TUTTI PAZZI!!!

About Me

Blatta & Inesha are among the hottest name of the Italian new dance scene: that thing for which journalists and a bunch of odd people say about 'F*%$! This is the real sound of underground!' in other words things that doesn't mean anything but sound great.Actually they are just two good kids who love feeling the groove which plays in your belly. They love acid and strong sounds without forgetting about the boogaloo which shakes inside their head.They have several mix in their discography: the last one added in January 2008 is titled I was a punk before you were a punk (Mantra Vibes). Just one year form now their compilation Mad in Sicily (Mantra Vibes) had been released.They play house, dirty and suspicious, between straight and distorted stuff and they do any reasonable thing that an healthy mind teenagers can do: pump up the volume and don't let the parents come in.It means a lot of distorted melodies and sometimes ill in the middle of tuneless guitars, techno glow , rasps and Sicilian Folk. They have knowledge of the World, having played at Womb in Tokyo as Fabric in London keeping absolutely their headquarters in Catania.One of them has been several times DMC Italian Champion and once he even got to the World DMC Final in New York. But this is history when he was teenager and he thought that hip hop would have saved the World. The other one feels shame to have been a guitar player. Basically it's been quite a few years he's been absorbed by sequencers and different machines. He has never believed that Hip Hop would have saved the World. In 2007 on Hell Yeah! they released Do It at the Peepshow, with German Wiesel, and The Bell, under the Magmatic alias , along with Daniele Tignino and Ottavio Leo. For the english Fat!Records they remixed Merka (Something Like this B&I rmx) and Unique 3 (I'm The - B&I Nervous Breakdown rmx). They are resident of two nights, both in Catania: Bass Boutique at Zo and Mad In Sicily at Mercati Generali, two of the best and respected clubs in Italy. At the end of december their mix was selected by the best of the year on Annie Nightingale Show on BBC Radio 1, national and number one radio in the UK. It's enough. ************************************************************ ***********************************************Blatta & Inesha sono fra i nomi di punta della nuova scena dance italiana: quella roba per cui i giornalisti, qualche dj e un pugno di strippati dicono: “Cazzo. Questo è il vero suono della scena underground!!!”, cioè cose che non significano un cazzo ma suonano bene. In realtà sono solo due bravi ragazzi che amano sentire il groove che ti suona nella pancia. Che amano i suoni acidi e forti ma senza dimenticarsi di quel boogaloo che si agita dentro la testa. Hanno un po’ di mix al loro attivo: l’ultimo si è aggiunto a Gennaio 2008 e s’intitola il I was a punk before you were a punk (Mantra Vibes). Esattamente un anno prima era uscita la loro cd-compilation Mad in Sicily (Mantra Vibes). Suonano house, sporca e tendenziosa, tra roba dritta e roba spezzata e fanno l’unica cosa sensata per un qualunque adolescente sano di mente: alzare il volume e non fare entrare i genitori. Significa un sacco di melodie storte e a volte malate in mezzo a chitarre scordate, bagliori techno, raspe e folklore siciliano. Possiedono una discreta conoscenza del globo, avendo suonato al Womb di Tokyo come al Fabric di Londra, ma mantenendo assolutamente a Catania la loro base. Uno di loro è stato un paio di volte campione italiano DMC e una volta arrivò persino in finale al World DMC Final a New York. Ma è storia di tanti anni fa, quando era un teenager e pensava che l’hip hop avrebbe salvato il mondo. L’altro di loro si vergogna di essere stato un chitarrista. Fondamentalmente è da un bel po’ di anni completamente assorbito da sequencer e macchine varie. Egli non ha mai creduto che l’hip hop avrebbe salvato il mondo. Nel 2007 su Hell Yeah! hanno pubblicato Do It at the Peepshow, insieme al tedesco Wiesel, e The Bell, sotto lo pseudonimo Magmatic, insieme a Daniele Tignino e Ottavio Leo. Per l’inglese Fat!Records hanno remixato Merka (Something Like this B&I rmx) e Unique 3 (I’m The - B&I Nervous Breakdown rmx). Sono dj resident di due one night, entrambe a Catania: Bass Boutique da Zo, Mad In Sicily ai Mercati Generali, due fra i club italiani più noti e rispettati. A fine Dicembre, sono finiti fra i tre migliori mixati dell’anno dell’Annie Nightingale Show su BBC Radio 1, la radio nazionale inglese. È sufficiente.
