop has been picked up by labels like Workshop, Meakusma, Hingefinger, Sähkö, Nuearth Kitchen, Wania, and Latency. Madteo’s music has been hailed as a uniquely and quietly mesmerizing descent into the structures of house and hip-hop.
