Head in the Clouds // Radio ARA // EPISODE 48 // 19.08.2025

Rhizomatic sounds, connecting freely and rooting in unexpected places

We are two Luxembourg-based record diggers who love warm, organic, analogue, eclectic and deep sounds which bring to mind tropical sunsets, campfire parties on the beach, humid jungle nights and star-filled skies. Maracas, vintage synths, saxophones, drum computers and echo machines are common ingredients. 

Follow us on Instagram and Twitter @editionsdelux.

La ricerca di nuove sonorità e di contaminazioni diverse è alla base della crescita della cultura musicale. Mai soffermarsi ad un unico genere fossilizzandosi, ma aprire sempre gli orizzonti avendo coraggio di spaziare, di osare e di proporsi.

Oh! What a beautiful city!
Oh! What a beautiful city!
Oh! What a beautiful city!
Twelve gates to the city
Hallelu!

Signed to IRMA Records (Bologna, Italy), Leo Pesci’s upcoming Neapolitan-language album blends soul, hip-hop, funk, and traditional folk, featuring collaborations with rising voices from Naples’ indie scene. Through themes like capitalist alienation, cultural identity, and power structures, Leo channels his roots into a powerful reflection on modern society.

The use of Neapolitan becomes an act of resistance and pride—preserving heritage while pushing sound forward. Raw, emotional, and unapologetic, Leo’s music is a call for awareness in a world that often favours appearance over substance.

Originally from Napoli (Italy) and based in London, songwriter and producer Leo Pesci blurs the lines between Soul, Funk, Hip-Hop, Nu Jazz, and global sounds. After two acclaimed EPs and the album IMPOLITE—featuring standout names from the London Nu Jazz scene and airplay on BBC1, Jazz FM, and World Wide FM—Leo now returns with a bold new chapter.
