Paki Palmieri "Obbalube" piramid al mix

Paki Palmieri presents King Kongas feat Nour Eddine "Tilo" full vocal mix

Davide Squillace’s new This and That imprint will launch with a three track twelve inch entitled ‘Manifesto.’ The EP sees the label delivering two brand new productions from the This and That boss himself in addition to a collaboration between Davide and Mexican singer, Alex Nazar. The three tracks explore the kind of genre-defying, blend of club atmospheres and emotions that This and That will stand for. This and That Lab will combine music, art and culture to provide a platform for like-minded artists to develop a host of creative projects. The first outlet of the Lab will be music and it is with ‘Manifesto’ that we welcome you to This and That.

‘Pieces of You’ is a bass-driven tech-house cut that comes with plenty of murky atmospherics. Deftly whispered vocals waft over a dense bottom end whilst synth swabs and FX create an unfamiliar but intoxicating soundscape. On the flip, Davide enlists the services of Alex Nazar, the Mexican born but LA based singer for rock band, Delta Wave. Showcasing the pair’s more pop-influenced sensibilities, the track is stripped back, allowing the vocal to take the lead over the underlying deep and rolling bassline. A host of curious sounds and tones in the background inject further personality into what is another inimitable track from the EP. ‘Morning Smile’ is the most laidback of the three, opening amid chiming melodies and a punchy beat. Proving Davide’s skills as a composer, the track builds with a subtle patience towards the colourful yet powerful sound that fills the entire track.

The artwork for the first single is provided by pioneering Italian artist Piero Golia. Having worked across a number of platforms throughout a revered career, Piero Golia drew This and That towards his work with a natural tendency towards flair and audacity. Having previously smashed a full-size passenger bus to fit into a fair booth in addition to producing a shiny metal real size unicorn from the leftovers of his destroyed car, the artist is someone who has never adhered to convention. Argentine artist Gaston Liberto’s work has been transformed into a captivating video by Chilean Gonzalo Tugas which you can see here http://vimeo.com/38582218

Pieces of You

This and That return for their second release with a four track, vinyl release from Davide Squillace and Philip Bader. Wild Things finds the pair settling into the groove with a brace of deep and hypnotic cuts that combine an underground club aesthetic with an intoxicating, druggy funk. Remixes of each track come from Italian Carola Pisaturo and Fuse resident Enzo Siragusa.

‘Wild Things’ mixes subtle melodies, grumbling bass and rolling beats to create a sinister yet energetic slab of tech-house. A powerful bottom end provides the backbone as curious FX and sparse vocals supply the hook. The effortless groove interplays perfectly with the intense atmosphere that burns and smokes below. Davide and Philip team up with American vocalist Big Bully for a bouncy, house strut on ‘Good Luck on the Romance Thing.’ Full of character, the track moves with attitude as punchy beats drive the melodic bassline on. Big Bully’s seductive vocals inject even more personality, making this a truly inimitable tune. The digital package will also include bonus track ‘So Close So Far’ which throws jazzier sounds in amongst churning bass and crisp drums.

Carola Pisaturo delivers the remix of ‘Wild Things’ adding real warmth to the original track without losing any of its passion. Her idiosyncratic fluid grooves roll beneath wonderfully quirky synth work to provide the kind of flair that has become synonymous with Pisaturo’s work.  ‘Good Luck on the Romance Thing’ gets reworked by Enzo Siragusa, founder and resident of Fuse. The Londoner turns in a dancefloor minded remix that twists the vocals and packs more pump into the 4/4s before building tension with escalating synths.

The artwork for the release this time around is provided by the impassioned Napolitan artist Lorenzo Scotto Di Luzio.  Now living in Berlin, Lorenzo has worked on wide range of media including sculpture, installation, photography, animation, music and video, building himself a reputation as one of Europe’s most interesting contemporary artists. Here, he delivers a special drawing for This and That. Director Simona Lianza has also provided this video for the release, presenting the art of ‘doing candies.’ https://vimeo.com/47262970

HIDEOUT in Tokyo @ WOMB, November 12th 2010

Davide Squillace @ Womb, Tokyo 12-11-2010 (Part 2)

Setting off with a full bodied beat, West Side Story makes its entrance with a wealth of sounds going on. Like lots of small chapters telling their tales, unusual vocal samples, electronic accents and an unexpected flute appearance are just some of the ingredients that keep this tune on its toes, and allow it to give more when you least expect it. A superbly high impact track.
Next up, Around The Bay creeps in with a hypnotic spin, requisite bassline and some pretty eerie vocals. Whether it’s the lyrics or the spooky tones of the voice featured, this track is an odd offering. However, thanks to being a favourite of Tiefschwarz’s it undoubtedly has a home somewhere deep, down and densely dark in the grimiest of late night clubs, if that’s your bag.
On the other hand, if you’re looking for something a bit more up-tempo, don’t miss the digital bonus where “Planetaria lift things up nicely again”, states DJ mag. I couldn’t agree more – this hidden gem is where the EP really comes into its own as the pace picks up and a looped sequence of horns steal the limelight. Tanking on like a burning fuse, the track continues to race towards the end before fizzling out just at the right time and not a minute before.

Davide Squillace & Luca Bacchetti West Side Story

So yeah as we wanted at first to make a remix just for the fun of it to enter the competition under another name, we were oficially requested by Rich to do a remix of Damage Control, an original we already spun a lotta times. At first we wanted to make something really out of the box n different more breaks guided like our remix for opiuo but as some certain people cant really appreciate musicianship over style we just gave them what they want, and did what we can do best which is delivering complextro like no one does. (altho we admit this tunes first drop has quite a far too loud vibe). 
But the main reason we did this remix is because we EFFIN LOVE Hirshee, Lazy Rich and Amba, good people with great personalities that we had the chance and honor to hang out with.
Thanks,
DL



Lazy Rich, Hirshee feat. Amba Shepherd - Damage Control (Dirtyloud Remix)

A – Davide Squillace & Guti – THE OTHER SIDE OF HUSTLER
B – Davide Squillace & Guti – THE OTHER SIDE OF HUSTLER Carl Cox Remix

This and That’s enigmatic back catalogue is enhanced once again on their fourth release; this time by the formidable trio of Davide Squillace, Guti and Carl Cox.

Following on from the success of their 2011 collaboration, ‘That Ginger Ponytail’, good friends Davide Squillace and Guti got in the studio together for another trailblazing session behind the desk. Seemingly having even more fun than last time around, the pair clearly enjoyed bringing out the eccentricities of each other’s personalities on this track. The result is a record that is both fun and groovy; underground yet still insatiably infectious. ‘The Other Side Of Hustler’ is built around a wildly loose and funky bassline that underpins the entire track. There’s a real fluidity to the tune, due in no small part to the producers’ deft ability at allowing the deep bassline to run with freedom alongside some untamed drumming whilst also retaining the track’s clear narrative. 

On the flip, This and That are delighted to welcome Carl Cox into the family with his dope remix of the title track. Stripping things back somewhat, Carl replaces the funk of the original with a building sense of tension, constructed with dub-like bass stabs. The subtle groove works towards a climax that although threatens with skewered synths and crisp hi-hats, never actually spills over.

Galleria Fonti’s Birgit Megerle provides the intriguing artwork for this release. The Berlin based artist has won wide acclaim for her abstract and passionate style, an aesthetic that is on display as  she joins the This and That family with this great piece.
