SCHEMA

Second EP for the music project Tema Due by Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs, a refined blend of spiritual jazz, Afro-American rhythms and electronic sensibility, designed for the most eclectic and sophisticated dancefloors. The Tema Due project is aimed at a refined club scene, attentive to the depth and purpose of sound, where body and spirit move in harmony in a musical language that not only entertains but also elevates. "EP2" sees the participation of the talented young Brazilian percussionist Gabriel Prado and long-time partner pianist Pietro Lusso, while "Share Your Love" is interpreted by singer Nina Miranda, who brings emotional depth to a track that talks about peace, sharing and love between peoples. "EP2" precedes the release of Tema Due's full-length album, which is currently taking shape; the album will also be followed by a third EP with additional unreleased tracks, symbolically closing a trilogy of sound and vision. A coherent, intense and uncompromising musical journey, where club culture meets spirituality and artistic exploration.

Always unique in blending traditional elements (latin jazz, funk, soul) with modern sounds, since "Moving Ahead" in 2020 Gerardo Frisina, a leading name in the international jazz and electronic music scene, has introduced new 'cosmic' and 'futuristic' elements into his style. His evolution culminates today with "In Sight", a double work conceived and produced in two separate volumes. "In Sight Vol. 2" is characterised by four new structured compositions with a distinct psychedelic and minimal-dance vein that makes them more structured and thoughtful. In addition, the new arrangements of "Mindoro", "Tarab" and "Mystical Funk" represent the 'club-oriented' moments of this release. One of Gerardo Frisina's most complete and eclectic productions ever!

Gerardo Frisina

In Sight, Vol. 1

Always unique in blending traditional elements (latin jazz, funk, soul) with modern sounds, since "Moving Ahead" in 2020 Gerardo Frisina, a leading name in the international jazz and electronic music scene, has introduced new 'cosmic' and 'futuristic' elements into his style. His evolution culminates today with "In Sight", a double work conceived and produced in two separate volumes. "In Sight Vol. 1", finally revealed in all its glory, is still oriented towards the clubbing context, with the exception of "O Soñho", a slower-paced bossa nova with a cinematic atmosphere. The album also contains a previously unreleased instrumental version of "Samba Skindim" (title track from the 2009 10" EP), a 'great classic' and one of Frisina's most appreciated compositions both by listeners and Gerardo himself.

TRACK LISTING

1. Mindoro
2. Desejar
3. Tarab
4. Coherente
5. Some Soul
6. O Soñho
7. Samba Skindim (Instrumental)

Gerardo Frisina & Toco

Deixa Passar / Ilê

    Introduced by the single "Deixa Passar", this 12" EP concretizes the renewed collaboration between the two Schema Records artists Gerardo Frisina and Tomaz 'Toco' Di Cunto, working together again five years after the release of the EP “Frisina Meets Toco". The two unreleased songs here include the aforementioned “Deixa Passar” and “Ilê”, featured in their original and reworked versions, representing an excellent blend of samba jazz and Brazilian popular music. In both tracks, the music composed and arranged by Gerardo backs up the Portuguese language lyrics and melodic lines of Toco, who duets with Luzia Dvorek in an almost surprising contrast between serious and graceful sounds. The instrumental department features Gianluca Petrella on trombone, Eduardo Taufic on piano ("Deixa Passar") and Fender Rhodes ("Ilê"), and Edu Moreno on flute ("Ilê"), in an excellent union of opposites between popular music and modern sounds; between acoustic instruments and electronics, with mystical influences that envelop the songs with a mysterious and attractive aura. Not only musically, but also visually and lyrically, this EP is a tribute to the Brazilian culture and lands, already from a cover that re-imagines the iconic shapes of the famous Copacabana pavement in Rio De Janeiro: while “Deixa Passar” celebrates Rio’s carnival as an opportunity to momentarily free oneself from the burdens of life, “Ilê” recalls the traditions of Salvador De Bahia’s historic ‘bloco afro’ quarter called Ilê Aiyê.

    This is the second 12" EP featuring reinterpretations of tracks taken from the brilliant Nicola Conte & Gianluca Petrella's jazz dance album "People Need People" released in 2021. The song "Inner Light" gets here a further interpretation by the great Anthony Nicholson, one of the most respected producers and key characters in the tribal / afrocentric house scene, while DJ Spinna has put his artistry on "New World Shuffle" for an uplifting result: Bridgette Amofah's original vocals shine over a sunny house groove full of keys and moog lushy layers, in a distinctive 'Spinna feel'. Coming next: new versions of "People Need People" songs made by Tall Black Guy, Andrés and Fred P.! Stay tuned!!!
