ITEM 019EP
|
Danny Benedettini returns to Items & Things with his second solo effort for the label, Sweet Lies. A child of punk and cult horror film iconography, the Italian Benedettini continues to hone his unique take on disco-charred techno experimentation. In true Items & Things fashion, the four tracks on Sweet Lies could easily be have been transported directly from late '70s Italy or early '90s Detroit. Their evocative themes explore the contrasting worlds in which both Goblin and James Stinson loiter.

ITEM 006EP
|
Marc Houle, Magda and Troy Pierce entrust their imprint to Italian up-and-comer Danny Benedettini. "Tell Me Quietly" is a retro-tinged trip through modern dancefloor sounds, with slickly-executed beats and tight arrangements. "Disco Hook" takes its cues directly from its name -- a three-note bass loop pieces it all together, combining neon melodies with a house beat for an intriguing taste of deconstructed disco. "Nephastum" takes the disco influence even deeper with sultry cut-n-paste voices and floating Rhodes keys.
