Music producer Greg Kozo has shared his latest EP The Story of Rita Faltoyano, which is packed with two uniquely vibrant and awe-inspiring house tracks with a hint of retro appeal. Released via Enchanté Records, the EP concept was realized after an unforgettable story that Greg Kozo heard in a taxi.

An energetic and soft drum beat along with a gentle pulsating synthesizer arrangement starts off the EP title track. With a mellow and light intro perfect for late-night drives, we are also introduced to a haunting but charming vocal echo that lingers throughout this production fuelled track. As the track progresses the synth embellishments get more jagged and unnerving almost to insinuate that danger is just around the corner. 

On ‘Purple K.O.’ synth notes and a tense but jazzy beat collide to form an energetic groove. This makes the perfect backing soundtrack for a night of mischief and potentially a fistfight in an arcade – just as the title suggests. 

Both strong tracks, the future looks bright for Greg Kozo who has changed up his sound with his latest work. We are waiting in anticipation to see what the producer has up his sleeve in the coming months, but until then we choose to remain captured and haunted by The Story of Rita Faltoyano.

Review: DJ Aiden Francis shares invigoratingly minimal EP Mezzanine https://house-music.co/2021/11/30/review-dj-aiden-francis-shares-invigoratingly-minimal-ep-mezzanine/ Tue, 30 Nov 2021 13:29:44 +0000 https://house-music.co/?p=1599

Released this past weekend, Aiden Francis’s latest EP offering Mezzanine via Houseum is a mellow house release that can be easily enjoyed after a stressful day. Aiden is inspired by out of the box electronic acts that have been dominating playlists like Peggy Gou, DJ Seinfeld and Chaos In The CBD. The music producer has breathed electronic music since his early teenage years, experimenting with soundwaves at the tender age of fourteen.

This non-chalant blend of electronic embelishments pulls away from Francis’s previous club orientated style. The DJ has mentioned that the lockdown inspired him to channel a more minimal energy into his sound, and the result is four elegantly simplistic tracks that can be enjoyed whenever. Aiden Francis has proven that he can adapt to change with this latest EP, intro ‘Revolver’ is a warped but warm greeting to the the evolution of Francis’s style. This may be due to the low-key synth infusions that that cascade the track.

‘Elegy’ takes a more refined and predominantly synth  approach, still ideal for a relaxing evening but also the ideal soundtrack needed to help you stay motivated and focused. ‘Porcelain’ fuses the energy of the previous tracks to unveil a upbeat lounge track perfect for intimate gatherings with friends. EP title track ‘Mezzanine’ fades the concluding track out with finesse and class. There is definitely a track for every house music lover on this EP.

EP track ‘Revolver’ features on the Spotify playlist HOUSE_GROUND.fm
