Bored with both rock and roll and his own name, ex-drummer Steven Ford released his debut 12″, a techno single titled Read Me/Silver City, under the pseudonym Bruno Pronsato in 2003. The response to that release, though overwhelmingly positive, was dwarfed by the critical praise heaped on its follow-ups: 2007’s Why Can’t We Be Like Us, which effectively established Pronsato as one of the most innovative and vital producers in dance music, and 2009’s groundbreaking The Make Up The Break Up, which further cemented his credentials as a visionary. NDF combines Pronsato’s talents with those of Sergio Giorgini – one half of Benoit & Sergio, whose rose-lensed debut EP, What I’ve Lost, was released through Pronsato’s thesongsays label. On their auspicious first outing, Since We Last Met, NDF offer music almost perfectly summed up in their own words as “dance music twilit by…melancholy.”
