Paolo Aniello FKA New Digital Fidelity returns one final time since his last appearance on Italian Synth Planetarium – Sistema 1 in 2020 and readies some serious and sexy goodness for 2023.

“Gonna Touch The Sky” marks his debut on Moods & Grooves and there is no doubt that it will literally make you touch the sky! The EP opens with the reshape from none other than deep house legend Fred P. When it come to (ultra) deep house beautiness, Fred is the real don. Melodic, dreamy and groovy. Simply what you would expect from him and what he does best.

To follow is the original mix, awash in syncopated tribal rhythms, gorgeous female vocals and a rich tapestry of ethereal pad. “Gonna Touch The Sky” is a dancefloor-pleasing Afro house cut à-la Ron Trent/Trinidadian Deep featuring Sasha Paige on lead vocal and Rhia Reneè on background vocals that bubble over a deep, tribal groove.

On the flip, “Make Up Your Mind” takes tribal rhythms to a new, more mental level. It’s an Afro-Chi-meets-Detroit affair. The percussive rhythms and energy that constantly interplays with the synth line create an uplifting basement tune that could safely run at opening, peak time, or closing time. Last but not least, “Horizon” speaks for itself. It will definitely transport you to new horizons, toward a tropical beach at sunset, closing this incredible journey.

PREMIERE: Luca Ferrand - Step Up! [Scruniversal]

Download/Vinyl/Stream: https://toy-tonics.lnk.to/AmoreLatino

Toy Tonics comes up with a new house record by an artist by FIMIANI aka BPlan. DJ and producer from Napoli / Italia that has already been doing edits of extremely rare Italian disco tracks since three years on his own imprint Caffè Corretto. 
FIMIANI’s “Amore Latino“ EP is his debut as a producer, is all played live, no samples and consist of 4 house tracks that remind the early 1990ies New York house sound of Masters at Work, François Kevorkian or legendary Body & Soul club. Based on rolling funk grooves using a lot of jazzy piano chords, organs, real bass players and horns. This stuff is super musically and listenable also at home.
FIMIANI who comes from the region of Napoli, (or better the beautiful island of Ischia) is not only an edit maestro and skilled producer, but organized a summer house festival. He knows the history and is deeply inspired by the Italian house scene from the mid 1980ies/ 1990ies. 
People who know the history of dance music will be aware that the house is an Italo-Amercacn „invention“. Italians not only created the music called Italo disco, that was the big inspiration for many (American) dance music producers of the 1980ies and 90ies. The Italians also created the blueprint for what later became House music.
The original house music producers in Chicago always told the story of how they were impressed by the Italian sounds from 1981 - 1986. HOT MIX 5, the DJs that basically started the house genre and the term “house music” were playing the early Italian electronic dance records and got inspired by them for doing their own music later. Kano’s “It’s a War” or “Dirty Talk” and “MBO Theme” from Klein & MBO, “I Need Love” from Capricorn, “Love-N-Music” from Ris, “Dance Forever” from Gaucho and many other Italian records from the early 1980ies made their way to Chicago (and New York) and were one of the reasons the Chicago DJ to start to produce their own first electronic dance music, as they told this themselves in many interviews. The American DJs bought the same early electronic machines and were inspired by these Italian records. These mid 1980ies early Chicago productions then were played at the Warehouse club and ended up being called House Music.
That sound later influenced many New York producers of the 1990ies and also many Italian producers who, in the 1990ies created their own versions of the Chicago genre and called it “Italo-House”. This strong connection between Italo house and American house can be also seen in the fact that many American house DJs found a second home in Italy where house music became sort of mainstream in the late 1980 and 1990ies. 
Thanks to national-wide radios like Radio DEEJAY who were turning club hits into mainstream anthems, and thanks to party promoters like Angels of Love in Napoli or the Italian pioneers of the House parties in Rimini & Riccione Like Vae Victis, Echoes and the party Magic Monday, where American house producers found a second home. DJs like David Morales were living in Italy and artists like Tony Humphries or Masters at Work played at national radio and had hit singles in Italy - while still being underground in other European countries.
House is an Italo-American affair, and Fimiani is a late example of this perfect union.

Samosa Records reaches its 30th release in style, and who better to mark the occasion than label boss De Gama with the superb ‘Tropical Gangster’ - a three tracker slice of vinyl heaven that’ll blow you face first into your summer paddling pool.

Opening this super-tropical affair on the A-side is afro beat stomper ‘Karibu Funk’ - and it wastes no time at all in introducing us to its tribal rhythmic awesomeness. The beats, the vocals, the outrageously funky bass and horns are a musical representation of an African sunset. A serious groove.

A2. brings us ‘Lucky Fellow’; a twisting, turning bouncy bass-bomb of a tune with a flute riff that would charm the clothes off you. De Gama is very much in Pied Piper mode here - you’re powerless to resist the sexy overtures of the drums, the haunting synth lead and solid bass line. Sizzling hot.

On the B-side De Gama offers a cool ‘Piña Colada’ after all the heat of the A-side. This Piña Colada, however, offers an oasis of many delights and flavours. What starts as a furious latino drum call breaks to a tropical bassline and hypnotic keys. The vocals are the cherry on the cake of an amazing arrangement of layered sound. Goosebumps.

The Tropical Gangster is an exceptionally special Samosa release befitting the occasion of reaching the 30 milestone, and another example of the consistently brilliant output from Samosa Records. Expect this one to sell out fast.

PREMIERE: De Gama - Karibu Funk [Samosa Records]

Last October, South African artist Muzi made his Fool's Gold debut with uMUZI, an autobiographical collection of music with vignettes of the artist's journey from childhood to fatherhood . In 2024, this project has been reimagined for the club with remixes from Dan Kye, Edd, Emmaculate, and monocolour, a brand new alias from Kyptogram. Multi instrumentalist Jordan Rakei, know by his electronic soul-jazz alias Dan Kye, delivers a remix that even adds his own falsetto vocals to “Queen” — an anthem that already featured Chris Martin (yes, that Chris Martin). Malta's Edd transforms both "Light" and "Queen” into tasteful tech house bangers. Chicago's Emmaculate turns fan favorite "Milk & Honey” (feat. The Last Skeptic) into a nighttime Afro house weapon. Kyptogram, who has been making waves with his project kypt. vol2, premieres his new monocolour alias with a huge remix of "Queen" complete with powerful synth lines and live percussions.
