Joseph Capriati – Saudade [Saved]

Few artists have shaped the global techno landscape with the consistency, conviction and musical depth of Joseph Capriati. From his roots in Caserta, Italy, to commanding some of the world’s most celebrated dancefloors, Capriati has spent close to two decades refining a sound that moves effortlessly between uncompromising techno, infectious house and deeper, more emotive territory. Now, the internationally acclaimed DJ and producer opens a new chapter, making his debut on Nic Fanciulli’s influential Saved Records with ‘Saudade’, arriving on 30th October.

A name synonymous with marathon sets, meticulous selection and an instinctive understanding of dancefloor energy, Capriati has built an enduring legacy through landmark releases on Drumcode, CLR and his own Metamorfosi. His evolution has never been about standing still; instead, it is rooted in a constant search for new musical perspectives, balancing the raw intensity of his techno foundations with an increasingly expansive approach to house and electronic music.

‘Saudade’ brings this experience to Saved Records for the first time, marking a meeting between one of electronic music’s most respected selectors and a label with a longstanding commitment to forward-thinking club sounds. Named after the Portuguese word for a profound sense of longing or nostalgia, the release carries a title rich with emotion, hinting at the connection between memory, feeling and the moments that make the dancefloor so powerful.

For Capriati, the release represents another step in an ever-evolving musical journey, while for Saved Records, it welcomes an artist whose influence stretches across generations of club culture. With a career built on pushing boundaries while remaining deeply connected to the floor, his arrival feels like a natural fit for the label’s distinctive musical identity.
