At the beginning of the 90s a new music wave was emerging in Italy. Influenced by stylistic elements and sound expressions arriving from abroad - in particular from those english and american labels – it has created the bases for an innovative sound destined to leave its mark for generations to come. It was a sound close to the Deep House atmospheres coming from Chicago, Detroit and New York. A sound made of powerful basslines, punching drum machines, dreamy melodies and incredibly sensuous vibrations.
Dream House, Italo House, Piano House are names often used to identify this new scene, but it could be simply summed up in one word: "Underground". 
Inspired by an innate sense of freedom and experimentation, a generation of Italian DJs and producers envision the sound of the future. The music becomes a muse, enchanting and unifying. The movement fires up  in the clubs. The record shops act as a sounding board. And the alignment of all the planets generates an invasion of celestial bodies.

"Ciao Italia” wants to be a tribute to the artists that wrote this story. Artists that were forced to use many different aliases that often even themselves have forgotten and certainly less celebrated than their colleagues today. 
From Andrea Gemolotto, Massimino Lippoli, Fabrice, Mr Marvin, Davide Rizzatti and Angelino Albanese (DFC Records), Ricky Montanari and Flavio Vecchi (Love Quartet), Paramour, Adrian Morrison and Dj Ralf 

(Heartbeat Records), passing through the productions of Alex Neri and Marco Baroni (formerly Kamasutra, Green Baize, Agua Re up to becoming Planet Funk) for Palmares, up to Don Carlos and Stefano Tirone (together Montego Bay Experience) Francesco Montefiori (aka Key Tronics Ensemble and Soft House Company) and Claudio “Moz-Art Rispoli (Jestofunk and Omniverse) on Irma and Antima Records, Leo Mas, Rago and Farina, MBG, Paolino Bova, Gianni Bini and Paolo Martini, up to names that have remained more in the shadows but have given great lymph and depth to music Made in Italy such as Leo Anibaldi , Andrea Benedetti and Eugenio Vatta (Frame), Leandro Papa (Last Rhythm e Stonehenge), Cesare Cerulli and Toni Verde (Blue Zone), Graziano Ragni (High Tide), Massimo Berardi (Underground Nation Undertour Sensation and Cosmic Galaxy) and Massimo Zennaro and all those producers that we were not able to include in this collection because of the lack of space.

A rhythmic journey to rediscover what has been, what continues to be and what will be, “Ciao Italia” tells a story that still sounds incredibly current, whose reverberations continue to be the object of veneration among DJs, clubbers and music lovers of new generations. As confirmed by the new productions ideally inspired by the iconic sound of the time, testimony of an Italian avant-garde alive and vivid not only in memories but more than ever in the here and now.
Not only a "musical style", but also a way of approaching reality characterized by enthusiasm, a global vision and a spirit suited to the most eclectic and boundless creativity. 

Born from an idea of Daniele "Shield" Contrini, with the art direction of Stupefacente Studio, the project took shape in a double vinyl format with an insert, signed by the journalist Elia Zupelli, which reconstructs an era through the voices of the protagonists, photographs, interviews, rarities and dazzles from the 
dancefloors. So, while the vinyl slides under the needle, the hope is to be able to grasp the atmosphere and live it again for a few moments, clinging to the indomitable charm of  the "underground" grooves: a mnemonic flow from the past and a driving force for a new course projected into the future.

Release Text:
Stepping up for his fourth release on Heist, sample wizard Nebraska comes in with some lovely chops and a giant curveball of an A-side that has summer anthem written all over it! Dive into this massive four track EP by the London native who just keeps on bringing the goods.

The ‘Chant des Oiseaux EP’ is built around a collaboration between Nebraska and BeBelle. Anyone who’s picked up Nebraska’s 2021 release on his Friends & Relations label, will have already had a glimpse of what happens when these two get in the studio. They have a mutual love for French vocals; everything BeBelle says, whispers and chants just sounds syrupy sweet.

This might be most evident on the title track , where modulated Rhodes, the distant chirping and fluttering of birds, and a minimal beat form the foundation for BeBelle’s mesmerizing vocal. The dreamy and contemplative vibe makes you long for those endless days of summer.

The Detroit inspired ‘Skelp Tune’ will take you back to the ground and straight into the club. Nebraska actually sent in a ‘note to self’ saying “you’re not Moodymann” along with the first demo of this to the label. But he doesn’t have to be, as this track has all the clever sampling and disco energy of a classic Nebraska tune, nicely tucked into one hell of a groove!

The flip starts with ‘Cop Show’, a no-frills disco house cut with life affirming strings , guitar licks, and a bottom end to freak out your neighbour’s neighbours. The EP closer is another collaboration with BeBelle, on ‘Henri Rousseau’, which is built on a groove that gallops along, with strings, outer-worldly vocals, and howling soundscapes that turn it into a covert disco burner on the more experimental side of house.

On the ‘Chant des Oiseaux EP’, Nebraska effortlessly shows off his impressive sampling skills, electronic fiddling, and powerful drum programming, reminding us that he’s not lost an inch of talent over the years, continually managing to surprise us with his music! Knowing him this is simply because he’s exploring new ways to keep on surprising himself…

Yours Sincerely,
Maarten & Lars

Cosmonection is the Parisian artist at the forefront of France’s flourishing electronic music scene. A regular of Pont Neuf since it was first founded six years ago, the emerging French talent will be marking a career milestone this May 13th with the release of his maiden album: Hidden Places.
“I wanted to tell something through landscapes and emotions in this album, as if I was taking a cinematic approach. I didn’t want to make a purely ‘club’ album - I felt it had to have a more introspective dimension as well. There are these two worlds that shape my project and they cohabit together in this LP.” - Cosmonection.

The idea of this compilation is to freeze this scene in a moment, to celebrate it by marking it in time and letting these artists express their stories in music.” - Thomas Prunier, Pont Neuf Founder and Label Manager.

PREMIERE: Tour-Maubourg - Square Sounds

Alongside his distinguished career as an audio engineer working with artists such as Drake and Mos Def, Brian Johnson has been consistently releasing his own quality house music via his imprints Master Chef Music and Bohemian Yacht Club. The Torontonian artist now returns to the former with four remixes taken from his debut album ‘Amsterdam To Broadway’, each showcasing the distinctive and unique sound Brian champions.

Kicking off the release is fellow Toronto native Greg Gow, the Restructured Recordings boss remixes the introductory track of the album ‘Amsterdam’ and gives its soulful, downtempo counterpart a mysteriously dark and dubby techno spin. Brian Johnson then provides a personal rework of ‘Silent Reign’, leaving the original’s deep arpeggios behind but stalwartly maintaining its sense of wonder by adding imposing synths, driving high-end, rumbling bass and rich layers of texture.

Childhood friends Andrew Robinson & Mike Martins then join up with Johnson under their collective Organic Life moniker. Fresh off the back of their latest EP on Master Chef Music ‘Love On The Run’, the three artists return with a new version of ‘That Life’, turning the track into a feel-good vocal deep house cut. Last but not least, Wess Pull remixes ‘Mastro’s Msg’, providing the release with a stripped-down version of the original, keeping the entertaining phone call excerpt but paring down its drums to a meticulous minimal groove.

Brian Johnson ‘Amsterdam To Broadway Remixes’ releases via Master Chef Music on 26th August 2022.

Blessed Madonna, Pete Tong, Gerd Janson, Ash Lauryn... the list of great DJs playing and loving Sam Ruffillo's very special italian disco music is long. With only 3 EPs on Toy Tonics, he might be the most talked about producer on the Berlin label (with Cody Currie and Coeo). One of his Italian disco songs form his last EP ITALIANISSIMO ("Chiamami Subito“) made it into the high rotation playlist of the biggest Italian pop radio and is still growing in the international club underground.

Now Sam comes with a new EP. And this EP shows his other side. Until now Sam has been known for his Italian organic disco songs (no samples, all instruments played live). But for his new BROOKLYN TAPES EP the Italo-Sicilian DJ, producer and super styler Sam Ruffillo worked with a few American rappers and soul singers to create what a New York critic called „post digital soul house music“. 

Remixes for the EP by some of Sam's fans: Ash Lauryn from Detroit, Eli Escobar from New York and Art Of Tones from France.  

Released: 17.2.2023

He was stubborn in his point of view, it had always been that way and it seemed as if some things would never change. As he walked by the old canal he looked at the leaves which floated upon the water and travelled downstream towards the river. He wondered why life was as transient as it was yet he'd been stuck in the same old sensibilities for as long as time itself. Perhaps it was time for a change, he'd always considered things to be based upon historic principle. "My belief, your disorder," his mantra for a quiet life. Now it all seemed more fragile and wayward than ever... 

Damiano Von Erckert is set to release a new EP on Will Saul's label Aus Music. This one is a shuffle ready, high paced house affair destined to delight dancers. It's fun yet menacing. A well rounded release which is bound to travel well.
