No Name Trouble House (IT)

Trouble House Catania is a project founded by Ernesto Barbaro, professionally known as ERN, a Sicilian entrepreneur and DJ with more than twenty years of experience in the electronic music industry.

Located at Corso delle Province 82, Catania (Italy), Trouble House has established itself as one of Southern Italy's most innovative music facilities. Combining a state-of-the-art DJ Room with a professional recording and music production studio, it serves as a creative hub for DJs, producers, and artists from across Italy and beyond.

Over the years, Trouble House has evolved into a thriving center for creativity and collaboration, welcoming hundreds of artists and developing nationally recognised projects, including the GHOTA DJ Contest, which continues to attract participants from all over the country.

Its facilities have also hosted internationally acclaimed artists and industry professionals such as Louie Vega, Nick Fanciulli, Andrea Oliva, and many others, reinforcing its reputation as a place where electronic music culture, artistic development, and professional networking come together.

This vision also gave birth to NO NAME, an initiative dedicated to discovering and supporting the next generation of electronic music talent. Created to provide emerging artists with a genuine pathway toward the international scene, NO NAME will symbolically represent the winner of the second prize of the GHOTA DJ Contest.

As part of this opportunity, the selected artist will perform a DJ set during the Amsterdam Dance Event (ADE), taking place as part of the festival's prestigious 30th edition—one of the world's leading gatherings for electronic music, club culture, and the global music industry. This unique experience is designed to transform an emerging talent into an artist ready to engage with an international audience and industry professionals.

Today, Trouble House continues to invest in artist education, music production, and talent development, with the mission of providing a professional environment where passion, expertise, and innovation converge. Its goal is to create meaningful opportunities for artistic growth, professional development, and international exposure for the next generation of electronic music artists
