dandi e ugo, bio
Our trip in house music began in far 1989 when our strong friendship and our common love for club electronic music became a passion: dj! In this way began our story of the double dj set: we work in pair like we are an only one dj, we put on the stereo two viniles for all the length of our live set, so we are able to unite our musical preferences to make our nights full of energy! In these years the evolution of sound, rhythm, melody thrill us really a lot and make us listen and play different kind of music: acid house, techno detroit, underground, drum’n'bass,trip hop, progressive, deep house and electro techno.

The early equipment, early viniles, early nights in our zone’s club. Born as a sort of a game deeper and deeper our passion became a job, a job that brought us to work within djs and producers of national and international fame, and to co-operate with very important clubs like peter pan (riccione), ecu (rimini), pascia’ (riccione), classic club (rimini), les folies de pigalle (reggio emilia), prince (riccione), cocorico’ (riccione), matis (bologna), sophia (gabicce), wishclub afterhour (misano monte), cubadust storkino (milano marittima) and, of course, our favourite one: echoes liz music club (misano monte) where we are resident djs of the privè: cristal black.

After all these years of amusement, nights, afterhours, curiosity brought us to discover new ways, so we bought our first personal computer and sequencer and after two years, thanks to the collaboration of a great dj and producer (ricky montanari), we made our first single: ricky montanari presents dandi & ugo “beat conductor” (part 1 & 2) for the label “re vox” (ivano coppola a.r.), distributed from levelone. Thanks to the great results of this project we could meet and co-operate with artists like raymond barry (producer of electro house n.o.i.a., klein & mbo, funk revenge…) which whom we are co-operating nowaday.

We are also working with fabio carniel (multicolor records, dirty house, part one…), guido nemola (joyfull family), producers loaded and santorini, dj & great producer andrea bertolini (stereo seven plus label), dub recording label, luca de ponti (art director label), dj and producer timothy with his crew: the mood (steve and andy lee), dj and producer alex d’elia (looseheadz). Tonkind records (berlin) . Savas pascalidis (lasergun records) “berlin “. Rainer weichhold (great stuff records) “germany”

Fase is the aka for Gustavo Gagliardo, Leandro Waisbord, Pedro Perelman and Martin Tibabuzo. Fase means phase, and for sure this word becamed much more significant for us through time. As an art collective-visual crew we borned in 2000, in Buenos Aires, where westill live and have our operation’s base.

As producers, moving between techno, electro, minimal, it’s been always difficult to get fixed on a style. Always changing mind. But some sounds are still living on our music from the beginning. Tubes, water sounds, weird frequences, clicks, glitchs. Groove as a purpose, bassdrums and basses, main characters. Fat sounds and break beats, between 130 and 135 bpm. Melodys come from downstairs, noises from factories, dark sinthes and dirty sounds, no sugar. Detroit’s underground, Richie Hawtin and Laurent Garnier music as basic influences, but also Basquiat as an example to understand wich worlds we are sharing constantly.

We plan our music-visual sets, finding straight relationships between sounds and images, building “climas”, organic structures. Not as complement but as a main construction. Sequences are made exactly for the tracks. Working almost with graphic images and with fantasy as a topic, sinthesis or abstraction, powerful colors. Colors as lights, always on a proggressive way. Music representing images, images representing music.

Dirtybird, a bona fide genre drifter and indecisive vinyl addict, has been a relentless electronic music fan for the past 15 years. Her journey to denver and then back to chicago in the late 90s marked the beginning of dirtybird’s obsession with sharing a unique blend of sounds that had soul, regardless of genre. Denver’s newly thriving scene infected dirtybird, and by the time she moved back to chicago she was consumed. It felt natural to buy some decks and start creating her own music.

Ember aka Leak, bio:

Born in 1986, Ember is a Belgian producer with Italian roots who discovers the way of producing electronic music at the age of 18.

Affected by the whole DJ/Producer oriented scene, his work evolves through a mixture of a variety of styles such as electronica, dub or minimal techno.
Once, the Border Community label took him along in dreams with trancy atmospheres…

But his influences are multiple; from Detroit-Techno and Chicago-House to the contemporary French and German electro-scene.

International artists like Magda, Troy pierce, Jake fairley aka Fairmont, Lazy fat poeple, Petter, Nathan Fake, Hemman & Kaden Slam,Vince Watson, Kenny larkin… made a great impression on his approach of production.

Thanks a lot to Dj Dandi & Ugo for giving me the chance to release my tracks on their netlabel. And another special thank to Dj AkÓ (Belgium) for his support!

Buenas, tras unos días sin comentar nada por falta de tiempo, esto de la migración ha sido muy pesado, por fin puedo dejar de lado las cosas técnicas para centrarme de nuevo en la música, que al fin y al cabo es por lo que todos estamos aquí. Después de “Blumera”, una novena referencia que nos dejó con la boca abierta vuelven los chicos de Italobusiness con una nueva entrega musical, esta vez con un añadido especial ya que se trata de su décima publicación.
Siguiendo con el estilo habitual de este sello, que personalmente me encanta, renuevan una vez más sus lazos con el minimal techno más divertido y un sonido siempre muy profesional. Exceptuando el último track, que es una rallada, los demás buenísimos.

Lucas Romagnuolo, Bio:
I was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina in 1981. When I was 10 years started to play and the death and they took me, then, toward the dark music. All these musical style helped me then, to the moment to create my sounds. alternating with my work (chef) it continued with the analog music creation.

In 2000, I discovered the electronic music and was captivated for the minimalist sounds. This same year I started to produce whit basic equipment, and was develop the musical technical.

In the 2002 I carry out my first dj sets, basically of minimal house & minimal techno, looking for the more dark sounds of this genre, always continuing with the production, now exclusively of electronic music. At the moment continuous with the music production and djing, in minimal parties and other events; and using the poetry in the sound creation.
