Foreplays had a very good reaction from both audience and critics, so it deserved a proper remixes release.
The result is this HWR021: seven remixes by seven music mates from all over Italy: Digi G’Alessio is part of the Overknight crew and maybe the most important italian name in the wonky dubstep scene. His last release is a great split with UXO, another Foreplays remixer and creator of the blog Queenspectra. Desanimaux, part of Homework and great visionary remixer. Furtherset is just 17 and already played at Dancity Festival and Club to Club. Railster from Udine, part of Reddarmy and creator of the Beat.it compilation. Grillo is a well known name at HWR since he’s the author of “Fireworks” released on our label. Last but not least Mstk: part of the crew Alive Lab, maybe the most beautiful news in the electronic scene of Bologna.
Everything ends with “Starz are coming in”, an unreleased Apes on Tapes’ original.
Enjoy. Come on!

So, if you still haven’t grabbed it yet head over at www.homeworkrecords.net and get it now. For free. I listened to it all week and it’s really great, trust me.

Gonna be out feb 15th on homework records
Let’s say i’m very very proud of how this turned out. The guys at homework did an excellent job roping in the talent for this, and i’ve been playing the tracks non stop for weeks now, yeah, they’re that great. But please listen for yourself in the promo video.

As one of Homework’s best albums ever, “Fireworks” deserved a bomb remixes release, meant to underline and deconstruct the original one.

FIREWORKS REMIXES adds a wider look to the downbeat scene already visited by Grillo.
Everything in our plans just happened as we involved an important international name like the parisian Fulgeance; a well known italian one like (Costa) and a rising talent from Bologna: Unstable Compound.

Finally out, 9 tracks, free download, get it here!

A bit of old school, a lot of visionary abstract instrumental hiphop, some dubstep references, a bunch of sweet melodic taste mixed with dusty sounds: this is the receipt of a great downbeat album like “Fireworks” and this is how Grillo kicks off his debut match with the Homework Records team!

Matteo shows how the new Italian abstract hiphop movement is active and fresh, winking to old school stuff and watching to contemporary instrumental tendencies at the same time.

“Fireworks” puts together influences by Prefuse 73′s melodic taste, powerful triumphal beat lines and a lot of attractive spoken quotes perfectly cut into the main rhythmic pattern.

Out tomorrow on homeworkrecords.net

Very proud of this, made with pure love.

I think it didn’t turn out too bad.
