Lento Violento, sometimes shortened to simply Lento, is a style of electronic dance music that developed in Italy. Its name means ''Slow & Violent'', as this style typically has a tempo between 70 and 120 BPM. It consists of a hard kick, like the ones present in hardcore or hardstyle, but played at a very slow tempo, with vocal samples and dark and acid sounds or loops. ==Origins== The first tracks with the Lento Violento sound were ''Anima Ladina'' by Ottomix (1991), ''Ibiza'' by Ottomix (1998) and Alex Castelli's ''Enjoy'', that was co-produced by Ottomix. Although at that time, they were not called 'Lento Violento' yet. These tracks were influenced by the more techno and trance-oriented tracks like Mauro Picotto's ''Lizard'', ''Iguana'', ''Pulsar'', ''Tuttincoro'' or ''Raggattak'' by Joman (Joy Kitikonti), all from the Italian BXR label. While some individual tracks were popular in the clubs, the style itself was not established until DJ/producer Gigi D'Agostino started with a series of productions in 2003, like ''Ripassa''. Indeed, he coined the name for this style, and he releases most of his Lento Violento songs on his own label ''Noise Maker'', using aliases like Dottor Dag, Lento Violento Man, Uomo Suono, Orchestra Maldestra, or La Tana Del Suono, to distinguish these songs from his Italo dance work. Other artists started to create similar tracks after the success of this style. Also several compilation CDs are released with Lento Violento music, like the ''"Movimentolento"'' series. In fact Lento Violento is trademark restricted by Gigi D'Agostino to series of his compilation. Any other artist can't use this name. Gigi always says that 'lento violento' is not music style, that's why most producers use names 'slowstyle' or 'hard slowstyle'. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lento Violento」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
