Alignment

About

Alignment: Forging Industrial Techno From the Ashes of Melancholy Alignment, the alias of Italian DJ and producer Francesco Pierfelici, isn’t just playing techno; he’s sculpting sonic landscapes from the raw materials of industrial grit and introspective emotion. His sets and productions aren't about fleeting euphoria, but rather a deeply immersive experience, driven by relentless energy and a distinctive sound that pushes the boundaries of the genre. Influenced by the harder edges of EBM, hardcore, and classic trance, Alignment's sound is characterized by its hammering kick drums, distorted synths, and hypnotic rhythms, creating an atmosphere that is both exhilarating and subtly unsettling. Pierfelici’s trajectory has been a steady ascent, marked by key releases on prominent labels like Voxnox, Possession, and his own Alignment Records. His breakout moments can be traced back to his consistent presence in the Berlin techno scene and his ability to consistently deliver high-octane sets that leave crowds breathless. Alignment’s impact lies in his refusal to compromise on his artistic vision. He doesn't chase trends; he defines them. Collaborations with artists like Kobosil showcase his commitment to the harder, more experimental side of techno. Currently, Alignment continues to tour extensively, pushing his sound further and solidifying his position as a force to be reckoned with in the global techno community. Recent EP releases continue to showcase his evolving sound design and relentless commitment to pushing the boundaries of industrial techno.
