Bartolomeo

From classical music prodigy to a global electronic music figure, BARTOLOMEO has spent a lifetime shaping soundscapes that transcend boundaries. His journey began with 15 years of classical piano training, but even at the age of 9, he was already absorbing Italo disco and Afro-inspired beats.
Growing up in Riccione during its golden years, he soaked in rare wisdom from legendary maestros like Ricky Montanari, Cirillo, and Flavio Vecchi—an education that would define his signature sound.
By 15, he was already behind the decks, mastering the art of the warm-up and earning his stripes in the underground circuit. His breakout moment arrived in 2010 when, at just 20, he secured a residency at Cocoricò Riccione—a six-year tenure that catapulted him onto international stages.

His production debut came in 2012 on Hot Creations, followed by founding BAR Musica, a label dedicated to pushing the boundaries of electronic music through exclusive vinyl releases. Over the years, the imprint has featured music from visionaries like Arno (Einzelkind), Bruno Pronsato, Thomas Melchior, Tommy Vicari, Shaun Reeves, Fred P, and Ricky Montanari, alongside rising talents like Jesse Marcell and Carebears. Now celebrating a decade of BAR Musica, he’s curating a special series of releases to mark the milestone.
Not one to be confined by a single project, he also runs BootyBart, a vinyl-only imprint showcasing his personal bootlegs—highly sought-after reworks championed by icons like Ricardo Villalobos, Luciano, Jonny Rock, Petre Inspirescu, and Ryan Elliott.
A relentless digger and sonic explorer, his sets weave through house, techno, and beyond, always keeping a deep, trippy undertone. He constructs musical journeys that rise from the underground and ascend into euphoric heights.
His name has echoed through the halls of the world’s most revered clubs and festivals, including Space Ibiza (2016 closing year), Circoloco Ibiza, Watergate Berlin, Space Miami, Fabric London, Tenax Florence, Club Der Visionaire Berlin, Hï Ibiza, Silencio Paris, Day Zero Tulum, Get Lost Miami & Buenos Aires, Voodoo Village Festival Belgium, Funk Club Mexico City, The Lion & Lamb London, and more.
With an ever-evolving sound and a passion that burns brighter than ever, BARTOLOMEO continues to redefine electronic music—one record, one dancefloor, and one unforgettable set at a time.
