Apiento & Co follow up their 7” for Claremont 56 with a new 12” for Leng. This again has lush, mellow ibizian mood about it but could work wonders on the dancefloor late at night. The slow arpegiated groove leads us into a hooky piano with the strings and then a lovely piano solo drifts along and completes the package. Pete Herbert turns it round and aims straight for the dancefloor in true disco Herbert style.
For the fourth release on Maxi Discs our Italian friends Ajello jump on board and deliver a red hot slice of feel good House music. Hot July reminds you just how important the piano driven Italian sound was in the development of House. Fusing disco elements with Italo influences, Ajello producers Luca Roccatagliati and Fabrizio Tavernelli have produced a dancefloor bomb that has been ripping up dancefloors worldwide. This is just irresistable dance music! On remix duties, label owner Pete Herbert strips the track down further, chunks it up with a killer bassline and adds a more UK House feel to it, which brings to mind seminal 90s house tracks like ‘Symphonic Tonic’. It’s a 100% dance floor groove. And finally, producer of the moment Marius drops a mighty version that blends his love of Euro and Italo sounds perfectly with a heavy NY House influence.
