TOTD | June 23'

Is This Hard Groove?

“Dante” is a strong advocate for the modern iterations of Italo. Colourful, intelligent and eccentric, it represents Loose Fit's sound of positively uplifting synth work.

The A1. Dante provides an anthemic homage to late nights at the disco. Nostalgic, gritty and packed full of emotion, Radondo demonstrates his penchant for 80s synths and ear-worm melodies. Whereas 'Dante' deals with heady euphoria, 'Dust' was cut to settle the score on the dance floor. The ominous bass and processed drums provide a siren call to the ranks of Dark disco. Flip over to the B-side, and you can find two Italo heavyweights on remix duty. Whereas Franz Scala delivers a bold and driven club cut with "Dust", Jex Brings back the funk with his playful rendition of "Dante", each idiosyncratic and hella effective in their own right.

Outside of his work under the Radondo moniker, Jimmy Horton is not a man to rest on his laurels. Between time spent composing film scores, running his event night "Tropical Popsicle '', and recording with his band "Truths'', he has managed to find time to move to Berlin and launch his solo project. Lining up 3 EPs for 2022, an appearance on Berlin's infamous Hor radio and support from some of Italo finest, he's already paved the way for a solid year ahead of him.

Lyon-based mainstay Denyl Brook will release his first full-length EP on Happiness Therapy next month. Already a firm favourite of the label through his contributions to the lauded Happy House series, his forthcoming I Wanna EP follows on from two recent appearances on revered UK outfit Shall Not Fade, as he returns to the French imprint in June to gift us four tracks of mood-lifting musical goodness.

Denyl Brook is swiftly becoming one of France’s most talked-about rising talents. Head of his own Silver Step Records, he’s a familiar face at Happiness Therapy, having racked up several productions on the label’s Happy House compilation series over the years. He’s also one of their resident DJs, regularly playing at their parties across his native country and beyond, and has recently landed a solid release on UK-imprint Shall Not Fade. Now, I Wanna acts as his debut solo EP on Happiness Therapy, proving that Denyl Brook is only just getting started.

PREMIERE: Denyl Brook - I Wanna

Written and sung by : Stephanie Rodriguez Marin (Instagram : _annenova_)

Lyrics : 

You got me feeling feeling 
And boy you know it, know it 

It is love ?
What I feel inside?

Never met someone like you
Is the message coming through?
When I tell you the things that I like 

You bring light  to my eyes and I might pretend I don’t mind 
But I need you tonight 


Wanna be the one who makes u feel
Your emotions show that this is real

Oh Oh

Together in our place

Oh oh
Don’t want this night to end 

Oh oh
Can we stay?
Can we stay? 


Used to be the kind of girl
Who never trusted anyone
Needed to make them in my head
But with you is different babe

Like a love song would say
You’re an angel in disguise
We can do this forever and ever 
Forever and Ever

You got me feeling feeling 
And boy you know it, know it 

It is love ?
What I feel inside?



Wanna be the one who makes u feel
Your emotions show that this is real

Oh Oh

Together in our place

Oh oh
Don’t want this night to end 

Oh oh
Can we stay?
Can we stay?

Vesper

exclusive | Velvet Velour - Wave Wizard | MINDHELMET

Portugal-based producer Velvet Velour has quite an impressive musical output on labels such as Butter Side Up, Nuances de Nuit, Welt Discos or Small Hours. Now the artist contributes a six-tracker to Truly Madly's renowned imprint MINDHELMET, a mixture  of House with a deeper and minimalistic twist, nuances of Breaks and UKG and heavy basslines. As on previous outings Velvet Velour brilliantly masters the balance of creating basslines with catchy synth-sound sequences as he implements the latter perfectly clocked in his tracks, so that the tracks' frame smoothly goes over into something special. The before mentioned can strongly be witnessed on the B2, called Wave Wizard as Wave Wizard rightly stands for the moments the Wizard, Velvet Velour, creates when letting the chords flow over that carrying bassline. 

Velvet Velour's EP MINDHELMET 10 will be released soon.

On & On

' Next up on our ‘A UFO’ free edit series is Radondo’s rework of Art Fine’s arcane Italo gem ‘Dark Silence’. Careful to retain the original’s elusive energy, he re-arranges the track's structure to focus on the dark, stormy lows.
 Building to the infectious synth line of the original, Radondo incorporates a few of his signature atmospheric tones and synth arps, culminating in a respectful homage to the brilliant ‘Dark Silence’. '
