VA Innocent Music December Sampler vol.8

Thrust

Returning in time for what is the first 'normal' summer for many of us, Tomi & Kesh's NoZzo Music imprint follows an impressive release from the label heads with the latest instalment from their always entertaining 'The NoZzo's' compilation series.

Opening the release, DJ Entwan's percussive-focused roller 'Back Again' brings the terrace vibes with potent low-frequency drive and subtly rising melodies. Franz Costa's 'Proper Propaganda' has a spring in its step with stripped-back drums and
rumbling sub-bass cut that through a bed of crisp percussive layers and attention-grabbing vocal.

Gustaff's 'Persianikas' drives the release back into the realm of uptempo rolling Tech with more high-energy instrumental flair, bright melodies and sultry vocals from end to end whilst Horo's 'The Groovy' follows nicely with Jazz-laced flavours mixed into a gritty combination of racy rhythms and engaging musicality.

'Just Stop' sees Kristofferson deliver an elegantly dreamy cut with hearty drum grooves, rattling percussive momentum and reverberating hypnotic layers from the outset. Lautaro Bidegain follows with 'Dancers', combining swaying rhythms and rolling sub-bass alongside sensual vocals, waves of climactic builds and atmospheric suspense.

Mad&Meis' 'Vanguard' charms you with shuffling hats and fizzing shakers alongside an intriguing spoken vocal hook supplemented by bright synths, pads and tones that add a subtle summertime feel. Matt Arnold's 'Break It Down' features an impressive display of his increasingly-popular style of simplistic rolling Tech grooves complemented by catchy basslines and delicate melodies with cadent vocal chops and engaging elements from start to finish.

Nacho Scoppa's 'Hood Style' pumps the gas as we come towards the end of the release. Blistering rhythms and heavyset kick drums bounce off pulsating sub-bass whilst the track glides through peaks and troughs alongside vox chops, creative fills and instrumental flair. Shakti's 'Bounce' brings the release to a quintessentially groovy end, combining a prominent bassline with punchy drum work and endless layers of rippling percs. Beyond this, rising melodies and filtered vocals swirl away into several ultimately enjoyable and impactive drops.

'The NoZzo's Vol.4' is out on 5th August 2022 on NoZzo Music.

We are very pleased to bring you this fantastic ep from Kydus. After his releases on labels like Circus Recordings, Snatch! Records and Saved, he lands for the first time in Expectancy with ''Tana'', a track full of his typical groovy and pumping house beats with a delicious vocal. A great addition to this ep are the Collective Machine and Rub A Dub's remixes that complete the ep with their amazing re-interpretations of the original. Totally in love with this release. Enjoy

Don't Worry

As in every year, the unique sound of Deeperfect loudly echoes in the streets of Amsterdam during its huge, festive "Amsterdam Dance Event", in this context, who is better than the chief himself, Stefano Noferini, in representing the label's sound?
"Stefano Noferini presents Club Edition ADE 2016" is a monumental release consisted of 27 unreleased, brand new tracks, and one long continuos mix binding them together. Noferini, selecting the tracks himself, is also the one patching them all together in a masterful demonstration of what magic can be extracted out of this joyful spring of sounds.
Most of the 27 tracks loyally reflect the label's current sound signature: a careful minimal House flavoured with tribal elements. A wide selection and application of percussion tools, with a dominant presence of various claps and cowbells, and the famous Deeperfect punchy kick designs.
However, some of the other jewels in this box perhaps reveal something about the future sound of the label: an energetic, groove-loaded, peak-time materials that function as ultimate dance floor destroyers.
All together, this release is a must-have. It encapsulates a year's work of one of the world's most important labels, and is a delightful musical journey for any fan of electronic music.

The next release on Libero comes courtesy of one of the label's leading men, Luke Welsh. The Kaluki & WHP resident is on top form as he delivers an impressively potent EP in the form of ‘Not The Same’ - featuring three hot off the press original cuts, highlighting his ever-increasing production talent and adding even more weight to the Libero name.

Kicking things off, ‘Not The Same’ leaps straight into that signature label format of percussive-led groove and easy-going momentum. Layers of intricate drum components drive the track with not only cadence but also add subtle melody - complimenting the weighty low-frequency bass melody. The track is broken up with a progressively climatic synth riff and accompanying vox line that builds the perfect ledge to kick you off, straight back into the groove once more. Played numerous times by Marco Carola.

‘Mad Marksman’ has an undeniable tribal feel to it. Fat-bottomed kicks meet the sizzle of hand drums rattling from left to right that give off a really attractive primal energy. Another deep and heavy roller in the lower end of the frequency spectrum with progressively building and subtle melodic elements - dusted off with yet more clever vox arrangements. A track with an essentially raw and soulful appeal, that will have you reaching for the repeat button.

Last but certainly not least, ‘Campione’ completes the release with another welcomed instalment of full-bodied kicks and a seemingly endless array of movement-inspiring rhythmic elements. A bottom-heavy head bopper to say the least with ‘crammed terrace’ written all over it, carrying that nonchalant loose-necked feel from start to finish. Reminiscent of the sort of track you would hear at peak time at a Music On type party.

Manchester-based imprint Libero Records is quickly becoming a staple in the diet of many underground tech-house appreciators. With a stripped-back approach and rhythmic grooves teeming throughout their already blossoming catalogue of releases, it’s easy to see why the label’s exposure is growing at an exponential rate. 

Label frontmen Mike Morrisey, Luke Welsh and Dan Costello lead the march in pushing the Libero Sound to the masses.

Building around a focus on percussive, minimalist tech-house inspired by concepts like the infamous Music On and artists like Marco Carola, Joseph Capriati, Paco Osuna and many more; Libero’s ethos is centred around the rolling soul of underground dance music. Through the label, as well as regular events and a frequent podcast series, they consistently broadcast their simple yet effective Libero Sound ideology to the farthest corners of the scene.
