About this item

Italy’s own L.D.F. returns with a fresh slab of raw, analog funk pressed strictly to wax and destined for selectors who still worship the turntable altar. Known for his dusty drum programming, hardware-led studio rituals, and a deep affection for the roots of house music, L.D.F. has steadily carved out a niche in the European underground. His sound fuses Mediterranean warmth with Midwest grit - always rough-edged, always soulful, always dancefloor-true.

His new vinyl-only EP nods directly to early Chicago house - where 808s snapped, synths hissed, and basement energy reigned supreme. Across five tracks, L.D.F. links up with a heavyweight group of collaborators: Javonntte, Gari Romalis, Tilman, and Böhm. The result is an EP that feels like a dusty box of DAT tapes discovered in a Detroit storage unit - raw, immediate, and absolutely locked into the groove.

L.D.F.’s latest offering is a study in machine rhythm, analog imperfections, and the timeless swing that defined the earliest iterations of house. With contributions from Detroit icons and European groove architects alike, the EP threads classic motifs through a modern underground sensibility, never nostalgic, always alive.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Vinyl only, real deal deep house business here from the ever allusive but highly enjoyable Shadow Pressings roster. Equal parts Muzic Box hedonism, Trax-esque machine abuse and Prescription quality deep house. Need!
