Tireless investigator of dance music’s mechanisms with a heavy background on computer music, and head of respected experimental label Presto!?, Lorenzo Senni is responsible for a few of this decade’s most unique releases. In 2016 he signed for legendary Warp Records and his EP Persona got awarded with the prestigious “Honorary Mention” at Prix Arts Electronica.
Lorenzo Senni, who coined the term “Pointillistic Trance” and “Rave Voyeurism” to describe his approach, is as a sadistic scientist that is ripping the spinal cord out of trance and dangling it in front of our eyes. His work carefully analyze constituent parts of rave sounds together with computer music and pop for reuse in a very different context, with repetition and isolation as key concepts, explores the idea of “build-up” found in euphoric dance music as a starting point to make a non-uplifting, more introspective piece that implicitly preserves its emotional tension and drama.
As founder of Presto!? Records, he has released albums by a number of internationally acclaimed artists including DJ Stingray, Florian Hecker, Palmistry, Evol to name just few.
Lorenzo Senni presents “EUREKA! (Mix Legacy 2011–2025)”, co-curated with Nuits sonores at Terraformaᵉˣᵒ Milano.
