about

Two labels have now decided to get down to business for this great new Marsmobil album: Compost Records and G-Stone, both by mutual agreement in a global label-cooperation just for this project. Why? We believe that together we will be stronger because we both want to do this. "Minx" was produced by Peter Kruder (peace Orchestra, Voom Voom), together with Christian Prommer (Fauna Flash, Trüby Trio, Voom Voom) and Marsmobil mastermind Roberto Di Gioia.

The 2nd Marsmobil album "Minx" has challenging quotes, is both emotional as well as very personal and has the potential to reach a very big audience. The lascivious power of Air, the family feeling of the 70´s band "America", some of "Talk Talks" frailty...this album has all that and much more. Roberto Di Gioia´s maturity as an artist has been developing character and depth all these years. His fundamental musical training, experience, versatility and virtuosity are the ideal embodiment of (actually the rediscovery of) a new type of creativity:
songwriter, musician, frontman, stylist, producer, multi-instrumentalist (piano, sitar, guitar, bass, drums, programming) In short: a Mastermind personified.

Roberto Di Gioia was born in Milan in 1965. He began playing piano at age 4. His favourite music: the Beatles. In 1975 he began his studies at the musicial highschool in Eichstaett and after graduating in 1984 moved to Munich. There he began his career as a prize-winning professional musician.

He became famous as the brilliant keyboarder in Klaus Doldinger´s "Passport" and has performed on almost every album and permanently toured since 1990. He has also worked with numerous American Jazz stars like Art Farmer, Johnny Griffin, Joe Lovano, James Moody, Tom Harrell, Clark Terry, Gary Peacock, Dave Holland and Woody Shaw, as well as German greats like Albert Mangelsdorff, Uwe Ochsenknecht, Udo Lindenberg, Till Brönner, Klaus Weiss and Helge Schneider.

At the end of the 1990´s Di Gioia desired a personal extension of his musical creativity: "Marsmobil" was born and manifested itself for the first time in 1999 as vinyl on Payola Records. One year later the Marsmobil song "Palak Paneer" was chosen by female director Esther Gronenborn for the Soundtrack of her film "alaska.de".

Inspired by the trashy analog sound aesthetics of the 60´s and 70´s, Marmobil merges Retro and Future, Space-Pop and Burt Bacharach-like orchestrations to "the most wonderful and organic music of the new musical millenium". (Sueddeutsche Zeitung)
It´s no surprise that Di Gioia has been involved in some definitive productions in recent years like The Notwist ("Neon Golden") Console (“Reset The Preset”) and Till Broenner (“Blue Eyed Soul").
In June 2003 he was asked by saxophonist Tim Ries to be part of a recording session for the album "Music of the Rolling Stones" with Charlie Watts, Bill Frisell and Darryl Jones. (Album: "The Rolling Stones Project", Concord Records)
