Black Vinyl!

Tunnel was made in Naples in 1978 by Giorgio Verdelli and Danilo Rustici only on 7inch and it was the theme song for two RAI radio programs. Going through the names of the musicians we begin with the inimitable voice and the splendid guitars of Danilo Rustici, then passing through the saxophones of Enzo Avitabile we arrive at the keyboards of Joe Amoruso, musician-arranger who left a great void with his untimely death. For Joe, who crossed his experience with Premiata Forneria Marconi, Zucchero, Vasco Rossi, Mauro Pagani and was part of that 'dream team' of Pino Daniele - made up of technically extraordinary musicians, but above all gifted with an inimitable sound - this one-off project represented his recording debut. 'Tunnel Lights' and 'Speed Up' have been brought to light by Dario Di Pace and Claudio Casalini, two visionaries who believe that Neapolitan music is a sonic mixture of ancient and modern musical registers even if it sometimes develops a conflict between tradition and modernity as the recovery of popular tradition is strongly opposed to the push for innovation. This therefore is the reason for a 12" reissue in which the evocative original songs - from almost 50 years ago - are reflected in the new versions created by a bevy of talented DJ-arrangers including Massimo Berardi (with the bassist Luca Andreozzi) and by the industrious and passionate Francisco & Malkuth (ed: Francesco De Bellis and Cosimo 'Cosmo' Mandorino in disguise) in turn assisted by other zealous musicians and dee-jays - including the very good and always very collaborative Raffaele Arcella - who took part in a remix of this EP with enormous fervor The 12" reissue of Tunnel was released both on the classic black vinyl and in the very limited red vinyl version, in order to reflect the lips of the extravagant cover, a graphic work by another brilliant and multifaceted artist: Lino Vairetti, legendary singer of the historic prog rock band Osanna. The envelope developed by Best Record is embossed (front and back cover) to further enhance the passion that Neapolitan musicians have always had in knowing how to combine their roots with all the other musical genres of the world.

[T U N N E L] returns on Etichetta Nera with a terse, broken beat anthem asking the question, "How many of you out there...have ever been...part of a RITUAL?". With cross-Atlantic deep treatments by Victor Martinez (Psycho Skunk, Calahorra), Corbin Davis (Blank Code, Detroit), and Darren Quail (Animal Farm, Glasgow), The Ritual ep crosses datelines and sonic boundaries with one purpose: to get deep on the dancefloor.

Visual Techno. Electronic Meditation. Crowd Synergy. Passionate about techno music as a shamanistic medium, TUNNEL is an electronic music group focused solely on evoking an inward journey through inspired, sonically complex electronic music. Vivid, poly-rhythmic techno becomes the medium through which TUNNEL unfold their vision of self, unity, and possibility. The ENTER ep marks their debut. With their A-side, Moment of Introspection and Through the Noise Field, TUNNEL creates two peak hour Berghain-inspired techno tracks built around layered synths, tense builds, and driving rhythms. With thoughtful breaks and sonic twists, they combine a sensitivity to the needs of the DJ to inspire a moment. The intensity of the tracks derives from TUNNEL's signature sound, sustained atmospheric builds derived from singing bowls and other instruments used in world meditation practice. The result is a hard-edged drive towards a mind-altering dancefloor experience. The B-side includes two remixes of Through the Noise Field by veteran producers Steve Stoll (Proper NYC) and Chance McDermott. Steve Stoll's remix hooks the listener with its driving, thick percussion and melodic loop from the original. It sits perfectly in a peak-hour techno set. Chance McDermott's message to the masses, DANCE!. His playful, club-friendly workout inspires the wall-flowers to get on the floor with catchy electro-inspired melodic hooks and Detroit-focused synth bass. More
