CLUB Presents Vincenzo

Sat 27th Feb 2010

An
artist who has such talent, style and longevity is a rare creature
nowadays... and Italo-German Vincenzo Ragone, known to the House world
as Vincenzo, is indeed one of these special creatures! 

Hard to
track down and often a man of the night, Ragone has been casting his
deep and truly one-of-a-kind takes on House and Techno out into the
ether for well over a decade. Vincenzo was a true child of the Acid
House explosion, and one of an original cast of Hamburg based Djs and
Producers, hanging out and collaborating with friends who would later
become some of the trend setting icons of the present - notably Poker
Flat's future ringmaster Steve Bug offered him some crucial gigs at the
revered 'Reduced' parties at Hamburg's 'Front' Club! 

From here
on the star in the making went on to produce his first ever productions
for the Raw Elements label, alongside Sandro Catallo in 1995, and then
released his first ever solo tracks with the label in '97. His
production energies began to draw him further and further into this
magical music, which knew no bounds, and in 1998 Vincenzo released his
debut album, the classic '1-800-Vincenzo,' on none other than the newly
blossoming Dessous Imprint to great International applause. 

Numerous
solo and collaborative releases followed, notching up studio time in
New York with Alexi Delano (aka A.D.N.Y), leading to the A.D.N.Y &
Vincenzo project. Clearly picking up a heavy dose of those soulful, US
House flavours that would never wash away... His year spent living in
New York proved Vincenzo had real International appeal, and increased
touring to play gigs in House Clubs stateside, as well as globally,
confirmed this musical passion was meant to be.

His
relationship with the funky yet stripped, Deep House movement continued
through his enigmatic 'Strip Joint Grooves' series on Dessous, and also
through further collaborations with San Francisco's Dj Rasoul,
Nottingham's John Buckby aka Schmoov, Marc Schneider (aka Snider) and
many, many more. Indeed his name and musical offerings continued to
elevate and inspire, and recent releases and remixes on Dessous and
Hamburg's Liebe*Detail records suggested a more mature, techy sound had
sprouted from the seasoned house-head's mixing desk. 2007's notable
remix for the Liebe*Detail offshoot label 'Spezial', a stunning
re-think of a Move-D modern classic, 'Anne Will', won him notoriety for
effortlessly transcending both the Deep House and Minimal Techno
worlds.... creating a reduced beach party track that also had the power
to deeply rock the clubs! 

Vincenzo racked-up a serious amount
of air miles over his long and busy career (and he continues to do so!)
He has worked with some of the most important producers and labels
within his field of expertise, yet he maintains a humble existence, not
wanting to over -play his part in the grand scheme of things. In fact,
he shouldn't be so humble, as his records, both old and new, are
consistently played and charted by a spectrum of Djs that most
producers could only dream of... No surprise then that his most recent
EP for Dessous, 'The Resident,' picked up big support from steve
bug,laurent garnier,josh wink,ian pooley and sasse.only to name a few:
proof once more that this traditionally-underground impresario of House
is here to stay, and continues to share his unique sound with the world.
