napoli techno from domenico crisci on coloured vinyl.

limited vinyl edition, 200 copies only.

after releasing records on l.i.e.s. and its offspring russian torrent versions labels, caserta (close to neaples, italy) native domenico crisci quickly rose to prominence among purveyors of timeless techno. a third record on eerie cemented his reputation as a careful engineer of effective, crafty dance floor cuts that comfortably sit next to early works of the genre’s pioneers.
august of 2016 sees domenico’s sonic determination surprisingly rematerializing on silent servant, regis and james ruskin’s jealous god label with a new, strong ep crowning the distinct quality of this limited series.
through such particular path domenico got inspiration to start his own summa cum laude label project, where his most forward thinking works and brand new, surprising talents will have the first chance to get properly published.
domenico himself is inaugurating the label by “the violinist” ep, including 3 peak-time techno tracks anticipating the strongest emotive intensities, carefully finalized by the valuable experience of a mastering engineer like matt colton. to visualize domenico s particular, straightforward sound, we’ll find the kind intervention of the neapolitan artist mariangela levita.

with jealous god, eerie and l.i.e.s on his c.v. they don t come much more approved that domenico crisci, but few would be prepared for the onslaught that leaps out of this first release on summa cum laude. the violinist champions distortion as a weapon, running everything through a fuzz pedal in a most unrelenting of fashions. its certainly not for the feint-hearted, and all the more powerful with it. meanwhile return would sound brutal in any other context were it not for what came before, all slamming, grubby drums and the noises that splay off them. blacklord them manages to push the vibe further back into the red with a searing throwdown to finish the ep off in a masterful display of intensity.

black vinyl 12 inch + insert.

after 2 blinding releases on lies and russian torrents, the italian uprising techno producer domenico crisci lands on fellow italian marco shuttles label eerie with some serious, 909 driven, stripped down techno biz. no matter how pretentious it might sound these are tracks that gravitate quite comfortably in a mills-esque kind of orbit but they somehow also remind of early downwards brutal material. label boss marco shuttle features in the ep with a remix of one of the tracks (lash) bringing the original into a more broken, abstract and dark (of course) territory.

next leyla v/a release with tracks from remco beekwilder, grindvik & onscreenactor, casko and domenico crisci.

early production by crisci mauro and marino stephano. including new version by shadow child.

high energy v/a compilation from sacred court.

6 artists & tracks, describing the soul of summa cum laude.

dark industrial edged techno. a various artist ep with stomping 4 to the floor material and serious breakbeat chaos. brace yourself and drop everything you are holding. the vinyl comes with a sticker of the labels iconic logo.

voitax returns with the label s ninth release - four cuts of stark, futuristic techno. bringing together throbbing, hard-edged funk and tripped-out sound design, run your mouth is both a unique, and timeless take on the industrial techno sound, and one that is guaranteed to decimate the floor. early support by mondkopf, ancient methods, domenico crisci, sawf, samuel kerridge, december, makaton, umwelt, kwartz, stephanie sykes, lag, ontal, absl, unhuman, max durante and many more.

one of italy’s brightest new talents, clap! clap! (aka cristiano crisci) returns with his second album for black acre, following on from his colorful breakthrough debut lp ‘tayi bebba’. bringing together disparate inspirations and styles onto the dance-floor of his mind, ‘a thousand skies’ sees clap! clap! create a high energy and inventive kaleidoscopic fusion of sound – drawing on the traditional global rhythms of the old world, hip hop, footwork, uk bass and house.

long awaited return of the neapolitan imprint informale with the founders random / noize delivering a solid techno ep and hosting a great remix from the talented technoyzer ! -syncope, also known as fainting, is defined as a short loss of consciousness and muscle strength, characterized by a fast onset, short duration, and spontaneous recovery. it is due to a decrease in blood flow to the entire brain usually from low blood pressure. some causes have prodromal symptoms before the loss of consciousness occurs. in phonology, syncope (/&#712,,s&#618,,&#331,,k&#601,,pi&#720,,/, greek: syn- + koptein -to strike, cut off-) is the loss of one or more sounds from the interior of a word, especially the loss of an unstressed vowel. it is found both in synchronic analysis of languages and diachronics. its opposite, whereby sounds are added, is epenthesis-.

here in full chopped up afro-future mode he fuzes the hiss crackle and fuzz of heavy tribal sampling with broad stroke drum programming. the fluidity of time signatures and deft jazz minded drumming gives the tambacounda a woozy and hallucinogenic feel, tracks travelling from deep jungle drama to carnival ecstasy.
