markyno

Markyno is the alias of Italian DJ and producer Valentino Montanelli, who operates from Firenze after originating from Fucecchio. Born in 1974, Montanelli launched the markyno project in 2022 with his debut release appearing in August of that year. Since then, he has released five tracks across multiple labels including Voltaire Music, RIM, Baikonur Recordings, and Happy Techno Music.

His sound centers on tech house and minimal/deep tech, delivering tracks that blend driving rhythms with stripped-back arrangements. Markyno's productions typically operate in the 120-128 BPM range, focusing on groove-heavy basslines and subtle melodic elements that work effectively in peak-time sets. His releases on labels like Voltaire Music and Baikonur Recordings demonstrate his ability to craft both dancefloor-focused tech house and more introspective minimal compositions, with his sound maintaining consistent quality across the four-label roster he has built since 2022.
