Ankle Release

Ankle Release is a DJ and Producer duo from Lecco Lake in Italy. This project represents the meeting of the HipHop-Underground culture of Triplex and the more Disco-Funk side of Fabietto Delgado, the perfect fusion that makes their production philosophy energetic in the world of electronic music. From a young age music has always been present in Triplex's life, studying classical guitar until the age of 12. But it’s at the end of the 90s that the most significant change takes place, remaining fascinated by the Hip Hop culture, initially with freestyle and then approaching the world of sampling and productions. The natural consequence is the purchase of his first sampler and the beginning of a deep musical research, digging among his father's vinyls and fishing pearls of black music among the record shops and second-hand markets. In the following years, after a progressive experience in the studio, he produces and collaborates with some underground Mc's from all over the national territory, playing at the same time as a DJ in many local events ranging from black music to electronic music, to get to play the role of producer in the Ankle Release project by combining the art of sampling with the most modern House Music and Nu-Disco production techniques. DJ since the age of 15, Fabietto Delgado's passion for music pushed him to listen to almost everything through years: from the eldest Jethro Tull's albums to the contemporary sounds, passing through all the various kinds of music,but always with particular attention for Funk, Jazz, Soul and Latin American music. This one allows him to get in touch with the percussion world, which started to study. Meanwhile he switched his dj set in Lombardy with many nights by clubber in the best north Italy discos, where he goes to follow all his favourite Djs, one for all Tony Humphries and all the american old school house of the early '90s. In 1999 he took part of Rete 104, a Lecco local radio station. Here he worked as a selector and technician in a House Music radio show called Groovemarket, and in the Saturday night selection called 104 Night Session until 2002. During his set he drives you on the way of the new House and Electronic Music various facetings, until the Old School House, the Disco-Funk and World Music. In 2005 Fabietto Delgado has been selected by RIN (Radio Italia Network) to take part in a DJ Contest powered worldwide by Heineken (Heineken Found @ Thirst) and this project allowed him to collaborate with the same radio and to play in some famous italian clubs, sharing the consolle with Pete Tong and Paul Oakenfold. In 2010 he gives birth with his friend Roberto Praianò the Melgado Project, which will take their first productions to the Gianni Bini's Checkmate Records, and lately to Fingerprint, Recline, and Paolo Martini's Paul's Boutique, gaining very good feedbacks from top worldwide Djs. In 2012 “Take Me” with the claimed NiCe7, this tune will be released by Noir Records and will arrive in the Beatport chart thanks to the support of many big Djs, such as the legendary Laurent Garnier. His latest releases are on Sub_Urban, Snake Beat, Doner Music, Blacksoul, Midnight Riot, Masterworks Music.
