Joseph Capriati is marking two decades as a touring DJ, and he is doing it the only way that makes sense — back home in Naples. On Saturday, September 27, 2026, Capriati will headline a one-off anniversary event at Ex Base Nato, running from 2pm to midnight, with support from Honey Dijon, Chris Stassy, Josh Baker and Quest. It is the only event anywhere in the world where Capriati is celebrating the milestone, according to the announcement.
Naples is where Capriati’s story starts, and the city has stayed central to his identity through a career that has taken him to more than 70 countries across six continents. He came up helping shape the Neapolitan scene and has spent 20 years moving between minimal, house and techno, both behind the decks and in the studio, without ever really settling into one lane.
The lineup put together for the occasion says as much about Capriati’s taste as it does his standing in the scene. Honey Dijon, one of the more culturally significant and musically versatile DJs working right now, joins the bill alongside Chris Stassy, whose groove-driven house and techno sets have made him one of the more in-demand names on the current circuit. Josh Baker and Quest round out a lineup that covers a good stretch of underground house.
Capriati’s discography includes releases on CLR, Drumcode, Kompakt and Nervous Records, along with his own imprints Redimension Music and Metamorfosi Records. That body of work has earned him multiple DJ Awards titles, including Techno Master and Tech House, plus Vicious Magazine’s Best International DJ award.
The venue itself adds another layer to the night. Ex Base Nato is a former NATO military base on Viale della Liberazione in Naples, and its history makes it a fitting backdrop for a celebration built around Capriati’s own two decades of evolution.
The anniversary show also lands in the middle of Capriati’s Metamorfosi residency at Amnesia, which launched in 2022 and has grown steadily over the past four years. This year marks Amnesia’s 50th anniversary, making Capriati’s continued presence at the club that watched him rise feel less like a comeback and more like a full-circle moment for both the venue and his own career.
