About HARDCORE FAMILIA

Hardcore Familia born a decade ago, as an answer to the need to amalgamate artistic and musical interests and deviations, a place in which few alternatives are offered for provincial monotony.
Their perseverance and abnegation to (at first) Hip Hop, then evolved into the underground, allowing the survival and growth of the collective. Ranging from its own artistic activities, the collective cover everything from DJing to audio-video production, analogical and digital photography, painting, aerography, digital art, industrial design in different fields, handmade print, audio car and installations; all greatly defined by a bleak and “industrial” taste, with great influences from biomechanical art, dark-art, horror, sci-fi and, of course, from classical art too.
The essence of Hardcore Familia is the incessant countertrend research, through different techniques which join existent elements with new and useful connections. Fresh and functional adequately illustrate the creative act substance: getting over enforced rules ( the new ) to introduce a further and shared norm ( the functional ). The two dimensions of the creative process are identifiable, a process which puts together disorder and order, paradox and method.
In the drumNbass musical field we have protagonists DJ Rugeboy (Cristian Ruggero) and Gnogno (Andrea Paganin) followed by Hero! (Davide Martini) as VJ. We have been present at many parties of national weight, local radio programs and for one year on an American web radio program.
Meanwhile the organization of DnB gatherings goes on around some clubs in Vicenza, including Fabbrika and Smallville, with many collaborations with international DJs and producers.
In the photographic field Castadiva (Federica De Col) and Hero! still expand their own landscapes, portraits and snaps made in the studio, using both film and digital, as well as collaborating for some projects with professional photographer Angie (Angela Loveday).
On the design side Hero! plans and performs graphics for every use, from logos to placards, to a company’s brand image, including settings and personalisations of expositive and advertising areas, helped and inspired in addition by his profession as a graphic designer in the fashion sphere for firms of international level. This has brought him to deepen his own experience in trends-research and development, print techniques, embroidery and woven treatment.
Sten (Stefano Pento) is author and developer for most of our projects, 3D designer and audio-video producer. He boasts collaborations with car firms for prototypes creation, with important interior decorators, singers and corporate companies that rely on him for music videos and TV commercials.
The greatest satisfaction with art comes from its most natural form, which allows for the expression of emotions, feelings and impossible visions with Alx (Alex De Zan). He performs different works on a variety of props, from canvas to installations or sculptures, using every sort of recycled material, painting with brushes or spry.
Hero! prevailingly employs aerograph, acrylics and resins on props like canvas or objects of common use, transforming and giving them a decadent and gloomy look.
Giossa (Matteo Fontana) deals with techniques and building parts of our works, being an expert in many fields such as mechanics, electronics and, above all, audio hi-fi development.
