Sergio Scandura (aka dj scan_dura) fa capolino nel 66, ai piedi dell'Etna, nella riviera dei limoni: nato da mamma Lella che lo ha allevato con vinili di jazz al posto del latte... Giornalista per un network nazionale, abbandona spesso e volentieri le vesti di inviato per concedersi davanti ad una consolle come DJ. Dopo aver ri-conosciuto suoni e campioni della "club culture non commerciale", scopre passione e gioco nel proporre e ri-proporre musica via mixer in modo eclettico, con radici vecchie e nuove.
