A new guest mix by Donato Epiro and Gaspare Sammartano, who run @canti_magnetici, the South Italian label already featured in the February episode. This special broadcast has been programmed in response to Holy Week, as it includes traditional funeral music from the Holy Week processions in Taranto.

In 2022, on Holy Friday, Canti Magnetici released a tape entitled Musica Lacrimosa, not credited to any artist. Behind this title, which references the text of the Stabat Mater, lies a collection of funeral marches from the tradition of their hometown, Taranto, performed by band ensembles during the processions (Misteri) commemorating the passion and crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

At the time, the label offered no information about the music on the tape, limiting itself to a mention of Taranto, a photograph of the city’s port after the bombing on the night between 11 and 12 November 1940, and the recording date, 1974. It was their clear intention that the work not be perceived as an archival or documentary project. Instead, they hoped listeners would focus solely on the profound drama of the compositions and performances, somehow sounding equally remote and existential due to the nature of the procession marches and the now-deteriorated medium: an amatorial tape of field recordings, whose author remains unknown.

Today, they are presenting the work in an expanded version (which includes 45 minutes of tape recordings and a newly composed 15-minute piece) to share the sadness and sense of inadequacy that, as musicians and curators of an independent record label, they deeply feel in these historical times. Donato and Gaspare hope to create an occasion for reflection: How should art respond to the despair of the present? Especially as we live in a society increasingly accustomed to ever-growing self-referential, individualistic, hedonistic, promotional, and empty-hearted ways of life.

Listening to the decayed remnants of these old funerary compositions becomes for them a way to ponder on who we are as humans and where we continue to go wrong.

Providing more prolific dance floor energy this winter are Italian house pushers Black Box Records, a carefully curated VA of feel good vibe from producers Ruff Stuff, Floska, label founder Vito Fattore, and the eclectic sounds of, DJ GLC. Available on vinyl this Oktober.

Kicking off proceedings is Berlin based Italian, Ruff Stuff. A killer cut, with ice cold drum arrangement which becomes one with the playful chords which propel the energy of the ‘Son Of Will’ track, the female vocal sample sprinkled in for some added pleasure. Young Italian trio Floska deliver ‘Get Up & Dance’ dreamy and mellow sounds on a lo-fi tip, almost seven minutes of pure bliss.

The brain behind Black Box,Vito Fattore, steps up for the B1 as any leader should. Clinical dance floor moods, laced with emotion. Magical pads and synths work their way around the funk laden body of the track, explosive summer time feelings. Switching things up for the closing track is DJ GLC, with a deeper and darker energy than the other three track. Aptly entitled ’Suspense’ mechanical whirrs carry the track, as broken drums burst through the seams of the record. A trip through murky waters that compliments the EP in great fashion.

Another display of zestful house music from a blossoming label, sure to be a winner with tastemakers and groove explorers alike. One to watch out for in the coming periods as Black Box Records continue to supply you with what you need.
