Forma Podcast 002 by Giuseppe Falivene

Driven by the vitality of youth, and a clear ambition to learn and to evolve, Giuseppe Falivene has quickly become a regular name on the virtual shelves of Formaviva. His expansive form of techno, ranging from deepest dub ruminations to anodised peak-time weapons, can be found on labels like Lowless, Annulled Music, Oslated, Subosc, and more.

As we re-ignite our Forma mix series, heading at full speed towards 2021, we invited Giuseppe to record a mix for our community.

Falivene’s on-point selection draws from a host of figures intrinsic to the history of left-field techno. Tracks by luminaries like Luke Slater, Mike Parker, and Sleeparchive are deployed with skill and reverence, yet the Italian selector also looks to today’s new breed for inspiration and contrast - cuts by Voices From The Lake, Psyk, Dold, Aleksi Perala and Kuf all add their contemporary sparkle.

A churning, bass-heavy sci-fi novella for the ears, Falivene combines the classic foundations of the first-wave masters with some of today’s brightest talents in this well-crafted mix.
