BIOGRAPHY OF CIANCIO D.J.
Ciancio DJ alias Antonio Stanzani was born in Bologna and
has cultivated his passion for music since adolescence. In the early '80s he
bought his first records by wandering around the numerous specialized shops in
his city. He remembers with nostalgia the famous and historic
"Nannucci" in via Oberdan (opened in 1936), "La Coja Di
Désc", "La Casa Del Disco", "Ricordi", "Terminal
Music", "Camarillo" and "Borsari Sarti". In 1985, with
the purchase of the two "Technics 1200" turntables, he embarked on a
career as a deejay, contributing to the local music scene for a decade through
various discos between Bologna and Modena. During this period he recorded
approximately 500 programs on audio cassette, amassing an extraordinary
collection of over 7000 vinyl records, thus testifying to his dedication and
contribution to the world of music.
He decided to leave the nightclub scene, but his passion
for music and the art of mixing never waned. He continued to produce programs
and collect records, and thanks to this website, he decided to generously share
his latest mixed sets with the public for free. Although mixing is now
considerably facilitated by technology, for an old-school DJ like him, the real
satisfaction still lies in using vinyl records. It's fascinating to observe how the passion for music
persists despite changes in the technological landscape. The act of making his
creations available to the public through the online platform signifies a
genuine desire to share art and music with a broad audience. This approach not
only allows reaching a wider audience than traditional nightclub events but
also creates an online community of music enthusiasts. While technological
progress has streamlined the mixing process, the use of vinyl records adds a
touch of authenticity and nostalgia, providing a unique experience appreciated
by purists and those who value the history of music and the art of deejaying. In
conclusion, the intricate blend of passion, technology, and musical tradition
shines through in this DJ's mixed sets, creating a compelling experience and a
lasting connection with his audience.
