CIELARKO EP

A1. Blanka A2. Flava B1. Verdeta B2. Helblua SALES NOTES Italian legend Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca team up for ˜Cielarko™ on Gottwax this May. Often mentioned in the same breath as DJing pioneers Francis Grasso, David Mancuso and Nicky Siano, Baldelli™s storied history includes his various long-running residencies, the most well-known being the legendary Cosmic club in Italy, and establishing the now world-renowned ˜cosmic sound™. Teaming up here with his regular production partner DJ Rocca, the duo reunite for four immaculately produced and colourful tracks for Gottwax Records, the record label from the UK™s Gottwood Festival. Leading the release, ˜Blanka™ brings rolling low end and psychedelic synth work together with floaty yet punchy percussion for a mid-tempo trip. ˜Flava™ follows with sharp staccato drum hits and Italo disco inspired leads, making for a light and playful closer to the A-side. On the flip, ˜Verdeta™ brings twisted basslines, FX-laden licks and wonky drums for a fun and enjoyable track before ˜Helblua™ rounds out the release with light keys, chugging percussion, and catchy riffs.
