Marcelo

Oxford, UK. Winter 2001. Marcello Tagliaferro, an engineering student at the Politecnico of Torino, Italy meets with his fate; the Artful Dodger’s dj asks him if he wants to feel the console’s shake. Marcelo TAG is born.
Back to Torino, he understands that music won’t leave his life.

He buys his first pair of decks, and starts mixing. As often as he can he jumps on a plane and goes to his favourite destinations: Barcelona, Ibiza, Berlin, London: the european electronic capitals. He needs to understand.
Soon he starts spinning in top underground venues such as nationwide known Centralino (The Plug Party) where he gets to play with legendary local artists and superstar guests like Agoria, Vitalic, Luciano, Sven Väth and many others.
After a while he’s asked to be resident DJ at The Beach, a brand new multifunctional club at Murazzi, the most famous night scene trend setter site on the Po river where he’s able to play with the top artists of the European clubbing scene, such as Anja Schneider, Metro Area, Nathan Fake, Jay Haze, Dan Ghenacia, Damian Lazarus, Claude Von Stroke and Bruno Pronsato etc.

In those two years of residency Marcelo builds a large network and starts organising his own parties and playing around Europe.

At this stage he feels the need of producing tracks. His first production “Figlio di Botswana” is released on Belgian label Sirius Pandi and is immediately played and charted by artists such as Shinedoe, Andrew Grant, Ken Ishi, Dubfire and more. Many other follows on famous labels like spaniard Suara owned by young but legendary Coyu and the Italian Thisorder.

Next step is creating his own label. In 2009 with long time friend and business partner Franco Cazzola, Marcelo gives birth to Carnival Records an already acclaimed label. It was infact able to be included at its first release in super famous Cocoon Recording’s “The sound of the 10th season” compilation mixed by Sven Väth.

Carnival has already collected remixes from top DJs such as Ahmet Sisman (Slash, Cocoon, Stock5), Nico Purman (Vakant, Crosstown Rebels), Sercan (La Peña, Cecille) and has since the beginning been constantly on important charts and played by those DJs that you wanna be played by.

Is not by chance that during 2009′s Elettrowave Festival, one of the Top three Italian music festivals, Marcelo is elected best national DJ and Producer playing in front of a 15,000 people crowd between sacred icons like 2ManyDJS and Ellen Allien.
