Next up on Tomi & Kesh’s NoZzo Music, Barcelona-based artists Marvin Kraemer and Kenzø make their label debut with ‘To The Funk’. Featuring two original tracks, the EP also comes with remixes from Craig & Grant Gordon, as well as Greck B & Anko A.

Kicking into the EP, ‘To The Funk’ is a gleaming example of rolling Tech House. As the name suggests, funky and full of groove throughout. Crisp percussion and creative fills sit well with its punchy drums and smooth sub bass melody that drive the track forwards.

Prolific UK talents Craig & Grant Gordon’s remix of ‘To The Funk’ turns up the heat and tempo somewhat. Fusing pacy Tech and Deep House flavours, its combination of robust rhythm and dreamy melodic factors make for an enjoyably raw red-do of the original.

‘Get Spinnin’’ keeps a more uptempo line as Marvin Kraemer and Kenzø go two for two with cadent terrace heaters. Thumping drums and rambunctious percussive grooves bounce of its strong and catchy bassline melody, breaking out into climactic moments throughout.

Keeping their foot on the gas, Greck B and Anko A’s remix of ‘Get Spinnin’’ is an impressive bed of instrumental constructions and a beating heart of funk-inspired energy. Scattered hats and perc strikes create a powerful ripple that ricochets off its electric drums and bass combo from start to finish.

Marvin Kraemer, Kenzø - To The Funk EP (incl. Craig & Grant Gordon, Greck B & Anko A Remixes) is proudly presented by NoZzo Music.

B-side Thats Right brings more percussive-focused undulating grooves and gritty melodic sonics throughout. Its driving bassline and rippling cadence pave the way for an ebb and flow of warped transitions and massive hands-in-the-air vocal-led throwdowns, making it a certified peak-time weapon

The next release on Libero comes from label owners and frontmen Mike Morrisey and Luke Welsh. After a year jam-packed full of support from the biggest names in the scene, the pair brings their aptly titled ‘Libero Sound’ EP to the table with resolute confidence in it exhibiting exactly what it says on the tin. Between them, they’ve both championed number 1 spot releases on Beatport and have released on some of the most on-trend, underground minimal/deep tech labels around, and it’s clear to see why with this four-track offering that also includes a remix from the renowned Stefano Crabuzza.

Opening the release, the title track sets the pace with its rolling groove. Stripped back, terrace-style vibes from the offset with a heavy focus on the accentuated percussive elements. The flow is kept energetic by constant injections of offbeat movement and rhythm. Subtle vocal chops give it an element of catchiness and decorate what is a well-rounded vibe builder.

Next in line is ‘Belted Down’, another terrace-style deep tech treat with a punchier persona. It runs the line of a more tribal-influenced track with hints of nostalgic rave influence. Heavily set low-end frequencies rumble throughout, complimenting the big, atmospheric transitions and hard-hitting drops.

The penultimate track, ‘Deep Mate’ has a bumpier feel to it. Although it is slightly more energetically charged, there is still a major emphasis on the groove and in particular the percussion. A track with a bit of a wider swing, containing some acid-infused low-bit sampling and another staunch bass factor. Definitely a strong choice for the peak hours of the party!

Closing out the release is Stefano Crabuzza’s remix of ‘Deep Mate’. Keeping much of the original fire burning but taking down the pace and stripping it back to meet the flavour of the two opening tracks. Sill carrying a bit of bump, but focusing more on the roll and offbeat flare.

Mike Morrisey and Luke Welsh’s 'Libero Sound' EP is proudly presented to you by Libero.

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