Biografie
·Music has no limits. Few artists embody this mantra as completely as Fernando Costantini, a Belgian-born DJ and producer of Italian heritage whose dedication to electronic music has led him on an unending journey through sound. With a restless spirit and an ear tuned to subtlety, Fernando is one of those rare selectors whose sets feel like explorations—each moment deeply personal, each track chosen not only for rhythm, but for emotional resonance.
Fernando's earliest encounters with music were at home, where his older brother exposed him to the bubbling electronic undercurrents of the early 1990s. These sounds captivated him, planting a seed that wouldn't truly bloom until years later. Initially, Fernando didn't set out to become a professional artist. In fact, for a long time, he didn't imagine music as a career at all. But somewhere between countless late nights dancing in warehouses across Europe and absorbing the pulse of Berlin, Barcelona, and beyond, something shifted. One night, one set, one connection—sometimes that's all it takes. For Fernando, that moment came when he discovered the hypnotic, groove-laden minimalism of DJs like tINI, whose meticulous sense of atmosphere and narrative left a lasting impression. It was the kind of musical moment that reroutes a person's life.
It wasn't long before Fernando moved from the dancefloor to the decks. As his understanding deepened, so did his desire to tell his own story through music. He began DJing in earnest, developing a style characterized by mechanical textures, industrial overtones, and rolling, off-kilter basslines. A brief foray into the hip-hop world lent his productions a rhythmic edge and an intuitive grasp of groove that continues to color his sets. Still, it was the human connection—the subtle dance between selector and crowd—that truly pulled him in. Traveling through clubs and festivals, from intimate afterhours to peak-time main stages, Fernando absorbed not just sounds, but people, cultures, feelings. These experiences shaped both his musical palette and his approach to performance: intuitive, responsive, and deeply personal.
But Fernando's ambition didn't stop at the booth. Naturally, as his artistry evolved, so did his interest in production. He began crafting tracks not only to reflect his taste, but to contribute his voice to the wider conversation. His early works found a home on Brouqade Records, the Berlin-based label run by Dana Ruh and Anthea. The connection with Brouqade would prove pivotal—not only did it give Fernando a platform, but it also embedded him in a like-minded community of artists. His remix of "Polite Symphony" turned heads, earning support from major names in the underground scene, and marking him as a producer with both sonic finesse and emotional depth. His contributions to the label, both in the studio and behind the decks, have solidified his role as a key member of the Brouqade crew.
Still, Fernando's approach to music remains collaborative and humble. He draws immense inspiration from the people around him—friends, fellow producers, dancers lost in the moment. He's especially passionate about local scenes and the kind of overlooked gems that arise from tight-knit creative circles. For him, music isn't about ego or status; it's about sharing. Whether it's trading unreleased tracks with friends or digging into dusty vinyl bins for forgotten treasures, Fernando's love for sound is rooted in community and connection.
Stylistically, Fernando leans toward minimal and microhouse aesthetics, where space, tension, and groove are paramount. But he's not confined by genre. His sets—whether in Berlin's underground labyrinths or open-air festivals in Eastern Europe—are fluid, intuitive journeys. He's as likely to build a set slowly and methodically, teasing out tension with surgical precision, as he is to dive into deeper, darker territories that speak more to introspection than euphoria. What unites it all is his unshakable sense of control and intention. Every track has a purpose. Every transition tells a story.
Even with a growing reputation, Fernando remains a student of the craft. Every new tune he discovers opens another rabbit hole—another label, another sound, another artist to learn from. His addiction to exploration shows no signs of fading. On the contrary, it's what fuels his creativity. Whether he's playing a sunrise set in the mountains or a sweaty 3AM slot in a basement, he's always chasing that feeling: the moment when everything aligns—the crowd, the kick, the vibe—and the music becomes something more than sound.
Today, Fernando Costantini is recognized not only for his skills as a DJ and producer, but for his ability to read a room and sculpt its energy in real time. He's played at some of Europe's most respected venues and festivals, sharing stages with leading lights of the underground while carving out his own distinct identity. But he's not interested in being the loudest or the flashiest. His path is quieter, more considered—built on subtle shifts, long blends, and a deep trust in the power of rhythm.
In his own words, music continues to push him forward, deeper into his obsession, further into the mystery. He doesn't just play music—he listens to it with the curiosity of someone hearing it for the first time. That humility, paired with undeniable talent, makes Fernando Costantini one of the most intriguing voices in the European underground.
As long as he stays obedient to the beat—the eternal mistress that first captured his heart—we can be sure that Fernando will keep exploring, keep evolving, and keep sharing. Because for him, as for those who truly live for the dancefloor, music really has no limits.
