RALF + CAROLA PISATURO In 1987 Antonio Ferrari a/ka/ Ralf decided to take a trip to New York City, in order to experience the rich culture of fashion, music and art that the city was, and is, renowned for. In '87 New York was reeling from the twin effects of hip-hop and house (or garage as some heads in New York and New Jersey like to call it) and the music coming out of the city was impacting the entire globe. This visit to the Big Apple proved to be a significant step in his career. The music in NY's clubs inspired him to start a party back home that was primarily focused on the innovative house music coming out of his native Italy. Since then he has remained a key element of the Italian house music scene, taking his signature style to clubs all over Europe and the world. For Ralf music elevates the spirit and releases nervous tension. It is an indispensable part of his daily life, and an inspiration for those who are fortunate enough to attend his parties and hear his excellent sets. ---------------------------- As a product of both Rome and Naples, Carola Pisaturo inherited the incredible liveliness that the two of these amazing cities are known for. Her passion for music is true devotion — a uniquely Italian mix that lies halfway between spirituality and sensuality. But there is not only music in Carola’s life. Like all those who have grown up surrounded by beauty, Carola also has a solemn passion for art and culture. Which has led to things like her collaboration with Nike (developing both music and visuals for their 2009 Spring-Summer collection) Smart, her participation in the prestigious Red Bull Academy, the collaboration with PS1 – MOMA of New York and her tutoring role towards young artists (whose works are used as covers for her label releases). In addition, Carola founded and manages Claque Musique, an imprint that deals in both young producers and big names (such as the chameleonic wunderkind Jay Haze or Bodycode), not to mention some of Carola’s own productions. The distinctive sound of the label mirrors that of Carola’s own sets — a fluid mix of house, funk and techno with a genuinely Mediterranean vibe and attitude.
