The Dining Rooms are Stefano Ghittoni and Cesare Malfatti. Stefano Ghittoni, resident DJ at Magazzini Generali in Milan, spurred the initial creative process behind the duo’s musical direction in 1998. Cesare Malfatti, on the other hand, is a founding member of the post-blues project ‘La Crus’. Both Stefano and Cesare come from the punk/new wave scene and they have played in several underground bands in earlier years.
In early 1999, through the electronica label Milano2000, The Dining Rooms release their debut full-length album: “Subterranean Modern Volume 1”. The record is characterized by hip hop/funk-inspired rhythms flowing alongside bluesy guitar textures and melancholic, minor-key atmospheric elements.
As a side project to this record, Stefano Ghittoni works with videomaker Maria Arena on the ‘Ambient Blues Caffe’’ project, an ambient sonorization project for turntables and video performed all over Italy and Europe.
The second Dining Rooms album, “Numero Deux”, which features a multimedia section with videos by Maria Arena (one of which is dedicated to J.L.Godard), is released in January 2001 and picks up the stylistic streak of “Subterranean Modern Volume 1”, enriching its sound with the addition of jazz atmospheres and introducing vocal parts performed by the minimal-soul duo “Sepiatone” (Hugo Race and Marta Collica). In summer 2001 “Numero Deux” was also released in the US, Japan and Germany through Guidance Recordings.
