2021 - restful madness - part.2

Bona Sforsa was a 16th-century Polish queen of Italian origin. So much for a little history lesson. Jump a few centuries forward and you'll find Bonasforsa in the studio on the 6th floor of a block of flats in East London. It's the new moniker of Italian-Polish producer duo Rico Casazza and Krzysztof Kozber.

A1 from the upcoming EP!

Furious Frank returns to Butter Sessions with 'Ahora Sí'. The fully fledged house anthem is the result of a cross-continental collaboration with Barcelona based vocalist and producer Ivy Barkakati. 

We're treated to four versions of 'Ahora Sí', all tested and ready for the dance floor and those special moments! Kicking it off, Frank delivers his "Original Acid Mix". A deep, squelchy lurker with nods to late 80's and 90's house music, peaking with thick piano chords and Barkakati's deep Spanish vocals. On the 'Sunrise' mix, the piano and chords become the focus and set the mood for an uplifting journey, bolstered by the raw thump and jack of the drum machines. 

The flip side see's Barcelona based "IVAN" emerge with their version. The duo made up of Ivy Barkakati and Phran of Klasse Wrecks fame slow things down a touch, mangle the chords and inject the rhythm with flattering top-drawer percussion. Vancouver native D. Tiffany rounds the EP off with sub-heavy bass drops, hi-tek rhythms, euphoric vocal slithers and more stingin' acidic vibes. 

Pure and infectious house music for real people!

A1. Ahora Sí (Original Mix)

The end of another year was quickly approaching, signalled by cold, crisp nights and oversized winter coats and wooly hats. The park was covered in autumnal shades of sienna and orange that crunched underfoot as crowds of people made their way through the gates huddled together for warmth. The show was about to start. Gasps and cheers came from the crowd as huge fireworks exploded across the sky, painting the night with sparkling colours of pink, blue and green. It was a beautiful site to behold, a true spectacle.  

Zodiac Childs is gearing up to release his second EP on his own Zodiac Wax imprint, inspired by The UK's breakbeat and hardcore legacy. The three tracker is filled with euphoric melodies, crisp percussion, dusty breaks and resounding subs; mesmerising from start to finish...

PREMIERE: Zodiac Childs - Tears [Zodiac Wax]

Everything that’s happening right now in Australia is terrifying... With so much loss already, increasingly dangerous weather conditions and a useless government there is a lingering feeling of sadness and anxiety in all of us now and for the days to come. Inspired by the ways of others I have decided to use my music as a way to help. Against The Flames consists of 4 unreleased tracks with 100% of the profits going towards the ‘Fire Relief Fund for the First Nations Communities’. Stay safe and to those who can please continue to donate to those who need it.
