Bside incoming: Nocui

Bside incoming: Nocui Welcome back to Bside! Summertime is in full swing and show #169 with our guest Nouci sure brings them glorious rays. Nocui (Leo Di Fiore), is an Italian native who has a rich and diverse musical background. Starting life as a talented multi-instrumentalist in classical music in Rome, he was immersed in musical theory and inspired by top Italian musicians. As a teenarger he was captivated by electronic music and started DJing and collecting records as young as 14. Moving to Boston in his later teens he was fascinated by the thriving jazz scene which heavily shaped his taste. Now he lives in Berlin and has honed all of his earlier influences into his own productions and created the label, Shapeless Culture. His recently released EP, Anomie gained praise from the likes of MixMag came about when he returned to Rome to look after his father, with many of the tracks a cathartic experience that brought them closer. Check it out here - https://nocui.bandcamp.com/album/anomie-2 The records that Nocui selects for this bside podcast you could say reflects his own musical journey throughout his life with changing times, countries and styles. It opens with some 80's Italian disco/funk records that would have been prominent in his childhood, before moving to uplifting American house and jazz that he would have heard in Boston nightclubs. Next he moves to modern electronic music which has influenced his own productions in Berlin, before ending with soothing ambient records. Enjoy!
