Puk is an electronic music artist and lover based near Brescia, Italy.
He compensates for the hectic and stressful life of his city with the production of emotional experiments in electronics, downtempo and slow house.
He finds inspiration in a special way in the snowy mountains and in nature trying to reproduce their sounds with synthesizers and drum machines without neglecting the most emotional and melodic part from which it comes.
Fundamental was his frendship with Djs Phil Delcorso and Renton (Trent), with whom he played several times in different clubs promoting alternative electronic parties. With Renton they founded the project called "David Hofmann", mainly focused on neo-trance, electronic and Idm music.
In 2009 release his first single "Jade", this track is a neo-romantic vision of techno, is an 8 minutes voyage through both hypnotic and emotional melodies injected with pathos, and inclined to the dance floor. In following years publishes several EP and Remixes cooperates with Smiley Fingers, Orion records, Aquavit records, Progrezo, till the Italian Mazoom lab.
In 2011 appears for the first time on a vinyl label near John Tejada on consolidated Aquavit Records.
