We already told you about Federico Gardenghi, the youngest techno DJ in the world. The little fella who recently became the youngest DJ that ever played a DJ Mag Live stream just achieved another big one. The 14-year-old techno talent has signed a management contract with Knockout Artists & Coda (they also watch artists like Disclosure, Don Diablo or Julio Bashmore). 

The Italian boy spoke briefly to DJ Mag about the deal: “I am so stoked I started collaborating with Sol Parker at Coda and Mario Camilleri at Knockout,” he told us, “we’re gonna do super awesome things together and I can’t wait to start!”

With several performances, the young talent has been attracting attention in the dance electro scene for several years. Carl Cox even invited him to a set on Ibiza and Maceo Plex also got the impression of his techno sets.

In the football world, thousands of young talents are bought and trained by international top clubs. The same phenomenon now seems to have taken place in the dance world. Now Federico has taken a new step towards a serious DJ career and his talent is undeniable.
