Discover the World of Draxx: Tech House’s Italian Maverick
Step into the captivating musical universe of Draxx, the Italian maverick who’s turning the tech house scene upside down with his irresistible beats and magnetic persona.
Hailing from the land of good food (no, I’m not biased), Draxx isn’t just serving up delicious tunes; he’s concocting masterpieces that have dancefloors bouncing from Milan to Miami. Known for his songs that hit harder than a Vespa in rush hour, Draxx has caught the attention of industry heavyweights like Cloonee, Hugel, and John Summit, earning him a spot among the genre’s elite.
But it’s not just the big names who are singing Draxx’s praises; his tracks have been snapped up by some of the coolest labels in the game, from Insomniac to Moon Harbour. And with bangers like “WTF” and “Ponteme” climbing the charts faster than you can say “ciao bella”, it’s clear that Draxx is on a mission to make waves in the world of electronic music.
In 2023, Draxx’s star reached new heights when he was crowned one of ‘The Future of Dance’ producers by 1001Tracklists, cementing his status as a trendsetter in the scene. And with his remix of Kevin McKay’s “Work” sending shockwaves through the EDM community, it’s safe to say that Draxx is just getting started.
With a sound that’s as spicy as a plate of arrabbiata and a vibe that’s as cool as a summer night in Capri, Draxx is the Italian stallion of the tech house scene, and he’s ready to take you on a wild ride.

While more of a behind-the-scenes player DJ Design’s (aka Keith Griego) work has had a sizable imprint on the history of modern hip-hop. As a DJ/Beatmaker and visual artist he has contributed production and art since the late 90’s for notables including The Beastie Boys, Madlib, A.G., Foreign Legion, Rasco, Peanut Butter Wolf and Phat Kat.
As a visual artist, his high point of work with the label was his design of the 12” vinyl cover for Lootpack member Madlib’s side project Quasimoto. The cover for “Microphone Mathematics” featured Design/Griego’s visual representation of Lord Quas as a sort of alien aardvark, which was adopted by the artist and has since become one of the most iconic and enduring
characters in the game today.
