TTeo is the pseudonym of Matteo Capreoli - a half German, half Italian singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer with a deep musical heritage. Fernando Antonio Capreoli, his father, left Salento in southern Italy for Germany in 1970, before forming disco-funk-rock outfit Lovexpress, made up of mainly Italian and Scandinavian musicians, playing drums in the band and touring Norway, Sweden and Denmark from 1974 to 1979.
TTeo himself signed to Sonar Kollektiv in 2020, releasing the Salento EP, named after the place of his father’s birth. More recently, though, he was serendipitously handed a batch of cassettes by his dad of some of Lovexpress’ live shows from the late 1970s. TTeo was deeply impressed by the quality of the music and got his father to digitise them immediately! These recordings form the basis of, and the inspiration for, his latest LP - Lovexpress 77, and are the only known recordings of the band who never quite made it into the studio to lay down an album.
The LP is a unique combination of songs that sample, rework and are inspired by the Lovexpress band and TTeo’s southern Italian roots. Tracks like Follow Me, Samba and the eponymous Lovexpress itself draw heavily on samples from the band’s original live recordings, often with Matteo over-laying new sounds and multiple instrumentation to complement and enhance them.
On Follow Me and Samba he adds his own voice into the mix and allows guests to get involved too, with vocalist Kristine Bogan adding to the former and producer Owen Ross contributing Fender Rhodes to the latter. Elsewhere, his father’s original conga playing is sampled on the sultry Arzu, with TTeo adding his own piano parts, recorded on his iPhone, and on Lovexpress - the first track he made from sampling the band’s work - it’s the drums that take centre stage, alongside added guitar from Swedish-Estonian musician, Raul Ojamaa.
 In fact, it’s the drums that are central to this very special album in that TTeo plays his father’s original kit that was used in the 1970’s recordings. This often means that Matteo finds himself jamming with his father, both playing the same drum kit, on many of the songs. This is particularly evident on Follow Me, and no doubt helps give it its very spiritual and uplifting feel.
Other tracks on the album, such as the haunting yet foot friendly 42H, draw on the influences of TTeo’s roots and the Lovexpress band rather than sampling the band themselves. They are no less powerful though, with songs like Pantera, for example, which is inspired by how freely the band expressed themselves being a particular highlight.

By sampling, re-working and re-imagining the band’s source material in this very unique way, TTeo is bringing his father’s original club sounds to a whole new audience.
Matteo is now back living in his family’s home town of Salento once again and sees this project as “closing a circle” both musically and personally. Although he may be opening a new one if rumours of getting the Lovexpress band back together and recording that missing studio album come to fruition! Only time will tell.

Mike Salta & Mortale release their debut album ‘Moloko Island’. Moloko Island is a getaway where good vibes can float freely. An island where only fantasy set the limits.

'Moloko Island' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

It's a collection of tracks, some of which have already been buzzing around the balearic / downtempo scene for a while now. The Album includes the infectious ‘Hey Moloko’ which was picked up by Hot Chip for their splendid Late Night Tales compilation, and the gamers amongst you may have noticed it in the most recent Playstation – Gran Turismo 7 soundtrack. Outro track ‘Bye Moloko’ is a brand new Re-edit of this classic.

The music of Mike Salta aka Gert Nygaard flaunts an eclectic palette, collecting strands from New Orleans funk, 80’s italo disco or Brazilian tropicalia and transforming them into rich and sun-drenched dance music.

The album is produced in collaboration with long-time studio partner Mortale, and is a sumptuous piece of chillout to call on the summer. A full-bodied groove of an album to transport you and soundtrack those sunny days & balmy evenings. Moloko Island concludes a voyage and reconcile an era where electronics and acoustics have been explored and united in the unique sound and vibe Mike Salta and Mortale has strived to unfold…

Archil & Leon: Sharing Heartfelt Emotions with "Without You By My Side", the follow up to "Wild Child", extracted from their upcoming Pisces EP coming out on June 7 on Zuma Music.

In this heartfelt track, Archil & Leon delve into their pop sensibilities, taking us on an emotive journey through themes of sadness, faithfulness, and enduring love. With Archil's vocals resonating the experience of losing a lifelong partner, the song strikes a chord with its raw portrayal of human emotion.

Without You By My Side" features a slow, deep beat bringing a sense of power and intimacy, reminiscent of modern soul music. The track is carried by the hypnotizing sound of the bottle-phone: a self built electro mechanical wind instrument. Through their unique blend of pop and soul influences, infused with electronic arrangements, Archil & Leon guide us through the highs and lows of love and loss with captivating melodies and deep grooves.

True sonic artisans, Archil & Leon extend a compelling invitation for listeners to immerse themselves in this exciting preview of what's to come in their EP. Stay tuned for "Pisces," an auditory journey that promises to transcend conventional musical boundaries and redefine your perception of sound.

Without You By My Side

This was a fun exercise in creating Music in a genre that is NOT one I normally produce in. I had a ton of fun making it. I could see it played at a lounge or upscale bar.. or elevator lol.
