Mathame

From the solitude of volcanic Mount Etna to stages around the world, Mathame, the melodic techno duo formed by brothers Matteo and Amedeo Giovanelli, creates music that transports listeners to otherworldly realms. Their emotive, cinematic soundscapes blend sci-fi atmospheres and ethereal energy, offering an immersive experience that lingers like a candle’s glow in a vast cathedral.

Raised in a home filled with music—courtesy of their parents' pirate radio station—the brothers’ early influences were diverse. Matteo, the older sibling, started as a hip-hop DJ before diving into film studies, while Amedeo, a classically trained violinist, turned to electronic music production, drawing inspiration from classical compositions and cinematic scores.

The Mathame project was born in the isolation of Mount Etna, where the brothers moved to help their parents run a bed and breakfast. Surrounded by nature’s raw power, they created the melancholic melodies of their breakout tracks, Skywalking and Nothing Around Us, which quickly caught the attention of Tale of Us and the Afterlife family.

Their distinctive sound spread globally, earning them a place at the forefront of modern melodic techno. Despite their rapid success, the Giovanelli brothers remain selective in their output, focusing on producing music that gives them “goosebumps.” With their eyes set on an album, Mathame continues to push the boundaries of melodic techno with each new release.
