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.

Tema Due, Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs

EP1

Nicola Conte once again expands creativity through a joint venture with fellow Bari-based and rising to international fame producer Nico Lahs: a connection rooted in an artistic synergy melting leftfield dance music and live organic sounds. Stylistically, Tema Due have a sophisticated, elegant approach to dance music for clubs. Anchored in Afro-jazz percussion, the sound evolves into electronic territory through an irresistible groove. The compositions are richly layered yet deceptively simple: on "Macumba De Oxalá" - whose title alone evokes trance-like states and cathartic release - voices and instruments gradually emerge, building toward an increasingly hypnotic and immersive crescendo. La Danse de l'Esprit unfolds in a similar fashion and features four special guests who bring an exotic, textured feel to the track: Dario Bassolino on electric piano, Magnus Lindgren on flute, Abdissa Assefa on percussion, and Lalin St. Juste on vocals.

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.

4. Coherente
5. Some Soul

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.

S-Tone Inc.

Body & Soul - The Disco Experience

S-Tone Inc. is back with a full rework of his previous full-length "Body & Soul", a homage to the late '70s / early '80s disco music that the artist used to immerse in during those adventurous years. Early '90s British acid jazz, '70s soul, Brazilian and jazz music are here reworked in a nu-disco key, with the exception of the downbeat tracks "Flying Away" and "Midnight Sun" and the 'spacey' "Odoya", rearranged by The Invisible Session without mining the overall mood of this release.
