i-DJ: Davide Squillace

Squillace's next EP is set to come via his own imprint This and That and he's teamed up with Berlin producer Philip Bader. After they joined forces back in 2012 with ‘Wild Things’ we're suitably excited for their next outing.

We have the premiere of one of the cuts and '14.000km away' is a delectably deep and devilishly dark cut. Its rolling groove just keeps on giving and if you want to inspire some final-stretch fist-pumping in your set then this is the cut for you.


Premiere: Davide Squillace & Philip Bader '14.000 Km Away'

We're always up for a spot of European collaboration here at Data Transmission (sorry Mr. Farage), so what could be better than an British-raised Italian and 'ein Berliner' firing some funky tech-house our way?

Following the success of their 2012 underground hit 'Wild Things', Davide Squillace and Philip Bader team up yet again, for the latest offering from creative melting-pot This & That. The result? Two dance floor dominating cuts - 'Free The Visa' and '14.000 KM Away'.

Check out 'Free The Visa', exclusively, here: http://datatransmission.co.uk/news/exclusive-premiere-davide-squillace-and-philip-bader-free-visa/

Davide Squillace & Philip Bader - Free The Visa (This & That)

Carl Cox really doesn't need much of an introduction. We all know he's a genius behind the decks and is an Ibiza legend thanks to his 13-year-old Music Is Revolution party at Space. 

He's a dab hand in the studio too, releasing on Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto, Play It Again Sam and recently Mood Records with the the 'See You Next Tuesday' EP alongside Nigeria-born producer Nicole Moudaber.

Davide Squillace - A Walk Around [Telemaco, 1998]

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

Italian techno don Davide Squillace, has joined forces with experimental indie outfit PLUGGER, for a new techno EP that’s set to blow your socks off!

Tipped for release on Squillace’s own imprint on 23rd March, ‘Re_Cycle#1’ might come as a surprise to diehard fans of This And That – it’s considerably more “out there” than most of the label’s previous catalogue. The risk appears to have paid off for Squillace, with the producer and DJ reworking PLUGGER’s brand of psychedelic rock for the dance floor, cue dark and broody techno for the early morning hours!  


Listen to an exclusive stream of the EP’s atmospheric A side ‘Waxoline’ via DJ Mag and read what Davide had to say when we caught up with him below.

Davide Squillace & PLUGGER ‘Re_Cycle#1’ is out on This And That on 23rd March.

Hey Davide! Where in the world are you?

“Right now, I'm in Barcelona between the office and the studio, and getting ready for the weekend.”

How did your collaboration with PLUGGER kick off?

“I met Alex Braga, the man behind Plugger, two summers ago in Ibiza and was amazed by his multidisciplinary artistic approach, the concept of PLUGGER, plus the power and psychedelia of the music, as well as his impressive multimedia live show. Plus, we got along very well immediately. It's amazing how people that have the same view in life are drawn to each other among thousands, even if they don't know each other.”

What's the story behind ‘Re_Cycle#1’?

“This And That is more than a label, it's a factory for multitalented artists to grow and expand their boundaries. ‘Re_Cycle#1’ is not only my first collaboration with PLUGGER and their debut on the clubbing scene, it is the beginning of an artistic journey into something different, made of groovy music, stunning videos, impressive shows, sculptures, pictures, technology all to serve one concept: how to reach into the infinite inside the finiteness of our boundaries. PLUGGER might be the answer!”

Tell us a little about This And That?

““She” follows no rules, is out of stereotypes, and has interacted with the arts since the beginning, but is – of course – music oriented, she’s all about releasing good music! (This And That) is not a “send us your promo label”, we really fall in love with the artists (that) we decide to sign and we consider them part of a family. It’s also a way of pushing out our passion for art and design. The first ten covers (for the label) are designed by very important contemporary artists – people like Christian Flamm, Piero Golia and Gavin Russom – and we try to support every release with a video - you can see these on our vimeo channel. At the end of the day, we really like to create, make the process funnier! Our slogan is: “draw music, play arts”.”

Plans for 2015? Tours, dates?

“I have a very crazy, special year ahead and a non-stop schedule! I’m leaving for Miami soon and then a North and South American tour after that. From there, I’m coming back for the Ibiza openings, then Sonar (in Barcelona) and then the summer! I’m working on my “Telemaco” album, it’s not 4/4 music, and some very cool collaborations, like the one with Marcelo Burlon, a great Italian fashion designer. Also working with my partners to develop my party brand!”

Anything else we should know?

“Only a month to go before the new born ;)” 

PREMIERE: Davide Squillace & Plugger - Waxoline

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

Davide Squillace_It sall about the Toe

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.
