harry klein records is back. the first contribution comes from giorgia angiuli. born and raised in the deep south of italy, giorgia is a classic example for a inimitable talent when it s about combining different styles of music. either playing live on stage or recording in the studio – her unconventional manner of reception and rendition, same on stylistic as on technical issues, allows her to create unique moments through her music. in this sense her forthcoming ep, named nebula , is a contribution to the multiple diversity which marks the electronic scene nowadays more than ever. it s taking us on a journey through the facets of heart-warming house, straightforward techno, and the fields of intense and dreamy pop, always reminding us of what s really essential in music.

it was very important for me to give a dub-ish colour to this ep and propose something different than what people already know from me.‘pressure feed’ is a tribute to all maurizio’s tracks which i never get bored listening or playing. regarding ‘water flood’, i wanted to produce something simple that stands far from the traditional 4/4 beat. i wanted to make it a break beat on the kick while bringing refined ambiance and atmospheric patches to it. finally, ‘cold atom’ is the result of a permanent rhythmic evolution that embodies the vision i have of an astral trip, both dub and intense.- yakine
