Luigi Madonna - Tropical Banana

Recording info

Luigi Madonna This July sees Markantonio's MKT Records deliver 'Tropical Banana', a
three track EP of superb, undulating tech house from young Italian producer, Luigi
Madonna.
Set up as sister-label to Markantonio's Analytic Trail imprint, MKT Records has shifted
focus from being an outlet for it's owners experimental works into being an incubator
for new and emerging talent such as Madonna. Having received brilliant support for
output on Rino Cerrone's Loose label and earmarked for a forthcoming release on
Mihalis Safras' revered Material Series, Madonna clearly fits the label's remit and
follows in the footsteps of Joseph Capriati, Flavio Diaz and Mladen Tomic with his EP.
The title track is a slow burning groove which builds, via a series of tweaked out effects
and warped drum hits, into a muscular peak-time cut which is sent into overdrive with a
massive synth sweep which really does damage.
'Bacon Burger' is, as the title suggests, a meaty slice of tech house formed around a
fluid set of synthetic and organic percussion which is steady, filling sustenance for any
discerning dancefloor in search of a groove to lock into.
The grinding trippiness of 'One Day' closes proceedings with some warm chords stabs
and vocal oddness atop a typically airtight groove.
Luigi Madonna is one to watch, for sure..
