bosconi records has long been renowned as arguably italy s foremost exporter of house and techno music. 10 years in, they celebrate one decade in the game courtesy of bosconi stallions volume 2features some of the label s most prominent names.

dba present another vinyl-only various artists excursion, once again mixing new arrivals to the label like london’s karen gwyer, raven cru and italys dukwa, with established label favourite lily.

we left herva & dukwa with a bunch of bangers with their latest ep -it fell down-… we found em back only after few months with their first lifes track longer player featuring an impressive variety of styles but always with their unmissable, raw and twisted up touch. this album of 8 tracks, spread in one twelve and a seven inches, starts on a side with the funky break of -needed-, continuing with the deep driving moment of -amore- and the hip hop beat of -put it on-. on the flip side instead we find the catchy vocal riff of the stomping roller called -freak with us- followed by the soulful ghetto tech vibe of “call it you” and the melancholic, romantic, stoned and rotten lullaby of -tired brass-. more tasty and unusual grooves are included in the tiny wax which close the record up, on a side the peaceful, abstract, suspended and atmospheric dimensions of * play with me* and on the other the glow-fi-sh and -emo--tech wave of -venere-. unmissible!

herva, of delsin, kontra, mos and all city fame, offers another set of forward-thinking dancefloor bombs. across four tracks this young italian demonstrates his unique interpretation of the past and the future again and again. herva is the artist name of herve atsè corti. he was born in 1991, and has been surrounded by music from the beginning thanks to his family. he made a reputation for himself early on at high school as a talented drummer, but, intrigued by electronic music he decided to start making his own beats with a laptop. a few years later bosconi records released his early productions, both as herva both and as life’s track (a side project with dukwa). he is also part of tru west, a collective he founded with mass prod, rufus and raffaele amenta.

the return on bosconi of the wonderkids from firenze sud, herva and dukwa (aka marco d aquino) as life s track, consists in a explosive blend of pure freestyle ghetto goodness!! four burning tracks dense of special effects, sound manipulations through tape distortions and pyrotechnic structures: a side starts with the funky builder it fell down, a full on, rough and raw ultra filtered disco house dancefloor anthem in the vein of a more warped and f**ked up bangalter or shake shakir, while on the second cut there s the aggressive and drunk ghetto blaster of come on, on b side instead you ll find the breathtaking groove from the driving acid techno bossa of -rescue me- and the electro breaks from lost cassettes of the melancholic and dreamy closing ep lullaby -sometimes theycome back-..
