milanese techno visionary maike depas announces his edgy debut ep

italian hard techno dj/producer maike depas announces brand-new 5-track ep

lerosa is dublin-based italian producer leopoldo rosa. the title track ruski combines a rough-cut sampled break with a loose, minimal arrangement of sub-bass and liquid synth pads. on the flip, russell and tempio are deep, moody house explorations, beautifully suspended by shifting sine wave pads and rhodes-like chords. born in rome, leo developed a love of electronic music through italian pop music of the 1980s, before discovering hip hop and acid house. he began djing in the early 90s and in 1995 moved to dublin where he got heavily into darker, deeper electronica and electro by the likes of autechre, drexciya and the extended detroit-inspired musical underworld. leo began producing his own music in 2000, concentrating initially on electro but broadening his range into unconventional house and techno styles. his debut lerosa release was the ‘maike ep’ on dublin’s d1 recordings in 2005. as well as this real soon release, leo also has a forthcoming 12inch on enclave recordings (ireland)
