An artist who understands groove, Nicola Gavino’s sound echoes vintage flavours with distinct funky and fresh rhythms. His summer has been a busy one, with performances at the likes of Kappa FuturFestival and his long-running residency at Turin’s Audiodrome Club, plus releases on Dennis Cruz and Eddy M’s MÜSE imprint, SOSA’s label COCO, and more. Now, as he steps out on Jamie Jones’ revered Hot Creations for the first time, the Italian talent puts his best foot forward across three peak-time house cuts inspired by the label boss himself.

“The main track was inspired by a video of Kappa's mainstage in 2022 recorded from a friend's phone. Jamie was playing this glitched edit of Sweet Dreams (which I only found more than a year later) which really blew my mind. I watched it so many times that I felt the need to make something myself, recreating and exaggerating that special vibe. The track being. chosen by Jamie himself for Hot Creations is more than a goal and an honour for me; it is about paying respect to a label and a DJ who always inspired me and which I look up to.” - Nicola Gavino

With its sharp synths, feel-good trumpets and deep driving bassline, the spirit of Chicago house is present in opener ‘Givin’ My Love’. Next, ‘Lazer Tool’ offers a more modern minimal sound, rich with percussion and distorted SFX. Closing out the EP, ‘Pump Up’ combines elements from the first two tracks with cutting percussive kicks, warping distorted vocals and a grooving hypnotic bass that’s destined for the dancefloor.

Nicola Gavino ‘Givin’ My Love’ drops via Hot Creations on the 8 th November 2024.

Artur Achziger - Technology (Original Mix)

An established talent currently at the fore of the house and scene, Blackchild lands on Defected with ‘Nothing Better Than Music’. Italian producer Blackchild’s unique sonic often blends his jazz-training with electronic style, delivering cross-genre damagers built for the underground and leading to collaborations with Paco Osuna and St Germain. Further solo releases on Solid Grooves and his own imprint LATEMORNING cemented Blackchild’s status as one of the scene’s freshest names, now landing on Defected with ‘Nothing Better Than Music’. By splicing together several infectious vocal samples, underpinned by funk-laden patterns and synth mastery, Blackchild has created an instantly addictive house record that sounds timeless yet feels vastly modern. Now he follows up the original with a Dub version aimed directly at the dancefloor.
