The next release on Unnamed & Unknown comes courtesy of Romanian artist Robert Onut, with an accompanying remix from Marlon C - Fireball. 

Kicking off the release, the title track 'Fireball' jumps straight into a rolling groove of punchy drums and sizzling percussion. Its pulsating sub-bass adds even more movement to the track, supplemented by quirky fills and vocal chops. This is a terrace tech style track with heaps of character, making it a perfect go-to for setting the vibe. 

Marlon C completes the release with his Remix of 'Fireball', pumping an uptempo persona into the original cut. Another rolling bed of hefty drums and rippling percussive elements provide insatiable grooviness whilst rhythmic sub-bass adds yet more flavour to the mix. The track's melodies bring a summertime feel with uplifting strings and synth lines, whilst its huge vocal topline adds the cherry on top, providing a well-rounded and largely enjoyable dancefloor heater!

Next up on Unnamed & Unknown, rising Spanish talent Oravla Ziur delivers a diverse 6-track EP, including a killer remix from DJ Entwan - Gucci Boy.

'Gucci Boy' opens the release with a flurry of weighty drums and fizzing percs, complemented by a groovy sub-bass and subtle melodics. It's gangsta vocal hooky and supplementary soulful licks add extra character to this rolling terrace bomb. The track also comes with a dub cut, minus the vocal for a more stripped back feel.

Next up, the largely popular DJ Entwan provides his spin on 'Gucci Boy'. Slapping his distinguishable signature on the remix, it features a softer touch with more focus on creative fills, building melodies and stirring energy throughout.

'Blazzer' comes next, with high energy percussive flair from the offset. Rippling layers of rhythmic instruments slice through a combo of punchy drums and a weighty sub-bass. The track's balance of light and dark melodic components make for an interesting journey as it rolls through different moods.

'Gross Bark' slows the tempo a little with a tougher approach and more swing. Another track with limitless layers of movement - brought together by crisp drum work, pulsating bass and light melodies. Adding even more character to the track are an endless supply of quirky samples and vox.

Completing the release, 'Spark The Sex' cranks the tempo back up and heads deep into the realm of peak-time terrace rollers. An energetic bed of drum work and more blistering percussive showmanship make the perfect match for its groove-driven bassline, offbeat fills and vocal chops.

Our next release comes from Kenpo Records frontman Antonio Grassia as he makes his NoZzo Music debut with two blistering Tech House heaters. We also call in fellow countrymen Proudly People on remix duties for 'Thursday'.

Kicking things off, the title track 'Thursday' rolls on in with intent and vigour. Laced with Funk-inspired sampling and soulful licks, its blend of perpetual drums and crisp perc construction brings an energetic terrace-ready feel. Subtle harmonies and progressive grooves build throughout the track, keeping you in a stir from end to end.

Hammering in their unmistakable sonic individuality, Proudly People come to the table with a punchy remix of 'Thursday' that will have you on your toes. Chugging grooves and sizzling hat sequences rebound off layers of instrumental constructions, carving out a punchy and movement-invoking peak time cut with limitless energy. 

The release closes on 'Pittino', a driving Tech House stomper with more high-octane Funk & Soul influence. A contrasting balance of potent and raucous main segments - crammed with danceable drum work and movement - and creative solo builds, centring around wildly creative sampling arrangement and climactic peaks. Another standout record with a big-room feel!

Antonio Grassia's 'Thursday' EP is out on 26th November 2021 on NoZzo Music.

For the next edition of our compilation series, we invite a slew of label friends and newcomers to supply the winter warmers with an impressive collection of dancefloor heaters to shield you from the bitter cold and keep you grooving.

Opening the release, Oravla Ziur’s ‘Left Right’ kicks things off with a pacy and percussive-led jam. Driven by bright synth leads, its progressively rising energy combines with danceable grooves and steering vocal layers to put you on your toes.

‘Bomboclap’ comes next as Kevin York turns in a nonchalantly stripped back record with prominent low-frequency emphasis. A bed of instrumental elements create movement between strong sub-bass notes and heavyset kick drums, carving out an exquisite roller.

MrT & Simov join up with Gustaff on ‘Sex In The Morning’. An undeniably groovy affair with a terrace feel. Punchy drum work meets tonal percs, whilst subtle harmonics and a vocal lead ride gently in the background, leaving you in a swaying trance.

‘Cornerstone Of House’ follows, with Joseff Jones showcasing a bass-heavy melting pot of driving sounds. A sturdy base of beats and rhythmic flair collide with sensual vocal chops and a huge bassline for a certified dancefloor mover!

Dec Hails’ ‘Radio Contact’ is next up, bringing a pulsating array of lightly bouncing factors. Tonal toms slide in and out of crisp hat grooves and hefty drums, dissected by gentle synths and softly rising strings to keep you gliding from end to end.

R Federick & Guti Legatto’s ‘Abre Caminos’ take things for a tribal-inspired minimal twist, focusing heavily on hypnotic tones and late-night moods. Primal energy and mesmerizing melodies will keep you firmly fixed under its enchanting spell and sirenic grip.

‘Maker It Party’ follows as Cardozo pumps you full of main room rolling gusto. Built around hooking sub-bass and creative vocal constructions, its energetic bed of drums and percussion round off a largely-appealing peak time cut.

Cristian Rosso’s ‘Token’ brings the VA to a close with a progressively building groove tool. Incrementally adding layers of movement and melody, the track’s perpetual energy offers a captivating ebb and flow from start to finish.
