nicola ratti holds a rich history in the world of experimental and minimalist composition, having released music under his own name on labels such as kning disk, anticipate, preservation, holidays, and senufo editions and in recent times concentrating his energy into his collaborative project ‘bellows’, work which has seen the light thanks to entr’acte records and most recently boomkat editions. his latest solo work ‘pressure loss’ finds ratti at a potential turning point in his musical career, exploring rhythm and tonality with a new vigour, in a way which embraces the fluid and consistently evolving modern world of electronic music, yet still references a history of electronics, limiting his sound palette to work only using the serge and arp modular synthesizer.

der italienische multi-instrumentalist nicola ratti fŸgt sich in die bisherige labeldiscographie mit wunderbarer ambienter musik ein, die am besten als warm & charakterstark umschrieben werden kann. in seiner musik entwickeln gitarre & piano einen zurŸckhaltenden aber stetigen forscherdrang der auch die entferntesten ecken ausleuchtet.

rain text is a new project by giovanni civitenga and giuseppe ielasi. this 4-track ep is the first in a series of records produced using each time a different and fairly limited bank of sounds. giovanni civitenga is a producer from rome, currently living and working in berlin. he has released albums under different monikers on various labels including brainfeeder and huntleys + palmers. in 2014 he started skyapnea, a label and series of broadcasts on nts radio. giuseppe ielasi grew up in the south of italy and now resides in the outskirts of milano. he mostly plays solo, but also in bellows (with nicola ratti) and in duos with enrico malatesta, kassel jaeger, andrew pekler. he has released (short) records on 12k, entr acte, senufo editions, dekorder, error broadcast and other labels and also produces music under the -inventing masks- moniker.

“sway”, a beautiful and groovy instrumental jazz-rock record, is the debut album by sante palumbo, a pianist who grew up musically in the northern italy jazz scene. his ‘bandmates’ - hugo heredia, sergio farina, marco ratti and lino liguori - make palumbo and his orchestra a real supergroup! never reissued on vinyl since its first release in 1973, its unique sound makes it a cult lp, deeply sought after by collectors all over the world. the vinyl release includes a cd-copy of the album.
