Little Big Recordings ::: I ❤ ZH ™ . electronic music out of switzerland

Swiss born electronic musician Radovan Scasascia, who lives and works in London and Zürich trained as an architect at the ETH in Zürich. He has worked for three years as both free lance and employed architect, before concentrating fully on electronic music, which he has been making since 1993.

He founded Dreck-Records with his long-time collaborator Laurent Benner in 2000 and has been releaseing music under the names Secondo and AM/PM.

Departing from existing popular songs of various origins, Secondo cuts his source material carefully into minute fragments in order to compose entirely new pieces of music - somehow maintainig the atmosphere of the original, but shifting away from it structurally and rhythmically.

Until now a cross-section of genres have been visited: hip hop, disco, chanson and pop music.

First contact with music. Daniel Rizzo takes drum lessions as young kid, by the age of 16, he gets a more intense approach to percussive instruments such as conga, djembe, bongo and doumbek.

Some years later, at 21, he moves to e-bass. Dani plays bass & electronics in 4-men band (Trip Hop, Funk, Blues, Psychodelic Jazz).

For the last 2 years, and he’s got his own electronic solo project without using a computer, entirelly based on electronic hardware as Korg Electribe, Virus, MPC1000 and others, melting the rhythm, bass and instrumentals his way to soulful minimalist songwriter house.

His mates at the studio are Clos-o-Mat (Bitboutique/Zurich), Digitaline (Lausanne), Markese (Trapez/Cologne) and Uese (Shitkatapult/Berlin).

Das neue Label von Markese (Clos-O-Mat), der schon auf Bitboutique und unlängst auf Trapez ltd. (’A Bit Off’) veröffentlichte, nennt sich Little Big und widmet sich der Little Big City Zürich. Der Newcomer Ohrstrom deckt mit seinem Label-Einstand ‘Sidtenbrecher’/'Lui G Plays Hard’ von Minimal House bis D&B ab. Markese lieferte einen verspielten Klarsicht-Remix des Titeltracks ab, Cosili einen krachenden Club-RX.
