“A steady hip hop beat drives the expressive bass which combined, allows the interplay between the keyboards, guitars, the beautiful trumpet melody & sound effects. Amalfi is a track with a real sense of purpose that delivers a full bodied, well rounded performance. If you close your eyes and let the music take you along with it on it’s journey, who knows where you may travel to?”

Driving along the winding coastal road, watching the setting sun over the Mediterranean Sea and feeling the warm breeze in your hair. This is what "Amalfi" feels like. The warm lounge-like sound combined with a strong hiphop beat, the interaction of the acoustic and electric guitar and the iconic trumpet melody make this track unique and transport you mentally for three minutes into a mini summer holiday by the sea.

(Video)

“Wow! This is a dark, powerful statement that hits you right between the eyes. “Nervous” by Dole is nothing short of brilliant. An all too familiar and tragic story that for many will open wounds that never truly heal. It’s a story that needs to be told in an uncompromising, in your face manner that will hopefully drive the message home. Dole delivers, “Nervous” is a ‘tour de force.’ Bravo! ”

Tibe D’oro – X+x
(Spotify)

“The slightly detuned piano sections give this track a real sense of nostalgia, a sense of yearning. One of those songs where the main theme will stick in your mind for days. A gentle tug at your heart strings, a trip down memory lane, haunting memories of a place & people you loved. The tune successfully invokes all of these feelings & more.”

-Nagamag.com

Tibe D’Oro is the place of desire the Viennese Duo, Fabian Sialia and Leonard Cuscoleca, creates the sound for. In their music and composition process, they try to create a world as they feel it could or ought to be. The compositions draw from recordings from an artist mansion in North London that became a shrine for the local music scene. Singer-songwriter Amy Yon (vocals), and trumpeters Ludwig Ascher (Drahthaus) and Johnny Woodham (Alfa Mist), play with utmost freedom to a singular tempo and tune. A treasure trove of recordings allowing endless assembling emerged. The result are the three pieces X+X=1 closely interlinked through repeating and transforming elements.

Together with the work of the Vienesse Painter, Philip Mueller (Artwork, Vision of Tobe D’Oro), the compositions merge with the painter's image world depicting scenes from Tibe D’Oro.

MAXI MERAKI – Way Too Long
(Spotify)

“"MAXI MERAKI" strikes with a dancing bomb. Are you into House? Be prepared to dive in a mix of wave vibrations, melodic atmosphere and strong emotions. The Belgian artist has given emphasis in his percussion patterns, edited vocals and sound effects, creating an addictive vibe.”

-Nagamag.com

Funky feels from Antwerp’s Maxi Meraki with his first release ‘Way Too Long’ on Dutch House label artwrk. Targeting the Balearic hot spots he’s become accustomed to with deep, focused house composing suave vocals and pianos striding about the place with a splash of salsa to them. While there’s plenty of groove as standard from the Roger Sanchez/Mark Knight-supported spinner - springy bass, a warm blast of synths on a breakdown of calming motivation - Meraki builds an aura and gives the track time and space to explore itself, as per the knowledge-of-self lyrics.

Antwerp resident Maxi Meraki grew up with music and started to play records at high end clubs in Belgium and Amsterdam. A first memorable highlight was noted during the summer of 2018 with a 4 hour set at the Pacha Destino in Ibiza.

Forward to the middle of 2019, the summer season residencies at the W hotel in Barcelona and Izakaya Ibiza set the tone for a bright summer. A sunny season filled with extra gigs: Soho House (Barcelona), Bagatelle (Ibiza), Plage Casanis (Marbella) and the absolute highlight playing on Ibiza’s most popular boat party “Pirata’s Ibiza”, warming up for Circoloco’s DC10 resident DJ Nathan Barato.
