Acid in da House

These were our internal working titles anyway. In the end, it's a big compilation with 21 artists that we don't want to pigeonhole, because it's a big zoo! Thank you to Marcel Kreuzer aka Zoologne for the lovely cover art.

Warm up your nights with the breeze of "Mare Aperto", 
Gropina (@gropina) 's debut for the newly born Paesaggi Records. 
The Amsterdam based maestro will take you on a journey above the Tyrrhenian sea flying on lush pads and saxophone solos standing somewhere between the Chicago piano house and the golden era of Italian clubbing.
Sax on B1 by Alberto Mannatrizio at Grindhouse studio, Tuscany.
Recorded between Amsterdam and Tuscany. Mastered at Maspaventi Studio.

Mare Aperto

Gropina - Mare Aperto (PSGG001)

EAS016 - QVARK

Milan, Italy, 1983. In the midst of the 80’s economic boom, 
which gave an injection of optimism after the heavily political 70’s,
a group of young local musicians meet every night in a basement 
to rehearse and record a peculiar breed of Italian disco music.
Originated from the ashes of various other projects, 
and rooted in the broader jazz-funk tradition,
the group creates music which is equally inspired
by contemporary fusion as well as by the first wave 
of the italo-disco sound. Fast forward 35 years 
and the genuinely mediterranean flavor of Qvark’s 
demo recordings are still enjoyable for the groovy quirkiness 
of a project which has been to long forgotten.
After an intense work of audio restoration of such demo tapes, 
heavily affected by time, Early Sounds is pleased to present 
a compilation which is an important find to define the sound
of late 70's and early 80's Italian club sound.

[EAS016] Qvark - Qvark

There was a prominent sense of urgency as the room began to fill with the dancers and skater types. They moved in amongst one another whilst weaving in time with the mysterious bang of the drum. This was a club rush and it would soon fill the very street outside itself as people congregated from far and wide. Those lucky enough to be inside would stay until the small hours and lose themselves beneath the bounce of percussion and the melodic euphoria which spiralled into the night. 

Hayes & Zeitgeist are set to release an EP on Moonshoe, a melodic affair with a distinguished hint of class and professionalism. This one is warm and a delight to the ears.

Patience Africa - By Hook Or By Crook

Fresh from the Tokyo studio of Balearic wizard Max Essa, comes Barkhan Dunes EP; a collection of exquisite, chilled-out loveliness.

Track List:
1. The Price You Pay (For Loving That Way)
2. Kites at Nemoto Beach
3. Sundowning

Getting support from Dicky Trisco, Marco Gallerani (Hell Yeah!/Balearic Gabba), and Simon Lee (Faze Action).

Opening track The Price You Pay (For Loving That Way) warns of the dangers of careless love affairs. A veritable beach-disco classic in the making; warm, expressive synth rhythms and beautiful clean guitar lines provide an irresistible urge to climb on deck and let your body move. 
Next up, Kites at Nemoto Beach caresses your soul with blissful shimmering guitar and synths, before some David Axelrod-esque choral vocals carry you across the oceans to a new place.
Finally, Sundowning is a sublime slice of low-slung, poolside AOR. As the golden-red sun slides towards the horizon, a bittersweet dubby guitar refrain hints at past troubles, but also carries you forward to an optimistic future.

Barkhan Dunes EP

PAC007 Clips: Barkhan Dunes EP - Max Essa

They ran rampant and wild, unchained ideas which darted around his head like crazed animals and had the potential to overrule any such knowledge amassed through age. Unprecise thoughts, bitter whispers and hideous messages plagued the day by day drivel and he wondered if there was to be any way out. It would require patience and militant skill to outrun the conscious but he knew that he must in order to live amidst the free world. Until then he would be tied and tangled amidst a sea of his own complex confusion. 

Too Smooth Christ is a producer who has moved from strength to strength, channeling niche elements of house music into a luxurious package which makes things tick. A new release on eudemonia delights and intrigues.

PREMIERE: Dircsen - No Sign Of Life

My Friend Dario and Hell Yeah label boss Marco Gallerani continue to develop their renewed friendship with another magical coming together. Many years after they used to make music together, they are now older, wiser, and frankly, better at what they do. And so it is here with Dario continuing to explore his unique electronics, all inspired by the Sicilian breeze. 
Dario is very involved with Catania's underground music scene: he has soaked it up and helped to shape it for many years and always with a warm Mediterranean current gently flowing through his work. His last EP, Calamari Fritti in late 2018, was a real gem, and this new one follows up in style. 
Opener “Prime Luci” is for early evening drinks on a coastal terrace as the water glistens and sun turns red, while “Domenica” is for early evening swaying, with deep disco drums and Casio chords enriching your soul. “Danoy” is a cosmic trip with melodic droplets and shimmering lead synths that melts you over and over again, and “Nonna” is an ambient excursion with a suggestion of menace in the creeping bass synths that keep you on edge. Closer "Monti Rossi Sunday Vibes" ends with slow and lumpy drums awash with wispy pads and cosmic suggestions. 
You might not have been to Sicily before, but after listening to this EP you sure will feel like you have.
