Italy’s own L.D.F. makes his debut on Shadow Pressings with a fresh slab of raw, analog funk—pressed strictly to wax and destined for selectors who still worship the turntable altar.

With contributions from Detroit icons, Javonntte, Gary Romalis, & European groove architects Tilman & Böhm, the EP threads classic motifs through a modern underground sensibility—never nostalgic, always alive.[info sheet from distr.]

A1 — You & Me (feat. Javonntte & Tilman)

Crunchy 808s punch through the mix as deep stabs flicker like neon in a fogged-out warehouse. A syncopated analog bassline snakes beneath it all while Javonntte’s and Tilman’s touch elevates the track into a proper late-night mover—raw but undeniably soulful.

A2 — Tribal Dance

A stripped-back, early-90s-house-inspired workout. Drum-machine sweat, looping percussion rituals, and hypnotic patterns built for dark rooms with low ceilings. Pure basement energy—minimal elements, maximum impact.

B1 — The Freaks (feat. Böhm)

Shuffling house drums and a gritty groove define this cut. Simple, repeated stabs lock into a trance-like rhythm while subtle rave accents flash at the edges. Böhm adds just the right shade of tension to keep dancers suspended in motion.

B2 — In & Out (feat. Gari Romalis)

A deeper roller draped in filtered pads and chopped-up vocal fragments. The drums hit with Detroit-born precision while the atmosphere drifts somewhere between smoky after-hours and dream-state house meditation.

B3 — Light Speed (feat. Javonntte)

Closing the EP with an 808-driven DJ tool, this one is pure propulsion. Javonntte delivers his unmistakable vocal flavor—loose, soulful, and charismatic—over a skeletal, high-velocity rhythm. A perfectly stripped finale.

The underground keeps its secrets. Shadow Pressings simply amplifies them.[info sheet from distr.]
