About IRON MAYHEM:
Five years ago, a single thought changed everything for Samy Jackson—half of the acclaimed DJ duo “Animal Trainer.” That night, the track “Shells” was born, marking a shift from dance floor beats to introspective, home-listening music under the Iron Mayhem brand.. Melancholic, spacious, and reflective, this new sound invites emotion, standing in stark contrast to his past work.

About ALESSANDRO GIANNELLI:
Alessandro Giannelli, known for his work with Kejnu, Leech, and Egopusher, as well as collaborations with Dieter Meier and Wolfman, has spent years touring internationally with Egopusher. Since 2018, he has shifted focus from being a sideman to pursuing his own musical vision. Notable achievements include his remix of Diskret’s track Limba, named one of Radio SRF’s top ten electronic songs of 2021. Now, Giannelli is dedicated to refining his unique sound as a producer.
