The boundary-pushing Berlin label Items & Things, originally founded in 2006 by Run Stop Restore (aka Marc Houle, Magda, and Troy Pierce), continues its exploration of off-kilter dance music with the release of Tell Me Quietly, a genre-bending EP by rising Italian producer Danny Benedettini.
Created as a platform for the experimental, the weird, and the beautiful, Items & Things has long been a home for artists who stretch the definition of club music. The label has featured talents like Seth Troxler, Jimmy Edgar, Click Box, Alexi Delano, Kasper, and Madato, among others.
Now, Danny Benedettini steps up with a four-track vinyl and digital release that merges retro influence with futuristic finesse.
TRACKLIST:
A1: Disco Hook
A playful, off-axis dive into deconstructed disco. Built around a quirky three-note bass loop, “Disco Hook” fuses neon synth melodies with a tight house beat for a groove that’s both hypnotic and danceable.
A2: Nephastum
With sultry chopped vocals and lush Rhodes keys, “Nephastum” goes deeper into disco terrain. It's a slow-burner that floats between classic and contemporary, evoking smoky afterhours vibes with a modern edge.
B1: Tia’s Home
Textured, layered, and emotional—this track pulls you in with its subtle shifts and melancholic undertones. A heady mood piece built for late-night journeys.
B2: Fodie Joster
A gritty yet groovy closer, “Fodie Joster” is all swagger and bounce, laced with techy undertones and playful rhythmic turns.
Digital Bonus – Breakdown
Exclusively for the digital release, “Breakdown” showcases Benedettini’s flair for arrangement and dynamic sound design—a spacious, slow-burning groove with plenty of attitude.
Benedettini’s deep respect for old-school production sensibilities shines throughout the EP, yet his sound is distinctly forward-thinking. Tell Me Quietly is a confident, genre-straddling statement that reinforces Items & Things' role as a curator of cutting-edge, unconventional dance music.
For those who crave the unexpected, this release offers a sonic playground where house, disco, and techno co-exist—and evolve.
