Savaggio [Journey Series]

MAGICIAN ON DUTY JOURNEY SERIES: SAVAGGIO — LIVE AT CHATEAU PERCHÉ The latest Magician On Duty Journey Series comes from Roberto Savaggio, recorded live at Chateau Perché Festival in France on July 4th, 2026. Berlin has long been Savaggio’s base, but nomadism is perhaps a better description of his musical geography. His sets move between live strings, electronic rhythm and improvisation, with the violin functioning less as an ornament than as another voice within the groove. He calls the approach “deepstring”. Savaggio’s history with Magician On Duty dates back to 2021, when he joined Canadian producer Kostiya for Ellipsis, a collaborative EP built around dubby textures, fragmented strings and melodic house. The release also featured remixes from Wareika and Ki Ya Tori, marking an early meeting point between Savaggio’s live instrumentation and the label’s psychedelic, organic side. Since then, his sound has travelled considerably further. He has appeared at Berlin institutions including Kater Blau, Ritter Butzke and Sisyphos, as well as Chateau Perché, House of Yes in New York, Meadows in the Mountains and a number of less conventional settings. His productions and collaborations have surfaced on labels including Traum Schallplatten, Suprematic, Submarine Vibes, Natura Viva and Magician On Duty. In 2025, he also launched [nomnomnom] with Dark Arps. This recording captures Savaggio in a setting that suits his approach: a festival built around discovery, where the boundaries between performance and dancefloor tend to become less fixed. Rather than treating the violin as a separate element, he folds it into the electronic framework, allowing phrases to emerge, disappear and return as the set develops. Recorded in France on a summer night, this is a document of that exchange between player, machine and crowd. The Journey continues.
