We love Ryota. A vibrant being who exudes light, his music is as full of electricity as the man himself. Based in Tokyo, the seasoned record collector and DJ makes inspired music formed straight from the heart. This epic interpretation of Cat Boys' 'Stardust' blends raw production with indelible funk, as the thick bass, psychedelic vocoder and heavenly chords drive the track deep into delay-laden dub territory.

PREMIERE: Martin Denev - Moving To The Suburbs (Rocco Universal Late Night Mix)

PRE ORDER THE ABLUM HERE: SoulClapRecords.lnk.to/ItaloFunk2

Following the success of the first volume in 2019, Italo Funk curators, Eli Soul Clap and Lele Sacchi have since been hard at work compiling the much anticipated second volume. Italo Funk Vol. 2 is dedicated to the great, Claudio Coccoluto who we lost earlier this year.

The continuation of the Italo Funk Story takes us on yet another trip through Italy, from 'Venaria', a little village just outside of Turin where Stump Valley offer us a blissful taste of the regions deep house flavors. To Puglia, where Rollover DJs present 'Buonasera', a slow building, bucolic jam.

Rocco Universal’s 'Somewhere Else' tips it’s hat to Detroit, but of course with a healthy touch of 80s Italo. DJ Rocca, sweeps us away to Reggio Emilia, and serenades us with his jazz flute on 'Don’t Be Worried' only to join us again under his collaborative project with Capofortuna as Roccacapofortuna on the peak time bomb 'Potage'.

Capofortuna; the duo of DJ Rame & Funk Rimini, deliver festival bound heat, while Funk Rimini takes us on a vivacious ride to Rimini on the Adriatic. Lele Sacchi & Brioski pick us up, and drop us off in Milano for a taste of both that old school and the nu school combined.

To Claudio’s legacy, and the great artists of Italy!

Cosmic Tiger follow on from their far-reaching 'Messages Volume One' compilation with the psychedelically-charged ‘Planetarium EP’ from label founder, Rocco Universal.

Fresh from his recent ‘Somewhere Else’ appearance on Soul Clap Records, DJ, producer and journalist Patrizio Cavaliere once again adopts his Rocco Universal production moniker, journeying deep into astral realms to serve a scintillating set of floor-focused grooves. His intriguingly eclectic DJ sets regularly veer into unexpected territory, and these diverse influences delicately infuse his varied and gently off-kilter productions. Planetarium EP arrives via the Cosmic Tiger label metamorphosed from the Southeast Asian music blog he launched back in 2019 – a platform poised to awaken from pandemic-enforced slumber this summer.

The EP kicks off with the title track, ‘Planetarium’. Here, Rocco Universal embraces his Italo roots, channelling nocturnal Mediterranean heat into a heartfelt outpouring of hallucinogenic space disco. Thick Moog bass powers the cut over a tight disco rhythm as analogue chords and lead motifs intertwine. Detroit firebrand Scott Hess enlivens the cut with his funk-flecked rhythm guitar line, before a stirring middle section shoots for the stars over a rapturous, conga-led build up. Cosmically rooted and designed to move dancers, this is club-focused music with a contemplative core.

Next, the mesmerising synth threads of ‘Assuage’ arrive as an opioid-fuelled slalom into deep house territory, with Rocco serving a mesmerising take on four/four profundity with a discreetly hallucinatory flourish. Flanging bass relentlessly rolls over crunching drums and loosely-woven synth patterns, with ethereal pads caressing altered vocal stabs as the tripped-out arrangement mischievously diverges. Forged in the psychic depths and steeped in cosmic intention, this hypnotic groove is built for backroom meditations.

Finally, ‘Sleepwalking In Silom’ won over an esteemed selection of DJs and collectors when it appeared on last year’s ‘Messages Volume 1’ compilation, making it a fitting closing moment to the EP. Deep, low-slung and brimming with atmosphere, the altered state groove chugs through waves of tripped-out effects and funk-informed melodies, conjuring the mysterious electricity of the Bangkok neighbourhood after which it takes its name.
