His sound, a meticulously crafted blend of driving rhythms and hypnotic melodies, draws heavily from the Detroit techno lineage, yet filters it through a distinctly Italian lens. A prodigy from Livorno, Alicante burst onto the scene at a remarkably young age, securing a residency at Cocoon Ibiza before many of his peers even secured their driver's licenses. His breakthrough track, "Vacaciones en Chile," remains an anthem, a testament to his ability to craft infectious, dancefloor-shaking grooves. Beyond the chart-topping tracks, Alicante's impact lies in his consistent evolution, pushing the boundaries of minimal techno while remaining firmly rooted in its foundational energy.

Continuing to tour relentlessly and produce cutting-edge tracks, Alicante’s recent focus has been on exploring deeper, more introspective soundscapes while retaining the relentless energy that defined his initial ascent. He stands as a testament to the power of youthful passion and dedicated craftsmanship in the ever-evolving world of electronic music.
