XYdamage is the moniker of the Italian born, Aarhus based producer and musician Lorenzo P. His newest release bedsheets / beneath, is the culmination of four years of work, an emotional and introspective take on Scandinavian techno, inspired by Danish techno producers such as Bjørn Svin, SØS Gunver Ryberg, Sofus Forsberg and Ctrls.
A conceptual and cinematic techno track, dark and dystopian. Starting in dark ambient territory, it progressively builds to a chaotic and noisy wall of sound, much more focused on emotional potency than the dance floor...
Born in Italy, he started making dance music in his bedroom as a teenager, under the influence of UK artists such as Jon Hopkins and Aphex Twin. When he moved to Denmark in 2018, he was exposed to the Danish underground techno scene and Berlin techno. Fascinated by the genre’s ability to feel good and euphoric on the dance floor, while at the same time offering a rebellious and emotional sense of catharsis, he started focusing exclusively on making techno.
This culminated in the 2019 release Radiotech / Somewhere produced while attending the “Musik og teaterhøjskolen”, a folk high school for the performing arts. A year later, in 2020, with the release of Cardiophobia / Metallurgy, co-produced by fellow Danish producer Plebber, his techno streak had fully developed into his signature bleak and “submerged” aesthetic.
