Italians Do It Better

Italians Do It Better is an electronic music collective based in West Hollywood, California. Initially co-founded by Johnny Jewel and Mike Simonetti, the label has been operated solely by Johnny Jewel since Simonetti's departure in 2013.
Known for their unique blend of electronic and synth-pop sounds, Italians Do It Better has become a prominent force in the music industry. With a focus on quality production and innovative artists, the label has gained a loyal following worldwide.
From their early releases to their current roster of talented musicians, Italians Do It Better continues to push boundaries and redefine what it means to create captivating electronic music. Explore their catalog and discover the cutting-edge sounds that have made them one of the most respected labels in the industry.

The name “Sally Shapiro” refers to both the Swedish duo, consisting of composer & producer Johan Agebjörn and an anonymous singer, as well as the pseudonym of the singer herself. Both live in Lund, Sweden.

Little is known about the person behind Sally Shapiro, whose real name is something else. So far she has been too shy to record a music video or to perform live. When once asked what she does other than singing, she replied: "I dance all nights long on small disco clubs and walk in the moonshine thinking about my love affairs."

Staff Albums of the Year 2022

Working in deep seclusion over the last half decade, they recorded an incredible collection of material out this fall via Italians Do It Better. A gorgeous bouquet of pure electronic bliss mixed by Johan Agebjörn and Johnny Jewel.
