'Lil Pitch Records celebrates its first release with the spectacular collaboration between Ether and Pinch, Bristol's dubstep godfather, Tectonic Recordings founder and resident dj at London's Fabric. Andrea Bracali and Francesco Bigazzi confirm themselves to be among the diamond points of Italy's electronic music scene, developing in a totally original way (their way) already consolidated languages like the ones of idm, abstract hip-hop, downtempo and skwee. The use of samplers and analogue synthesizers is easily recognizable in the three unreleased tracks that compose side A: three tunes of a unique freshness that give Florence's duo the status of sacred cows for how much concerns silicium sounds forged inside Italy's borders. Side B is entirely occupied by the remix Pinch has worked on in an impeccable manner, giving the track those distinctive traces that allowed him to spread his music all around the world. So Beghe (Pinch rmx) turns out to be the ideal bridge between those relaxed/relaxing beats that are typical of Ether and those dark and introspective atmospheres of dubstep, the genre that more than any other has set fire to european clubs during the last decade. Artwork by Mateo Rivano, colombian painter whose singular style has gained the attention of art's reviewers.' [reblogged from LILPITCH.com]

"2 Sessioni Fuori,Una in Casa e Qualcosa da Chiederti" is another 'one track mix', full of 60's/70's Psychedelic Rock from many parts of this World (stuff from Peru, Belgium, Chile, Russia, Portugal, Italy etc.) some obscure, some not. You'll find some Pokora titles mixed up with post-rock tracks (or indie as you prefer to call it) from the end of the 90's/beginning of 2000 and some more recent stuff like OBO (Oshinoko Bunker Orchestra) or Pavel Dovgal. Anyway everything is "handmade", it means hands on vinyl & live mixing, totally uncut stuff, this is the meaning of the title track "2 Sessions Outside, One@Home and Something to Ask..." Nasty Art Cover by my man Pupa "Psicodelico" Tee Don't forget to follow Ragnampiza for other bad ass mixes and radio shows
Here's another killer release from Colossius!!! His second release for 2010 "No Doubt Fare Night" is a 5 track EP, a prelude to the forthcoming album and another example of Colossius' unique style: 13 minutes of pure, warm, analog, crunchy medicine for your ears. Striclty instrumental and for those who love fat warm basslines and punchy drums... just like our peeps at Lo-Vibes Records (jp). The crazy thing about this EP is how Colossius is able to stay within that thin line that separates subtleness from pure strenth giving the widest possible forms of listening....wether you're rockin' with Paolo VI on your headphones or dodging some Donoratic Asteroids while testing out your subwoofers..!.. Straight from the guts...in your face, No Doubt...Fare Night!!
Here's some music from a non-musician! Lo Zac or Low'N'Zak, better known as Simone Zaccagnini, he's actually a visual/drawing artist. His work is all handmade and when his eyes are tired he boots up his old pc and starts messin with samples on an old version of Cubase Sx.. Well the result is right in front of your ears, so play the player and if you dig.. go ahead with the download button cause, yes..."Free'P'Hop" is all free!!
If you feel enthusiastic about this just looking at the cover, you should, cause it's our first SAMPLER!!!!! All music and lyrics and scratches are taken from our individual projects and everything has been produced in the family, from the masters to the artwork. Which is by Simone Zaccagnini while the photos were taken by Alessandro Pace (alessandropeace@gmail.com). All tracks are by Overknights members plus our "outsider" member from Turin Franco Crudo, with his fine scratching appearing on "Nosocomio Tungsteno". You Can now (Sep 2010) download the whole sampler for FREE from http://overknights.bandcamp.com/album/overknights-mini-sampler-0 or by direct link on Archive.org: http://www.archive.org/download/OverknightsMiniSampler2010/Overknights_Mini_Sampler_num_zero.zip EnJoY!!!
Ladies and gentelmen, we ask you not to disturb the sleepwalker. The sleepwalker's synapsis pattern reveals calm and continuos brain function, this pattern should not be disturbed. Everyone knows how dangerous it can be to wake up a sleepwalker, and this could be a hint on what happens on track 5!!
Manuele Atzeni's second album comes straight out of his room (as you can see) appearing as the first release for hometown's newborn Woobo Records!! As we live in a material world, my friends, not all can be free. But luckily, sometimes we're able to give things a decent price and give you the possibility to give us some means and encouragement (at the least!) in order to continue to make music. So if you dig...., show some love and if you can't ....we love feedback too.. it's all good, it's all about the music!!
Manuele Atzeni "Beats For The Sleepwalker", released by Woobo Records on Apr 2010, buy it @: http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/1554230-02.htm
Here's Millelemmi's Eoliade!! Indipendent release, dated September 2009. Two samplers, one synth and Sicily's Eolie. Watch out for the waves and go easy on the vodka & gelsi.. and if you don't know what gelsi are, well.. you can try to google it but it just ain't the same... so you might wanna listen to what it would sound like for now, before booking your next trip to Eolie..
Entirely free and downloadable from http://overknights.bandcamp.com/
