Protopapa
Protopapa is a DJ, producer, and vocalist rooted in Salento and shaped by Bologna’s hedonistic art scene. Drawn to Milan, he became a key figure in its nightlife, from Rollover’s funky parties to residencies at Le Cannibale, q|Lab, and the queer underground hub Club Q21. He’s designed sound for top fashion houses—Dior, Versace, Armani—and DJed at Milan, Paris and NYFashion Week. A genre-blending “sonic sponge,” he’s opened for Nicolas Jaar, Miss Kittin, and Horse Meat Disco. His track “Ça va? Je T’aime!” became Italy’s 2022 summer anthem, followed by “Caramella Caramella” and a 40-date European tour in 2023. He’s currently releasing a single a month starting with “Versatchy (It’s Versace!)” and “Pazzo Italiano” in early 2025. His debut album drops in fall 2025. He’s remixed Italian legends like Raffaella Carrà and Loredana Berté, and co-founded FLUIDOSTUDIO and DRAMA Milano, launching queer talents since 2020. From underground clubs to global stages, Protopapa keeps championing Italo disco with fresh, playful energy.
