UMM have returned in fighting form after a 10 year hiatus. This influential imprint, also known as Underground Music Movement are the ambassadors to organic Italian house. Originating in Naples in 1991, they reigned king of the imprints, taking pride in discovering some of the freshest talent Italy had to offer and forming unparalleled synergy with the likes of Visnadi and Fathers of Sound to name just two. Now under the the Media Records umbrella, they continue their tradition of developing raw talent and bringing it to the forefront of the dance music industry. After receiving positive acclaim for their initial relaunch EP from Ten Words, they are back in the game and raring to go with their second EP "Snow in the Desert", brought to you by legendary Italian producer, Joy Kitikonti. The Tuscan born polyhedric artist is a veteran of the scene, with a multitude of achievements under his belt spanning productions and remixes, with many of these seeing him top the European dance charts. “Music is the beginning of life, playing for me is a necessity" says the holistic producer whose Italian roots and strong ethos make him the perfect candidate for UMM's second release. Joy offers us three original cuts alongside two remixes courtesy of UMM's own Ten Words and exciting new talent Aurel Asllanaj. Straight out of the gate is Joy's original title track where he fuses his experience within both house and progressive music. The result is a controlled, fine tuned sound with punchy rhythms and theatrical elements which manifest themselves in melodic phrasing. These two concepts take turns in focus, which presents the auditor with a sense of anticipation, a true reflection of UMM's established sound. For the second cut Joy's title track is re-worked by both 10WS and the recently unearthed Aurel, whose modern and fresh approach takes it to new progressive heights. "Nightlife", exposes a more experimental side to Joy's musical expression, toying with sound and rhythm to create a dynamic cut which boasts the versatility of both artist and imprint. In fourth position is another original in the shape of "Sharing Melodies", an emotional and brooding reflection of it's title, which builds beautifully to create contrast and diversity within the EP. Finally we are treated to a "Sharing Melodies" remix by 10WS (digital only), a haunting and zealous approach to its elusive counterpart with a dense bassline, aloof leads and biting kicks that linger eerily. This melting pot of brooding tones celebrates the darker influencers in House and Techno. UMM have returned in full force with another epic EP and are snowballing their way back to the focal point of the industry. Their strong ethos and ear for talent will ensure they remain the essential pacesetters for progressive electronic house music
