Gio's back!

Up next on Fresh Meat are three tracks by Italian producer and DJ Giovanni Damico from White Rabbit Recordings. We have been big fans of Damico since releasing his When It Was Fresh EP on Fresh Meat last year. Damico’s tracks are unrefined, stripped-back and funky. His way of working and aesthetic harken back to the golden era early-90s house productions, but his sound is far from retro. All three tracks featured here are produced in Damico’s playful and intoxicating style.

The EP opener, “Get In The Spirit” literally commands the dancer to do just that. An elemental groove provides the backbone for the earthy vocals on this jam. The second track, “Fanu Bob” incorporates short melodic samples cycling back and forth between various instrumental refrains and vocal passages. The EP closes with “Dirty Disc,” a thick bass and drum workout using beautifully timed sparse melodies and psychedelic elements.
