Rio Soldierman

Valerio Soldà aka Rio Soldierman . Electronic music producer and DJ based in Pordenone , Italy. His musical flavour has been strongly in uenced by the hip hop and R n’B music of the early ’90s, mainly because of his older sister being a true fan of the old school funky kick and snare beats. Like all the teenagers Valerio had a dream: becoming a turntabilist. In 2004 Valerio bought his first pair of 1200’s and evolved from music lover to rookie turntabilist. Together with the turntable manipulation he had the chance to get in touch with the world of audio sampling. From that moment Valerio spent most of his free time on the computer, learning how to compose music , starting from hip hop beats and later passing trough breakbeat, drum n’bass, downtempo,
