As the winds of music blow, a wise heart navigates the spiral, finding wisdom in each of its twists and turns, and as DUBBLACK’s catalogue grows, the novelty and exploration for new music keeps on thriving.
A brand-new record is approaching, out on a 12’’ dubplate vinyl -limited to 300 copies- and in digital format, featuring the presence of two Masters from the Electronic Music scene: A2 Abd El Monim and Tocchitek.
The “Dark Side” EP includes “Euriale” and “Steno”; two expansive compositions that masterly observe the task of narrating two complementary stories, each with its distinct moments, yet marked by a strong rhythmic temper.
A2 Abd El Monim, born Alan Abd El Monim, is an italian-egyptian artist/composer. He expresses himself through the creation of music ranging from electronic to purely instrumental, and through the interaction between the arts. His poetics opens in a "dark" dimension that considers and interprets the facts through the notion of shadows and darkness but also through penombre. His "dark" vision stands as a filter through which he reads the world and its interactions, therefore using also the notion of light.
Tocchitek is an underground Tekno producer and performer born in Milan, Italy. He started playing live in 2007 as part of the “Approdo Caronte” sound system based in Milan. His first significant appearance as a live performer was at a “Mayday Parade” in 2008 in Milan. In 2009, he joined the “R909 Records” chapters crew based in Milan, bringing his live set to many local club dance floors. Meanwhile, he collaborated and played with many crews around Europe, spreading his music in the free Underground Tekno movement. In 2021, in Milan, he launched “F.M.T Records”.
Simplicity is the hardest thing to achieve when making this type of music, primarily designed for uncompromising dance-floors, but the duo neatly channels their message with purity and truthfulness.
Layout and design are entrusted to Vittorio Valigi, who puts a greyscale spiral a the centre of the cover. A spiral within which one an eye can be glimpsed – the eye of the musical soul of DUBBLACK harmoniously fused with that of A2 Abd El Monim and Tocchitek.
