'Francesco Conti And Friends' episode 2 featuring Matthew Fisher.

'Francesco Conti and Friends' episode 2 features guest DJ Matthew Fisher. Scientific Sound Asia is the Asian electronic music station, promoter, and DJ agency for the region and globally.

Francesco Conti is a DJ and producer of electronic music who was born in Rome in the late seventies, he grew up in the radio station and rave scene in the Italian capital. He was moulded by the music that marked the end of the 80s and the early 90s, such as Acid House and Techno.

Over the years, he has reinterpreted these sounds and injected his own personal and original style. It all started in 1992 whilst collaborating with some radio stations in the capital, Rome, where he played in the major nightclubs.

In the summer of 2003, he relocated to the Adriatic coast, where he continued on his DJ Adventure. In 2006, he gained some notoriety by winning the "Equinox DJ competition" against 16 Italian DJs in Riccione along the Adriatic coast in Northern Italy.

This award opened the doors to Ibiza, where he took part in the island's important events every year. Then, about ten years ago, he started several record collaborations, including from 2017 to the present with Jambalay Records.

He currently collaborates with many online radio stations, including United Techno Familia and YouMixRadio. In these almost thirty years of activity, he has played with world-famous DJs, experiences that have enriched him, given him new stimuli and made him love music increasingly, which he considers a universal language without borders or barriers.

Guest DJ Matthew Fisher.

This episode's guest DJ is Matthew Fisher, who is an Italian DJ and producer whose career started aged 13 playing Latin House. He was born to an American father and a Greek mother, and his parents were a little wary and protective of electronic music at first.

As he grew older, he decided to study music at the academy and graduated with flying colours. Then he set off performing at events across Italy at a wide range of clubs and festivals.

In 2002, he gained a recording contract with Universal Music Italy, the first release being How Can I Believe in conjunction with Red Rossi and Mario Ragni. After his first release came an invitation to be part of The Wish Club in collaboration with Claudio Di Rocco, Coccoluto and David Morales.

Then in 2005, Matthew relocated to New York City, U.S.A. and in 2006, Matthew joined the CO2 recordings and Garudha Records. This launched Awoken, a fusion between European and American Businesses, producers, remixers and DJs.

Matthew continues to produce and is an engineer and creator of cutting-edge sounds that he releases on various labels. This month's show features Techno, Hard Techno, Tech Trance, and Trance.

The first hour begins with Francesco Conti moving immediately into firm and rhythmic territory through Knock In My House and Without You, shaping a strong club mood. Move Sumpthin and Flashback introduce sharper percussive drive, while the remix of Hit and Throw adds a familiar vocal moment set within a heavy Techno frame.

Energy strengthens further as Messenger and Clutch push the flow forward with deep drums and mechanical movement. The Bart Skils groove of Pump The Move brings a rolling, hypnotic swing before Conti deepens the session with his own Floor Six, adding acidic tension as the atmosphere grows darker. This continues into Back Fist, Acid Kraze and Warping, each track thickening the momentum with immersive and tightly built Techno. The hour closes with the intensity of Twins and the driving grip of Alejandra, completing a powerful and industrial first act.

The second hour opens with DJ Matthew Fisher steering the mood into melodic Trance. Forever and Solar Wind ease the transition through uplifting pads and a gradual build. Fausta and Waiting continue with warm leads and crisp low end that introduce a gentler emotional tone before Fisher shifts toward his own productions with Awoken and Exidia, both adding sharp synth lines and classic Trance lift.

As the set develops, the reflective phrasing of Translucent Memories and A Better Place brings depth through rich atmospheres. Fisher returns to peak energy with Kronus and the two Leinender tracks, which offer driving rhythm and bright melodic rise. The episode ends with Requiem, a cinematic and resonant closer that completes the smooth evolution from heavy Techno into expressive Trance across two distinct but connected hours.
