Music is his lifeblood. His fascination with electronic music was sparked at the age of 12, as he discovered and became infatuated by dance music. The adventure began to take place at the age of 20 when he started playing his groovy sounds in several small nightclubs. Mixing up styles and moods but always focused on the dance floors needs and desires. It was only when he discovered the functionality and the deep, uncharted depths of techno music, that he started producing and hence began cultivating his own sound. His first release was launched in 2010 on Push It Records with �gExhaust�h. It didn�ft take long for the next release, �gSymposium�h to follow on the Canadian label Monique Music. He got some great support of many DJ�fs such as Massimo Girardi, Deltano �c Today he plays with energy and inspiration in some of the best Techno clubs in Belgium like Cafe' D�fanvers, Silo, Decadance and he has his very own concept �gBalance�h in The Zoo. As both a producer and DJ, Ilario nods to Techno�fs past and fully engages with its future, driven by the same vision, passion and love of music that drives the Thrill Recordings team in all that they do, and all that will come.
