Initialize (Minimono remix)
Review: While the resurgent Vibraphone may be known for its silky smooth deep house confections, the Italian label also has other interests guiding its musical policy. The seemingly unknown KNLB steps up to prove this on Initialize by serving up a rich and engrossing broth of tracks loaded with depth and detail. "Second Wind" takes on a slow breakbeat trip with lingering piano sprinkled on top, while "Apollo" comes on like a warm and energised twist on dub techno motion. "Initialize" heads for a more introverted kind of house, which Minimono then infect with a bouncy energy on their remix.

Fabio Della Torre aka Corcos is an Italian DJ/producer from Florence. An influential  figure in Italy’s electronic music scene, Della Torre is the brains behind Bosconi, one of his country’s most esteemed house music imprints. Alongside Ennio Colaci, Della Torre also produces as one half of production duo, Minimono, themselves veritable purveyors of discerning electronic music.
Della Torre’s DJ career began in earnest at Florence’s infamous Tenax club back in 1995. Since then he has appeared in practically every Italian nightclub of note, as well as a range of global institutions. Panorama Bar for example, hosted a Bosconi label showcase, while Concrete Paris, Tresor, DC10, Rex Club and Flash DC are all among those who have played host to Fabio’s unique sound.
Fabio’s association with Tenax is still well and truly alive today, as these days he DJs at the club as a monthly resident. An association that’s indicative of his timeless sound, his longstanding relationship with the club affords him a unique opportunity to showcase his wide-ranging skills to Florence’s many electronic music aficionados. As likely to spin deep house as he is minimal techno or more up-tempo
 
funk numbers, Della Torre’s passion and unpredictable nature is a hallmark of his extensive DJ style.
In 2008, alongside Ennio Colaci Fabio founded Bosconi records, with its sublabel, Bosconi Extra Virgin (an outlet for more eclectic releases), following soon after. To date, Bosconi has released over seventy records, with A Guy Called Gerald, DJ Nature, Andres, Paul Johnson, Scott Grooves and San Proper just some of those they’ve played host to. Bosconi is equally dedicated to fostering emerging Italian talent, with Herva, Life's Track, Nas1, Rufus, Dukwa, Riccio, Mass Prod and The Clover all equally responsible for the label’s quick ascension. Such is Bosconi’s reputation among in-the-know house heads, that in 2013, they had the distinction of being awarded Resident Advisor’s ‘Label of the Month’.
From a production perspective, Fabio’s solo works have appeared on the likes of Concrete Paris, Vibraphone, Robsoul, Inner Balance, Telegraph, Tuning Spork, Tenax and Oslo, while Cabanne, Marcel Fengler, Regen, Jay Haze, Eduardo De La Calle and Scott Grooves are among those who’ve remixed his work. Never one to pander to obvious trends or sounds, it’s with good reason that Fabio Della Torre is renowned as one of Italy’s finest electronic music exports.

MINIMONO 

aka Fabio della Torre & Ennio Colaci
(Bosconi - Elephant Moon - Inner Balance - Veniceberg)


Minimono was born in Florence in 1997 as a multimedia project involving experimentation through music installations, graphic design and theater performances. 
Only later, in 2002 when dj Fabio Della Torre met rock&roll drummer and electronic producer Ennio Colaci, Minimono became an exclusive and passionate music project. 
Their intent was melting their personal music experiences into a fresh techno productions with minimal experiments, still keeping a very pleasant funky house touch 
and combining dancefloor functionality with emphasis on melody and mood.

Minimono’s unconditioned effort to support and develop the local electronic scene eventually grabbed the attention of the hometown’s legendary Tenax Club and its respective label, Tenax Records.
After contributing with a powerful track and ep's on the Parisian Telegraph Records, minimono released also on other labels labels such as Tuningspork, Ethique, Safari Electronique, Loveletters From Oslo.
 
Their liveset has struck people’s attention for its dynamism, richness of electronic textures and from the duo's ability to manipulate on action a wide range of samples.
