MONONEGRO

Sardinian born, Andrea has played keyboards with rock, metal and punk bands in his native Sardinia since he was 17 years old. After buying his first Atari computer running Cubase, one year later, he started writing some electronic ambient music on his own and collaborating with other likeminded musicians, while still playing with many other bands.

In 1997 he left Sardinia to move to London where he discovered the psychedelic party scene through Pendragon at the Brixton Academy. He was inspired again by the chill out rooms at parties like Chichime, Astral Phoenix, Return To The Source and Fairy Tales to name a few.

In 2003 he played his first set at Chichime and he has since DJ’d in most London clubs and squat parties. He also became a regular DJ at the Psy Dream Temple chill out nights in Camden.

In 2003 he began to set up his own studio and once again immersed himself into the writing process.

His music is mostly Ambient and Downtempo with a psychedelic twist.
As a DJ he plays anything from Psy Chill, to Ambient, Dub, World and Lounge, sometimes even crossing over these styles in the same set.

Andrea aka Mononegro joined Free-Spirit Records as a label DJ and Producer in 2007 and is now also involved as their A&R.
