Don't take this too seriously...it was made as a joke but it's real... The famous TV comedian actor Giovanni Vernia is now on shops with his debut single "Essiamonoi"! Produced by Harley&Muscle and distributed by Self, this 12" maxi-single has nothing to do with the deep and funky sounds you are used to hear from me, but it is perfect for dancefloors where people just want to have fun. As for my version, I'm sure a lot of people will criticize it...very different from my usual sounds...but it was committed directly by Giovanni Vernia - he wanted me to do it in Adam K's style - dreamy trance-house and so I did.

This 12" single is just the smaller part of a much bigger project and investment by Time Records, which mainly focuses on the "Essiamonoi" compilation, released on a double-CD set, and distributed by Self as well, featuring some of the top electro, minimal and progressive house tracks of the last months. There, on CD2 you can find Feather Parisi's "No Way Out" (Deep Progressive Mix), a project of some months ago which was produced and composed by me and released on Beatport in Sep 2008. A kind of sound which sometimes I like to do...but don't take it too seriously OK?

This is the first serie of a set of remixes of Rosa Morena's songs taken from the "No Fim Do Dia EP" (KLK008), released at the end of the last year by Kolonki Recordings. Peter did a very good job with this project, because he managed to produce a very musical EP, focusing on the songs rather than on the arrangements in the original release, and to keep the club stuff for the remix packages.

The 6 remixes of "Te Amo" cover almost all tastes of house music freaks. The remix project involved me, Brazilian Soul Crew, Toni Toolz and The Groovegetters. My remix is a classic deephouse act, only with a slightly more clubby beat than usual; BSC mixes are quite interesting as well, moreover their dub which is a perfect balance between tribal, deep and minimal house; Toni Toolz mix is a modern house mix with a smooth electro style; and I've found quite funny and interesting the Groovegetters Dub - some kind of indie-dance, nu-disco house, very cool for the most "alternative" dancefloors.

As always, the package includes a little "gem" from Peter; in this case we have his bossa mix which I'd call original mix because there you can hear the real soul of the song. A very slow beat with just guitar, vocals, shaker and percussions.

In my opinion, one of the best Kolonki's releases so far. Unlike the last KLK009 Dihann Moore's release, this will stay a digital-only release. You can buy it on Beatport, Traxsource and Juno Download.
