Phooka

Concrete (Label Boss) / Diffuse Reality / Warok Music

Phooka, also known as Francesco Maddalena, born in 1978, is the official father of Homework project, one of the main electronic netlabels in Italy. Charmed by sounds and edgy rhythms, at first he approached electronic music with IDM and experimental productions, then he became interested in techno/minimal-techno productions, but without entirely departing from his first interest.

In 2010 he founded Concrete Records, with Maurizio Cascella, Daniele Bazzanti & Joe Casagrande, a new techno/experimental label based in Rome, focused on the research to contribute creatively and effectively to the spread of a new way of doing electronic music: work together to overcome the current patterns of production and facilitating the search for a style shared, the result of experience, of sounds and musicals choices of artists from all over the world.
