Fare
Soldi (meaning “making money” in Italian) was born
in 1999 when two Italian producers named Santana Pasta
and Luka Carnifull started melting different
musical influences including disco, house, hip hop and indie rock.
The result was what they call “Frico Disco”.
The first Fare Soldi album was released in Italy on Riotmaker
Records in 2002. A few years later, after delivering their unique
sound and very tongue-in-cheek DJ sets throughout Italy the duo
released the critically acclaimed “One nation under a grande
cassa” on Riotmaker Records. At that point Riotmaker Records
had also become an imprint on Warner Music. More releases including
the “Mago Ninja Robot” Ep and their third album entitled
“Sappiamo dove abiti” (Whe know where you live)were
soon to follow.
Fast forward to 2010 – with a number of releases under their
belt including the most recent: “Houstria Ep”
and VIGORILLA, and strong support from MTV (Italy/EU) and a slew of big name
artists like Erol Alkan, Aeroplane, Metro Area and Bloody
Beetroots showing support, the golden duo (they perform
in signature gold jackets) are poised for world domination.
Currently, Fare Soldi’s remix of “Babylon”
for Congorock and their remix of Duck
Sauce's "Barbra Streisand "are
causing an international sensation at clubs and festivals from
California to Ibiza. Their new ep is out now: CASOTTO,
while remixes and a new tracks are also in the works for next year.
Fare Soldi has performed alongside James Murphy, Calvin
Harris, Mr. Oizo, Sebastian, Kavinsky and Crookers. The
list continues to grow, so lookout for Fare Soldi they’ll
soon be coming to a club, festival or Italian restaurant near
you!

Triple
J Radio: These guys are uber-talented and speak awesome
broken English. Remember the name kids, for these guys will be
gracing our shores on festival bills in no time at all.
Too Many Sebastians: Mentalist Italian-Disco-House
Duo Fare Soldi had a Coffee a few weeks ago, the results are like
when Popeye has Spinach except instead of beating some fat guy
with a beard they make remixes.
Deathelectro: his here is the sequel to The Italian
Stallion, and yep, Sylvester Stallone is starring!
Discobelle: The Fare Soldi boys remixes fellow
Italian Congorock and his absolute monster of a track, "Babylon"
which here receives a summery update that has us dancing around
the office.
Soundcraves: Check out this Italian crew that's
taken the world by storm this year. fast paced dance electro.
This song seems to be everywhere.
Discodemons: This tune immediately got stuck
on repeat after the first listen, it's just too surprising, tropical
and cheerful to ignore.
S'Il Vous Plait: The FS sound is all about big-time
bouncy, summer-fun vibes, filtered through silky smooth layers
of house rhythms topped up with distorted synths to add a funky
grit, with a traditional on-the-money disco beat keeping your
toes/fingers/heads nodding/tapping/twitching. I live for this
shit!
Fare Soldi is the most fun you can have without being naked.
Stoneyroads: with tons of props from the nu-disco
community it's surprising to see fewer accolades then deserving
of the italian duo. Injecting flavour and funk into every production
will hopefully see a successful career in making peoples lives
oh that much more sweeter.
Tracasseur: the guys seem as hard to pinpoint
as their music, evidenced by the philosophical question "to
pump or not to pump"
Audioporn: atomic 'n superpumpin!
Playmakers playground: It's always a party when
the Fare Soldi are at the controls. Yes they deliver, bring you
the instant slab-bass funk, maximized for full dancefloor potential!
Asian Dan: It is the perfect blend of italo disco,
acid, and house.
Big Stereo: These guys are here to stay.
Trash Menagerie: Fare Soldi are from Italy and
they are among the few that have survived the storm that Crookers,
Bloody Beetroots and the likes have unleashed. Fare Soldi bravely
still hold the flag of italo disco high.
