About Presslaboys
We live in Arezzo. We like it here because we have
a studio immersed in nature and quietness,
essential requirement to compose music; even if
geographically we are far away from the large
musical business centres (London, New York,
Milan). Luigi: "When I was young, and money was
lacking, I stole two microphones and a mixer from
a Friary to start to making music. Another time,
while being the DJ, I went down to slap a guy that
was trying to flirt with my girlfriend and then I
went back in time to change the record; another
day I got to the studio and I found Omar and the
other guys completely drunk and spaced out and
also a terrible mess, so I took the guitar and
chased Omar to smash it on its head and he fell
down and break a shoulder. In1996 instead, while
we were in my basement during a storm, the studio
got flooded and we looked like homeless people
holding all our instruments. Our sound followed a
path determined by the blending of our different
experiences as DJs: Luigi with electro 80' and
Acid House hints, Omar, instead, more techno
Detroit and German minimal and only recently back
to more Prog-house stuff. Currently, also after
seeing the last market trends, we did not do
anything else than modernize, from a sound and
product quality viewpoint, what was already part
of our musical history and experience: therefore
our production at times touches aspects of tribal,
tech house, electroclash and breakbeat Finger
Lickin's style, that we love particularly. In the
past we were strongly attracted by the Eighties
dark sound, in all its expressions: Cure, Depeche
mode, Bauhaus, 4AD Artists, Kraftwerk,
Einesturzende de Nuebaten, a real passion for
committed music. All of this of course within
those musical expressions that characterised all
last decade trail: dance, dub, trip hop and
electronics in general. In addition to our passion
for music we care also of anything around it; we
like minimal design, Bauhaus style, and any
graphic art that looks forward (Autechre Warp rec
style). Other things that influenced us came from
life events we have experienced and the need to
express them and express ourselves at the same
time. We always looked for new sounds of course,
and for new good labels that could exploit our
true potential, hoping that major record companies
were to be managed, one day, by competent people
in the musical field, even musicians themselves,
that could appreciate new proposals and not only
the law of big numbers, that, as we experienced,
does not pay off and hinders whoever tries to
follow different routes. But we know already that
this is a utopia and that a person that was
managing Toyota yesterday for Example, can be the
chief of a major record company today. Uhmm....we
have a big doubt.... As reality proved that music
is just a "Melting pot" of genres that made its
history, we believe that in the future these mixes
will become even more extreme, especially in the
underground world, where partially itÆs already
happening. Currently Omar is working as a DJ set
in some large Italian realities, even though
unfortunately only few, like: Insomnia, Pisa
(historical place); Utopia, Genoa; Ecu, Rimini;
Central Park, Florence; Fitzcarraldo, Arezzo;
Cocorico, Riccione without taking into account the
numberless experiences abroad that you will find
in the personal curriculum. But we also work
together, Live or DJ set, as we believe that
either situation is exciting even though
different. In regards to our taste, in addition to
the clubs indicated, we have also: Tenax in
Florence, Le Foliies de Pigalle Doc show in
Bologna and events in social centres like: Link,
Bologna; Maffia, Reggio Emilia; Brancaleone, Roma
We can say our target public is a very demanding
and open to surprises type of public: middle age,
without mental taboos and free. We can see that,
particularly from the people coming to our shows
that we are observing with our own eyes... Since a
long time we are trying to enter a circle that
could significantly do business with our electro
characteristics. Difficulties, necessities and
life happenings change quickly and abruptly
creating continuous and different moods that
cannot be individuated in each piece and that, at
times, bring also to mental pauses.
