ELENA COLOMBI
(live Italian premiere)
Elena Colombi is a DJ and radio host whose sets are not only open-minded and mind-bending, but also seek to play with the emotions of listeners and dancers through changes in intensity, tone, lightness and darkness. Bornə and raisedə in Italy, she spent ten years in London and made her mark on the city’s underground electronic music scene before moving briefly to Belgium. Today he lives in Amsterdam, where he contributes to the vital local scene and focuses on his new label, Osàre! Editions. The artist says the label’s catalog will be imbued with a sense of complete freedom, transcending expectations of time or genre.
In addition to presenting his vast taste through his monthly episodes on NTS, Colombi has collaborated through outstanding mixes with FACT and Crack Magazine, Intergalactic FM, Digital Tsunami and Dekmantel.
He has participated in festivals such as Dekmantel, Club To Club, Nuits Sonores, ADE, Unsound and others.
His outsider approach has also gained recognition from the art world, with exhibitions at the Whitworth Art Gallery together with Jon K, and at London’s Tate Modern where he brought his selections for the Tate Lates series.
At Piedicavallo Festival 2024 Colombi presents his first live set in Italy.
