Italy is a country that’s never been shy when it comes to electronic music. The home of some of the scene’s most dedicated, passionate and talented DJs and producers, it embraces electronic music like few other countries across the world. As a country, Italy itself has long been a melting post for different sounds and cultures — and its modern musical output is no different. Patrizio Restelli’s Castanea label serves up a firm case in point. 

Established in Patrizio’s hometown in northern Italy, the label has played host to some of contemporary minimal’s most exciting names: think the likes of Topper, Pressure Point, Sedee, Birdsmakingmachine, Zefzeed and more. Under his Modbox alias, Patrizio is similarly responsible for a quite brilliant output that showcases the very best of modern house and techno. The label’s latest release sees Restelli turn to Romanian producer Nu Zau for an original EP, with the remix coming from a long-time favourite of ours, Dubtil. With so much going down, we tapped up Patrizio for a mix recently. You can also check the interview at https://nightclubber.ro/?p=2439

After many years of dedication, devotion and hard work behind the scenes we are happy to share the first album ever released on vinyl by the Wedding Acid Group.

This musical odyssey consists of 8 meticulously crafted tracks, created between 2010 and 2021, representing over a decade of evolution and growth. Each song showcases a unique facet of the trio's musical prowess, with tempos ranging from 100 to 150 bpm.

Disc 1 serves as a testament to the signature sounds of WAG, kicking off with the iconic and mesmerizing dark break journey "Toy Story" at 150 bpm. The energy continues to soar with the pulsating beats of "Colombo Acid" and "Low Moisture Acid," both guaranteed to ignite dance-floors worldwide. The first disc comes to a close with "Lost Memory FM," a true sonic adventure that starts in the abstract, gradually building up to the trademark dance-floor groove that the trio is renowned for.

Disc 2 delves into the introspective and emotive side of WAG's production process. "Optimistic Acid," the sole 4/4 track on the second record, enchants listeners with its rhythmic grooves and dreamy melodies, setting the stage for a captivating journey. "Sunday Circles" takes a detour into deeper realms with its evocative and playful melodies. The final side of the album delves even deeper into emotional territory with "Dog Park Memories," culminating in the breathtaking closing track, "City Gate Funk."

We are humbled and honoured to present this remarkable work by our dear friends, the Wedding Acid Group. As the second album to grace the shelves of Undersound Recordings.

"So A" - This song, written during the COVID-19 pandemic, carries a distinct Ghetto House atmosphere and reflects my dreams of freedom. It contains elements of utopia and was created in a dawless mode, like a timeless song. It's a solo creation.

"Jakivgusto" - Another solo song of mine, composed during the pandemic, also carries the spirit of the ghetto. This song reflects my contemplations about the moment and our inner strength during challenging times.

In collaboration with Yate, we crafted the songs "Black Camel" and "Sun Day." "Black Camel" is a musical journey that narrates a cosmic rally, bringing excitement and energy to the listener. "Sun Day" is a musical message about a bright future before the onset of wartime events, reminding us of peace and harmony.

PREMIERE: Dragusanu, Sorin Milea - Private Barbeque [TZH211]

Berlin welcomed them on a cool autumn evening. The narrow streets of Prenzlauer Berg flooded with the warm light of vintage lanterns, led Needle and Plate to a familiar place on Stargarder Street — the Lucky Six Tattoo. Inside was a spirit of creative chaos: posters of various festivals hung on the walls, and a slight smell of paint and coffee lingered in the air.

— Needle! Long time no see! — Daniel exclaimed with a wide smile, hugging her. — How are you?
— I'm fine, — she grinned. — This is Plate, my bro and music partner.
— Nice to meet you, Plate! — Daniel shook his hand.
— Nice to meet you, too. Glad we're finally here. Needle couldn't miss the opportunity to stop by and visit you, — said Plate.
— Yeah, I've been waiting for this moment, — Needle added and lifted her sleeve showing a tattoo: a vinyl record on her shoulder that had become her musical symbol over the years. — I think it's time to freshen it up.
— Of course, I remember that drawing! We did it when you started getting into electronic music and collecting vinyl. Such good times! Well, we'll add a few details to make it look sharper, — Daniel nodded, grinning slightly.

As he got ready for work, they chatted casually. Plate talked about the upcoming party at the bar, whereas Needle shared how she had longed to return to this city, which had always remained her idea of home and associated with the indomitable spirit of freedom.
