About Ricardo Baez:
Florence’s very own tastemaker Ricardo Baez has always been immersed in music. On one hand, he had his Italian father's extensive collection of old blues and jazz records. On the other hand, the 80’s pop cassettes his Venezuelan mother used as the soundtrack for her dance classes.

This melting pot gives Baez a different way to make his musical mark, as shown at his legendary party Tropical Animals in Florence, which has been running weekly since 2010. Tropical Animals has been cited as one of the most important drivers in the evolution of club culture in Italy, broadening people’s music tastes. Ricardo Baez’s trademark sets are unique- genre blurring, technically excellent and full of surprises. Ricardo Baez always leaves his audience wanting more.

And then there’s the sensational guests he books week in, week out. From Avalon Emerson to Marshall Jefferson, Vladimir Ivkovic to Jayda G (just to name a few). Ricardo Baez’s knowledge of electronic music is incredible.

It didn’t take long for his eclectic style and boundless enthusiasm to start turning heads internationally. Soon after hearing about Tropical Animals, the world wanted a piece of Ricardo Baez. Berlin came calling through Tresor, Watergate and Renate. Then Frankfurt’s Live at Robert Johnson, New York’s House of Yes and Le Bain, and London’s XOYO and Corsica Studios.

Ricardo Baez is also a well accomplished producer, taking all of his musical savoir faire and impeccable taste as a selector and making something new, that is instantly recognisable as his own. After releasing on some of the most prestigious labels in electronic music, he realised his music needed a place to call home. Since 2018, that home has been his own label, also called Tropical Animals. Other exotic creatures and musical chameleons that share his hot house include Whitesquare, The Cyclist, Robert Owens, Rebolledo, and the pioneer of Italian disco, Daniele Baldelli.  
Recently, he has appeared on compilations for Running Back, Correspondant, Polifonic, and Hotmix Records, as well as outstanding releases on Mule Musiq, Permanent Vacation, Bordello a Parigi and Correspondant.

Winter 2024 brings Ricardo Baez’s pièce de resistance: His stunning debut album, Tutto Passa, available on Live at Robert Johnson. Every track filled with meaning, an anthology of the most important moments in Baez’s life. Stay tuned - the lucky few who have heard it say this work of art is going to be yet another outstanding contribution to music. We’d expect no less.

Monty Luke - The Takeover

For the remix, groove deconstruction connoisseur Fantastic Man gives Pegasus the Midas treatment. Riding a throbbing and reprogrammed bassline, key elements from the original mix cameo throughout the track, rounded off by piano chord progressions to complete the pensive sound that constitutes the glue throughout the EP.

Release Info:

It’s been 6 years now since our last collaboration with Roar Groove and The Revenge in 2019.
So it was about time to unleash some new heavy hitters by this House master. 

With the opener “Twisted Signal” this EP sets the pace and tone to spiraling and pulsating sines, great grooves and
hypnotic vocal use. Dark dance floor material at it’s best! Followed by the deep “Spiral Highway” the a-side is one long live jam.
On the b-side we take back the pace and make it groovy-er with the House cut “Open Your Eyes” in a true classic “Revenge” style. Closing out with the excellent lush journey that is “Your Life”, bringing back again his great vocal sample use and adding deep soulful chord flavors.

Get real Deep with this new 4 tracker by The Revenge! Enjoy!

The Sisters & Brothers series on hfn music continues apace with the next release - this time by Sexy Lazer and Oculus. 

This four track EP highlights the series’ unique qualities - low slung grooves, sleazy vibes and lots of fun.

‘Thunder Striker’ kicks off the 4 tracks - a live bass line and snappy drums provide the basis for the track’s growling, prowling groove, accentuated by a superb vocals and live bass from Sexy Lazer and sparkling synth work from Oculus.

Two other versions of the track grace this release - a handy instrumental for the DJs and a rework from the co-curator of the series, Kasper Bjørke. The Dane’s remix focuses in on the bubbling, driving synth lines and adds some signature tight disco drums and additional melodic flourishes. It’s a sleek, powerful track sure to feature heavily on a lot of dancefloors over the next months.

Additionally, the release features ‘Excuse My Boston Accent’ - another attitude-full groover with a killer bass hook - perfectly merging live elements with exceptional programming and off-kilter vocals.

Tracklist :
01. Thunder Striker
02. Thunder Striker (Kasper Bjørke Remix) 
03. Excuse My Boston Accent
04. Thunder Striker (Instrumental)

Casca Máquina & Zyom — Frenesi

Artist: Toby Tobias
Title: The Rain EP
Release Date: 15th September (Vinyl) / 22nd September (Digital)
Format: 12” Vinyl / Digital
Cat No: DOG61 / DOGD61

Toby Tobias joins Delusions again for what will be his sixth(!) 12” entitled
The Rain. The prolific Londoner whose releases have graced such
venerable labels as Rekids, ESP Intistute and Let’s Play House, is back with
a vengeance, delivering two mighty fine originals plus a remix from
Nebraska.
In true Toby Tobias style, The Rain got made on an MPC, sliced and
edited from a single live take through the desk then accidentally deleted so
no further mixing, sequencing or editing could be carried out. But what is
an A&R man’s nightmare, turns out to be the record buying DJ’s gain, as
the improvised, dubby vibe and raw as ***k mixdown give the track an
authentic feel and energy which could only come from the madness in
Toby’s method.
Fresh from his brilliant releases on Mister Saturday Night and Razor n Tape,
we have our man Nebraska do his thing on the remix of The Rain.
Dropping down the BPM’s a bit from Toby’s more frenetic original,
Nebraska add’s a healthy dose of moogy lead lines to the lo-slung house
groove, perfect for warming up the dancefloor.
Closing this release we have New Way Of Feeling which sees Toby in
playful mode with a percussion heavy, driving basement jam. FM pads
form the centerpiece of the track whilst flourishes of Juno come and go,
hints of early 90’s IDM shining through on the glistening sine-wave
melodies. All in all a glorious melting pot of ideas and influences all over
this release which make for one of his strongest yet for Delusions.
