Read My Mind

Pineapple Records welcomes one of the most exciting voices to emerge from the European underground with Ganzo - a bouncing 5-tracker from HLRTY, aka Francesco Cigna. Out the 9th May, Ganzo is a love letter to the club - raw, rhythm-focused, and precision-built for sweaty basements and late night missions.

 

A rising force on the European circuit, HLRTY has already appeared on lineups alongside Ehua, Main Phase, and recently went B2B with the Was A Be for their explosive set at Bunker (Turin) as part of Outlook Festival’s 2025 club tour. He made waves with his Rinse FM guest mix for Pineapple, and has gained tastemaker support from the likes of Piezo, Hassan Abou Alam, and Coido. His 2022 4-track EP RUDE earned critical acclaim across the Milan scene, further cementing his rep as one to watch.

 

Originally from Palermo, Sicily but now based in Bologna, HLRTY represents the next-gen energy surging through Italy’s club underground. As co-founder of the asterisco collective, he’s spent the last few years building a name for himself with high-octane sets and genre-fluid productions that channel UK club sensibilities through an unmistakably Italian lens. Think distorted electro, booming Jersey percussion, rolling breakbeats, footwork workouts and razor-edged UK bass.

 

A chance backstage meeting in Bologna between HLRTY and Pineapple boss Sam Binga led to an impromptu demo swap - and Ganzo was born. These tracks have been a mainstay in Sam’s sets ever since, now ready to tear up dancefloors worldwide.

 

From the kinetic drum flex of the opener to twitchy basslines and speaker-shaking bounce, Ganzo is uncompromising club gear with heart. Built for movement, shaped by years behind the decks, and grounded in a deep understanding of what drives a dancefloor.

 

HLRTY shares:


“This EP came together after a spontaneous chat with Sam Binga in Bologna. It’s raw and unfiltered - made for the club, by someone who lives for the club. There’s no overthinking, just instinct, energy and a search for the right sound. Ganzo means something cool, clever, on point, and that’s the energy I hope people feel in these tracks.”

 

With releases on Burro Studio, asterisco, and now Pineapple, HLRTY continues to carve a path that’s distinctly his own. Ganzo is sweaty, sub-heavy, and bursting with rhythm - an underground record from a producer who knows exactly what makes a crowd move.

 

More on Pineapple Records:

Since their first release in 2019, Bristolian label Pineapple Records, founded by DJ/producer Sam Binga, continues to push the needle with their genre-blurring approach to future-facing electronic music.

With a keen eye for the cutting edge, the label boasts releases from some of the best and most interesting underground artists to do it, including Bianca Oblivion, Bakey, Nikki Nair and Fixate to name a few. With a host of accolades under its belt not least a longlist for Grammy nomination for Bianca Oblivion, Sam Binga and Fox’s Sweatboxx Party EP, a monthly label show on Rinse's SWU.FM channel, and a stage takeover and boat party at this years Outlook Origins in Croatia, ‘fresh, weird and strictly fire on the dance floor’  life just continues to get juicer and more delicious for the Pineapple universe. 

 

Pineapple continues to be a crucial platform for left-of-centre club music with global reach, and with Ganzo, they’ve got another stone-cold essential on their hands.

PREMIERE : HLRTY - TALKINGSH#T

With her EP „LAZY“, PRIMETIMEGABI puts the focus on her roots and presents her musical debut on YUKU in an unexpected way with halftime and doubletime beats that are underpinned by a journey through dreamy nature. 
Produced with machines, the sound of the L A Z Y EP is dominated by bass-heavy kicks, authentic percussions with drive and a laid back coolness.

In keeping with her way of not taking herself too seriously, she plays with rhythms, breaks & melodies that don't lose any energy even though they are partly half-time.

The energy is real - keep it simple.

NEW HIT: Hayter - Hamsters [Clear Memory]

◢SDH004.

} From A Coruscating Hope’s very first sputters of tapping percussion and crackling texture - Skegness, England based producer Dean Grant Collier, known as Grant Deane, weaves a web of hypnotic and mysterious dichotomy. It is a record draped in haze - both cloaked in nuanced and cloudy tones and somehow equally as illuminating and vivid. As the pieces gently unfurl there is a sense of wandering through the fantastic, though at 8 tracks and 46 minutes it is hardly a meander - nor is it brisk. A Coruscating Hope is ostensibly a minimal techno record, albeit one that lurches forward through muted IDM kissed soundscapes; but, it is brimming with life and motion. Taking inspiration from the minutiae of complex emotional scapes as well as brutalist architecture, Grant Deane’s shimmering productions map out an inner journey - a view from a train merging with the commuting occupants’ reflections. 

}} A Coruscating Hope’s tracks are meditations - tone poems where snippets of vocals and carefully assembled snaking synths wind beguilingly around jagged percussion interjections on liquid grooves. At times such as in “The Surfacing Dawn”, “Potential Energy” and say “Stuff Falling” the effect is a warm lull of synaptic agreement, chugging along with grace and poise. At others such as on “With Less of a Jolt Than We Were Braced For” and “Forever Wanting To Be Over There” the effect is more unstable, with dissonant tones mounting and swirling around the groove in a deftly manoeuvred balancing act - one in which the titles themselves give clever hints as to what is causing the mischief - whether they be implied anxiety or yearning.  In this way the record feels intensely personal, concise and yet expansive, moody and yet optimistic. 

}}} A Coruscating Hope, it might therefore be said, is a record poised at the crossroads of listening environment applications: there are a few moments for the adventurous dancefloor to be sure, but much of the record truly lies in a hypnagogic inner space…a soundtrack for contemplative rumination and self discovery.
