We found a young duo from Macerata, Italy, called Autistic. The Italians have a good sound, similar in taste, punchy and defined we would like to share their sound with you. To name a few: Italo Business, 303Lovers, Stereo Seven Records, Dandi & Ugo, Marshall, Libex, Jova, Piatto, Alex Kenji, Tractor Records, Hot Fingers and more.
Autistic is Stefano Valentini & Marco Massucci.
VM: How did you come up with the name “Autistic”?
A: The name was created in a strange situation, (better not to dicuss) then it seemed to be catchy name, so it stuck.
VM: You are young producers in electronic music. What got you interested in it?
A: We started djing first about 10 years old. Like most kids out here, our music is dance music, old techno, groovy & hard kicks, definitely makes us all happy.
VM: Describe what you like to hear in sound.
A: We really like vocals, in the last few months, strange melodies, various grooves with lots of rhythm.
VM: What software do you use?
A: We use logic 8.
VM: How do you approach each track you produce?
A: We approach and search for something new with each track, when we have found it, we start to think of the rest of the track. Cigarettes, bubble gum, and sandwiches helps. 
4) Explain the Italian sound? 303Lovers, Stereo Seven, Italo Business, etc…
A: Each of these labels has a different side to them, they are all open to new artists, in fact in the last couple of months their style has varied. In Italy, there are only a few people that keep a high standard of the Italian sound, many artists use the same sound which becomes boring, like anything overused. We really respect Alex Kenji, Sara Galli, Marshall from 303lovers, Bertolini, Spartaque from Stereo Seven, there are so many talented artists, so many.
VM: Which of you tracks gets the best reaction from crowds at a party?
A: The one that gets best reaction is always Muse Ottuse” people like the powerful melody of the song.
VM: Do you have any hobbies outside of music?
A: Yes, we do but sometimes we spend too much time on music and we forget that there is a life outside the studio.
VM: What particular styles gets people moving in the clubs you play?
A: Marco really likes “kanio”, which is what people want, it’s easy to dance to and very rhythmic. Stefano likes “butch” which means less easy to dance to, we respect Stefano because his music is really difficult to make….good melodies…and a groove perfect for those melodies.
VM: Macerata, Italy is your hometown, a medieval historic country, if you guys were living back in old times what would be your profession?
A: We would like to be 2 solitary musicians along the road in the countryside, playing only with a guitar and a percussion.
Look out for their upcoming tracks: Indian Snake, Minimal Polizei with Kanio, Remixes with Steve Nocerino on Airbus.
