The new signing | | is announced with the hip-hop influenced lead single 'Individuality | | Riddim'. | | | | Inspired by an Ecuadorian upbringing, percussion is at the heart of | | how Nicola operates, with his style finding a natural home on the | | London label. Presenting 5 expansive efforts equally indebted to | | traditional drumming as they are to contemporary club sounds, | | 'Subtropique' remains sonically cohesive without feeling the need to | | settle to a definable style. The tracks are tied together by a lucid | | psychedelic thread, which despite challenging the expectations and | | fundamentals of electronic dance music, demand movement at a time | | where we yearn for it. | | | | The EP is a new experiment for Nicola who had to strip back his setup | | to produce at home, using fewer elements. Noting the power of | | collaboration, Nicola enlisted long-time collaborator and master of | | drums Pablo Vincencio for 'Zularic Permutations'. On 'Barretto', | | Nicola recognises the history of his influences, paying tribute to | | the North American percussionist Ray Barretto from the golden age of | | La Fania - a collective and record label originating in NYC in the | | 60s which is renowned for helping to bring Latin music to a global | | audience. | | | | Nicola has gone on to become one of South America's most celebrated | | electronic musicians, with monthly listeners in the millions across | | Europe and Latin America via releases on ZZK Records, Optimo Music | | and Multi Culti, and famous Boiler Room and Cercle performances. | | | | | | Produced and written by Nicola Cruz. | | Percussion on Zularic Permutations by Pablo Vicencio. | | Mastering by Frank @ The Carvery. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2021-=----------------------/__\--'
