Brain De Palma is the musical identity flowing between the mental “Brain” approach and the tropical “Palma” attitude of Alexei Versino.

Born in Ukraine, Alexei’s family chose to leave the area following the fallout from theChernobyl nuclear disaster. Settling as a child in Turin, the Italian ‘motor city’, Versinowas immersed in the local techno movement in his teens as well as many scenes since, navigating Europe for decades, immersed in disparate musical corners, from the squatraves of early-noughties Bristol to the laid back charm of the Balearics and the cultural contrasts of Egypt. Much as his life has changed, a heart-on-sleeve love of both music and cinema have informed Versino’s spontaneous journey.

Following a phase of intense creation during the pandemic lockdown, this forced confinement accelerated a transition to a new electronic identity, one rooted in early musical taste and his inner-child memories.  This sonic rebirth manifests as a warm landscape constantly floating through intelligent tech patterns, latin-inspired rhythms, colourful melodies and folk elements. BDP is a compulsive crate digger and his set owesa debt to centuries of music for dancing, inviting listeners on an unpredictable journey of ‘Rhythmption’. Alexei is also the other half of Stump Valley, releases following.
