Juno Records Review:

Edoardo Barbi is an alias of Gledd, the label head at Saint Wax, co-owner of Radio Mundo Records and a prolific producer who hails from Italy but is based in Mexico City. For this new EP, he taps into his love of 70s church funk and classic gospel and serves up a quartet of emotionally intense cuts that each tell a unique story. They all have their own moods and subtly uplifting grooves and are defined by the famously meticulous production style of Gledd. When you want to make the dance floor move in a different way than usual., these four cuts should be your go-to.

Gledd teams up with Cacao Records very own head honchos, KEENE, for their debut collaboration, Ma Elle. This Afro House gem is a fusion of traditional and modern sounds, radiating with an afrofunk vibe thats both infectious and deeply rooted in rhythm. The track is driven by groovy guitar riffs, funky vocals, and a vibrant brass ensemble, all layered over a thumping bassline that pulses with energy. The blend of organic elements with electronic touches—like crisp drums and sleek synths—brings a fresh, contemporary edge to the production, making Ma Elle a standout addition to the Cacao Records catalog.

"WAR IS NOT THE ANSWER" - JOHN LENNON & YOKO ONO
Stop The Geonocide In Gaza!
The Hamas led terrorist attacks against the innocent people of Israel on October 7 2023 were horrific and unforgivable.
The genocide of the innocent people in Gaza is also horrific and unforgivable.
I believe it is possible to stand with the people of Israel and with the people of Gaza.
I stand against the warmongering tactics of Netanyahu, just as I stood against the warmongering tactics of the Bush administration after 9/11 and the Holocaust and Pearl Harbor and Hiroshima and on and on and on...
I believe we can stand for Peace in the Middle East without hatred for the innocent people of Gaza and the innocent people of Israel. Hate and violence is unacceptable.
I love my fellow Americans and my country, even though we have had men in power who have done things that were horrific and unforgivable.
I believe the only path forward is to stop blaming each other for the despicable acts of the people in power. I have hope that we can have compassion for one another regardless of where we were born or what religion we believe in.
I have discovered this peace and love connection on the dancefloor. People of all ethnicities and beliefs dancing together as one. That is why I am so heartbroken for the innocent victims that were terrorized at the Nova Festival...but that is no excuse to give up on LOVE or to give up on PEACE.
I will always keep dancing...Please Enjoy!

Djuma Soundsystem presents Iziki Show 071 guest Gledd

Were thrilled to announce the third release of the year from the talented artist Gledd. The EP, titled What I Mean, showcases Gledds refined approach to groove-heavy, functional club music. Stripped down to its essentials, the track builds around a hypnotic main synth and a solid rhythmic foundation, perfectly crafted for the dancefloor. On the B-side, Makossa Lake dives into deeper, more organic territories. Featuring enchanting female vocals and rich wind instrumentation, the track flows with a soulful energy inspired by its namesake—Lake Makossa, a serene body of water in Cameroon. Here, Gledd fuses afro-inspired textures with contemporary electronic production, delivering a lush and emotional counterpart to the A-side. Together, both tracks reaffirm Cacao Records commitment to warm, rhythm-driven music that bridges cultures and moves bodies.

Edoardo Barbi or GLEDD is an Italian DJ, producer, and label head whose music fuses disco, funk, soul, afro and latin grooves into warm, organic house. With deep family roots in music - his grandfather was a jazz musician - GLEDD grew up surrounded by soul, rock, and electronic sounds that shaped his eclectic style. After spending several years in Mexico City, where he launched the Makonga party series, he returned to Europe, continuing to expand his global vision. He is the founder of Saint Wax, co-owner of Radio Mundo Records, and a curator of grooves that balances retro vibes with fresh energy. His releases include the soulful Behind a Cloud EP (2021), the gospel tinged Get Back EP (2024), and recent singles Idinga and No Fight for Us (2025). Known for his meticulous yet instinctive production, GLEDD blends acoustic instruments, vintage-inspired textures, and contemporary rhythms, always guided by a simple ethos: play what feels right. GLEDD is without question cementing a reputation as a boundary-pushing artist redefining modern house.
