Common Series is a vinyl series that offers a skyline of the electronic musical village contaminated by the meetings with musicians and working parties during which the dividing line between natural and artificial is constantly reinvented and converted into a Dantesque travel, looking for the fantastic within the real. Releases, musical productions and sound engineering are menaged to Marco Erroi.
Common Series Ltd was established in 2013 in Rome, near the Vatican Walls, by GoldFinger (Marco Erroi) and Richard Edogawa (Alfredo Laurino).

In 2017, he released 'Common Series 05 (TIRANË) feat. Edmond Lila' (Albanian tenor) - a record of world music and electronics that was highly appreciated by Gilles Peterson. 2018 is the year in which he released his first two albums: 'Logica Aggregazione' - under the alias XXXV Gold Fingers - and 'Common Series 07 (LAS CANCHAS). The latter attracted the attention of several magazines and made it to the weekly Top10 with Suspiria by Thom York. In 2019, he launched the XXXV Edits project: a vinyl series focused on the dancefloor and exploring funk/soul/jazz. The tribute to Irakere - the Cuban band founded by Chucho Valdes - was particularly appreciated and aired by Worldwide FM. He has been active in the local scene since the 90s as DJ and as a live performer since 2010 (Fuck Normality Festival, SeeYouSound Festival, Locomotive Jazz Festival, etc.). He joins the Clone family in 2019 for the Clone Monday stream in Rotterdam. His experience also includes soundtracking works: in 2018 a sonorization of dawn, in 2020 a live performance in a marine nature reserve, in 2021 during the artistic residency of Feelm by SEI Festival, where he created a soundtrack to the early cinema of Lumière and Edison together with other musicians (Valentina Magaletti, Francesco Farfa, Donato Epiro, etc.). His influences are open to a wide variety of music that he has absorbed in twenty years of passionate work in this field. His pieces mix the organic and the synthetic, the environmental and the imaginary. His works are characterized by the use of field recordings, guitars, vocals, hand tambourines and synthesizers, resulting in an earthy electronic music - both cerebral and visceral. As DJ, Erroi creates unique vinyl sets with a mix of house, techno, acid, funk, afro, experimental and ambient - all with an old-school aftertaste.
