Davide squillace

Born in Siena, raised in Naples but growing up as an artist in London, Davide Squillace follows in a long line of international musicians adopted by the British capital as one of it’s very own.  Returning to Italy with a new found zeal from the European metropolis Davide quickly found himself the name on peoples lips both at home and abroad as he quickly became one of the hottest acts on the scene playing at some of the worlds coolest nightspots. 

Now living in Barcelona, he runs This and That Lab, a unique fusion of label and think tank combining music, art and culture used as a platform for Davide and other like minded artists to develop creative projects in music, visual art, design, fashion and writing. He also forms one third of electronic super group Better Lost Stupid alongside scene luminaries Martin Buttrich & Matthias Tanzmann who delivered several of our favourite performances of 2014. 

So with a big year ahead beginning with a hotly anticipated appearance at London’s Fire for Saved Records first showcase of 2015 January 31st we thought it was about time we had Davide drop a mix for our podcast series. Check it out now!

DTP419 - Davide Squillace - Datatransmission

This month This And That present our newest podcast mixed by the italian duo Haiku 575. Haiku is a Japanese lyric verse form containing three unrhymed lines of five, seven, and five syllables, traditionally invoking an aspect of nature or the seasons.
Haiku 575 is the musical vision of this poetry style: 5 are the lines in a music sheet. 7 are the notes. 5 are the senses. 
Haiku 575 is a duo composed by M_Abbatangelo (label manager and co-owner with Davide Squillace of This And That Lab) and Cipy (a veteran producer and long-time member of the Get Physical and Kinsdisch family), who after more than a decade of friendship decided to go into the studio together to pursue a common musical vision: titles composing a poem, and a sound that errs on the minimal side of the spectrum while maintaining a deep, melodic groove and a penchant for harmonies. 
Haiku 575 is based in Barcelona but influenced from the world.
