Marco Caricola

Apulian musician and record producer Marco Caricola hails from a new generation of artists portraying the cultural richness of the Mediterranean under the light of experimental electronic music. His compositions play distinctively on the contrast between genres and themes, venturing from avant-garde pop and ambient to industrial beats and noise. This contrast is heavily reflected in Marco’s DJ sets that quickly shift between deconstructed club sounds and Latin-inspired bass music. His performances create a peculiar atmosphere that has progressively captivated the attention of international platforms, music festivals, and web radios.

With the self-released debut HILOS EN HILOS, Marco showcases his hybrid range and unique blend of influences across eight multi-lingual songs. The music is presented as an extension of the namesake short film co-produced with Mexican-Egyptian visual artist Laila Saber Rodriguez, showcased across Europe by 25AV Platform in 2023 with a final screening by Milan’s Triennale.

Currently, the Italian artist is a resident DJ and show host for Stegi Radio and Radio alHara, for which he curated the Sonic Protest Puglia broadcast for Palestine in November 2023 gathering over 140 international artist submissions in a 4-hour mix. Previously, Marco was also an artist/researcher in residence for Linecheck (Music Innovation Hub), KORA Center (DEFAULT22), and CAD+SR.
