DJ Fede

Active since the late 1980s, DJ Fede, real name Federico Grazziottin, is a DJ and beatmaker born in Turin in 1974, whose career sits at the crossroads of Italian hip-hop, funk, soul and rare grooves. After beginnings on radio and in clubs, in the 1990s he developed a producer’s work marked by boom bap, soul and jazz samples, and an approach closely tied to the DJ culture. In Turin, his Vibe Session night, launched in 1997, becomes an anchor for the local and national hip-hop scene, while he also pursues a selection activity oriented toward funk, soul, northern soul and jazz-funk. DJ Fede has released several beatmaking and rap projects, including The Beatmaker in 2004, Rock the Beatz in 2006, Original Flavour in 2009, Original Underground Flavour in 2010, Boom Bap Beatz in 2016, Product of the 90s in 2019, Still from the ’90s in 2021, Suono sporco in 2022 and Suono sporco 2 in 2023. His discography also includes compilations and mixtapes such as Deep Funk Theory and Vibe Session, reflecting his two main axes: production hip-hop and black music selections. DJ Fede has also performed in Italy, London, New York and Ibiza, maintaining a profile anchored in club and underground scenes.
