ltd to 300 copies , highly anticipated by both fans and music critics, fossil archive 003 is a blanket of techno adulation, full of sky-high feeling through its warm and expansive energy. ‘perisphinctes’ which received a radio exclusive on b.traits’ bbc radio 1 show in august, marks itself as part of the vanguard of modern techno. purposely incompatible with the masses, it clearly lends itself to the underground, pushing its charisma in the direction of the label’s earthy vociferation. with its driving montage, its monolithic kick and general depth, it holds its own in any given setting. evoking a weighty hospitality of sound, ‘tiziani’ supplements bleak with feel-good synth exertion. straying from the conventional framework of techno, this is a stripped back, atonal portrait of effectual techno culture. without confusion, this unblemished and wholesome howl of voice brings with it a rich, affable buzz, perfectly suiting both the big room and more intimate homely surroundings. for roberto, this far-reaching release imposes on none and invites all to clinch its hauntological embrace, and with previous releases gathering support from the who’s who of techno, it’s sure to do just that.

roberto capuano releases his first single on truesoul with two exceptional tracks that show a techier side to roberto s sound and one that impresses throughout. the title track never stop has been a highlight in adam beyers sets and its easy to understand why. the creeping vocal and driving drums are an inaugural part of the track before the uniquely pleasing pads drop in and create a gripping and immersive track to get lost in. around is a techier track that implements a throbbing underlying bass line that sits and keeps the track driving under a roaring vocal.

for the second release on robertos new fossil archive imprint, he teams up with artforms jamie anderson. technology is fine, but music production is a human thing. a social thing

his music is like a waterfall on house – organic, constantly running,sparkling and fresh.it could be the background tune for magazine beauties in st. tropez,it feels like a drive through californian valleys,or it may as well be the soundtrack tune for a full moon party on the greek islands - yes, it might indeed just be the result of many a club year. just as well, however, we can look at it as some sort of a flip side to those busy and dark times of dull and hard work back in the days, something to simply relax andm make you smile, after a hard days work, with a cigarette in one hand and a smooth drink in the other… imagine a piece of roxy music, a dancefloor in northern italy - some time in the late 80s - and joe smooths promised land.see what i mean?you picture this?well,in that case you have a pretty good idea of robertos serenades style.the original version of tell me feat.kholi is taken from the upcoming album dawn.

roberto clementi hails from a small town on italys east coast somewhere between riccione and rome. he is much more of an inventive sound designer as opposed to an average music producer. his tunes range from deep and lush to uplifting and party-pumping - often fueled by minimal subby basslines, retro-ish melodic elements, elegantly cut-up vocals, and an overall warm, analog feel. he currently has releases and remixes on labels like unfoundsound, monique musique, distric raw, undercut, stolen moments, manual music, kompass musik, suara, greel pound, sk supreme, and others. he is also one-half of i-rob alongside roby dj, and they have releases on labels like autist, tenax recordings, clasque musique, and others. his debut ep for steadfast features 3 techno trax ranging in mood and atmosphere but all sharing a perfect dancefloor sensibility and top-notch production. brendon moellers reshape aint half bad either.

roberto cravallo has been hooked on vinyl since he bought his first 7inch at a flea market 1976. he made first steps djing in 1977 doing some dj performances at a sunday afternoon tea dance by using lenco lc 75 turntables. the edits he has produced for >solid disco gold< are extracted from and influenced by his enormous record collection that he has accumulated over the last 30 years. and he is still diggin the crates at carboot sales and second hand record stores today!

roberto auser drops a massive disco bomb on the label that gave us all the early coca disco classic, the magic mixed up the hague mixes from i-f and many other timeless releases. this is one of the highlights of i-fs dj sets in the past months and it just had to come out on vinyl. highly explosive!

raf pisani and marco conte, aka audiomatiques, have long been involved in techno but its since they began working together as audiomatiques that everything began to click. together with roberto capuano, an artist who has already released for loose, claque musique, monique musique and suara, the duo have delivered 3 sterling tracks, which are backed by a remix from rino cerrone, for loose. cerrone takes full advantage of his position as label boss and places his remix of >so bad< in pole. its a walloping but low slung affair riddled with hypnotic rises and false drops which build incredible tension. in original form, >so bad< is a pounding affair. the focus is centred around an unholy bass heavy kick with just the minimum of percussive flourishes and vocal effects doing the rest with aplomb. >mind trip<, while equally as heavy, is fluid and slick. swinging tribal vibes and some clever effects work paired with an airtight arrangement makes for a surefire club burner. finally, the bizarre yet compelling leads of the aptly titled >crazy synth< close proceedings with a fever-dream fervour. original and memorable, this is a genuinely anthemic cut.

da hat er mal richtig den gaiser raus hängen lassen. robertos neue ep erinnert doch stark an alte minus-zeiten. super arrangements und tolle grooves. und ab in den warenkorb...

if it is about contemporary house music, there is no way of avoiding the northern djs & producers. first and foremost with roberto rodriguez aka manolo, who has shaped his personal funk infected old-school vibe over the last years and helped the house revive without forgetting from where it came from. his future beat investigators strictly followed the detroit heritage and his acid kings membership gave us lust for the roland tb 303 again. the bermuda project came back to cosmic again and had more than an impact on the nu disco styles. it is his pertinent mix of soulful, funky & functional dancefloor and his his effective productions who convinced the tastemakers worldwide and prepared his ground for top notch releases on labels like compost, 2020vision, freerange or delusions of grandeur and remixes for acts like yoko ono, tigerstripes, jay shepheard, the timewriter, marmion, crazy p, bellringers or vanessa daou. now the time has come for his own platform called serenades, featuring the manolesque ep - for those who like it deep, down & funky!
