Piatto
The name "Piatto" stands for a combo, that is the brothers Davide and Alessandro.
Since his childhood Alessandro follows his brother's group called N.O.I.A.
N.O.I.A is probably the first Italian electronic musical group founded in 1978 by Davide Piatto and Bruno Magnani. In those years Alessandro is acquainted with Electronic Music and New Wave starting playing drum machine and synths.
At the beginning of the 80's he produces demo tapes and starts to play live performances with various groups. In 1986 he plays dj sets with a punk style then, later on, they will become more techno.
For what about Davide: "At the beginning of the 80's Davide Piatto makes in his small bedroom some tracks that the world won't forget: they were few minutes of repeatitive beat music recorded at a very low budget that became records called Klein and MBO produced by Mario Boncaldo and Tony Carrasco.
House music found its origin, a new style of music was born, a new way of playing pop music. He couldn't imagine that his homely productions could then be considered precious cult music by DJ Hell, Knuckles and many others." Taken from "Last night a dj saved my Life" Bill Brewster, Frank Broughton - Arcana Edizioni (2005)"
At the beginning of the 90's Davide and Alessandro have started to collaborate together in studio and have begun to publish CDs and records. They have produced the N.O.I.A. "Unreleased Classics"for the US label Ersatz Audio and started to collaborate with G.D. Luxxe for Raymond Barry producer team. Their tracks were included in Pete Tong's playlist and Ivan Smugghe's compilation.
In 2005 they have started to collaborate with Dandi & Ugo, and they found together the record label "Italo Business"
In 2006 they collaborated with Franz & Shape and released "The man who paid before" by Relish.
In 2008 together whit Italo Businnes they added N.O.I.A. Records where they included a mixture of Indie Dance, New Wave and Techno Minimal music.
