With a back catalogue chock full of hand-crafted house music, unique downtempo beats and all moods in between, the label has brought pride back to Italy&#8217;s musical landscape, not in the least part from the likes of <strong>Fabio Della Torre<\/strong>, <strong>Minimono, Ennio Colaci<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>So, with that, we continue our series highlighting our favourite labels from around the world. Today, we thought we would catch up with Bosconi bosses, Minimono. Also, at the end of this article you will find an exclusive full length mix from the boys themselves, giving an idea of how Bosconi is meant to be heard\u2026in the mix!<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"color: #e40045;\">&#8220;The hardest part was [actually] Italian bureaucracy&#8221;<\/span><\/em><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What does Bosconi add to the dance music spectrum?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell it\u2019s difficult to say it from inside, but I think it adds something because it\u2019s pretty representative of a part of Tuscany where I come from. Slowly the label has featured many Italian artists.. as well as international ones, but we could say it gives an overview of a part of Italian movement in electronic music. And this has always been the decision to found and run the label out of Italy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did you first think about launching Bosconi?<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter some experience releasing music as Minimono on labels such as Telegraph, Ethique, Olso.. we though it would be interesting to create a platform for us and for our friends where we could give our vision of club and dance music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When did Bosconi actually launch?<\/strong><br \/>\nIt was launched in October 2008 with bosco001. This was a join venture by Minimono and Bruno Pronsato.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/61378113&amp;color=ff5500&amp;auto_play=false&amp;hide_related=false&amp;show_comments=true&amp;show_user=true&amp;show_reposts=false\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Story behind the Bosconi name?<\/strong><br \/>\nBosconi is actually the name of this area where the Label HQ is located. There is a street \u201cVia dei Bosconi\u201d surrounding this part of the countryside close to Florence full of Olive trees.. from which the sublabel \u201cBosconi Extra virgin\u201d takes the name too.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the most difficult aspect of launching the label?<\/strong><br \/>\nLaunching the label itself wasn\u2019t that hard, we had the music and that\u2019s the most important thing.<br \/>\nI decided to found the label in Italy so the hardest part was actually Italian bureaucracy, which is not really developed yet for these kind of activities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What qualities do you look for in a Bosconi artist?<\/strong><br \/>\nOriginality and freshness.. even though sometimes the production can be a bit rough it is the ideas at the base that is the most important to us. We can always help out for the final realization.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_37485\" style=\"width: 638px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-37485\" class=\"size-full wp-image-37485\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Minimono_-strings_ByChiaraSinatti.jpg\" alt=\"Minimono\" width=\"628\" height=\"415\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Minimono_-strings_ByChiaraSinatti.jpg 628w, https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/Minimono_-strings_ByChiaraSinatti-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-37485\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Minimono<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe 3 seminal moments in Bosconi existence?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell of course when the first release came out, also when we released the 5 years compilation \u201cBosconi Stallions\u201d 4&#215;12\u201d Box, and finally the Bosconi night at Panorama Bar was one of the first full showcases from an Italian label ever done at Panorama.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2014-01-30-a-las-18.29.42.jpg\" alt=\"label-showcase-bosconi-1\" width=\"607\" height=\"353\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-37567\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2014-01-30-a-las-18.29.42.jpg 607w, https:\/\/www.deephouseamsterdam.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Captura-de-pantalla-2014-01-30-a-las-18.29.42-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 607px) 100vw, 607px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Most disappointing moment in Bosconi existence?<\/strong><br \/>\nEverytime a record doesn&#8217;t sell as expected is a bad moment. The market has it\u2019s own dynamics, but sometime it\u2019s more disappointing for the artists who has expectations of his music<\/p>\n<p><strong>Describe Bosconi album artwork?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe artwork texture represent strings from the modern science theory.. Theory of the strings indeed!<br \/>\nThat would only mean we used the strings in an quite unconventional way.. musically speaking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best Bosconi showcase?<\/strong><br \/>\nBest Bosconi showase I already mentioned was the one at the Panorama bar, I also always enjoy very much the Bosconi nights we do at Tenax in Florence, which is the club where I come from and where I\u2019ve always been playing since I was a kid.. so it creates quite a special atmosphere!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Worst Bosconi showcase?<\/strong><br \/>\nTo be honest I don\u2019t have memory of a bad Bosconi showcase &#8211; seriously! Even when there\u2019s not many people there is a super nice energy between the artists and the people, and as long as they enjoy the music it\u2019s always good!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dream Bosconi artist?<\/strong><br \/>\nWell, I would love to release some music from Daniel Bell which is one of my favourite DJs and producers ever, but it\u2019s a dream and will remain so \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most important business\/music app\/program\/software?<\/strong><br \/>\nHard to say which is the most important business app program&#8230; I\u2019m not an expert in apps and programs! I think Vinyl is the most important thing in music, the rest is pretty temporary..<\/p>\n<p>Longest Day(s) ever worked?<br \/>\nI\u2019m actually not the guys who can stay awake for days.. but this one time I played in Animal Social Club in Rome on a Saturday evening, then I went straight to Concrete Paris to play on Sunday morning. I liked the party so much that I stayed until the closing and played b2b at the end on Monday morning with Jan Krueger. Then not happy we went to the Rex club anniversary&#8230; but that was just fun, like the rest \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p><strong>Upcoming projects?<\/strong><br \/>\nWe have two various artists called \u201cThe Sweetest\u201d series with 11 unsigned artists planned for the end november on Bosconi Extra Virgin.
