The sun set over the bay as the water rippled softly against the boats moored in the harbour. The dying embers of the day were all that offered guidance and vision through the darkness which would soon follow. Cuba was alive and kicking, the streets were crowded as the night began and the sound of music blared and echoed down shadowy streets as shouts and screams reverberated through the night. Let the fun begin..

Now here is an EP which represents just that, fun. A huge club ready monster of a record from Adelphi Music Factory which is destined for big rooms, late nights, outdoor raves and happy people. "Cuba" is our favourite, a shuffle geared piano house colossus. Now that's a recommendation.

Joy & Fantasy

PREMIERE: Adelphi Music Factory - Cuba [Shall Not Fade]

I’m a fan of music. It’s gotta be made with passion, and the music has to have soul, no matter what it is! Got my first pair of turntables when I was 14, started with freestyle & disco in the mid 80s. Then my love for House Music was born in the 90s, incorporating sounds & classic music from my Cuban heritage to sculpt the style & vibe for my sound. 90s House influences, with Afro-Latin  percussion, & groovy baselines is how I would describe my dj sets, & my original music.
