D.B.Y. (DOG BLESS YOU)
D.B.Y. (Dog Bless You) is Samuel Ricciuti’s solo project. The founder of Chez.Kito.Kat Records and member of Komparce likes to describe his solo project as uncategorized. This is certainly due to the blending of influences found on his productions, going from ambient to hip hop, crossing through post punk, breakbeat, techno, jazz and other electronic and analog experimentations. This makes each creation a work of art of its own.
Since 2005, Samuel Ricciuti published several splits, EPs, and remixes on various French, Luxemburger and Canadian Record Labels (Wondernoise, Schnurstrax,Soundzfromnowhere, Chat Blanc, Specific). His work also consists of sound illustration projects (videos, pictures, choreographies, art installations, etc.) notably in collaboration with Daniel Buren at MUDAM Luxembourg Museum, for “Nuits Blanches” in Metz in 2010.
In 2019, his third album “La science du langage” was released on Specific Recordings and Chez.Kito.Kat Records and was well received by specialized press as seen in The Wire magazine.
DISCOGRAPHY
REVIEWS
Dog Bless You featuring Mr Bios are Samuel Ricciuti and Christophe Biache – both founding members of the Canada/France based Chez.Kito.Kat label. For the last 12 years they have also gone out as Komparce, a duo oscillating between downtempo and more techno oriented music. – Wire
Grand bien lui a pris de donner un successeur à Ghosts & Friends, et pourtant, la démarche était tout sauf anecdotique. Comment se renouveler après un disque aussi essentiel, digérant aussi bien abstract hip-hop, IDM et trip-hop ? En conservant les mêmes influences, entremêlées singulièrement, tout simplement. – Indie Rock Mag
Ses nappes de claviers atmosphériques donnent un sens à ses bidouillages électroniques et ses samples diaboliques. Comme si Brian Eno mettait ses expérimentations analogiques au service d’un décor breakbeat et hip hop. Tout ça est assez étrange et suffisamment nouveau pour donner un sens au mot curiosité. – Rock made in France
Samuel Ricciuti a eu raison de ne pas se précipiter pour donner à La science du langage de la consistance et de la profondeur. Parce que c’est bien ce qui caractérise ce disque aux intonations warpiennes tout en allant bien au-delà. – Liability
