“Soaring rhythms from a Panorama Bar resident.
Massimiliano Pagliara came to Berlin from Lecce, Italy, to be a professional dancer. “That’s what I was doing at the very beginning,” he once told us. “But then, you know, Berlin nightlife, clubbing and all of that.” Now, save the occasional strikingly lithe move in the DJ booth, Pagliara’s given that up for a life of making others dance, whether as a DJ, producer or label curator. Working amidst his vast and lovingly assembled collection of synthesizers, he crafts sonically rich cuts of house and disco with a hint of Balearic flair, with pastel-colored albums and EPs on labels like Ostgut Ton, Live At Robert Johnson and Cocktail d’Amore Music. This year, he also started his own label, Funnuvojere Records. As a DJ, he’s honed his craft at some of the world’s best dance floors, holding residencies at both Panorama Bar and Robert Johnson.
In his productions and his DJ sets, Pagliara has a sonic richness and sun-kissed aesthetic that makes him irresistible for fans of house and disco’s modern mutations, though he’s just as comfortable with sleek techno rhythms and writhing acid lines. RA.678 shows him running at full tilt, cherry-picking bits from every corner of his musical universe.”
