United by a deep passion for house music, but especially by the desire to use the dance floor as an experimental sound (other than entertainment), working together since 1995, moving with confidence from classic music, to soul, blues and Latin jazz.
For them, the 'club culture' must rediscover (and increase) the real 'black' essence of house, approaching the roots of this music, that are strictly connected to the afro American sound.
Jazz and soul as a 'spiritual' experience, characterize the 'scripture' of their deejay set and productions, that are able to cross the most vivid language of contemporary electronic music.
It's as if Pasta Boys offer to the listener the chance , unique, to live a "journey through sound", that from the origins of sentimental and rare sounds (Chicago obviously), spaces until reaching minimal versants of techno (Detroit, but also all the Teutonic scene), the passion of melody together with the electronic and technologic side.
All this sound richness, this exuberant desire of 'zeroing' the confines, always more weak, in style, is the 'figure' that characterizes their disco graphic works.
The album 'Daylight in the Invisible World' – published by Irma Records a few years ago – is the result of 'work in progress that has poured, in their studio in Bologna, experience, love and quotations assimilated in years of deejay style.
With the active collaboration of Osunlade (who wanted them on his label Yoruba) and the singer Wunmi, the disco is a tale, directly from the authentic 'black' culture side.
Pasta Boys arrived at the cd after an intensive producing activity and numerous remixes realized with the collaboration of the most famous names.
It would be enough to mention the rework 'I Love to Love' by Jody Watley with Roy Ayers, published by the prestigious MAW Records, or the various works on Strictly Rhythm and NRK or the super success 'Soul Heaven, realized with Bini&Martini, with the name of The Goodfellas.
Or, just to arrive to our times, the remix for Stylophonic, Terry Brooks and the piece Joga Bola for the Nike campaign, an insertion of two traces in the mix of Fabric by an absolute master like Carl Craig (who had appreciated the Italian trio for a long time) or the recent ep Tribute that has received various radio plays and has been taken in triumph to BBC1 by a guru like Pete Tong.
If the disco graphic side has kept them very busy – also for the restyling of their label Manocalda – the clubbing side is not less : even from historical residences at Kinki of Bologna and Folies De Pigalle (both for over 10 years!), Pasta Boys continue seducing with their very personal sound mix the most important Italian situation, from Miss America/Maffia to Kama Kama, from Mazoom to Fluid, through Area City, Red Zone, Echoes, Nafura, Guendalina and many more.
It's such an important period for the trio that even GQ has decided to dedicate to them a photographic service – realized by Fabrizio Ferri – with the most famous producers and Italian deejays.
Pasta Boys have entered the elite and are known also abroad: their international dates, as a trio or alone, are popular and what started as a strictly Italian project, is increasingly becoming a world wide phenomenon.
