Matteo Milleri and Carmine Conte don’t need much of an introduction. Since arriving on the scene as Tale Of Us in 2010, the Italian duo have steadily cultivated a global reputation for their idiosyncratic and difficult to pigeonhole dance-music.
From early outings in muted melodies on Visionquest, to their dance-floor aimed remixes of Tiefschwarz and Thugfucker, and co-running their Life and Death label with DJ Tennis, the pair have consciously etched out their own niche within the dance-music spectrum.
The last twelve months have seen the pair continue to push and evolve their sound, collaborating with indie band The/Das and working on their debut album (originally tipped for release last year, but now pushed back to this autumn at the earliest).
What’s more, April sees the release of the duo’s first commercial mix: a two-disc genre spanning affair for the British club institution Renaissance. Taking in everything from Gold Panda to Robert Hood, the mix encapsulates the enigmatic and rule-breaking approach the Italian pair have built their musical careers on.
Tale of Us, are currently using Berlin as a base for their visionary musical quest. Combining house and techno with influences from pop, nu-disco or even rock music, they managed to create a unique sound, the rest is history.
