Donato Dozzy is an Italian DJ and producer known for his minimalist and atmospheric approach to music as well as his ambient‑techno project "Voices from the Lake". His music emphasizes analog warmth, spatial depth, and a timeless repetition, often using organic sounds and percussive restraint. His DJ sets are often described as ceremony‑like for their gradual unfolding and meditative immersion over multiple hours. A quiet and reserved presence, he’s beloved for his performances at intimate festivals such as The Labyrinth in Japan and Parallel in Spain, where he continues to guide listeners into movement, reflection, and unity with the moment.

I’ve never considered myself as restricted to one particular genre. I do ambient, techno, house, folk even, whatever comes to my mind. With some projects, I have crossed other genres. I grew up listening to new wave and music with lyrics, so for me, Il Quadro di Troisi represents the sum of all the journeys I’ve experienced together in these many years of music. This is therefore a very important project.
I used to listen to the space-disco music of Giorgio Moroder or Cerrone, and at the same time loved cartoons like most kids. Japanese Cartoons in Italy had soundtracks that were made by amazing musicians coming from important early ’70s Italian prog-rock bands; that meant quality all the way. I was so much into that, all of this music was filled with incredible synth sounds and there were all sorts of things that could hit the imagination of a kid.
Then, Berlin. Once there, I figured out that I was a world citizen. The dancefloor was filled with people coming from all over the world, a color field of energy which helped me to understand which music I wanted to play and at what stage. It was a much needed evolution from my previous life as I started to understand more about myself. Panorama Bar has somehow provided exactly what was missing to that path. I learned for instance that my repetitive beats would fit better to daytime than to night time, and that they should last longer. My sunny side was waiting for me in Berlin. That was a beautiful discovery and I got lucky enough to experience it together with the new friends I made
The Labyrinth Festival is a shared vision, a ritual gathering, quite simply the deepest experience I ever had in my life. You hear sounds and experience the floor in a way never lived before, inside a beautiful forest and surrounded by beautiful people. An episode related to my 2008 set: it was the first and only time in my career I left the stage in the middle of a set and went hugging the people on the floor, dancing with them till the record ended and setting the first encore. What a day that was…
(On his vinyl collection) I never counted them all but I think we should be around 20,000 by now. You can find any sort of genre from the ’50s to contemporary and each of these records has a story to tell.
