a year after his debut album viaggi, amsterdam based italian marco antonio spaventi is back with another fine full length statement. entitled -isola sommersa and landing on m>o>s recordings, it follows up after many great eps on the label over the last five years. spaventi has a passion for old school house but always brings it up to date. using hardware tools like a natural extension of his body, he cooks up rugged grooves, nostalgic moods and smoky atmospheres that cocoon you in sound of its own. as well as releasing on other labels like slow motion, secretsundaze, pizzico records and cos mos, he is also an acclaimed production wizard and runs his own professional studio.

ahead of him releasing a full length album on mos in 2016, key label artist marcoantonio spaventi is teasing us with a three track prelude ep. spaventi hails from italy, but is based in amsterdam, and is someone who deals in misty, chicago referencing house sounds that are loaded up with a real sense of analogue jack. as well as on mos he releases on slow motion, most excellent ny and pizzico records, and in summer 2015 he put out a leftfield electro, italo, soundtrack and disco full length, viaggi, that showed he has great range in the studio.

released by pizzico for the first time in 2009 with the moniker -erre-, marco antonio spaventi was one of the most pleasant surprises about what an excellent techno producer can do with his beloved background: italo disco. influenced by soundtrack masters as vangelis, john carpenter and most of all italian maestro s like nico fidenco, pino donaggio, francesco de masi, and appearing in the sky like a laser beam in a post-atomic bronx filmed by enzo g. castellari, the positive first album of ma spaventi called -viaggi- is landing. a real journey into obscure worlds, dirty streets, atomic sunsets, broken hearts and analog feelings, a blessing for your most romantic and cinematic essence. could this folding full length fit the modern dance floors? maybe it could be better for the outcast clubs of a near future: synths atmosphere are sweet and pressing at the same time, the melodies and beats fit together in a succession of deep emotions, the -tape- sounds old school and totally irresistible. pizzico is proud to present ma spaventi s viaggi: nine exclusive tracks for a brand new album, invoking and evoking dusty italo vibes, analog synths and written soundtracks for unwritten movies.

hot on the heels of the last release from francisco in slow motionss new soundtrack series comes this stunning four track release from marco antonio spaventi. while recalling influences as diverse as jan hammer, john carpenter, goblin, giorgio moroder, daniele patucchi, the de angelis brothers and many other legendary (mainly italian) composers from the soundtrack side, these tracks are just as comfortable on the electronic dancefloor and provide a dancing experience every bit as engaging as a listening one. synth-heads, soundtrack afficonados, space-freaks and dance fiends are all set to enjoy this one in equal measure! move fast as copies are limited and demand is high.

ma spaventi, a roman, now based in amsterdam, has been around for a minute, his trio r-a-g (with aroy dee and gijs poortman, a.k.a. gstring) has been recording refined, classicist house and techno on an all-analog kit since 2010. marked by tough drums, swirling pads, and a willingness to veer into pure, beatless ambient territory, their records are formally purist without scrimping on a sense of mystery. spaventis solo work so far has suggested that he may be the tough guy of the bunch.

summer surprises dont come better than this.. 2 versions of a new track from this amsterdam based studio don... refreshing house cocktails with a twists of acid.. tip!

super strong m>o>s deep from this studio master! hes really killing it, this one really shook the ade crowd when aroy dee slammed it in his set there, big italo style jak trax! tip!

to celebrate his mos deep sub label reaching its tenth release, boss man aroy dee has teamed up in the studio with ma spaventi for the labels next release, namely a split 10 inch featuring two tracks: >wrecking< and >mr. floyd<. first up is amsterdams best kept production secret aka marco the doctor spaventi. his >wrecking< is a blisteringly raw house construction with ripping synth lines, delicate hi-hats and slow, crawling kick drums building up to an incendiary, chicago referencing peak where pinging cow bells shooting in all directions. its a bold track designed for maximum dance-floor damage. on the flip, aroy builds in layers. his >mr floyd< is all muted synth growls, clattering percussion and blissful pads. its a tortured deep house track that challenges you before really soothing you, but once the inner beauty is revealed, it really has you under an enchanting spell. another quality release from mos deep, this time on highly collectible 10 inch vinyl.

the army of god sind auf dem vormarsch. herrliche slow-mo-dark-wave-vibes auf diesem debüt-song salvation. auf das original folgt eine neu strukturierte dub-version. spaventi d azzuro liefert ein ausgefeiltes re-make auf dem flip ab - und legt gleichzeitig seine italienischen wurzeln und die Ära, in der er aufgewachsen ist, offen.
