Like most people, DJs and producers have specific songs tied to events throughout their lives. In Crate Expectations, we extract a playlist from their memories to tell their story. This week's subject: Nicola Daniele and Cesare Marocco of NiCe7.THUMP: What's the first song you ever loved?
Cesare: When I was really young, I used to steal records from my sister's collection. I will never forget when I first heard the Depeche Mode song "Never Let Me Down Again." I think was the first song I really loved… and I still love.
