GNMR - Amelia, Totalmente Sola

Vinyl-only release sadly, as this new EP deserves to be heard! GNMR is Italian producer Gianmaria Coccoluto and Future Empire is his fifth release since his self-released debut in 2020. Essentially finding his feet, Coccoluto's previous work has explored a range of influences (mainly Techno and House moods) but who knows if this is another step on his sinuous path or if he's hit pay dirt?

The four tracks here are low-key chuggers, built on a groovy beat (some with tom-toms) with vocal snippets woven into the thrum. If you like Tamburi Neri then you'll probably appreciate third track Amelia, Totalmente Sola.

Future Empire EP is out now on Mung Records.

Tamburi Neri - Bolle di Dolore (Off The Meds Remix)

You may remember the last Tamburi Neri EP appeared in my top releases of 2021 so I had high expectations for new EP Bolle di Dolore. In short, their signature style of "deep and tribal" still resounds. But while Barbieri's sexy, spoken-word vocal graces the title track, the combination of these factors doesn't quite reach the same levels of success. And if it wasn't for the superb Off The Meds Remix (of the title track) it may have lapsed into the forgettable.

Out now on Danza Tribale.
