And to top it all up, he recently joined the top one hundred deejays of the world.

When he fell in love with Ibiza and returned to the more abstract nuances of electronic music, many of his fans got startled and thought he would abandon his tech-house roots. But instead, he merged them with the present trends and delivered it on records such as Simple Things Do Work and remix for Nathan Fake’s Outhouse, bringing the latter to the hottest compilations of the season. And he just got fairly warmed-up…

Already a big name DJ within his native Slovenia, in 1995 a club called ‘Ambasada Gavioli’ opened and Valentino Kanzyani became known as the man behind one of Slovenia’s most famous venues. During a three and a half year period he booked and played with literally every DJ from around the globe but as the new millennium approached he left to concentrate on his own DJing and production work. It was after going into the studio with his old friend, Umek that Valentino was to release his first record as Recycled Loops on Primevil in the summer of 1999. Thus, Valentino Kanzyani’s name was soon to be heard in DJ sets all over the world and similarly his DJ gigs went supernova as he joined the jet set elite of globe-trotting record spinners.

Following the success of their initial release Umek and Valentino set up Recycled Loops as a label and have never looked back. Now having released some 12 records the duo also co-run Earresistible for their more house inspired production work whilst Valentino Kanzyani’s single-handed production skills have graced labels as varied as Intec with the ‘House Soul EP’ and Tronic (‘Burros Eslovenos’) to Yoshi Toshi with the massive ‘Flying’ whilst he has most recently remixed Carl Cox’s new single, gaining Essential Selection status from Pete Tong.

Earresistible evolved due to the pair’s shared passion for tribal house and elements of this and Valentino’s techno side can be witnessed on the expertly mixed CDs ‘Rock The Discotheque’ Volumes 1 and 2 (Matrix Musik) and the 40 odd remixes he has carried out on labels such as 23rd Century, Premier Sounds, 20:20, Urbana, Shine, ZYX, Intec, Wet Musik and the list goes on…
