Claudio Rocchetti

Member of: 3/4HadBeenEliminated

Claudio Rocchetti, born in Bolzano in 1976, came out of the straight-edge hardcore scene and went on to explore the many realms of noise. He played his self-described destructive DJ sets within Sonic Belligeranza, the group, label and collective that shook up the Italian underground at the turn of the 2000s, and was a member of 3/4HadBeenEliminated with Stefano Pilia and Valerio Tricoli.
