#48 Feat. Staff Picks in Progressive House

Delivering the goods for the next Sudbeat instalment its the label very own Graziano Raffa who dons his producer hat again for the Sparking Plugs EP. An addict to DJ culture, the Italian managed to build a reputation within the scene thanks to his tireless work behind the curtains of the label but not only that. Always blending all shapes of house and techno, his productions and dj sets helped him to reach some of the finest spots within the nightlife Eden, boasting appearances in top venues like Stereo, Warung, Ministry of Sound, Forja, Nom or Barutana, just to name a few. Opening with Sparking Plugs a bumpty beat and carefully layered percussion reveals delicate samba-esque rhythms. As the bass drops the track toughens up for the dancefloor in fine form. Disco synth and airy orchestral pads fill the mid section as the track reaches fever pitch ready for the final drive for the finish. Love Stories takes a deeper path. Stripped back percs and a spiky bass add low end grunt, while pretty arp flurries and vibing keys are like mind candy for the soul. Finally One More Star delves deep into dubby prog territory. A total journeyman track, each new element adds soul and class.
