Azimute
A new musical project combining the energies of rising Techno and House Dj-producer Cesare Marchese and veteran DJ-producer Philippe Quenum. In its first few months it has attracted the attention of major players on the electronic music scene, kicking off with releases on Crosstown Rebels, Rebellion, Serialism, Azimute Music and Transmat Records.

Cesare Marchese (aka Cesare vs Disorder, Queen Atom, Strangers in Heaven, Cez) is the freshman in the band, but no newcomer to electronic music. His productions have been released on top labels such as BPitch Control and Get Physical. He was named “Beatport’s Ones to Watch” in 2009 and plays regularly at top clubs and festivals in all continents (Detroit Electronic Music Festival /WMC Miami Winter Conference / ADE Amsterdam/Off Sonar Barcelona) in addition to a residency at Monasterio Club in Moscow. His experience stretches to all aspects of the Techno and House universe; he’s been running his label Serialism from London since 2007 before moving to Berlin in 2010 and promotes label nights at Watergate, Fabric, Rex Club and other top clubs in Europe. Quenum is well-known in the scene and well respected for his longevity and quality contributions. He started his first label Ac- cess58 in London in 1995 and co-founded Cadenza Records with Luciano few years later, composing with him the techno anthem Orange Mistake. His discography stretches over decades and continents, and includes top labels such as Soma, Crosstown Re- bels and NovaMute among many others. Following Quenum’s release of his first album, Face to Face, on Serialism Records, the two artists became close friends.

They quickly realised they share a common musical vision and way-of-life, one centered on friendship and bringing happiness to those around them through music. This is the vision that Azimute wants to share in their performances, a journey, a fresh and joyful experience daring to discover new realms of musical bliss.
