Peter Grand returns with Venga EP, a four-track narrative built on storytelling pads, evolving percussion, and deep, rolling grooves. Each track unfolds like a chapter — subtle yet dynamic, where rhythm becomes dialogue and textures add emotional depth.

From the first beat, Venga draws you in with percussive layers that feel alive, shifting and mutating as hypnotic pads breathe through the mix. It’s a dancefloor-focused release, but with a cinematic edge — minimal in structure, yet rich in atmosphere.

Mastered by Andrey Djackonda.

The water poured elegantly from the edge of the cliff. The wet rocks were lined with moss and wild flowers due to the damp conditions. As she walked under the falls she looked upwards towards the great blue sky, her mind a million miles away from the problems and stresses that she had left back home. Deep in the jungle she was now very much at ease, the warm humid air which surrounded her was intoxicating and deeply comforting. 

Axefield is next to release on the evolutionary Atomnation record label. Not ones to stand still the label turns its focus towards an up and coming producer with a penchant for deep. dusty house.

Defora Records presents “Take Your Time” the new EP by label founder Manipolato (aka Latino Pellegrini). One year has passed from his last release on the label and now, our main man is back with a bunch of new tracks full of good summer vibes. The title track is a tribute to Manipolato’s underground vocal house background when he was living in New York City lower east side as an active member of the local club scene. Featuring amazing vocals from a well-known house legend (can you guess who?) make sure to prepare your dancing shoes for a soulful journey back in time. The EP also features the Afro House influenced remix by DJ Thor and 2 more original tracks. Always Good Vibes with a Hard Twist!

His discography is also filled with several collaborations and remixes for artists such as Elisa, Anna Cavazos, Ricky Leo and Sound Shapes. In 2015 he founded his own label Defora Records with the main goal to create a growing family of talented artists from around the globe and to release only quality music for the dance-floor.
