Originally from Milan, Italy, Federico Maccherone- a record label founder and DJ moved to NY to work for Spike Lee and his advertising agency: Spike DDB. With a background in advertising he quickly found a niche creating campaigns and managing artists in the music industry. He was exposed to the music biz early on when as a teen he encouraged his friend Dodo Martino ( co owner of Digital Lovers) to dj. It wasn't until he discovered the NY techno scene where he finally found a place he could play and hang with like minded individuals with the same love of music. MAC was born there, in the environment where music comes first and love blends in. MAC finally had the chances to express himself through his music with a unique deep and groovy sound giving clear evidence of his love for what he does. Here is a special summer mix for our Ninu Nina audience- http://soundcloud.com/mac-dlr/mac-summertime-mix
