Biography



Well documented as one of the brightest new stars in techno, Joseph Capriati has made his name within the scene via his consistently high quality studio output. A natural talent with huge passion for music and entertaining, Capriati’s progression from newcomer to headliner has moved forward at an unrelenting pace since he made his production debut in 2007. Indeed, 2011 was no acceptation to what has come to be expected and will be remembered as another excellent vintage. Joseph’s solo tracks The Gallery, Psycology and Vesuvio for Drumcode and collaborations with Cari Lekebusch (Drumcode) and Paco Osuna (Plus 8) produced excellent reactions and topped the sales charts while Joseph also managed to find the creative space to deliver a number of excellent remixes; giving further proof as to his adaptability as a producer; remixing classic tracks from Adam Beyer (Drumcode), DJ Pierre (Bush) and Funk D’Void (Soma) as well as new releases from Alexi Delano & Tony Rohr (Sleaze), Ricardo Ferri (Alchemy) and Pascal Mollin & Pan Pot (Touched).

Having begun 2011 with a non-stop schedule that took in four shows across Holland and Spain over NYE and NYD, Joseph has enjoyed a remarkable year with many highlights. Debuts appearances at Europe’s biggest festivals; Monegros, Spain; Awakenings, Amsterdam; Dave Clarke’s White Noise party at ADE and legendary clubs including Monza, Ibiza; Fabric, London; U60311, Frankfurt; Forsage, Kiev and Inox, Toulouse will live long in the memory. As will the many Drumcode tour dates which saw Joseph represent the label at Berghain, Berlin; SONAR @ Row 14, Barcelona; Komplex, Zurich; The Arches, Glasgow; Ewer Street Warehouse, London; Glade Festival, UK; Golden Gate, Naples (8 hours b2b w/ Adam Beyer), Brancalenone, Rome and Amnesia Milan. Outside of Europe, Joseph had another amazing year touring Latin America, touching down in Argentina, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Guatemala and Honduras for some of his most enjoyable and inspiring gigs of 2011.

Born and raised in the southern Italian city of Caserta, less than 30km from Naples, it was natural for a young, music-loving Capriati to be drawn to the big city to fulfill his musical curiosity. Having grown up on a diet of early hip hop and classic house from the likes of Masters At Work and Todd Terry, Capriati bought his first DJ console at the tender age of 11; cutting his teeth playing to his friends in garages after school. It was not until he was old enough to attend his first techno party that his passion for techno over-shadowed his early musical influences and set in motion the journey that has taken him to the position he is in today. As Joseph himself remembers, “the first time I heard techno was at Old River Park in Naples in 2003. It was a 12 hours party with Dave Clarke, Billy Nasty and Rino Cerrone. I was totally impressed by that sound and something in my mind changed.”

Inspired and energized, Joseph made the leap into production; slaving away on a home PC and hi-fi speakers, honing his skills for three years and eventually creating his first important records like C’est La Vie and Microbiotik which found their way on two of the most influential Neapolitan techno labels; Analytic Trail and Globox Records. From this moment on Joseph was made. What followed was an explosion in Joseph’s profile at home and abroad. Following his first high profile gig at Naples’s infamous 5000 capacity Golden Gate venue in October 2007, the young Neapolitan has not looked back; spreading his wings and travelling all over the globe. A highly attractive draw in Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain, Eastern Europe has meant regular appearances at Awakenings (Amsterdam), Berghain (Berlin), Row 14 (Barcelona), Fabrik (Madrid), Forsage (Kiev), Escape Club (Sofia), Studio Martin (Bucharest) and many more. However, Joseph’s reach goes far beyond Europe. Already established in South America, Joseph has built a strong connection with the crowds at Crobar and Inferno in Argentina and Carnival, Forum and Der Zoo in Columbia. He has played the exclusive WIRE Festival in Tokyo and made guest appearances at Bar 13 and Dos Torres in New York. Not afraid to reach out to the frontiers of electronic music, Joseph has travelled to the less well know techno hotspots like South Africa, Mauritius and Honduras where he has enjoyed some of his most memorable gigs; proud to be part of the development of these emerging scenes.

This clear and decisive change of approach is key to Capriati’s success. Quick to understand the professionalism and determination required in order to carve out a career for himself; Joseph’s passion and conviction is plain to see in the way he has gone about making and playing music. Whether it be having the confidence to release a debut album containing ambient tracks and Drum & Bass; or the discipline and creative freedom displayed to convinced Adam Beyer to release two multiple-track EP’s on his Drumcode label; or the versatility and insightfulness that characterizes Josephs DJ sets and enables him to connect with crowds across Europe, South America, Asia, North America and South Africa. 2010 gig highlights have ranged from warming up Cocoon in Frankfurt with a pitch perfect mix of tech house through to upstaging the entire Drumcode Total event at Berghain in Berlin with an impromptu four-hour back-2-back set with Adam Beyer. With his path laid out before him and the force of momentum behind him, Joseph Capriati welcomes the future with excited anticipation. “I just want to make music or play gigs everyday. It is the most important thing in my life. When I am in the studio or on stage I feel disconnected from the world and I enter another dimension where there is just the music, the people and myself. I could be sick, or be feeling sad about something, but when I’m playing I totally forget everything and this makes me happier. Looking at the people dancing and following my musical trip is an amazing thing. There is nothing better than this for me.” And so the future for Joseph Capriati is simple. Keep on doing what you love and do it with the passion and commitment that has proved so potent a driving force to this point.

  • Biografia

    Joseph Capriati begins 2011 in the enviable position of being exactly where he wants to be. Well documented as one of the brightest new stars in techno, 2010 was the year when Capriati’s natural talent and huge potential blossomed; reinforcing the momentum which has been driving the 23 year old Neapolitan’s career forward at an unrelenting pace since he made his production debut in 2007. Starting 2010 with his remixes of Adam Beyer’s seminal ‘Remainings III’, fans have been spoilt with a steady flow of landmark productions including the release of his debut album ‘Save My Soul’ on home town label Analytic Trail; his chart topping remix of Joey Beltram’s ‘Slice’ reissue; the marathon seven-track ‘Gashouder’ EP for Drumcode; and a debut on Richie Hawtin’s Plus 8 label via Joseph’s ‘Wope’ collaboration with Paco Osuna. It is then no wonder Joseph is content and ready for more success in 2011.
