Easy To Remember Create a Nostalgic Feeling with Their ‘Got A Botta’ EP

Italian siblings Easy To Remember have not only been running their impressive Unclear label, boasting releases from the likes of Move D and Rick Wade just to name a few, but the pair are quite the production team themselves. With their latest EP 'Got A Botta', Easy To Remember take listeners down the roads of memory lane as the record pumps with the sounds of acid, break beat rave and soulful house.

Niro to Release ‘The P Connection’ EP

Italian producer Niro is set to release his new EP 'The P Connection' on the 3rd of March. Consisting of three tracks 'The P Connection' is a multifaceted journey through the realms of sophisticated and future-forward broken-beat, deep house and dark, experimental electronica which leap past basic structures opting for finely crafted compositions. 'Fill The Colors With Soen' plays with atmospheric synth layers and jazzy undertones, laid out like a soundtrack to an intergalactic journey. Niro takes his spacey sound to the dance floors with 'Train Of Vicissitudes', a 4x4 bit laced with an acid tinging. 'Reminescence' finds Niro venturing into an unorthodox form of intense electronica that punches with brutal force.
