Hi, my name is Mattia, I’m originally from the north of Italy, 2 years ago I moved to Austria for my studies and I’m producing progressive/melodic techno music since the end of 2019 under my alias called “Samugo”.

I started with the production of music something like 10 years ago, when a friend of mine introduced me to Fruity loops (now FL studio). Of course, the first steps handling the software were hard, but I kept on practicing and in the early 2020’s I got my first music contract. Producing was some sort of an On and Off relationship for me and I tried to produce different styles of music, but I never had the feeling that I like what I was doing, but luckily things changed for the better.

When I started to make music again after a 2 years brake, where I also found out what I liked, Progressive House / Melodic Techno. I initially created Samugo to show one of my friends a new track that I made without telling him that it was me so I could get a real feedback and not some stupid: “It’s good!”. The idea of calling me Samugo came spontaneous.

I can remember that it was a Saturday and me and my roommates ate spaghetti with sugo for lunch. So, I combined Saturday (Samstag in German) and sugo => Samugo. Later I googled the word and I found out that it was Spanish for “a stubborn person, not very talkative”, and I really liked it, because that’s how I am sometimes (or maybe often according to some friends).
