- New artist from the techno hotbed of Naples with some ass kicking minimal gear for Dave Angel s Rotation imprint All three here have the sound of Carola etc down to a tee with some lush synth patterns overlaying big funky basslines and tough tribal drums

Qualiity tech gear from Lars Klein, Umberto Carmignani,WJ Henze, Per Mikael

U Vibes: is a super funky housey-techno monster that would sit perfectly in one of Umeks famous I Love Techno sets. With the finely filtered breakdowns and echoed vocal stabs this is sure to destroy dance floors all over Europe.

Magik Culture: has a much more punchy party groove with the trademark bassline taking on a Donna Summer vibe. The track flies along at a furious pace with a jumpy synth line and tight percussion grooves.

Rhythm Imprint: takes a darker path than the previous two with much heavier percussion. It keeps the heavy bass groove but this time it growls threateningly under the rolling bongo loops.

This is an EP that covers all bases with the more funk edged techno sound and is sure to be a vital tool in any DJs toolbox. Whether its for the end of a night in a house set or at the beginning of techno one, this will be an essential tool for DJs everywhere.
