Biography

Nu Genea is the artistic project from musicians/djs Massimo Di Lena and Lucio Aquilina. The inspirational key comes from a historiographic investigation on dance music since its first steps: following the music routes around the world, Nu Genea collected the sonic echoes that, down the centuries, have touched the shores of Napoli, their hometown and inexhaustible source of cross-cultural sensitivity. Their meticolous research stands out for exploring uncharted territories, scouting the music from the past and elaborating it in an original groovy equation fully pervaded by disco, funk, boogie, electronic, dub, folk and much more. After the success of the album "The Tony Allen Experiments" (2015), a collaboration with Tony Allen - original drummer of Fela Kuti - in 2018 they’ve released "Nuova Napoli" LP on their own label NG Records, as a tribute to their hometown: the synthesizers fill the spaces between the past and the future, tightening in a single body acoustic instruments, electronics and voices in Neapolitan language. This album, much appreciated by the specialized critics, hits the market as one of best-seller vinyls in 2019 according to Discogs platform: #2 in Global market, #1 in Italy, #2 in France. Nuova Napoli live band toured over prestigious clubs and festivals - from Dekmantel in Amsterdam to Strawberry Fields in Australia, from Queremos! in Brazil to ClubToClub in Turin, from New Morning in Paris to Strelka in Moscow.
