DESCRIPTION:
4 Track EP Of Deep House, Acid & Tech - Italy’s Tuccillo is back on Kaoz Theory this July with his ‘First Summer’ EP, once again showcasing his widely lovely interpretation of stripped-down, groove-led house.
Making his start in the 90’s and still as relevant as ever, Tuccillo, has become highly sought after both for his records and as a DJ, his name is synonymous with gritty, groovy and dance floor focused jams which have found a home on many reputed imprints such as Visionquest, 20/20 Vision, Free-range, his own House Of Tucci and of course Kerri Chandler’s Kaoz Theory where he returns here. Tuccillo also operates as one half of the Doublet duo alongside Holic Trax boss Tomoki Tamura amongst many other sonic side ventures. Opening is title-track ‘First Summer’, perfectly setting the tone with Tuccillo’s distinctive style which utilises, fluttering stab sequences, bouncy bass tones, choppy vocal cuts and a bulbous bass groove atop a raw, reduced rhythm. ‘One More’ follows next and leans heavily into dub house realms with gritty, echoing dub chords, ethereal pad textures and murky bass swells delicately ebbing and flowing around a saturated swinging drum groove. ‘People For The People’ follows next and lays down organic percussion with filtered funklicks, a snaking bass line and jazzy keys before ‘Gotta Be Free’ concludes the release, heading back to a more stripped-back aesthetic courtesy of twitchy acid-tinged bass hits, fluttering synth melodies, crisp drums and an amalgamation of processed vocal chants throughout.
Reliable Italian house hero Guiseppe Tuccillo continues his productive partnership with Kerri Chandler's Kaoz Theory label, offering up a deliberately summery EP to follow his fine previous excursions of 2023, 'The Waves' and 'Sundown' EPs. The Ibiza-based artist is in fine form from the off, with 'First Summer' delivering a chunky, locked-in garage-house number peppered with glistening guitar licks, tactile vocal loops and undulating bass. The more bumpin' and peak-time-ready 'One More Follows', before Tuccillo successfully tries his hand at hybrid organic/electronic house on the rolling excellence of the sample-heavy 'People For The People'. To round things off, he expertly joins the dots between NYC garage-house and Chicago acid on the similarly sample-rich 'Gotta Be Free'.
