John Type is a dj, producer and turntablist who has been specializing
in scratching since 1997 and who was champion of the Italian Skratch
Kombat in 2003 and third place winner of DMC World Championship in
2008.
In 2001 he joined Alien Army, the most important DJ band in Italy,
holding twelve first place awards for their music from organizations
like DMC and ITF. He published "The End" with Alien Army on Irma
Records and Bomb Hip Hop (USA), which was judged by URB Magazine as
one of the 50 best albums of Hip Hop Underground in 2003.
Thanks to his natural talent he has proved to be an excellent composer and
producer, capable of crossing styles with ease and originality, moving
freely between jazz, funk, electronica, hip hop, experimental music and
more. The fruits of his labors can be heard in his first solo album,
"Lunatic Decadence", with appearances by D-Styles (Los Angeles), Mike Boo
(San Francisco), Tayone, Laura Falcinelli, and Bozorius, which will come out
in 2010 on Irma Records.  In 2007, he started the John Type Ensemble, a band
that of six people with instruments that include record players, bass
guitar, drums, keyboards, trumpet and trombone.
