Landing in May on Tomi & Kesh's NoZzo Music, up and coming UK artist Matt Arnold makes his label debut with 'Beat'. Accompanied by Distance Music head honcho Bassel Darwish, the EP features an emphatic three-track combo that we can't wait to share.

'Beat' gets the EP off to an impressive start. Clean and punchy drum work kicks through a rolling bed of percs and tonal fills, interjected by catchy vox. The standout element has to be its funk-inspired melodics with strings, pads, synths and more. 

Next up, Bassel Darwish's remix strips things back and focuses on driving low-frequency elements to create a gritty underground feel. Homing in on the groove, this minimal-style roller with subtle melodics packs a punch from the bottom up. 

Last but not least, 'Yeah' introduces us further to Matt Arnold's quirky side. Breaking out of the conventional rolling Tech House blueprint to treat us to some more electronic-feeling melodic factors, it retains its underground feel whilst leaning into some more rave-inspired sounds and high-energy aspects.

Matt Arnold's Beat EP (incl. Bassel Darwish Remix) is proudly presented by NoZzo

Our next release comes from Kenpo Records frontman Antonio Grassia as he makes his NoZzo Music debut with two blistering Tech House heaters. We also call in fellow countrymen Proudly People on remix duties for 'Thursday'.

Kicking things off, the title track 'Thursday' rolls on in with intent and vigour. Laced with Funk-inspired sampling and soulful licks, its blend of perpetual drums and crisp perc construction brings an energetic terrace-ready feel. Subtle harmonies and progressive grooves build throughout the track, keeping you in a stir from end to end.

Hammering in their unmistakable sonic individuality, Proudly People come to the table with a punchy remix of 'Thursday' that will have you on your toes. Chugging grooves and sizzling hat sequences rebound off layers of instrumental constructions, carving out a punchy and movement-invoking peak time cut with limitless energy. 

The release closes on 'Pittino', a driving Tech House stomper with more high-octane Funk & Soul influence. A contrasting balance of potent and raucous main segments - crammed with danceable drum work and movement - and creative solo builds, centring around wildly creative sampling arrangement and climactic peaks. Another standout record with a big-room feel!

Antonio Grassia's 'Thursday' EP is out on 26th November 2021 on NoZzo Music.

A musical purist in terms of inspiration, Charles Pierre draws from soul, funk, disco, hip-hop, r&b and many other genres to catalyse his thoughts and galvanise new works. Outside of originals and remixes, he is also building a solid rep via the medium of recycling seminal pieces of music and putting his stamp on things in the form of Charles Pierre edits - with impressive effect.

His sound is heavily influenced by groove-focused tech house, championing distinctive and memorable bass melodies combined with layers of dance-inducing percussive factors. If you were to compare his sonic signature, it has many striking similarities to that of Joey Daniel, wAFF and Marco Carola - something that becomes quickly apparent when you look at Charles’ release catalogue and the ethos behind the labels he has signed music with.

Since landing a standout release on Solid Grooves in 2017, Charles has gained the support of a plethora of industry peers including the likes of Paco Osuna, Joseph Capriati, Steve Lawler, Latmun, Solardo, Michael Bibi, PAWSA, Wade and of course Marco Carola himself.

With many of the game’s major players frequently supporting Charles, it’s no surprise that he has already graced the majority of London’s most revered venues including Ministry of Sound, Printworks, Studio 338, E1, The Steelyard and more. Outside of his UK exposure, Charles has also appeared on the White Isle, most notably in the form of a b2b2b with Michael Bibi and Franz Costa on his debut for Solid Grooves at Benimussa Park.

Charles’ impressive resume has seen him play alongside the likes of PAWSA, Reelow, Dennis Cruz, Cuartero, Hector Couto, Neverdogs, ANOTR, Detlef, Nathan Barato and many more. What he has already achieved makes a worthy accomplice to what is yet to come, with several key releases on major labels and high-profile performances in the pipeline for the not too distant future.
