Hailing from the Belgian 'techno city' of Ghent, Franco Cangelli made his production debut in 2005 and co-founded Aesthetik Records a year later, to create a 'platform for techno with an edge'. In 2008, Cangelli has started a new label: Mowar, dedicated to deeper, Detroit-influenced techno from artists such as himself, Lee Holman, Aubrey, passEnger, and Roberto Bosco.
