Deep South and Desires come together to bring Massimilano Pagliara Massi describes his style as an eclectic mix of house, disco, electro and techno – one may call it current-yet-classic. DJing has since led to production. These days Massi lets his obsession with analog synths run wild – usually he’s holed up in his apartment studio, working on his latest productions. 2011 saw the release of his debut album Focus For Infinity (on Live At Robert Johnson), followed by his sophomore LP With One Another in 2014. February 2017 saw his debut release on Ostgut Ton with the EP Time And Again.

February 2020 saw his debut on Munich’s label Permanent Vacation with his new EP Nothing Stays In One Place For Long, in 2021 he added the third part of his Uncanny Valley label trilogy with the EP Connection Lost Pt. 3. His latest album See You In Paradise releases in October 2022, once again with Permanent Vacation, well acclaimed worldwide and earning the German Records Critics Award. Then also add this: In 2023 he released a new EP-collaboration “For You” together with Chris Cruse under their moniker “Couple Looking” and a single “All The VCOs You Can Eat” , both of these on his own Funnuvojere Records. But he’s not always alone: Massi has been collaborating with luminaries around town such as gui.tar, Snax, Daniel Wang, Lemercier & The Lala By, Discodromo as well as other international artists.
