wicked whooho waxx!!

We are proud and extremely humbled to present to you our very first release, "Unveiled" by rising German starlet "Phil".

Phil is based in Mainz not to far from Frankfurt home to the legendary club Robert Johnson. An astute music connoisseur who selects every instrument he uses with care and caresses every tone as if his life depended upon it. On listening to the three original tracks served up by Phil you instantly get a feel for this young artists character and musical vision. Also a very keen vinyl enthusiast it is no surprise that Phil has landed an internship at Freebase Records.

We welcome Phil into the Steppers & Sleepers family and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

On Remix duty we have [anon.] label and Othertones Records Co-owner, Dan Farserelli who needs no introduction. The Londoner is an integral part of the cities underground scene, and one of few who can say they have played in all three rooms at fabric and we hope you enjoy his Tresor style remix of "No Surroundings".

Coming Soon

The second episode of the Extra Virgin project delivers a pure family collection of tracks created by our homemade artists Minimono, The Clover, Rufus and David Campanini: a 4 tracks ep for any appeal and the good times are back! 
Minimono again hits with a very strong funky filtered track originally combining their 70's attitude with a contemporary filter house production expressing themselves at the top. "Feel Better" is an amazing rework of a mysterious funky old '70s song, and the result is so strong on the dance floor that when you'll play it ...you'll really Feel Better! The second track sees the debut on Bosconi from our beloved producer David Campanini who drops out an emotional and symphonic funky assault inspired by Blaxploitation movies soundtracks, Roy Ayers and co., where the slapped bass, the wha wha guitar, the epic horns and the immediate feeling will drive you from the chair into the middle of the party. Shake yo booty!!
B side starts with the already known Rufus that after his EP on Extra Virgin 01 comes back with this rubbery and slow building Disco House track. Here Rufus shows us again how the nice "cuts on the voices" style, the combination of sounds from vintage instruments like rhodes and guitar passed by analog valvular machines, and, especially, real strings, could create an atmospherical jump in the past, where also John Travolta couldn't stop keep on dancing all night long!
Last but not the least is the one from the youngest freaky trio The Clover introducing you a groovy jacked out track with a solid drum and an overwhelming clap. The bass from their bassplayer G- key and the pads movements give a deep touch of soul at work. Sweet, emotional, crazy, romantic and with a touch of the earliest Pepe Bradock's productions, "In da Wood" creates a very rare and original moment on the dance floor, and it could be helpful for your opening sets or as the perfect soundtrack of your love story, that night..

Have you ever wished you could capture a song that lies unwritten in your head, hit record and share that idea with those around you?

In John Shirley’s cyberpunk novel Freezone, Minimonos are a group of humanoids enhanced with a new technology that allows them to translate music directly from their brains into an audible form.
The Minimonos only resistance comes in the form of Rickenharp, an aging traditionalist who believes only in pure rock ‘n’ roll. The novel climaxes with Rickenharp rescinding his fight to the unstoppable force of evolution.


Turn back time to 1997 in Florence, Italy, and a like-minded collective of artists were gathering together, inspired by the boundless possibilities where modern technology and creativity were meeting.
Operating under the Minimono banner, the close-knit community employed different mediums for exploring the potential the digital age had brought.
In 2003, one of the founders Ennio Colaci met with local DJ Fabio Della Torre, and the course of Minimono was steered towards a specific focus on music production. Success came quickly for the pair, scoring releases with respected European labels such as Telegraph, Tuningspork, Tenax, Oslo and Ethique, all suited to their stripped-back, experimental sounds rooted in the endless funk of house music.
At the end of another decade, the Minimono sound embodies a fuller aesthetic, where warm instrumentation and rich melodies combine with an innate understanding of the soulful building blocks of 60s and 70s black American music.


To understand the Minimono of today, look no further than their record labels, Bosconi and Bosconi Extra Virgin. Bosconi reaches across the realms of modern day house and techno, but embraces the emotion and rawness of a more classic age in dance music. The largely Italian roster includes Alex Picone, Ilario Alicante, Mass_Prod and
of course Minimono themselves. As well as the homegrown talent, they have reached out to the likes of The Revenge, Mark E, Altered Natives and Bruno Pronsato for tracks and remixes.
Bosconi Extra Virgin is more concerned with an organic, beating heart kind of house music where loose, live instrumentation takes precedence over programmed perfection. Hence Minimono decided that their debut album ‘Runaway’ should be an Extra Virgin release.


‘Runaway’ is the culmination of a long process that began with a summer full of inspiration for both Fabio and Ennio. The end result is equal parts floor-friendly house music and downtempo home-listening, with a strong vein of funk running through every track.
Take a track like ‘No Time To Lose’, where vocals, guitar licks and fuzzy Rhodes keys come together with a house groove built around drum machine beats and hooky samples. Elsewhere ‘Smoking Mind’ tips its hat to the chopped up edits of their earlier years, while ‘Runaway’ is an atmospheric, soaring dancefloor ballad with its yearning strings and horns. ‘Weeds’ flips the script once again with a
low-slung hip hop rhythm and jazzy undertones.
Emotionally rich and laden with funk, the eleven tracks that make up ‘Runaway’ pass through many different realms in the world of dance music without ever succumbing to banality or repetition.


It’s also worth noting that the album cover shows the logo of Minimono, a sculpture by the artist Sandro Mele. The sculpture now rests on the Halcon White estate in Buenos Aires, a lasting testament
to the driving principle of Minimono; embracing collaboration and experimentation to explore new means of artistic expression.

Minimono - My Sun [BoscoEXVLP01 - Bosconi Extra Virgin]

Frits Wentink launches his new label Bobby Donny with ‘Live Fast, Dwayne Young’.  Bobby Donny has been set up to primarily feature Frits Wentink’s own tracks, but focusing on the wonkier, more lo-fi house edge of his sound.  The emphasis will be on tracks that are hardware jams on Rhodes, Juno 60 or mpc, then structured later. 

His first EP on Bobby Donny opens with ‘Dwayne Young’, which puts the fun into funky with its deep vibe, filtered vocals and creative samplings.  Slowing it down, ‘Rio’ is next, like a short but sweet interlude of off-kilter slow-mo experimentation.  Then it’s back to the grooving house beats of ‘Guacamole’ with its jazzy backbone, before the melodious ‘Q&A’ kicks in, featuring a gorgeously wobbly overtone.  ‘Aquarelle’ is a perfect ending, with distorted elements gradually coming together to find their harmonious compromise.

With ‘Live Fast, Dwayne Young’ Frits Wentink once again displays the hugely creative talents of this much sought after producer.  It’s released on vinyl and digitally 22nd June.
