Meet Once Again is a producer duo born in Barcelona in 2018 and formed by Massimo Minniti and Giuseppe Bandiera, both originally from Italy. With his background in acid and hard techno, Minniti brings to the project his ability to produce powerful and energetic rhythms and basslines. On his part, Bandiera, passionate about ambient and post-rock, completes the formula by creating those beautiful, exciting and wide soundscapes. A cinematic techno proposal that reminds us that dance music is not incompatible with intimacy and that deep listening can perfectly give rise to movement, celebration or euphoria.
Their first release, ‘Gateway To The Continent’ (Làdeli Editions, 2021), is a journey through different stages of self-exploration, a narrative without words, a gateway to a new and ever changing universe. The EP starts with a delicate tranquility, evolving towards a roadmovie-like steady cadence and continues, little by little, gently ascending and layering increasingly dynamic and energetic melodies and rhythms. The duo offers here their poetic vision of the personal search for the meaning of life, being a work in which emotion, courage and hope abound. Both components of the band indulge themselves in this alchemy of contemporary classical music, ambient, post-rock, idm and techno.

Meet Once Again es un dúo de productores que nace en Barcelona en 2018 y está formado por los italianos Massimo Minniti y Giuseppe Bandiera. Con su background en el acid y hard techno, Massimo aporta al proyecto su habilidad para producir ritmos y líneas de bajo potentes y energéticas. Por su parte, Giuseppe, un apasionado del ambient y el post-rock, completa la fórmula creando esos paisajes sonoros bellos, emocionantes y amplios. Una propuesta de techno cinemático que nos recuerda que el baile no está reñido con la intimidad y que la escucha profunda puede perfectamente dar pie al movimiento, la celebración o la euforia.
Su primer lanzamiento, ‘Gateway To The Continent’ (Làdeli Editions, 2021), es un viaje a través de diferentes etapas de autoexploración, una narración sin palabras, una puerta de entrada hacia un universo nuevo y cambiante. El EP se abre con delicada tranquilidad, evolucionando hacia una cadencia propia de road movie y continúa, poco a poco, ascendiendo suavemente y superponiendo capas de melodías y ritmos cada vez más dinámicos y energéticos. El dúo ofrece aquí su visión poética de la búsqueda personal del sentido de la vida, siendo un trabajo en el que abunda la emoción, la valentía y la esperanza. Ambos componentes de la banda se entregan a esta alquimia de música clásica contemporánea, ambient, post-rock, idm y techno.
