Akrom

Akrom (born Marco Reggianini) is an Italian drum and bass producer and DJ based in Modena, Italy. He began producing and DJing in the 2000s under the alias Moon and released his first record in 2009 on Maztek’s Subculture Records. He adopted the Akrom name in 2010 and has released music on labels including BNC Express and Moonshine DnB. His recorded output spans neurofunk and drum & bass styles.

Background: Marco started working under the Moon alias in the 2000s, moving from that name to Akrom in 2010. The single concrete early career milestone is his 2009 release on Maztek’s Subculture Records; after that he issued material under Akrom on labels such as BNC Express and Moonshine DnB. Public documentation of specific gigs, radio shows or long-term residencies is limited, but his profile is anchored by those label releases and by the switch from Moon to Akrom in 2010.

Musical style: Akrom’s recorded work sits between neurofunk’s technical, sculpted basslines and cleaner drum & bass/ liquid-leaning production values. In those releases you can hear focused bass design — layered synthesized low-ends with distortion and modulation to carve movement — paired with tight, quantised drum programming and processed break hits for punch and clarity. His tracks lean on detailed automation (filter sweeps, LFO modulation on synths and bass) and measured use of atmospheric pads and reverb to separate low-end from the mid/high elements. The result reads as neurofunk-influenced production with attention to mix translation and polished transient shaping rather than looser, sample-led jungle approaches.

Career and contributions: Factual milestones are his first record in 2009 on Subculture Records (Maztek’s imprint), the name change to Akrom in 2010, and subsequent releases on BNC Express and Moonshine DnB. Those label credits document his role primarily as a producer who operates within the neurofunk/dnb spectrum. He also began DJing in the 2000s under Moon and carries that experience into his profile as a performing artist, though public records of specific DJ sets or club residencies are scarce.

Specific influences and connections: The clearest documented connection is the 2009 release on Maztek’s Subculture Records, which places an early release alongside a label associated with Maztek. Beyond that, detailed public statements about influences or named collaborators are not widely available. Public biographical information on Akrom is limited to the facts above: Moon alias in the 2000s, first record in 2009 on Subculture Records, adoption of the Akrom name in 2010, and releases on BNC Express and Moonshine DnB.
