We get Straight to the Point with Alessio Natalizia from Walls . . .

WALLS are a band from London made up of members Sam Willis and Alessio Natalizia . Walls natural combination of guitar play and haunting vocals together with emotive synth lines, sample manipulation and vintage drum machine magic is a match made in heaven, gaining them support from the likes of James Holden, Michael Mayer, Four Tet and Caribou.

WALLS tightrope the fine line between the headphones and the club to remarkable lengths, Their lack of concern for boundaries is reflected in their DJ sets, taking in the diverse array of genres and styles that inform their original productions with an eye directly on the dancefloor.
