Tutto Matto

Tutto Matto is an Italian electronic duo consisting of Jurij Prette and Paolo Guglielmino. Their sound identity is rooted in a massive 20,000-record library, spanning rare groove, jazz, and Afro-disco.

Initially emerging from the Italian Irma Records scene, they gained international prominence after moving to London and signing with Tim 'Love' Lee's Tummy Touch label. Their evolution is marked by a shift from heavy sampling to a more sophisticated blend of live instrumentation and electronic production, a move prompted by a desire to match the technical prowess of the funk legends they admired. Critically, they are viewed as key figures in the 'nu-disco' and 'acid jazz' revival of the late 90s and early 2000s, often associated with the 'deep-clash' and eclectic house movements. Their work is characterized by high-energy basslines, a playful sense of humor, and a 'fried' analog production style that avoids the sterility of digital-only electronic music. They occupy a cultural space between the crate-digging obsession of record collectors and the hedonistic requirements of the dance floor.
