Lorenzo Marinelli

19/12/11 Type: Release - Genre: Electro Techno

Lorenzo Marinelli is a writer, journalist, musician, dj and videomaker. He loves to play different genres: pop, classic, electronic and soundtracks. In 2011 he has been noted for the Cornershop (feat. Celeste)’s remix of the song: Non Stop Radio.

2. Non-Stop Radio (Lorenzo Marinelli Remix) by cornershop

After a five year of experimentation “Electo”, the first full lenght album by Lorenzo Marinelli, is out for Mashhh Records.

Electo is acid, violent, angry. Minimal. Killer bassdrum and hyper bass. All the songs with their obsessive and repetitive beats are made to make you dance, fall exhausted, raise and dance again. Rarely vocals, just to point up the beat.

No mercy for the dancefloor!

Take a listen. Electro is available in all the digital stores and CD.

To You Mom:

13/12/11 Type: Release - Genre: Electronic Indie

To You Mom: is a complex entity, a sort of nebulous formed by a human being, Luca Lorenzi (voice) and two galaxies: M110 (programming, sampler, effects) and M51 (guitars, sampler, effects). They met accidentally at the entrance of a black hole, now they have joined together in the antimatter.

“I am Ian” is their debut EP and is out for Mashhh! records, an italian indie label that has already given us 2 masterpieces as “1979″ and “The Nature” by Casa del Mirto (we haven’t even talked about their albums because we are preparing a big surprise).

“I AM IAN” is a 6 track EP which explores the life of Ian Coleman, an unlucky spaceman who leaves  Earth trying to find an answer to the big questions of existence. There is a little bit of Ian in all of us, our troubles, our fears and our doubts and even our hopes. Ian is the reflection of the lonely walk of our lives.
During these 6 songs Ian guides us into a space trip in which you could see stars dancing at synth pop melody, planets where time is marked by psychedelic rhythms and sometimes you can breath tropical atmosphere.

ERGOTH METHOD

20/07/11 Type: Release - Genre: Electronic

Good news for Ergot Method! His first EP “the big boss jump” is ready and will be released on 8 August on Noiseporn records.

Ergot began his musical career as a clarinetist, fascinated by jazz culture and improvisation. After he leaves the conventional music and fascinated by the live performances of great masters such as Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Prodigy, he started his electronic way at the age of 13. In 2000 born the project Ergot, which was consolidated in 2010 as Ergot Method.
Despite being a true electronic music project, the inspiration comes from artists of a different mold:
“Baudelaire, and Kandinsky and their synaesthetic skills have taught me that the purpose of art is to generate something in the viewer and not only represent it, and you must fit in the existing historical and artistic context, the culture of improvisation in jazz music taught me how to do it: not through a simple playback of the songs, but through a dynamic live performance”;
the thrust of innovative underground artists like Bloody Beetrots, Deadmau5, Wolfgang Gartner, Junkie XL, Justice, and others strongly influences his style, giving an energetic and aggressive electro ilk, especially suited to represent this era of great change.
In particular, the new economic crisis, is represented in his EP “the big boss jump”, in reference to the fateful jump from the palaces of managers in ’29. Once again the impetus for change comes from extreme situations, once again the music, more and more corrupted by commercial mechanisms, rebels and gives a voice to this change.
