To commemorate an impressive 20-year journey in the global electronic music circuit, Joseph Capriati is returning to his roots.

A Homecoming Celebration at Ex Base Nato
Spanning a ten-hour marathon from 2:00 PM until midnight, the event serves as the sole global celebration of Capriati’s two-decade career. The choice of venue is symbolic, grounding the international superstar back in the city that ignited his passion for rhythm. Joining him on the decks for this special occasion is a carefully curated roster of talent, including the genre-defying Honey Dijon, the rhythm-focused Chris Stassy, as well as Josh Baker and Quest. Industry analysts note that such exclusive, single-location anniversary shows are becoming a rarity in an era of global touring, highlighting the deep personal connection Capriati maintains with his Neapolitan audience.
From Local Roots to Global Influence
Capriati’s trajectory is a testament to the power of the Italian techno movement. Over the past 20 years, he has evolved from a local talent helping to define the Neapolitan sound into a global ambassador for dance music, having performed in over 70 countries across six continents. His artistic evolution has been marked by a refusal to be pigeonholed; he seamlessly navigates the intersections of minimal, house, and techno. Much like a master painter who refuses to stick to a single color palette, Capriati’s studio work and live sets are characterized by a fluid, ever-changing sonic identity that has kept him at the forefront of the industry for two decades.
Curating the Sound of the Future
The lineup for the September 27th event offers a clear window into Capriati’s musical philosophy. By inviting Honey Dijon-a powerhouse of cultural influence and sonic versatility-alongside the high-demand, groove-centric sounds of Chris Stassy, Capriati is showcasing the breadth of the modern electronic landscape. This gathering is not merely a retrospective of his past work but a forward-looking showcase of the artists currently shaping the future of the dance floor. As the industry continues to see a surge in demand for immersive, day-to-night festival experiences, this Naples showcase stands out as a definitive moment for techno enthusiasts worldwide.
