The latest club smash from Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri could not be a better fit for Gregor Tresher's Break New Soil imprint. Tailor made you might say?
The Italian production partnership of Picotto & Ferri has the deepest of foundations and has been the driving force behind both the individual careers of both artists and the success of their excellent label Alchemy. Fresh from the release of their heavyweight single Clash, the guys roll out their latest handiwork, the finally crafted Bespoke. 
As with all Picotto & Ferri productions the spine of Bespoke is the all encompassing groove.  
Bouncy and driving, the bass heavy backbone is broken only by the jazzy key riffs, mysterious piercing synth melody and the shimmering open-hats. The first of the remixes comes from Julien Chaptal. The Frenchman skips us along on a wave of cymbals but its his bottomheavy pulsing bassline that keeps us floating throughout. 
Matteo Gatti takes a more laid-back approach on this rework, allowing the groove to relax which in turn releases a new level of funk into the mix. Ramping things back up are Canadian duo The Junkies who ad their straight up drum work to give their mix of Bespoke a trademark stomp.

Mauro Picotto & Riccardo Ferri - Bespoke (Original Mix)

Od N.t. I T.a. - Oblik - NTTA11

After his successful remix of Orion’s “Gravity“ Johannes Volk returns to Polytone with his debut EP. Two excellent techno tracks are in place and a spaced out ambient piece called “It Could Happen“ describes the mysterious view from a spacecraft cockpit into the wideness of the universe. On the 
A-Side Volk blows the whistle of the EP’s title “Asteroid Riding“ with funky chords accompanied by a wide deep bassline, short samples, classic percussions and a cropped stomping kick-drum, that let you ride through the orbit. On the B-Side “Earthbound“ pounds with a broad hollow kick, arpeggiated synth’s, alerting sounds and a harmonically settled type of string-line that eases the element’s diversity like the blue planet’s gravity. Within the tracks that have been built to transport the feel of time and space, Johannes Volk again pushes himself on the cutting edge of electronic music.

Following strong releases on Ovum, FLASH, Elevate and more established labels, P-Ben from France joins the OFF roster.

The EP kicks off with Bakoutool, a dry and functional percussive tool track.

Glory is an oldschoolish chord-heavy trip through time and space.

Reverside is another functional affair, an energetic synth line leads the track, and classic 909 drums propel it forward.

Tribute To M. is a slightly cheeky nod to one of the innovators of our music.

Finally, 'All Possible' connects with Glory in its uplifting and chord-laden style, classic 90ies techno-house.

E-Missions co-founder P.Leone returns to Radio Slave’s Rekids this September with ‘The My Lita Project’ backed with remixes from Mark Broom and Spencer Parker. 

Originally hailing from New York, P.Leone now resides in Berlin where he helms his E-Missions imprint with releases from himself and co-founder Caiazzo, exciting new artists like Rush Plus and Tred, not to mention remixes from Young Male, Spencer Parker and Lawrence Lee. Leone has also dropped a variety of releases on Rekids and Work Them Records, when not making regular appearances at clubs like Tresor and ://about blank. He now returns to Radio Slave’s respected imprint with ‘The My Lita Project’, following up his highly lauded ‘El Dorado’ EP that garnered support from Ben Sims, Jackmaster and Spencer Parker. 

‘My Lita’ kicks things off with classic synths, piercing strings and choppy vocals slices whilst robust drums march forward. Meanwhile, ‘Tight In The Pocket’ is more dark and menacing in comparison with its syncopated percussion, echoing claps and ethereal atmospherics. 

On the flip, Mark Broom drops two different remixes of ‘My Lita’; the first is a robust cut complete with disco elements like funky guitar licks and soulful voice, with the original’s stabs shining throughout, whilst the second remix takes a different route with its crunchy snares, moaning murmurs and fuzzy effects. Spencer Parker rounds things off with a remix of his own, chopping up the original’s vox whilst sultry pads join thumping kicks and quivering melodies.

P.Leone - My Lita (Mark Broom Remix 1)

Riccardo Ferri was born in Florence in 1975. Classically trained on Piano and with studies in electronic he has found his place in electronic music.

After some experiences with a rock band in 1994 Riccardo began working with his mentor Stefano (Sandy) Dian in a studio in Vicenza, starting a new techno/trance label called Magnetik.
Gianni Agrey Experimental EP was Riccardo’s first released techno production.
In June 1995 his music attracted the attention of Mauro Picotto, who loved his work and immediately asked him to join him in Media Records, concentrating on a harder concept.

His arrival in 1996 convinced Media to release more underground tracks.
The first record, Mauro Picotto The Test (UND 001), a techno bass-line track, was created for the new label Underground.
The team was made by Riccardo, Mauro, and another musician Andrea Remondini. Guest producers, including the best techno/trance Italian DJs such as Mario Più, Gabry Fasano, Joy Kitikonti, Ricky Le Roy, Bismark, Saccoman, Tony H and some foreign djs like DJ Gee, Simon Foy and Marco Zaffarano, came in weekly to work on their projects…

Riccardo’s productions gained worldwide consensus with the release of Lizard in 1998 and the follow up releases such as Pulsar, Iguana, and Komodo.
He was in most cases more inclined towards the b-side mixes to give a more underground feel to the productions.
Riccardo was co-author of lot of BXR,Underground and Sacrifice releases between 1996 and 2001…

In 2002, Riccardo and Mauro left Media Records to focus more on their productions. They went on to create Bakerloo, incorporating Meganite and the label Alchemy.
After having released the Alchemist EP on Primate Recordings, their new imprint Alchemy brought further major releases…

In the following years, Riccardo became more and more interested in creating a live performance. He starts remixing his own tracks live using Mixer, sampler and some synthesizers.
The LIVE show, already a success in Italy, was exclusively launched in the UK @ Gatecrasher on the 25th of May 2002 at the Republic. Further appearances at Gatecrasher London (UK), Gatecrasher Summer Sound System (UK), Creamfields (Ireland and Ibiza), Timewarp (DE), Mysteryland Festival (Holland), Godskitchen (USA), Godskitchen Global Gathering (UK), Coloursfest (Ireland and Scotland) and Mayday Poland, gave his name recognition amongst clubbers and djs alike.
Other performances saw Riccardo bring his live set to Zurich, Bern, Los Angeles, Bogotá, Barrenquilla, Cali, Medellin, and Quito amongst others.

In the summer of 2004, Meganite landed a weekly residency in Privilege, Ibiza. The closing party live set marked the end of the live concept used until then, due to major wear to the machines through frequent travelling.
This gave Riccardo the idea for a new concept of live performance and he began programming a custom live machine made with Native Instruments Reaktor, used for the first time at Timewarp 2005.
The latest update of his Livemachine includes also a custom made controller using the Ipad tablet…

Production wise, Riccardo continues to be responsible for a large number of production and remixes released on Alchemy and many other respected labels such as Drumcode, Material, Suara, 100%Pure, Tronic, Octopus, Alleanza, Polar Noise, Hysterical, etc.. with both solo works and collaborations with other Alchemy artists such as Mauro Picotto, Gabry Fasano and Daniele Papini.
