To consacrate the success is the constant and fruitful work as a producer. The can- first release on the English vinyl label Multivitamins dates back to August 2006,Between February and March 2007 the ep “1up” on Fankie rec and “Microbiotik remix”, arranged for his friend Joseph Capriati, are put-released.
