艺人介绍
Etnica is a project originally formed by Carlo Paterno, Max Lanfranconi, Maurizio Begotti, and Andrea Rizzo. They are a very well known Goa trance project from Milan Italy.
1993-1998
Max Lanfranconi, Maurizio Begotti, Carlo Paterno and Andrea Rizzo met during various parties in Italy at the end of the 1980s. Altogether they started to compose music in the early 90s as The Etnica Band but before that Max had already released as co-producer two singles in the mid-80’s on an independent Italian label Time Out. Max was also famous in Milan for the organization of the famous Dance All Night parties, the first official parties in Italy to last till the morning lights. Andrea had a solid classical music background that combined with the melodies of Carlo and Maurizio‘s sense of arrangement would soon lead to the production of some of the most classics goa trance tracks.
Their first EP was published on Brainstorm Records in 1994, and was entitled “The EP”. Their first album, “The Juggeling Alchemists Under The Black Light”, was out in 1995 on the German label High Society. This helped the band to build a solid reputation in the Psychedelic Trance scene. Their second album, the classic “Alien Protein”, was released in 1996 on Blue Room Released.
The band, beside producing music as Etnica, had the idea of creating a party-oriented side project and after some thoughts the name Pleiadians was forged. Starting off with an EP on Symbiosis Records in 1995, they have produced with the original band members two albums, “Identified Flying Object” (1997) and “Family of Light” (1999) in which Carlo was partially involved. Their first album, I.F.O., was started by Carlo during August ’96 and was then finalized with the other band members in September ’96, but released only a year after on Dragonfly Records.
They had another side project, Crop Circles, that was a collaboration with another Italian band, Lotus Omega and with that project they released 2 singles, Full Mental Jackpot & Lunar Civilization both released in 1997 on Auracle Recordings and also finalized an album in 1998, “Tetrahedron” that was finally released only in 2008 on DAT Records.
1998-present
In 1998 the band moved its studios to Ibiza where the project would be carried on by Max and Maurizio only. After the writing of their third full length album Equator (1999), Andrea left the band as well. Since 1999 the band has changed their sound to be up to the modern standards of production, following the worldwide trends and trying to achieve a more mature sound, after successfully proving that they could realize some of the best goa trance tracks ever.
Their fourth album, Nitrox (2001) is the result of this evolution and worked really well on the dance-floors at the time of release. The following album, Chrome (2002) displayed a further development in sound production and clarity and was so successful that they released two versions, one for Europe and one for Japan. Their sixth Etnica album Sharp (2004) was liked by old time fans too as it featured a return of melodies, like they did in the past times, but still showed a crystal clear and professional production. In 2006 a seventh album was released, Totemism, featuring all their best hits remixed by the most famous psytrance producers of the millennium. This one was highly acclaimed by fans worldwide.
The Pleiadians project was relaunched in 2006 with the release of a third opus, an album called 7even Sister7, that delivered many sci-fi oriented tracks, released on Harmonia Records. Etnica are still very active in the scene and weekly performing DJ and Live sets all around the world.
