Funkabit is the stage name for DJ and producer Simone Coccato (born May 20, 1986).
Born and raised in the North East of Italy, he approaches the magic world of Music already as a child thanks to his older sister, flutist, who involves him during her concerts and teaches him the basic rules of music. She also gets him closer to various and different kinds of music of the early 90s.
In the early years of the New Millennium Funkabit develops a passion for club music, discovering and beginning to listen with great interest to some newly-born bands such as Daft Punk, Cassius and artists like Armand Van Helden and Alan Braxe.
