2. Italian keyboardist/producer Enzo Pannozzo.
Worked with several artists as well as his own material throughout the late '80s and early '90s, taking part in many different musical projects. Taking a stronger role as a producer in the mid-'90s, his work with Futility and Trans Love Express led to his next project, 2002's D-Genre. Utilizing drum'n'bass, ambient techno, and jazz house to fuel his ambitions, he also drafted French vocalist Lillia Auzou and Australian funk diva Kylie Auldist, among others, to accent the recordings. Released in the summer of 2002, the debut album was titled Leisure Play. ~ Bradley Torreano, All Music Guide
