Michael Ferragosto – It’s Real This Way [BLAMED002]
Four acid-filtered, metal disco killers from the enigmatic Michael Ferragosto, gear to keep that Chicago Muzique shit alive and well. Hear from the horse’s mouth: ‘Man…this is the pure shit… pure house experiments are the only motherfucking thing that sounds real these days on the floor – know what I mean’.
Marcello Napoletano presents Anthony Parasaula – The Damned Sounds Of Parasaula EP [MM011]
Marcello Napoletano mind must have been on a thin line between genius and madness when producing this sick EP. 5 nasty soulful tracks full of energy and FunKyNeSs. He definitvely continues to transport the old spirit of Moto Music.
Robert Crash – Edonism [DIN012]
Dog in the Night staple Robert Crash gets back at it with a new EP of house madness. The Italian producer once again shows us why he’s the boss, clocking in with another four tracks of acid fueled beaters. Off kilter beat tracks that are sure to get the tweakers in a frenzy, this is what house is and should be.
Michael Ferragosto – Kill All Criminals [DIN011]
Michael Ferragosto is back on Italy’s own Dog in the Night label with four new twisted psychedelic house cuts.

Marcello Napoletano – The Neroli EP [NERO031T]

Marcello Napoletano Presents Ra Toth and the Brigantes Orchestra – Introspettivo EP [BH025]
The last time that Marcello Napoletano flew this far off the radar was on Jamal Moss Mathematics label back in 2012. Now the follow up release comes on another outsider label, Berceuse Heorique and again, Napoletano treats the listener to another freeform selection. While the Italian producer’s house grooves have always been unconventional, going all the way back to Listen In Dreaming, this is in a whole different realm of weirdness. “Introspettivo” kick starts the release with doubled up beats and mad percussive whirrs and clicks and deranged cowbells. “New Old Think” goes in a jazzy direction with sax squalls fused with Patrick Pulsinger-style atmospherics and “Sunplasemood” ends the release with dubbed out beats and space invader bleeps.

True to form beating Chicago jack tracks, twisted acid cut ups, and slam dancing warehouse grooves that will get the pit started at your next jam.

Kinda Soul Recordings is back with a 3 track ep featuring Chet, Mnks (a project by M.Napoletano & Ksoul), Isoul8 & K.Tatham. “Strings of love” by Chet is an obscure sexy house track done in Dresden. “Collapsing Machines” by Ksoul & M.Napoletano is a sinister jazzy industrial track produced live in one take only at Marcello’s studio a couple of years ago trying to explore many sides of our musical taste. The b-side feature an awesome unreleased track by the reverend Isoul8 & Kaidi Tatham on keys.

Jack Curtu – Senza Via D’Uscita [LXRC009]
In Italy’s deepest south, where summer sun is harsh and burns you at midday, sweat is real. You can smell, taste and feel it. It’s cold sweat. From constant fear, that haunts people in the dusty streets like shadows. Some say, it’s only paranoia. But you can’t deny the kidnappings, the stick-ups and the killings. Police is doomed to watch, hands cuffed, since the power lays in the hands of others. Who are they? They are invisible. You can only see the bloodshed and the tears. And like everywhere else in the world: violence is always calling for more violence. This is the life of Jack Curtu. And his music takes you there. Three slices, each unique in style, yet united by human rage, misery and desperation. Senza via d’uscita – there’s no way out!
Marcello Napoletano pres. Ra Thout / The Brigante’s Orchestra – Born Free In The Land Of Nobody [MATH058]
Hot stuff Macello Napoletano dons his new guise as Ra Thout & The Brigante’s Orchestra but keeps loyal to his firm and releases on Mathematics. Anyway, Ra Thout is a totally different animal, frantic and aggressive, littered with raw electronics and tape saturation. “Catastophic Event” is an apt title for a rabid track that drags a multitude of squeals and sine tone abuse through rough drum box percussion and a fast, unrelenting tempo. “Man From Messapia” rides on a similar tempo but gets a bit funky, with filtered hooks and flanging pads. Deep, tech-funk with what sounds to me like a crazy vocoder line going absolutely off-it through the track. “The Man Who Can Do Anything” is a low-slung chugger with quite organic percussion and a subby bass. Breaking delicately through the mix is a wonderful lead flute line which contrasts well against the sludgy groove. “Terra Tra Due Mari” is totally nuts, mangling a free-jazz workout against jagged guitars and ridiculous amounts of bass. Hard to pin down, and quite unlike anything else but imagine some of Madlib’s Yesterdays New Quintet work being tweaked by Jamal Moss then mixed and mastered into some aggressive psychedelic B-side and you’re halfway there.
Marcello Napoletano – Spring In Cry EP [HM005]
