EP1

Nicola Conte once again expands creativity through a joint venture with fellow Bari-based and rising to international fame producer Nico Lahs: a connection rooted in an artistic synergy melting leftfield dance music and live organic sounds. Stylistically, Tema Due have a sophisticated, elegant approach to dance music for clubs. Anchored in Afro-jazz percussion, the sound evolves into electronic territory through an irresistible groove. The compositions are richly layered yet deceptively simple: on "Macumba De Oxalá" - whose title alone evokes trance-like states and cathartic release - voices and instruments gradually emerge, building toward an increasingly hypnotic and immersive crescendo. La Danse de l'Esprit unfolds in a similar fashion and features four special guests who bring an exotic, textured feel to the track: Dario Bassolino on electric piano, Magnus Lindgren on flute, Abdissa Assefa on percussion, and Lalin St. Juste on vocals.
