A.k.a. French Fries Valentino Canzani Mora

Seamlessly incorporating influences of movement, expression and soul into his production, Valentino Mora has never strayed far from this ethos since experimenting with music from a very young age. Raised by Uruguayan parents - of which his father was a trained sound engineer and musician, Mora was surrounded by music and exposed to producing constantly throughout his childhood. Before shifting back to his given name, Mora had a string of releases including one LP under his French Fries moniker, during which time he co-curated Clekclekboom recordings, as well as handled artistic direction for the label. Since then he has shifted his attention to his own label ‘IDO’ - or - Intercontinental Dance Organization. Drawing inspiration from the early house scene IDO centres around melting percussion, breaks and techno into a rhythmic migration of hypnotic soundscapes. Furthermore, IDO is Mora’s outlet for demonstrating his explorations of sound that he has discovered between his travels of Tokyo and since relocating to Berlin. For bookings: donelle@oddfantastic.com
