Luca Musto – Restless (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, House, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“An exuberant sound design with soulful harmonics. Elegant vibes that push you into a restless groove with its organic housey vibes.”

-Nagamag.com

Put on your dancing shoes because there’s a new label in town. Following the release of “Call Me On The Regular” on Laut & Luise earlier this year, Luca Musto returns with a brand-new EP to kick off his own label: Rare Affair.

The “Restless EP” inaugurates Rare Affair, which will be a platform providing the possibility for more free and frequent releases in the future. “[RA001]” is a rhythmic reminder to carry on in trying times.

With two tracks that contrast each other in tempo and mood, “Restless” provides euphonious evidence that even a pandemic can’t stop the creative mind. Whether you prefer to move slowly like the groove in Priscillo or quickly as in Restless, the EP encourages everyone to keep on going.

Luca Musto is an enthusiast of soul, jazz and blues, his electronic music/’slow-house’ oozes of grooving beats and hypno1zing melodies. With his Italian roots reflec1ng rhythms through cracks in a musical mirror, these cozy, grounded atmospheres will set you up to lay back, relax, and dance: this paradox perhaps best encapsulates the complexity of Musto’s grooves.

Whilst some might know him for years of various musical projects all around the backyards and garages of southern Germany, Luca’s vision of deeply pulsa1ng ambience con1nues to evolve with his beats. Taking his 1me with his first releases, his wide range of downliMing electronic vibes have been showcased in a number of European and American shows so far. One can surely say that this journey has only just begun.

Pascal Junior – So Kind (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, House, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Pascal Junior with his new Future House/Deep House tune on Epic Tones Records is from that kind of tunes that you don't know in which part you can stand first to highlight for review. There is no doubt here for the top notch quality of production, the right selection of sounds, and the ongoing story which unfolds smart through the layering. While the vocals here and the melodic lines are like the spices on your favorite food, just making this tune explode the sound flavor to the listener's ears.”

A song which helped her find peace, newfound strength, and closure through these lyrics. If you are dealing with a loss of a loved one or a breakup that never quite healed, this song is for you.

Weaknot – Hikikomori [Lamour Records] (Video)

Categories: Electronica, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“Weaknot with his track Hikikomori on Lamour explores the more experimental electronica side without step out of harmonic atmospheres, but also without afraid going out of the usual lines, a wise selection of sounds, and a solid mix of layers drives the listener to a hypnotic listening experience.”

-Nagamag.com

A mixture of “dirt” and “clean” creates the music concept behind “Flowers Of Melancholy”, in which drones and ethereal voices have the purpose of sustaining the impact of drums and heavy distorted synths. This small music work, made up by two songs, reflexes the experimental music background of the music project Weaknot, the 24 years old guy fascinated by any kind of stuff that can be turned into a meaningful sound. Even if “Hikikomori” and “Haunted Pinewood” have dozens of sounds and process of making in common, the two pieces of music have two different moods. While the first one is much more aggressive and filled with highly processed glitch sounds, the last one appears to be a lot more melodic and dreamy, in order to create a listening experience that spaces from rough tunes to particularly carved ones.

Weaknot, music project created by Giacomo “Jack” Lippolis, constantly employed in a personal sound research, in order to give a specific musical identity to his artistic figure.

Despite Weaknot does not belong to a well defined music genre, his music style is particularly influenced by typical elements of Techno and Ambient music, soundscapes full of Glitches giving an experimental unique touch to his music works, tons of sounds sampled and recorded by Jack himself using multiple portable recorders.

The use of his recognisable voice inside his songs explicates the melancholic touch that distinguishes the project Weaknot, spacing from empirical and highly personal themes to ever more complex arguments, handled with a transparent and sometimes “raw” writing style.

Weaknot’s purpose is to carry on a musical idea that finds its basis on sharing emotions, aiming to welcome the listeners in his musical world, in order to share a highly stimulating experience together.

“Chris Ning is giving us a glimpse of his upcoming album “Digital God” with this single called “explode” portraying a love never meant to be answeared yet it leaves no sadness but rather an optimistic sense full of energy”

-Nagamag.com

The brand new single, “Explode,” from the upcoming album ‘Digital God’, is about falling in love with someone who is not in love with you. “Love is like suicide,” he says. “It’s like a part of you dies when you finally let someone go.” Produced by Dajaun Martineau (Moist, Priya Panda, Lydia Ainsworth), the whole album has a theme. “It’s about codependency and the extreme outcomes and circumstances of being reliant on external influence,” Chris says. “Every one of these songs is a love song in different ways, whether it be people or substances.”
