Excuse Me is the cheeky name of one of the more talented and brave clubnights in italy, and it is giving name to the DJ team too.

Kicked off in Feburary 2006 the clubnight immediately reached large visibility through an appealing and very own vibe, built up on a crossover where electro clashes with indierock, which had an excellent impact on the music industry players at the time.
In the most recent sets, the DJ’s got more unpredictable, still loving the pounding beats they tend to match them with re-edited classic anthems which results in an exciting show.

Excuse Me are proud to remark they have booked friends The Bloody Beetroots in Venice, for what was their first live gig (Spring 2007)

Much interest soon came from abroad , handful of international guest DJs sharing same decks are proof (Adam Freeland, Jeff Automatic, Guns and Bombs, Chris Chinchilla/Art Brut, Danny Da Silva and a bizarre Chris Gentry/Menswear too) and many nice words keep coming in the mailbox from labels such as Kitsuné and or influential DJ and promoter i.e. Bobby M (Ministry of Sound) and many more.

Excuse Me DJ’s are much demanded either for their electro take and for their extensive indie experience, you shouldn’t be surprised to hear an array of 80’s underground dance hits or punk anthems during their sessions, or more likely some obsure re-edit of such.

Myspace’s been a relevant boost for Excuse Me profile, showing 13,000+ friends and thoudands downloads from their occasional DJ mixes.

As of 2008, Excuse Me is supported by WeSC, Swear shoes and YourEyesLie.

This summer has been time for some Euro DJ dates that brought the Excuse Me feel in England, Spain and Germany.
