A long time ago, Italians (particulary the ones from Neaples) were known all around the world as “pizza, spaghetti & mandolino", until a time came when a generation of great producers turned the stereotype into “pizza, spaghetti, mandolino & funky techno", creating a world-famous scene and giving birth to an immediately recognisable style: but this was some years ago. Now that those big producers sit among the world’s top djs and tour the globe with their sunny and warm techno, it’s time for some new and talented kids to enter the Neapolitan techno scene with their new and fresh ideas and we at the Exprezoo headquarters are always looking for fresh and new creative ideas, so we found one of them who seems to have a brilliant future ahead: his name is Enrico Maraffini aka Quike and his “La vie en rose ep” joins the usual Neapolitan techno style with a house feeling that really moved us. The title track has an extremely melodic and classy female vocal that turns the typical Neapolitan groove in an ultra-hot tune that will bring the Italian sun in every open air and every club in Ibiza this summer, while on the other side “De belleville” reenforces the long-lasting link between Neaples and Detroit with a bomb that tastes like sweating and hands in the air. To complete the ep, then, Rio Padice aka Ragga fonda’s remix for “De belleville” puts the focus on the housey soul of the original track adding a deep and melancholy atmosphere that brings images to mind of dawn on the seaside.
