Together with Skin from [[Skunk Anansie]] he wrote the song "The Last 1con" which was spreaded on the web.


== Solo Work ==
The commitment as an artistic producer evolves in a natural way: EMI, Subsonica’s record label, ask in 2012 to think of a song for Jessica Brando (a young performer also from the label EMI looking for a more mature artistic definition): the song "Sei", with music, arrangements and artistic production of David Dileo (and lyrics from Brando), is released on iTunes under the alias "b + B" and gets a good response from the public and critics.
With the spirit of a "musical cartographer" Dileo's latest solo works, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrHM0GMG6Yo “Post Piano Sessions”], released in 2022 received critical acclaim for its innovative twist on electronic music. The six instrumental EPs explore the many variations and expressive possibilities of the piano, featuring pieces that range from the avant-guard to post rock. The 6 individual EPs explore through piano and electronics; the genres of post rock, 20th century composition (or decomposition thereof), a Schönbergian approach to music, followed by an electronic almost minimal techno and finally a reference to the ambient 70's and the world of Harold Budd and Brian Eno.


All tracks however showcase Dileo's unique compositional style.
=== Producer ===
In 2012 he also started working on an artistic production with [[Erica Mou]], a young artist from the label SUGAR. He wrote two songs for her and takes care of the sound of the album, which will be released in 2013.

He has also collaborated with the likes of Depeche Mode and Placebo and has crossed over into other musical genres such as drum and bass, collaborating with Atmos T.
