Davide Squillace's label This And That Lab welcomes back German artist Niconé, featuring the incredible voice of Irish native Enda Gallery!

An artist who needs no introduction, Niconé’s consistent sound has made him a regular on labels such as Bar 25 Music, Dantze and Katermukke. His music cannot be defined simply by a genre, but rather a feeling . Enda’s prominent voice has quickly gained attention, with various releases and collaborations on Bar 25, Einmusika and others. We are happy to welcome him on board!

The EP comprises the original "Temporary Illusion” in two versions, Running and Clomping, with vibrant melodies, hypnotic arpeggios and catchy, resonating vocal hooks.

It also features an electric Davide Squillace remix. A sublime reinterpretation, with nods to old school sounds, and lost nights on the dance floor.

Der gebürtige Hamburger besteht zu mind. 51% aus echtem Seemannsgarn und vertilgt schonmal ein bis drei Matjesfilets am Nachmittag, denn das ist bekanntlich gesund und versalzt einem den Tag. Seinen Heimathafen hat er bei den Klabautermännern- und Frauen des Hamburger Pastanaga Kollektivs gefunden. Doch die See rief ihn und so lichtete er Anfang 2021 die Anker und erkundete für 3 Jahre die Clubgewässer Berlins, bevor es wieder zurück zum Tor zur Welt ging. 

Das tanzmusikalische Seefahrereinmaleins studierte er bei schunkeligen Ausfahrten am Südpol oder im Moloch sowie in der berühmt-berüchtigten, grummeligen Bucht. Angetan vom Gesang der Snarenen und mitgerissen vom Wellengang der tieffrequenten Baselines fielen ihm irgendwann die Schuppen von den Augen und er beschloss das Ruder selbst in die Hand zu nehmen, hisste die Schwalbenflagge und stach mit seiner Jolle Namens Irene in See. Schon von weither erkannte man ihn durch das Fernrohrokular, denn anstelle von zerfetztem Schlapphut und ner Pulle Rum – wie man das bei so manch lausigem Piratenpack erwarten mag – trifft man Capitano niklasecco stets mit passender Kopfbedeckung und ner Flöte perligem Schaumwein an.

Seine Expeditionen in die knatterigen Tiefgewässer folgen einer klaren Route: Die Kompassnadel zeigt zweifellos in Richtung massig-bassig und das Echolot verzeichnet niedrigfrequente Beschallung. Wir tuckern mit geschmeidig aufregenden 106-116 bpm-knoten immer der Nase nach – mal links mal rechts zack – ohne Ziel und ohne Plan, doch ohne uns je wirklich zu verfahren.

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.
