After an amazing Sonar in our home city of Barcelona, This and That are back and raring to go with our fifth release. We really excited to welcome Prudo & Nibiru into our ever-growing family. They are great guys and have made some really special music for this release. Our friends Alfa Romero, Philip Bader, Dyed Soundorom and Audiofly have all provided excellent remixes to make sure that this is a package that we are all super excited about at This and That.

Prudo & Nibiru is the collaboration between one of our most admired producers Marzio Aricò (Prudo) and exciting trumpet player / electronic producer Andrea Guzzoletti (Nibiru). Both of these super talented Italians work together at Alfa Romero Recordings and we find them working together in perfect synergy once again on “I’ve Got The Feeling.” Built around a groovy bassline, swirling sonics, punchy beats and climatic vocals, the track magnifies into a soulful, colourful burst of underground house. Prudo teams up with fellow Alfa Romero partner Lorenzo Bartoletti for an excellent rework that stretches out the vocals, taking us on an unrestrained trip that feels every bit like a live performance as it does a dancefloor tune.

Prudo & Nibiru’s “Time To Go back” will be released on the vinyl only package in September, but we are excited to present three remixes of it on the digital package “right here, right now.” First up, firm This and That member Philip Bader turns in a typically idiosyncratic rework, founded on funky percussion, fluid basslines and improvisational, jazz-like synth work. Dyed Soundorom takes things into deeper territory with subterranean bass, driving 4/4s, hi-hats and snapping rhythms. It’s a perfect example of why we love Dyed’s sound so much here at This and That. Our Barcelona buddies Audiofly close the EP with a wonderfully unique remix that breathes new life into the original. Highly textured and sonically off the charts, we are not sure if this was made in outer space or somewhere in the future. All we know is that we love it and we can’t stop playing it! 

Continuing our work with Galleria Fonti in Napoli, we are delighted to present the latest cover art, this time provided by the incredibly talented Seb Patane. Like much of his work, this piece plays on notions of performance seen in decontextualized contexts and on contrasting ideas of the animate juxtaposed over a sense of deadness.

Davide is not available for comment. He’s got to catch a flight; he’s rushing to the studio; the stage manager is frantically hurrying him into the booth; he’s meeting to discuss plans for his labels…or any of the other myriad reasons why Davide feels like he hasn’t slept, eaten or stopped running for what seems like his whole life.

Born in Siena, raised in Naples, it took a trip to London for Davide to finally discover electronic music. Wooed by the mood and sound of the British scene, he returned to Naples flush with energy, excitement and a knowing that this new calling would consume him. 

Davide immersed himself in this world in every conceivable way. In 1999 he began studying at the Naples’ school of sound engineering, tinkering with his first productions, promoting techno events, and finally performing. His first releases on Primate Records, Design Music andConform were a cadence of his arrival and showcased the young artist’s steadfast style.

Having honed his craft at home, in 2004 Davide left Naples for Barcelona unwavering in his resolve. Now, while touring around the continent, he began to release in earnest what would become a massive body of work, and at a dizzying pace. His productions have graced the catalogs of some of the finest labels including Ovum, Sci+Tec, Morris Audio, Resopal Schallware, Supernature, CMYK, Adagio, Viva, Nervous, Saved, Shake, Rillis; the list goes on… 

Added to that, you have to take into account the labels which Davide founded and still curatestoday – Sketch, Minisketch, Vir, 500, Titbit and Hideout. 2012 sees the start of Davide’s latest innovative project. This and That Lab will be 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.

In addition to his genre-defining works, Davide continues to inspire and ignite dancefloors worldwide. Whether it be at Circoloco, where he has been a resident since 2007, Womb, Berghain, D.Edge, or any other marquee venue, Davide plays with an unequalled funk and excitement. His signature sets, revered by the masses and peers alike, do a double duty in guarding our much-loved traditions while constantly pushing them forward.

The realm of possibilities for one of electronic music’s leading lights is endless. Unfortunately, the minutes in the day are not. Davide’s answer is simple – do what you love and make no compromises.
