The facts, the stubbornness and the results: here is what has marked the career of Federico Scavo (born in Fucecchio on February 23rd, 1974) until today, a disc-jockey since 1991 and a record producer since 1994. Scavo has performed in the most exclusive clubs on earth: his music has resounded two steps away from the desert, at the "Pacha" in Sharm El Sheikh, in the middle of Egypt, shifting the attention towards the well-known trademark which is establishing itself in new countries as well. Then Scavo flew to Switzerland, to Zurich exactly, at the "Oxa", to warm the hearts of Swiss people often surrendered to the trance of the early 'house' music. From beyond the Alps the return home and the participation in one of the most popular "onenights" in the world: the "Supalova" of Joe T. Vannelli: his set in Milan is perfect, as usual. It is a nonstop journey, in and out of Italian borders; from the "Lipa" in Lubijana, Slovenia, to the "Tenax" and the "Yab" in Florence, just to remain in his Tuscany; and again, in Versilia, at the "Seven Apples", at the "Faruk" and the "Capannina di Franceschi", or at the "Tartana" in Grosseto, without mentioning a number of clubs where he was the protagonist. What about his musical style?" House music, a little funky, also influenced by the latest innovative 'electro'; the appeal of the Seventies mix with flashes of tribal music; a sound contamination flavoured with special effects: a peculiarity as he likes saying". Anyway there is a parallel activity in Scavo's life: record production. In Canada he had already been awarded with four platinum records for selling over 400 thousand copies of the song "This Is The Night" by the New System. And in 1998 there is a good start with labels like Subway, Energy and Dwa. However it is in 1999 that he starts a mark which will establish itself more and more, mainly like a guarantee seal; it is the "Hot Coffee Productions".
In 2001 he meets the above mentioned Vannelli but it is not the only encounter: the net gets wider including Warren Clarke of the British "Defected" and the Spanish Chus and Ceballos. 2002 is not the turning point but the year of full recognition: Scavo achieves the record project "Hot Coffe Presents Pink Coffee" and the cover of the famous hit "Another brick in the wall" by the Pink Floyd. Before appearing in record shops the song is golden record in Italy thanks to 25 thousand copies sold. "Exceptionally, Roger Waters, the leader of Pink Floyd, after listening to my remix, gave us the consent to publish it officially", Scavo says. The value added to this project is the video fully made in Berlin and broadcast all over the world by Mtv and other music Tv channels. A real icing on the cake, from a promotional point of view. The following year the "Hot Coffee Production" adds to it: it creates songs like "Disco Night" by Plateau Royal and "Turn Around And Dance" sung by Sabrinaah Pope.
Then the fabulous voice gives space to the percussions of a master og the kind like Silvano Del Gado, who produces "Coffee Beats Vol.1", "Coffee Beats Vol.2" and the very tribal "Coffee Beats Vol.3" with Scavo, all of these songs being at the top of world hit parades, and giving licences in the United Kingdom. The "Defected" and the "Subliminal" take an interest in our Tuscan Dj: Erik Morillo, Harry "Choo Choo" Romero, Roger Sanchez and several other famous colleagues start to keep an eye on him. At the same time, other remixes signed by "Hot Coffee" contribute to enrich it with new songs. like "I Believe" by Jocelyn Brown, Del Gado's first important album and "Can We Live" by Jestofunk featuring Ce Ce Rogers. "PDO" reconstructions: protected designation of origin. And Scavo is behind each of them.
Late in the summer of the same year 2004, among many Dj sets, the "Hot Coffee Productions" breaks up: Scavo looks after the publication of his first remix as a soloist: the one of "I'm Coming Up" for Made and Sax featuring Michelle Weeks. This time it is signed by Federico Scavo for the newborn "S Productions". The fantastic voice of the American singer, a myth of 'house' music, is made more powerful by the Tuscan Dj. The version "Federico Scavo Genuine Mix" is played by Sandy Rivera at the Winter Music Conference 2005 in Miami before Pete Tong, world live on Bbc Radio 1. In June 2005, Roger Sanchez includes it in his top ten. We get to Spellband Vs Federico Scavo and to "Through The Fire", to Scavo working for a third party "Made in" and "El Caravanero" for Stargarda Records. In the same summer, at the "Tartana" he shares the console with David Morales and Martin Solveig and at the "Frau" he plays with Silicone Soul. At the same time Radio 105 Network invites him as a guest to the program In Da Klubb several times: 60 minutes of pure house music made in "S Productions", broadcast all over Italy and on line worldwide. In September Scavo solemnly launches two labels: the Coffee Killer Records and the Shibusa Records, the first is mood and more crossoverand classics, the second is more electronic and addressed to clubs. Since October 2005 he has protected his own rights with his new musical editions: the Scavo World Music Publishing. Instead, to keep fit, he is still performing in Switzerland, Sardinia and Tuscany: here our Dj plays, cheers people up and experiences sounds which will leave an indelible mark in the record industry.
In summer '06 he plays as a guest in taiwan (luxy club), into tartana club (follonica, italy) and works for his label coffee killer records, he produces steve love & federico scavo "u", mo.ca feat. michelle weeks "nobody", big succes record, played also by tony humphries dj. the other label has also big succes publishing scavo e guerrieri vs. barracu feat. sadia "karma comes back" and federico scavo "respect", a progect played by dj Roger Sanchez
