Italian techno DJ, Producer and label owner of Shout Records (2010) and of Nightmare Factory Records (2011)   - Hi Electrorites, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions. Can you give us a short introduction to you / Shout Records / Nightmare Factory Records?  E: Thanks to you. My passion started 26 years ago. As an Italian techno DJ, i started to play 6 years ago in Europe. Later i also became producer. In 2010, i launched my first label Shout Records and in June 2011 my second label Nightmare Factory Records was born. They are two different labels with different styles of music, but both represent a lot of great artists! Last year was a great year, full of work with my labels, in the clubs, and in the studio. I worked on my first album, Structures, which was released last September on my label Nightmare Factory Records. It was a dream because you know, the first album is always something special.  - Your recently released track, "Spherical Geometry" on MFM Rec
