"Una storia di fallimento, di ricerca di riscatto e di musica rumorosa".

"A story of failure, redemption, and loud music".

"Gli anni Ottanta, la Milano da bere (e quella che non ha voluto farsi bere), i negozi di dischi, i cinema, l'università, gli amici, le scelte giuste e quelle sbagliate, molta musica farabutta e una serata indimenticabile".

"The eighties, the 'Milano da bere' era (and those of us who refused to be swallowed by it), record stores, cinemas, college, friends, the good calls and the bad ones, plenty of sketchy music, and one unforgettable night".

Do we need ‘consciousness hygiene’ to defend ourselves from AI and dopamine-driven algorithms?

Ten years ago, on March 5th, after experimenting with some ideas and consulting a couple of friends for a few months, I founded Asbestos Digit. It was a Bandcamp web-label originally meant to house my own music and tracks from my Casale Monferrato crew. I assembled this small circle of about five people, asking them to overlook their usual competitive streaks and leave their comfort zones—moving away from things like melody, consonance, and standard song structures. I knew the whole thing could have failed pretty quickly, but against the odds, it didn't. In fact, some really interesting material started flowing in.

Soon, people from outside our tight-knit group started stumbling upon the label. They’d listen to what we were doing and ask for a spot, which I was always happy to give out. I even picked out artists from other labels myself, building friendships and great collaborations along the way. We even managed to put on some live showcases (though I wish we’d done more) and put out a few physical releases, despite the logistical nightmares.

When you build a network of musicians, you just hope it branches out. And that’s exactly what happened: collabs, constant feedback, and new projects. Through Asbestos Digit, I’ve met people who became dear friends and musicians I’ve always looked up to — people I never imagined would join in on our projects. Just to name a few: Paolo S. Bandera, Maurizio Bianchi, Giovanni Mori, and Marco Milanesio.
Asbestos Digit has grown a lot — maybe too much. I wanted to give it the time it deserves, but for the last couple of years, I just haven't been able to keep up. Between family commitments, a market drowning in new releases, and promotional spaces becoming harder to break into, I’m feeling a bit burnt out. Plus, there are new ideas cropping up: Asbestos Digit Podcasting, a project where I’d love to have you all on board again, just with a different pace and vibe.

The label will stay on Bandcamp and will only be updated if I decide to clear out the leftover tracks sitting on my Mac. Everything on Asbestos Digit is and will remain free, with very few exceptions. It was never about making money; it was about playing and releasing music regardless of media hype, fueled only by a creative urge. Call me an old-school punk, but that’s how I’ve always seen music.

Saying I did this all by myself wouldn't be fair to the people who stuck by me, offering advice and technical tips with a lot of patience. A huge thanks to Fabio Fazzi, Lorenzo Ferraris, Daniele Veronese, and Antoine Iannone — but hey, you’re all included.

Ultimately, this is what Asbestos Digit was for: meeting new people, talking shop, and dreaming up the possible, the improbable, and the downright impossible (a field where I’m an undisputed master). It was a way to keep you close, my beloved friends, no matter how many miles are between us.

Asbestos Digit: march 5th, 2026 - march 5th, 2026.

Thanks, everyone.

Ci avviciniamo all'epilogo di Asbestos Digit con un EP di Fabio Fazzi, architrave dell'etichetta.
Non ci poteva essere un finale di stagione migliore. Da anni Fabio non è più imbrigliabile in alcuna definizione.
Elettronica ipnagogica, musica industriale, electro-, middle eastern, una sorta di incrocio tra Chris and Cosey, Lopatin, big beat. Buttateci dentro tutto, e sarete ancora molto distanti dalla verità. Con Asbestos Digit arrivederci alla pubblicazione finale, il 5 marzo 2026.

Like hulls surrendered to the tides, we think we're standing still, while time reshapes us with its fine rust. It's not a collapse, it's a slow evolution; a patina that rewrites the contours of our existence.

Oxyde was born here: between the nostalgia of what we were and the inevitable beauty of what we are becoming. The sound of an epochal change, silent and unstoppable.

The brutal world of police and detectives, crime scenes and crime reporters has been a topic of much literature, film, and music. Among the musical episodes we love to remember here at Asbestos City are John Zorn's Spillane and Naked City, the compilation "Deep Inside a Cop's Mind" by S.W.A.T., and Morricone's "Indagini...".
