Stil vor Talent welcomes gizA djs for their debut on the label with Italian Situation, a two-track EP moving between house and disco-infused grooves. The Italian duo delivers a release shaped by contrast, nostalgia and sharp observation, translating personal reflection into dancefloor-ready storytelling. Opening track Come Back Darling is rooted in a dusty vocal discovery that sparked a deep dive into the emotional core of house music. Built on 90s-inspired grooves, conga-driven percussion, disco-tinged brass stabs and piano riffs, the track radiates soulful warmth and uplifting energy, channeling classic house spirit through a contemporary lens. On the flip side, What Are You Doing in Italy, created together with Gianpietro, takes a more direct and playful turn. Born from an organic studio jam, a funky bassline and soulful sampling form the backbone of a track that blends irony with quiet protest. The recurring vocal question reflects the artists own conflicted feelings about cultural stagnation and change, while ambient recordings from a real Italian restaurant add an authentic, bittersweet texture.

Stil vor Talent presents Maphupho, a special cross-continental collaboration by Township Rebellion and Cioz, joined by South African vocal collective Onset Music Group and songwriter Zandimaz. Rooted in connection and movement, the track bridges electronic club culture with soulful African vocal traditions, creating a moment that feels both deeply human and primed for the dancefloor. At the heart of Maphupho are the unmistakable voices of Onset Music Group. When their acapella performance spread across social media, it didnt take long for Township Rebellion and Cioz to take notice. What started as a viral spark soon transformed into a fluid studio collaboration, where powerful vocals and electronic energy merge into togetherness. Released on January 23, 2026 Maphupho opens the year with a sense of unity and momentum. Artwork: Daria Rosso
