Artist: Luca Olivotto
Track: I Found You 
Release name: It's Too Dark EP
Label: Small Great Things
Release date: 25-Apr-25


Small Great Things boss Luca Olivotto is back on his own imprint end of April with
the four track ‘It’s Too Dark’ EP.
In recent years, Italy via Berlin artist Luca Olivotto has been etching his mark on the
underground House scene through his labels Small Great Things, Endless Music
and recently minted At A Glance, as well as his Small Great House events series.
Here the story continues with a fresh collection of works from the prominent House
producer and DJ.
Opening is title-track ‘It’s Too Dark’, a six minute excursion through bright piano
keys, swinging drums, soulful vocal stylings and a bumpy bass hook. ‘It’s Over’
follows and dives into deeper House territory with warm strings, organ stabs, and
choppy subs intertwined with crisp drums, soft Rhodes and cut up vocals.
Opening the flip-side is ‘I Found You’, upping the energy levels again with a high
energy melodic drive, hypnotic vocal lines and heavily shuffled drums. ‘See Thru’
then concludes the release and leans into a more Disco-tinged House realm with
intertwined funk samples, sweeping filter work and intricately processed vocal
chants running atop a sturdy rhythmic foundation.

PREMIERE: Luca Olivotto - I Found You [Small Great Things]

Quimera LP
Label - Scruniversal
Released - 12th May 2025
Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/scruscru-los-protos-quimera-lp-vinyl/1067781-01/

Scruscru and Los Protos hook up on the former's ever-reliable label for some more funk-fuelled and sample-heavy madness. This eight-tracker draws on the best of Library, jazz, hip hop and soul and collides elements of all of those together with some raw, and what sounds like, MPC beats, all tapped out with a lovably loose vibe. Some like 'Local Sugar Diggers' look up towards a sunny, cloudless sky, others like 'Dreams Of Sonora' are swaggering broken beat workouts with sensuous sax lines setting a steamy tone. 'Por Do Sol Em Shelekhmet' is another highlight with its aloof, angelic vocal tones.

Format - Vinyl
BUY FROM - https://www.juno.co.uk/products/manzo-edits-vol-5-vinyl/1086608-01/

Manzo Edits Vol. 5 trots proudly back into the ring, tail high and hooves tapping, with four fresh cuts to leave the dancefloor gasping for hay.

"Rosy" opens the stampede with groovy springtime melancholy: Manzo is lovesick, staring across the fence at a cow he just can’t forget. "Amare Moto" slinks in with sultry swagger, a slow and sexy jam built to get the hips moving.

On the flip, "You Have To Cry Tonight" struts in with crisp Italo drums and more attitude than a Saturday night stallion. We close with "Bring Me", an alpine rave of cowbells and yodeling, ready for the pasture.

. . . . WE COULD BE FINE, OR NOT.

Anxicast 044 w/Fred Aster

Following the May release of his debut album “Rising Despite Circumstances” we celebrate Adam Gillett’s record with a very special collection of interpretations and reimaginings “Rising Despite Circumstances: Remixed”.

For this collection we’ve assembled a truly monumental troupe of producers to give their takes on the anthemic and ethereal originals and the 11 takes that comprise this remix record represent a staggeringly diverse breadth of styles, genres, and tones all while keeping the heart of the original record beating.

Brooklyn based artist Luko M kicks off the proceedings with a lush gently glitchy rearrangement of the album opener “Can We Do Better?” answered by UK producer Grant Deane’s hauntingly ethereal and tender rework of the same tune. Our good friend, Bay area’s Benito keeps things airy on his sparse and gorgeous take on “Like An Animal” giving way to King Grump’s endlessly groovy flip of “Reap What You Sow”. Aussie art pop duo Ducks! turn “Still Going Round In Circles” into a delicious dub odyssey, leading the way for German system heater expert Dogpatrol to melt some faces with a simply rude bass driven take on “Like An Animal”.

Ibiza based Woodland Creature Tsodor turns up with the kind of dancefloor smasher he’s made a name for unleashing upon unexpecting dancers with his storming “Reap What You Sow” flip - opening the floor for living legend Timo Maas’s simply devastating DJ weapon of a rework of mid album banger “Check Yo Stamina On The Reg”. Keeping the dancefloor moving comes Special Zip’s gloriously playful and infectiously vibey play with “Like An Animal”. Midlands resident breaks enthusiast Rawtrachs drops a decidedly euphoric and old school take on the same track before the record comes to stunning conclusion with long time collaborator and dear friend Justin Margovan’s complex, driving and deeply atmospheric rework of “Reap What You Sow” as Nihon Ten.


All original tracks written and produced by Adam Gillett with additional production and mixing by the remixers.

Byte is Ramon Inc.'s debut album, released on August 17, 2021, through Bonaldo Records. Classified as Dance on platforms like Qobuz, the album presents a vibrant fusion of dance music, electronic pop, and indie electronic, positioning Ramon as an artist who moves between danceable terrain and introspective synthetic atmospheres.

The album is a sequence of short tracks—with titles like "Byte," "Guitar," "Breeze," "Beach," "Eletro," "Now," and "Pulse"—showcasing a fragmented structure focused on sonic immediacy. Each song functions as a snapshot: compact melodies, clean arrangements, and danceable beats that retain their electronic subtlety. There are no excesses or grandiose constructions: the spirit is direct, danceable, yet emotionally ambiguous.

The blend of atmospheric synths, treated guitars, ethereal pads, and a pulsating groove give the album a balance between energy and lightness. Some tracks evoke feelings of urban summer—like “Beach” and “Breeze”—while others seem to explore more internal and chilled landscapes, like “Pulse” or “Electro.” Vocals are absent, and the focus is on the sonic mood rather than the lyrics.

Byte represents Ramon Inc.'s departure as an electronically oriented producer, reaffirming his identity at the intersection of contemporary dance and sonic experimentation. The album showcased his ability to create musical “bytes”: small fragments that sound complete in themselves, inviting repetition and the discovery of details with each new listen.

Byte is more than a debut:
it is an electronic mosaic of danceable moments and clear atmospheres—the vigorous start of a rising artist.

WARNING: At the end of 2023, I changed all my official covers for my releases. I made these changes due to the lower quality of the old covers. The current covers, made with higher quality and without the use of AI, are available on streaming platforms and in YouTube thumbnails, as I unfortunately cannot change them in videos.
