Petronio - Bootyology (2022)

In the late 90”, he installed a gigantic Olivetti server in the car-isbo bank caveau in Bologna’s main square undergrounds, a labyrinth of catacombs, bomb shelters and underground waterways.
Down there he found a dusty mpc 2000xl in an abandoned occupied room, probably an italo disco studio once belonged to Gaznevada, Confu-sional quartet or Datura? …. Hard to tell.

Randomly pushing a button after one other PETRONIO was born.

A complete music noob with some pretty good dancer’s legs, party af-ter party, club after club, Petronio’s spontaneous house sensibil-ity started to take shape, a fine line between Detroit and the rivi-era.
That cash register became many nights best buddy, burning recording session, kilometers of tape and liters of vodka.
No one is a prophet in his own country, Chicago’s Jordan Fields signs two decades of production but releases only “the Rainbow” on his Oldschool Grooves Records & tapes.

Now, 20 years later Petronio debut’s album will be released on Flexi Cuts.
