Release twenty-two on San Francisco’s Manjumasi sees Vincent Casanova return to the label for a second original EP. The Secret Tourism EP showcases what we know and love best about Vincent - absolutely irresistible grooves and luscious basslines, perfectly seasoned to taste with sonic details.

The first cut, Zyasta, is anchored by an incredibly funky bass riff that works its way into a very satisfying call-and-response with a playful bell lead. It’s an addictive hook that grabs you from the start and doesn’t let go. Next up is Secret Tourism, which pushes into a more lush territory with soft, ethereal pads and chopped up vocal snippets that evoke a feeling of exploration, as the track’s title implies. The final original on the package is Watermelon Smash, with its big round bassline setting the mood for loads of juicy melodic elements to weave through the tune.

The first remix comes from Dance Spirit, who have turned in an absolutely mesmerizing IDM re-interpretation of Zyasta. Abstract off-kilter rhythms and swirling synths melt together into a tapestry of sound. Next is a deep tech remix of Watermelon Smash from Birds ov Paradise, who morphs the track’s melodies into a minor key, adding deep and drummy layers of complex percussion.

Secret Tourism EP

Vincent Casanova - Zyasta

Né en 1991 et natif de Rolle, Luca Masciocchi – A.K.A. K@lu – est passionné de musique depuis l’enfance. Il a traversé différents horizons musicaux. Influencé en premier lieu par le mouvement hip-hop, il a entrepris plusieurs projets avec des amis (Enregistrements, clips vidéo, etc…). En grandissant, il a continué à voyager musicalement en s’ouvrant à d’autres types de mélodies (Jazz, Bossa Nova, etc…) ainsi qu’à différentes cultures, ce qui lui a permis de constituer un bagage musical hétéroclite. 
Il s’est ensuite tourné vers la musique électronique, se rendant compte qu’à travers ses sets, il pouvait marier les différents genres musicaux qui lui plaisait. Il a par conséquent commencé à jouer avec les sonorités tout en combinant des rythmiques diversifiées, passant du groove à des lignes de synthé beaucoup plus grasses (Minimal, Deep Tech, Micro House, House Funky, etc…).

Born to 1991 and native of Rolle, Luca Masciocchi - A.K.A. K@lu - has been passionate about music since childhood. He has crossed different musical horizons. First influenced by the hip-hop movement, he undertook several projects with friends (Recordings, video clips, etc...). As he grew up, he continued to travel musically by opening himself to other types of melodies (Jazz, Bossa Nova, etc...) as well as to different cultures, which allowed him to constitute a heterogeneous musical baggage. 
He then turned to electronic music, realizing that through his sets, he could marry the different musical genres he liked. He therefore began to play with sounds while combining diversified rhythms, passing from groove to much fatter synth lines (Minimal, Deep Tech, Micro House, Funky House, etc. ...).
