DJ Balli is the performing name of the Italian based breakcore artist Riccardo Balli. With a past as a drummer in the straight edge hardcore band "Isotopi del Dolore" and as a noise musician in the "S.E.B." plunderphonics collective, at the beginning of the '90s Dj Balli lost interest for music to concentrate on writing. More solid result of this shift, the book in Italian language "Anche Tu Astronauta" (1998) about the Association of Autonomous Astronauts. Few years later in the 2000, the reconciliation with music came via the A.A.A. itself with the release of three tracks on the "Rave In Space" compilation cd. The year 2000 was also when he started his own label Sonic Belligeranza and began DJing more regularly. Bored with the average DJs, standing and playing one record after the other, Balli got involved into the more "adventurous" turntablism, melting his crab, flare and chirp scratch with digital glitch from the lap-top.
