The brothers had a dramatic geographic upbringing at the base of the isolated Mt Etna volcano in Sicily and were originally a classical violinist at a conservatory and an award-winning film director before forming Mathame. Consequently, the duo have pioneered the ‘cinematic techno’ genre, crafting atmospheric storytelling experiences on the dance floor through their live immersive Audio Visual (AV) show and grandeur tracks, largely influenced by science fiction movies and classical film scores from the likes of Ennio Morricone and John Williams.
