Donati & Amato

Donati & Amato With their tracks ‘Falling’, ‘Fiendish’ and ‘Wild Horses’ all getting various plays on BBC Radio One as well as Capital FM, FG and a host of other international radio stations as well as being supported by names such as Tiesto, Guetta, Thomas Gold, R3hab, Afrojack, Daddy’s Groove, Steve Aoki, Laidback Luke, Swanky Tunes, Basto, Dyro, Bobby Burns and a host of others, Donati & Amato are on track and loving every minute of it!!!   Backed by a mass collective of elite spinners that include Benny Benassi, Roger Sanchez, Alex Gaudino and Jamie Lewis, Italian natives Donati & Amato have been steadily rising up the dance scene ladder of late with ever growing strength in their production output which has been backed by numerous club dates to global audiences.   Perhaps most famed for their 2010 release Donati & Amato vs. ATFC ‘Thrill Me’, which is a still a playlist favourite among DJs and radio shows worldwide from Defected to Release Yourself. The talented DJ and producer duo have since seen many of their other release shooting up charts from the UK Cool Cuts, Beatport and Music Week dance chart. With a production armoury that consists of dance floor gems such as ‘Like an Angle’ and their latest releases ‘Falling’ and ‘Back In My Arms’, reaching number 1 and number 5 in the UK up-front chart, the future of Donati & Amato appears to be gleaming with positives.   Donati & Amato may also be familiar under their Hernandez Vs. DJ Tyo guise; a pseudonym that has seen them put out tracks like ‘Let’s Get Down’ – which was picked up and heavily rotated by Subliminal head Erick Morillo.   Outside of the studio the pair operates some of Italy’s key dance imprints such as Starside Records, 2Sonic Records and E-Lab Music. Mainstays for the Italian dance scene for some time, the labels have since garnered a reputable reputation for discovering new music and emerging producers leading to strong airtime support for the labels and its artists’ reaching high positions on various charts including Beatport.   With their specialist radio show Kunique, which is broadcast weekly on Italy’s leading dance music radio station M2o, Donati & Amato are a leading light in the country for pushing new and upfront dance music whilst acting as a channel for listeners to tune-in to a wide selection of guest DJs from Copyright, Chocolate Puma Jesse Voorn, Scumfrog, Avicii and many others.   Through their individual experiences both artists have produced and mastered countless dance tracks for a list of artists over the years; Amato most notably being part of the dance outfit DWA famed for the 1992 club classic ‘Please Don’t Go’ that went onto sell in excess of 10 million sales worldwide, while Donati on the other hand has seen singles out on the label of Alex Neri, as well as on Sony Europe. All this combined talent means this vivacious duo have the necessary skills and foresight to turn a simple idea in the studio into a killer dancefloor favourite. Which may explain why the demand for their name on club billings worldwide has been rapidly on the rise?   Last Summer you could find Donati and Amato seeing out a 9 date residency at The Paradise Club in Mykonos between July and August playing alongside some of the biggest names in the business as well as countless other gigs not only in their home country of Italy but also all over the globe…
