6) Producer & DJ from Turin, Italy. Releases primarily through the label "Ilian Tape".
Born and raised in Turin, passionated by music and art, since his childhood Andrea started to buy vinyl records approaching music across all different genres (from new wave and post-punk to reggae and dub music).
His work is the result of years of musical identity research, of different experiments and continuous attention to techno evolution in the last decades.
In his productions Andrea tries to mix sundry elements related to 90s Breakbeat and IDM with excursion to warehouse techno and house. Turin city has a key role in his sound; its dark and post-industrial soul clearly emerges in every track. Emotive melodies and abstract sounds, heavy kicks and low-end drum, atmo-pads and chord progressions are the significant elements of his music.
Behind the decks and also in his live set, he creates an intense atmosphere with a mixture of effective dancefloor bangers and stepping rhythms.

Baby I Love You
Andrea Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like sorry like sorry
Forgive me
Is all that you can't say
Words don't come easily
Like forgive me forgive me
But you can say baby
Baby can I hold you tonight
Maybe if I told you the right words
At the right time you'd be mine
I love you
Is all that you can't say
Years gone by and still
Words don't come easily
Like I love you I love you
Andrea Martin's song "Baby Can I Hold You" is about communication breakdown in a relationship. The singer of the song is asking her partner to communicate with her more openly and honestly. The first two verses of the song reveal that the singer's partner finds it hard to apologize and ask for forgiveness. The lines, "Sorry is all that you can't say / Years gone by and still / Words don't come easily / Like sorry like sorry" highlight the partner's reluctance to show vulnerability and accept responsibility for their mistakes.
The chorus of the song shifts the focus to the singer's desire for physical and emotional closeness with her partner. She asks, "Can I hold you tonight?" and expresses the hope that if she says the right words at the right time, her partner will reciprocate her feelings. The final verse of the song further illustrates the singer's frustration with her partner's inability to express his emotions. She longs to hear him say "I love you" but all he can manage is "Like I love you I love you."
Overall, "Baby Can I Hold You" is a poignant ballad about the importance of communication and intimacy in a relationship.
