Colossius: "4 ENZO B​.​I​.​G"

Here is the new Colossius' relase. It' a free dowload joint for the first week, and a 7'' vinyl is coming soon.
The guys at Fresh yO Label got mad love, and they show it like this:

"Colossius bends music genres as he he sees fit, yet keeps his unmistakable touch full of silicon drum machines, clinically cut samples and old analog synths.
The set start out with a true hymn of the district where he come from: “Isol8″ that mixes hip-hop’s golden age with chicago juke and an unlikely Japanese rap. Then it’s time for “Volverine” with a rolling funk groove and little commodore styled voices. Next up is “Viale Ready” with its skwee bass, hi hat in triplets and stabs it projects you directly into the UK rave 90′s scene.
If the first part of the ‘e.p. is characterized by areas of soft light, in the second part we dive into a tunnel to a whirl of dark, hypnotic bass. Next is “Kilosa”, a new hybrid of juke and idm,
“Pyrotek” beats intimate flavor that brings us back to “Ether” experience, Colossius’s first band. “Overnait” is where the minimum squeezed funk emerges, seasoned with atomic explosions! Closing is “Bltz Taylor,” a cross between disco funk and alien obsessive mantra."

ETHER - PREJANKA - 12" Vinyl OUT NOW!!!!

'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]
