Alberto Pizzarelli Returns with The President After 25 Years

Italian producer Alberto Pizzarelli is back in the electronic music scene after twenty-five years with "The President", a daring, cinematic cut of melodic techno that connects eras. Pizzarelli was active in the late nineties and early 2000s with projects like Supercar's "Tonite" and Jollymask's "The Family", and at that time, he was delivering the energy of a European dancefloor to projects with infectious energy. He's come back with a developed perspective of nostalgia and re-imagination. 

"The President" is a track that shines with layers of depth. From pulsating basslines to sweeping synth progressions and a rhythmic tension that evolves throughout, this work rises above the sound piles of many productions. There is a strong cinematic quality contributing to storytelling, rather than being strictly for a dancefloor or club environment. 

Many techno tracks rely heavily on repetition, but wrangling atmosphere and melody into the beat draws poignant tension into sound, while feeling forward-driven and contemplative at the same time. The arrangements feel as much for the headphone listener and contain grooves for the dancefloor.

Pizzarelli expresses this comeback as “a prisoner finally free after 25 years.” That kind of freedom is felt in every beat of The President. It is a statement of survival and rebirth, evidence that true artistry never disappears; it simply changes after decades.
