       Love Drone is the moniker under which Ettore Castellano approaches electronic music, blending techno, deep house, progressive and downtempo from a tiny island located in southern Italy.
While in his teenage discover of heavy rock, mostly Seattle 90's movement, he also stumbled upon something that changed his musical perception: Daft Punk's Homework back in 1997.

Since then, when not on guitars, he dusts off a microKorg to hitch a ride on electronic tunes.
