TRACKLIST A1 - Honey I'm... A2  Fly B1 - Knock Knock B2  Wildcard INFO Rossi. returns to HOMEGROWN., unveiling the second release on the label - ˜I™ve Been Waiting™. An artist constantly in the record boxes of the scene™s biggest names and a core figure amongst the ˜new generation™ pushing the UK house and minimal scene forward, yet a DJ/producer with an ever-growing global profile, the demand for Rossi. and his seemingly never-ending list of unreleased productions go hand in hand. Continually levelling up, last summer saw him showcasing his wider creative vision as an artist even further as he unveiled a project a long time in the works, his own label HOMEGROWN., with the first ˜Welcome™ EP racking up love from Enzo Siragusa, Cristi Cons, Varhat, Djebali and Chris Stussy to name just a few. Returning after a brief hiatus, with an impressive schedule set to drop across the year ahead, he returns this March to offer up the sophomore EP on the label with four heavily-requested productions across ˜I™ve Been Waiting™. The snappy and provocative ˜Honey I™m„™ is an example of the UK talent as his best, utilising playful, hooky female vocal snippets above snaking grooves and skippy drums to open proceedings, while A2 ˜Fly™ utilises a squelchy bassline and sharp drums to keep the energy levels high. On the flip, the rugged and no-nonsense ˜Knock Knock™ opens the B-side with authority as driving low-ends take hold before journeying into a more tonal production guided by blooming synths, with the resonant and cosmic tones of ˜Wildcard™ stripping things back to close on a serene tip. The package is also the first EP on the label released in a physical format, with the records pressed using ECO-Mix - reusing old, discarded and damaged vinyl as a more sustainable way of pressing records - while offering a unique colour and look across each record for owners. ''HOMEGROWN. - sounds influenced by a product of their environment.''
