In Session: ItaloJohnson

There are plenty of artists out there that market themselves through their anonymity as a way of selling records. Some do it with masks and the like and there are some that just want the music to be the main focus of the act without gimmicks or pretense.

ItaloJohnson fall into the latter category and although their identities and appearances have been kept under wraps, they've been putting out some of the most exciting house and techno of recent years.

Very few acts have gained as much momentum, so quickly, without us knowing so little about them.

So what do we know about the vinyl-only selectors? We know that they're a trio based in Germany and that's about it in terms of facts...

They burst onto the scene back in 2010 with an ItaloJohnson stamped vinyl called ITJ01. The 'Untitled' EP contained three tracks called 'Untitled' and every release since then, ten now over the last six years, have been labelled the same.

So that's around 40 tracks with no names or no titles and selectors with no identities or background. We're left very little to work with other than one important thing, the most important thing. The music.
