Milanese dream team, Volantis & Matisa combine like rocket fuel to bring you four fantastic original tracks: Notte Paradiso EP, available on Permanent Vacation 10th May.

When Matisa met Volantis at Somewhere Festival in Calabria, they quickly realised they were on the same sacred mission - to continue the legacy of Italian electronic music. Their synergy in the studio was incredible. Art flourished effortlessly, transforming seamlessly into 2022’s superb Amore 93. 

Inspired by legends such as Roby J, Farfa, and Miki the Dolphin, Volantis and Matisa have once again picked up the baton of 90’s Italo house... and ran with it straight into 2024. So, join them on their journey into a night of paradise (Notte Paradiso).

The first chapter in your sonic adventure is Incantesimo. Matisa’s ethereal vocals call you into another dimension. Oberheim arpeggios and driving Moog basslines dance down the Italo brick road where they meet the wickedest of guitar riffs. You start to realise just how much you have needed this kind of music in your life.

The start of chapter two - Notte Paradiso, is beautifully tapped out on a Roland JD800 pad. Just when you think you know where Volantis is leading you, Matisa whispers ‘Notte Paradiso’ softly in your ear and pulls you straight through the looking glass. You choose the red pill. Suddenly in front of you are two duelling Moog basslines, spurred on by a crowd of distant, indecipherable voices in this vast kaleidoscopic colosseum.

Pull on your spacesuit for chapter three. These are the voyages of the Starship Galassia Sentimento. The joyous guitar riff synergises with the overwhelming rhythmic groove, boldly taking you where no-one has gone before. ARP2600 and Space Echo bringing you to warp speed as you hurtle through Volantis & Matisa’s psychedelic universe. 
 
Back on Terra Firma, SOL is the final chapter of your adventure, the cinematic soundscape and simple, yet substantial groove surrounding you in this dreamy, melancholic finale. It’s clear to see why Volantis & Matisa have chosen this masterpiece as their next single, released 26th April.  As you head off into the Sunset, Sergio Leone style, the two leading protagonists played perfectly by Sequenced Synths and Juno Pads. The colours change from azzurro, to rose, to indigo, bringing your sonic journey to a fulfilling, satisfying and happy ending. Ghostly voices of the ensemble cast of Notte Paradiso bid you a fond farewell as you walk with Volantis & Matisa towards vanishing point. 

As the credits roll, who knows where the road will take you next? Stay tuned for the next thrilling episode of the sonic adventures of Volantis & Matisa.

In the liminal space between consciousness and dream, where analog warmth meets mythological spirits, emerges *Yokai Parade EP* - a transcendent collaboration between Italian producer Volantis and Japanese artist Hiroko. This four-track journey, available on vinyl and digital formats, captures the moment when ancient Japanese folklore materializes through contemporary electronic music.

The genesis of this unique project lies in a profound studio session where Volantis' hardware sketches met Hiroko's supernatural narrative. Drawing inspiration from her psychedelic experience in Kobe, where passing trains summoned Yokai through her window, the EP weaves together reality and myth through carefully crafted sound design and haunting vocals.

The production brings together classic and modern synthesizers, with co-composer Niccolò Barozzi adding melodic layers that enhance the mystical atmosphere. From warm analog tones to ethereal digital textures, each sound was chosen to serve the storytelling, creating a perfect balance between dance floor energy and folkloric mysticism.

On the A-side, "Yokai Parade" embraces darkness with Hiroko's Italian narration guiding listeners through a mysterious underworld, punctuated by authentic Japanese train announcements calling forth these ancient spirits. Eden Burns' remix transforms this nocturnal journey into a hypnotic, percussion-driven ceremony that pulses with primordial energy.

The flip side introduces "La Kappa," where Hiroko embodies the playful water deity, her accented Italian floating over dreamlike sequences. Fabrizio Mammarella's Italorama Version reimagines the track through the lens of classic Italo disco, its throbbing bassline and celestial atmospheres bridging the gap between Mediterranean discoteques and Japanese mythology.

This release isn't merely a collection of tracks - it's a cultural séance where electronic music becomes the medium through which spirits of the East dance with rhythms of the West. Each element, from the synthesis to the multilingual vocals, serves to blur the lines between traditional folklore and modern dance music.
