When Demetrio Giannice started to go out to the legendary “Flamingo Club, Zurich” in 1993, he was deeply impressed, making his first contact with the club scene of that time. This influenced him to change his take on music: putting aside the guitar, quitting the band he was playing in. One year later, he happened to start his DJ career in small venues around Zurich. A long break from classic musicianship followed, with time mostly spent in clubs, studios and record stores till it was time for Demetrio to get re-involved by the end of the 90's, and in 2001, he released his first white label record on his imprint M.A.R
In 2002, he organized his first party “vibrator 02″ on Zurich’s busiest weekend of the year: that of the Street Parade. It was an after hour on the following Sunday morning, featuring acts like Pascal Feos, Dixon, Peak Nick & Ilo.
From 2005 on, his monthly nine hours net radio show m.a.r. was broadcasted via audioasyl.net. In 2006, he founded the “vollscharf – wollscharf” after hour event series, aiming to bring to music to the people and the people to the lake side, where these outdoor parties were taking place. This series featured artists including Marshall Jefferson, Mike Huckaby, The Deep Dicks and a lot of others.
2007 saw the respected British label Third Ear getting interested in tracks by Demetrio, which were finally released in 2009 on the „Talk EP“. In 2008, the track „Eleven“ was released on the Drumpoet “verse 2″12 inch, earning a lot of positive feedback. Early 2009, he got the chance to remix one of Deep House’s legends, Chez Damier, the result of which was released in December 2009 on Mojuba’s G.O.D.2 .
After that, Chez Damier and Demetrio joined forces as producers on several projects and as well as label joint venture between Chez's Balance Alliance and Demetrio’s Enterbt Rec. The first collaboration to be released was the “Adventures in Barcelona” EP (the tracks credited to Timnah Sommerfeldt, „Feel Me Up“ and a dub version of the same number, were in fact produced by Chez Damier and Demetrio Giannice), out on Balance Alliance/ Enterbt – BA 006 in January. 2010.
Demetrio has several releases coming up, including this second EP for Third Ear, entitled „Slow“, as well as new productions due on his own Enterbt Records. Actually, there’s a lot more to come, but it’s not yet the moment to talk about all that. Stay tuned!
