BIO:
FRANCESCA LOMBARDO
After years exploring different strains of music and picking up her own formal training, Francesca Lombardo realized she was most at home on the dancefloor.
The London based DJ, Vocal Techniques graduate and accomplished pianist first surfaced under the Jackie Misfit guise. With this alias, she DJed at various underground parties plus clubs like Brixton Academy and The Drom in the English capital, but also released on labels like Lokomotiv Recordings and started her own imprint, Echolette Records. It was a quick success story, with remixes from the likes of Hector picking up keen support from tastemakers including Marco Carola, Radio Slave and Loco Dice.
Now, though, having also made waves as vocalist and keyboard player with Def by Disco (who toured and had residencies around the UK) this unique electronic sculptress is working under her given name, Francesca Lombardo.So far she has spun alongside titans like Sven Vath, Agoria and Tobi Neumann at places like Klubbers Festival, Madrid, and Danzoo for Space of Sound, always joining the dots between house and techno.
Production wise for this genuinely musical talent it’s all about feeling, and it has been since growing up around her father’s vast collection of instruments as a child. “My style is colourful,” she says. “I like to write a track depending on how I feel. My tracks usually follow a concept.”
Said music is inspired by a lifetime of listening to Depeche Mode, Aphex Twin, Plastikman and more recent sounds like those offered by Ghostly International and Traum. But also by playing piano at Conservatorium of Music for Classical piano and singing opera from a young age. “Despite this, I was always attracted to electronic music and machines” she remembers. “I could never really cope with classical.”
With all these skills and musical experiences available to draw on, the future looks bright for Francesca Lombardo – an upcoming EP on leading contemporary label, Crosstown Rebels is only testament to that, as is the fact she has been signed to the much lauded Rebel Agency alongside the likes of scene darlings Jamie Jones, Maceo Plex and Art Department.
PAOLA POLETTO
Paola Poletto, born in Turin, Italy, began her career as a DJ at the young age of 15, after 13 years of professional ballet dancing.
After living in New York, where she has been adopted by the “Nuyorican” Old Skool scene and London and being inspired by Paul “Trouble” Anderson, she was invited to Ibiza to become a resident at the “Made in Italy” parties at Pacha and Space. This great feat gave her the accolade of the “first female DJ ever to perform at Pacha.” Since, Paola has become a regular on the Island. Few years later it took her to Milan, where she became resident Dj of the most important parties of northern Italy “The Base” and “Colazione da Tiffany”, followed by her first record being released on Roger Sanchez’ label Rsenal in 2000.
Throughout the past 20 years of touring she performed alongside the planet’s most popular DJs in locations that include Europe, the States, South America and parts of Asia. Billboard Magazine, the industry’s most important publication, invited her on several occasions to represent Italy at the Billboard New York Convention. Since 1998, she has performed regularly in Miami at the Winter Music Conference. In 2008 she graduated in sound engineering at APM The Sound Engineering College. With 15 years of experience in Ibiza, Paola has played everywhere: Pacha, Privilege, Amnesia, Space, Ushuaia and for the best parties ever: Manumission, MTV Festivals, Carry On, Ovum alongside Josh Wink, Amnesia after Party alongside Locodice and Marco Carola, Kehakuma, Space Opening Party, We Love Sundays at Space.
It was in 2009 that Francisco and Paola met in New York while touring. Both felt a strong connection from the very first moment and decided to continue working and performing as one team. Francisco left his home Santiago de Chile and moved to the place he always dreamt to be a part of: Ibiza. Just a year later the duo got their first residency at Ushuaïa Beach Club and started touring with their “back to back” set. Additionally Francisco became the opening DJ for the Cocoon after parties and the year after resident DJ of Cocoon Heroes in Formentera. Besides that he kept producing for Cadenza, with his track “Tiago” together with Yaya being released February 2012. Paola in the meantime was performing at the worldwide renowned opening at Space, Kehakuma and We love Sundays at Space.
While living in Ibiza, Francisco and Paola started working in the studio. Their first collaboration “Chicken From Cosmo” has been signed by Loco Dice for Desolat, along with a few more tracks by the duo, including their beloved “Ralf The Dog”. VIVa Music signed further two tracks of them, Indigo Ep, remixed by their friends Sis and Hector while Orion Muzik commissioned them to remix “Smell of the city” sung by The American singer Gretchen Rhodes.
In 2012 they started their own label Aurora Indigo – named after Indigo, the colour of the transmutation and new young generation and the year 2012 meaning a beginning of a new era: the aurora of the universe. First release “Teorema EP” is produced by Francisco Allendes and Felipe Venegas and gained immediate support by the likes of Loco Dice, Marco Carola , Luciano, Davide Squillace, Matthias Kaden, Michel Cleis and Nick Curly to name a few.
