Southern Italian artist Simone Gatto, versatile dj and composer, is a graduate music therapist who finds into music a dynamic source of emotions, reminds and energy. Since he was young, he has been exploring the charm of discovering and possessing records together with his father, a huge source of love and musical curiosity. Over the years, Simone has meant music as a possibility of communication, as a result of personal inspirations, as a bridge for getting in touch with people. Consequently, Simone’s music conception doesn’t stick only to the club environment or to pure home-listening: he considers music as a vital source for reaching interior wellness, as a way to communicate successfully, as a means to relieve or cure any wound whatsoever.
Simone’s first contact with music was early in 2004 and since then, he’s been known for globe-trotting around the world to perform quality house and techno shows and managing his own label Out Electronic Recordings with his partner Andrea Santoro, releasing music from relevant house and techno artists like Juan Atkins, Terrence Dixon, The Analogue Cops, Christopher Rau, Efdemin, Orlando Voorn, Ed Davenport, Aubrey, Legowelt, Conforce and many others.
In 2016 he released his debut album Detachment for the American label and event platform Sheik’n’Beik, consisting in a rising journey in between ambient, electronic and techno excursions.
The variety of experiences and musical stimuli has brought Gatto to research the music potential together with the Italian
University of Lecce on an ever-increasing scientific and
emotional scale. The results have led to the organization of several seminars and workshops, organized through Out Electronic Recordings and happening in between Italy, Germany and Holland, in which artists and music industry experts examine the relationship between sounds and emotions from diverse perspectives.
In March 2019 he obtained a master’s degree certificate in Cymatic Therapy from Cymatic Technologies (Atlanta), an advanced sound technology method which applies to identify the precise combinations of frequencies associated with healthy tissue and organ systems.
In June of the same year he became a non-verbal therapy technician based on Rolando Benenzon's Music Therapy model.
Simone has a genuine interest in people and a desire to help others empower themselves. He did specialize in Music Therapy at the Italian National Institute of Arts Therapy - ARTEDO and he has been working as a Music Therapist for three years now, establishing caring and professional relationships with people of all ages and abilities.
From 2017 to 2020 he released 3 albums on his own imprint (focused on sound therapy and mindful sounds made to support your body's innate ability to self-heal) into which the personal path the artist and the musical context he's studied and lived, has been offered to the world of music enthusiasts.
