On Saturday 11 May 2024 Villa Lontana Records presents "L'Appuntamento", a plein air live concert by Verde Prato introduced by a listening session on vinyl with Donato Dozzy.

Ana Arsuaga (aka Verde Prato) will perform a series of tracks from her upcoming album produced by Donato Dozzy himself. This encounter stems from a collaboration between a unique talent that express her identity through the power of her voice and one of the leading contemporary techno DJs and producers. 

Verde Prato sings in Basque and recovers the Basque oral tradition in her songs, taking the past into the future. Her language is Euskera, whose ancestral origins lay beyond the reach of historians and linguists. Stemming from folk, her sounds are a rhythmic foliage of electronic flourish bringing the listener through a journey into the heart of the forest.
Donato Dozzy (aka 'The Professor') is an iconic Rome-based DJ/producer. His brand of ambient techno is lush and hypnotic to the point of being therapeutic. His recordings, as well as his DJ sets and performances, typically consist of slowly evolving washes of sound with minimal yet detailed beats and occasional presence of natural sounds, or synthetic textures that imitate them. 



Villa Lontana Records is an experimental and independent record label based in Rome, run by Vittoria Bonifati and Michele Ferrari, which focuses on the production of new sounds, from electroacoustic to sonorous poetry, and from electromagnetism to field-recordings. Publishing both archival and unreleased material of the electronic avant-garde and contemporary sound-art scene, the label dedicates special attention to those artists who, although recognised as pioneers, drift in between realms.
