Name: Motel Connection Born on the very beginning of the new millennium, Motel Connection made waves alongside the Italian dance scene throughout all this years. Ask why? Well… They’re special, they’re different. in 2001 film director Marco Ponti asked them to create the soundtrack for his “Santa Maradona” movie. In 2002, it was the time for “Give Me A Good Reason To Wake Up”, their debut album, warmly received by the critics just as by the audience. 2004, once again Marco Ponti is looking for Motel Connection’s touch, asking them to take care of the soundtrack of his following film, “A/R”. Who are Motel Connection? You can say it’s house music. You can say that it’s something that deals with the so-called club culture, especially if you know about Krakatoa, their very own club night that in a few years has become a myth in the Italian club scene, with a weekly residency in Turin hosting guests like Josh Wink, Alex Smoke, Felix Da Housecat and Marco Carola. They’ve got a DJ on stage, but we’ve also got a bass player funky-as-hell, and a singer who can also indifferently play the guitar or spin the vinyl and a constant longing to communicate with people in front of them, introducing some of them for the first to the spirit of house music and club culture, but also fulfilling the needs of those aware of what happened in Chicago 20 years ago, in Detroit 15 years ago, or New York and Berlin now!
