Knobs aka Diego Simonetti born in Rome on 24th June 1985 is a real
cosmopolitan, he has lived and travelled abroad and finally came back to
Rome in 2003. He first began fumbling with sounds on machines in 2005
inspired by live sets.
He has a strong break influence in his music coming from Hip Hop as a child
as well as Drum & Bass and Dubstep later in his life. He experimented
producing various genres of electronic music from Trip Hop, Breakbeat, Drum
& Bass, Dubstep to Hardtechno and discovered and focused on Minimal and
Techno beats in 2008. He fell in love with analog gear and this love
eventually struck a greater love which he expressed through making his own
music.
He said: ?I love producing lets me express myself which i believe is the
most important thing for a person in order to find himself and enjoy his
life". His tracks have been released on labels such as Nachtstrom
Schallplatten, The Zone Records, Freitag, Elektrax Recordings and Smallroom
Music to name some. His tracks have been played and supported by artists
such as Chris Liebing, Richie Hawtin, The Advent, Paco Osuna, Laurent
Garnier, Monoloc, Drumcell, and many more, lots more to come from this
artist?
