A Fresh Chapter: Marco Faraone Joins the Metamorfosi Roster
The landscape of modern house and techno continues to evolve, and few artists have navigated this terrain with as much consistency as Marco Faraone. Now based in Barcelona, the Tuscan-born producer has officially marked his arrival on Joseph Capriati’s esteemed Metamorfosi imprint. This latest release, a double-sided single titled ‘That’s Right / I Don’t Care,’ serves as a testament to his two-decade-long career, showcasing a producer who remains at the top of his game.
Deconstructing the Sound: A Dual-Track Exploration
Faraone’s latest project highlights his versatility, offering two distinct sonic experiences that cater to different moments on the dancefloor:
- ‘That’s Right’: This track is a masterclass in minimalist, tech-driven production. It relies on a gritty, no-nonsense aesthetic where hypnotic hip-hop vocal samples take center stage. The track is anchored by sharp, sizzling hi-hats and a relentless, pitch-shifting bassline that creates a sense of urgency. It is designed specifically for peak-time club environments where precision and raw energy are paramount.
- ‘I Don’t Care’: Shifting gears, this side leans into a more soulful, funk-infused territory. While the groove remains heavy, the atmosphere is lighter, characterized by lush, sensual chords and vibrant vocal layers. The track builds tension masterfully, eventually erupting into a rhythmic tapestry of tropical percussion that feels both organic and electrifying.
Building an Underground Legacy
Beyond his individual studio output, Faraone has cemented his influence through his label, UNCAGED. The imprint has become a vital platform for the underground scene, frequently collaborating with industry heavyweights like Ben Klock, Alan Fitzpatrick, and Avision. The label’s reach is global, having curated high-profile showcases at legendary venues and festivals including fabric London, Watergate, Awakenings, and the Monegros Desert Festival.
Faraone’s collaborative spirit is equally impressive. His discography features partnerships with artists like Deetron and Ejeca, while his reputation as a remixer has made him a go-to choice for high-caliber producers such as Nick Curly. With over 20 years of experience, Faraone continues to prove that he is not just a participant in the house and techno scene, but a driving force behind its ongoing innovation.
