DESTROY DUBAI

BIOGRAPHY

Destroy Dubai is the pseudonym of Alessio Capra (Mantova, 13 january 1979), italian musician and composer, active since the second half of the 90s in numerous alternative, punk and hardcore underground bands. In 2001, he forms the power trio Super Elastic Bubble Plastic with Gionata Mirai (Teatro degli Orrori) releasing three albums and two EPs, and touring across Europe for over a decade. In 2008, he joins Pazi Mine with Sara Ardizzoni, releasing an album in 2010 and performing until 2012. From 2011 to 2014, he also works with the Shiroppo Film Studio collective, producing music videos and visuals for major national and international DJs.
In 2014 he experiences a rejection towards music and the music industry. This leads him to a long period of crisis, inactivity and silence that lasts until 2017. The public worshops of the Stimmung project developed by the artist Stefano Arienti make him discover a new musical perspective, casting him far from his origins towards new musical languages. This research brings him back to activity towards the end of 2019, with the realization of his latest musical project, Destroy Dubai.
The resulting album ([+][-][ ][+-], 2025 – Tenrec/SuperFake) is the processing of rarified compositional elements that pass through a stratification of field recording, sampling e looping. This exploration, together with other techniques, allows him to discover a renewed expressive will.
