JOSH MILAN

Finally a house album with some real songs and not the classic formula in the arrangements. Some real beauties here from the great talent of Josh Milan, but i'm all over the Sandra st. Viktor song 'Yourself': will stay in my set for years :-)

SASSY J

I've been recently in Basel to play for the great Stadtmusik festival, hosted by Livingroom fm and Sassy J. I know Judith for years [since the AFAO crew time!!!] and she always pushed the astro funk vibes in Switzerland. You can check her Patchwork nights to hear the latest futuristic beats and see her latest clothing creations [here Ninja Tune's Andreya Triana on modelling duties] on her website: www.sassyj.net.

WIEN

Once again I'll have the pleasure to spin some records with Dego. This time I'll witness his first appearance in Wien, for the joy of Claus and the whole TLM crew. Expect some real heavyness as the man is touring to promote his bad ass new album! not to miss...

Latin Soul Brothas

The new Ricardo Miranda presents Latin Soul Brothas 'Bomba is Black' ep is out now on Neroli. It's Ricardo's second joint on the label and I'm really feeling this mix of latin jazzy rhythms and deepness, some of my favourite records on our catalogue, with 'Peace and Strenght' being possibly my all time fave! Check out Ricardo sporting the old school Neroli t-shirt by Mat, that we created exclusively for Izumi san few years back...

M360

With the revamp of the Neroli label and the new vynil releases to print, I choose to work with M360 as the main designer. A man of many talents he is now worldwide known as Vice, dj Native, Vitz, M360 and so on...whether he is designing clothes, spinning ill songs at space parties, drinking us out in Verona or serving killer label art like in this case, he is always unique! I found from the archive a rare picture where he is not drinking perrier jouet...

Sadar @ Roots II

Some more outstanding pictures [courtesy of Chicco un1x] from a perfect night!!!

Sadar @ Roots

A couple of pictures from another memorable night @ Roots...Twice warm up and Sadar killer set filled with 45s where so inspiring! Also loved so much Zampera's visuals. A big thank you to Paolo and Andrea for the help! he'll be back soon...

SOUL IN THE HOLE

Once again we have the pleasure of having Sadar Bahar here in Verona to play for us. Again Patrick and the Roots crew will host this event of the highest musical level. If you are sick, like me, of all these boring loops and re-edits and djs who were once playing house, then minimal and now they turned into disco experts, come to experience the Real Thing!

BLACK AROMA

If you like your music soulful these Black Aroma edits by dj Twice are definetly essential. I know I know, more edits you might think, and I agree I cannot stand either these millions of edit twelves floating around, BUT this series is different for sure in the choice, sound and ethics. And if you are around Verona check the Roots club where dj Twice drops these and more...next dates: 19th march Paradox, 2nd april Sadar, 16th april Theo Parrish!!!
